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 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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
