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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
