Can anybody name the other Grand Final Coach who never played without looking it up?  (I couldn't)

 

28oC during the game

advantage to the Lions for sure

 

Cox will have to wear his sunglasses  😂

I hope his goggles fog up and he trips over himself, falls flat on his face, breaks his nose and never plays again.

 

Another year and we don't have to wonder where our post match celebrations will be held.

Can Collingwood still use Victoria Park and how about the Lions at Brusnswick Street Oval. Olympic Park does not have the same feel.

I see the Pies are trying a fan site at Olympic Park. These have never really worked in the past. A pity.... I wonder what would attract people.

I thought our post premiership day at the MCG was well done but I hope the next one is even better

Some returned tickets from the MCC ballot become available tomorrow. I'm not bothering. 

FWIW, I was again attacked by a freakin magpie while riding today. That's 4 times in the past month.

Death to magpies!!

Joyce and Hafey both played VFL footy.  It's a great trivia question!

so hard not to google it. certainly a cracking question 

it’s actually surprising there’s aren’t more coaches that’s haven’t played at the highest level. Jose Mourinho types

Anyone going for Collingwood?

Hell will freeze over before I ever support that club.

I looked it up.

Clue: he played in the VFA

The last one I can remember is Wayne Brittain at Carlton.

edit:  Add Brendan McCartney and Neil Craig (who did play 300+ SANFL games).

I didn’t know Chris Fagan never played VFL/AFL. Now I’m wondering why I oftentimes heard Brendon Bolton being criticised as a coach because of the fact that he never played at the highest level. I’ve never heard this sort of talk about Fagan.

And there's another one!  Forgot all about him, even though he coached as recently as 2019.

I just hope it's Leigh Matthews presenting the trophy at the end of the game 

It is:

Another thing I won't see, then...

COS I WON'T BE WATCHING!

Edited by Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

Dammit, this still hurts. We absolutely should be playing this weekend. Anyway. Go Brisbane, I guess. Purely because the alternative doesn’t bear thinking.

Cox getting a medal will mean the nausea going into effect.

Maynard getting a medal will mean a churning feeling in the stomach.

Howe getting a medal will mean chunks and bile all over the tv.

I'll watch it, but the TV will be turned off if the unthinkable becomes inevitable.

Ich bin ein Brisbaner!

Won't be watching. Not sure why anyone on here would. Picking up a new car then watching our 2021 finals. Will be a great day.

What car @Clintosaurus? Take a video of picking it up and put it on Demonland, I’d rather watch that than the GF.

Anyone painting? Good viewing (relatively) there, too.

Subaru Forester Sport. If only the XT was still a thing.

No, but I could always stream one of Bob Ross’ painting sessions

Had to look him up. Nice Catoggioid hair!

However, I had the drying phase in mind. Warm day, but I reckon there'd still be 4 quarters plus presentations worth.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
