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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
