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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
