We would’ve taken a result like last night in 22-23, a chance in a prelim is what most would’ve wanted. Port are there, don’t think they will get close to Sydney, but all you can do is win.

    Yeah look I know I've hung it on Port for being flakey but it was a great effort. 

    It's probably a pass mark for their season but they are a known tease. Finished 2nd but were they 2nd really? Don't think so

    Storm certainly don't get the media coverage they deserve in Melbourne. Reverse it and say it was coverage of AFL in Brisbane or Sydney and people would be screaming. Yes I know AFL coverage in Brisbane and Sydney is not perfect but it's better than we cover the Storm.

    Looking forward to a Storm premiership (if they weren't stripped of those flags their record would be phenomenal)

    Craig Mcrae said "See you in 2 weeks" to the media in his presser before the QF against us last year and none of them said a god damn word. 

    Goodwin never buys into emotion which annoys me in some ways. He espouses this belief that effort is unconditional and motivation is intrinsic when playing for the red & blue. However, the players aren’t robots, and I think for big games it definitely pays to use whatever extra incentives you can. Considering how poor we were in that first qtr of that final, he really should have had McRae’s comments on the whiteboard. There’s no doubt that Collingwood’s arousal levels were much higher than ours for the first 30 mins of that game.

    It was smart of Hinkley to use the Ginnivan’s comments to good effect for the group. Port came out completely fired up and it was the main reason why they won that game.

    They will also enter 2025 with some of the disadvantages that teams have in their position. Such as a much tougher fixture, no top ten draft pick, a shorter pre season which might affect how they perform through the season and how they cope with injuries and their game plan is going to come under greater scrutiny.

    Let's never forget that Hawthorn has traditionally been a club of total vankers. The media has just fallen over themselves to re-brand them.

    Great win by the Storm.

    37-10... unlucky not to be closer to 50-10. Complete dominance

    A side note... Storm's winger is a mature recruit from an NZ Aussie Rules background who then tried Rugby 7's.

    Craig Bellamy doesn't get the credit either. Just a phenomenonal coach & what he can do with his players is sensational. That was a great final this afternoon.  Just dominated.

    Cmon Giants. I’d like nothing more than Brisbane continuing to under perform when it matters. 

    I have no issue with Brisbane & I like Fagan but I really hope the giants win. Not just because of Jesse and Bedford but because I think the giants can beat Geelong next week & I'd love to see them in the gf

    Will be an interesting watch. Hawthorn historically find a way rather than look for an excuse. We'll see I guess.

    Common Giants.  Hope Hoges rips them a new one.

    Bedders to stick it right up Zorko's fat clacker!

    I was going to go for Brisbane but switched to GWS after seeing majority of their players singing along with the national anthem (and no Brisbane players).

    I thought a lot of GWS players weren’t singing.
    Which is their right.

    After Fagans first two seasons his H&A winning record is around 68% which is excellent 

    Finals record is 46%

    And no GF

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
