Not Port Adelaide. Any team associated with Kane Cornes really.

Gws for jesse.

Then don't care.

    Not sure if the finals can work out like this, but would love a GWS vs Hawthorn Grand Final just purely from an entertainment point of view. Would be an exciting spectacle in my opinion.

    It can happen.

    GWS to lose to Sydney, then beat Brisbane, then beat Port.

    Hawthorn beat Dogs, then beat Geelong, then beat Sydney.

    Probably that regular poster who barracks for Carlton.

    That regular poster who barracks for Carlton is @No. 31 and has always been supportive of the Dees. You don’t see him bag our players like it’s a hobby. In fact, he’s more of a Dees supporter than many Dees supporters.

    I actually like the way Carlton play when they have a full side… can’t stand the rest of the top 8 barring GWS.

    I don't know what it is about Jesse, but I still love him. I remember reading that he was at the 21 GF to support the boys. He left on the final siren. He was happy for us, but sad for himself.
    Go Jesse. Do it for your Dad.

    Thanks WCW ☺️ Even been a Dees member 2 years running 😁 My gut feeling is that the Dees bounce back next year. Sign one of the King brothers and a solid backup ruckman and MFC are flag contenders in 2025 I say 😈

    GWS or the Dogs. 

    Realistically, anyone apart from the Blues or Sydney.

    GWS for Hogan/Bedford. Bonus that their theme is dope. 
     
    Dogs next cos Bont is talented enough to be a 2 time premiership player.
    Would also be nice for Trealor to finally win one after a 4th attempt. 

  • Quote

    Doggies pls.

    1.  My best friend is a dog

    2.  I had the pleasure of meetimg the Bont and he is as genuine & humble a bloke as you'll ever meet.  It was like talking to a next door neighbour yet he's a super star of the comp.  No airs, graces or pretentious stuff here.  What you see is what you get.

    3.  The Doggies have taken on a few of our boys in Harmes and ginger Baker.

    My next pick is GWS for Hogan & Bedford's sake.  Still hurts losing both of em.

    They will be a markedly different side in the first final, if they can get back a decent number of Curnow, McKay, McGovern, TDK, Saad, Marchbank, Boyd, Cerra and/or Martin.

    They have no pressure, as most expected them to miss the finals altogether. They'll be underdogs against Brisbane even if they get all these players back. But their best football this year has been in the best football any side's played, and they can do damage if the release the mental shackles.

    (Or alternatively they'll get pumped by Brisbane. TBH not sure.)

    Getting nervous that it might be the Hawks that could go all the way. They are coming into the finals with a full head of steam having demolished a succession of teams and lost a close one to GWS. They haven’t been on TV much so I haven’t seen a lot of what their doing but they appear to be moving the ball rapidly and through the corridor at all costs. Their recruiting has concentrated on leg speed, kicking skills and quick small forwards.
     

    Reminds me of the Dee’s campaigns in 87, 98 and 2000, the difference is we ran into genuine quality, inform sides at the pointy end of the finals. This season would be a great year to get into the finals as every side in the 8 has deficiencies and a lot have patchy form. It’s wide open for a young team in form.

    Love your posts

    I wish we could be clear eyed as you

    Speaking to a work colleague today reflecting on the year and he remarked how he laughed when at the start of the year I said we’d miss finals. I then said I think we’ll be ok in 2025 - this year has a 2020 feel to it. Hopefully this galvanises the group.

    good luck to your mob!

    The figures speak for themselves.  

    Over two thirds of respondents nominated GWS and almost 80% are hoping for a NSW victory.

    The Bulldogs also have some friends.

    Nobody wants Geelong to win.  This is very reassuring and exactly as it should be.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
