Not that I care enough to look up the stat's. Thought he was very good early but don't recall him doing much in the second half and last 1/4

He kicked their only goal in the fourth. 

Had a poor year by his standards, and probably by any standards tbh. It’s somewhat remarkable that GWS were as good as they were this year despite him being mediocre.

    Imo the Lions are a much better chance to beat the Cats than GWS were. Tom Green is left to do too much. The Lions midfield is deep and that is the Cats weakness

    Did someone else feel like Toby Green went MIA in these finals? Nothing against Sydney and nothing today.

    2 weeks in a row he missed gettable goals

    Joe kicked 18 goals in his last 3 seasons at the bombers

    and has now kicked over 200 goals in 4 seasons at the Lions

    Ive come to like the bloke. not just for walking out on the bombers but he is never boring and just does his thing with no fuss

    the chewing gum too is definitely a point of admiration. Like his coach. I like it. He might not if he choked on it though.

    Chris Fagan is an unbelievable coach. Well done to him.

    That was epic!!!

    I agree re Fagan. I was rapt for him and I'll support the Lions for the rest of finals. 

    Hope Fagen is holding up Cup at the end of Grand Final. I'll go and cheer for them the next two weeks seeing I can't cheer for us. I'd rather hear their theme song around the G as compared to the one I had to hear last year when final siren went.!

    You would think a bloke like Josh Kelly at 29 would step up when Coniglio went down. He has so much talent. 

    Still waiting on his Brownlow. Or a flag  

    Barrett??

    Green kicked two quite incredible goals.

    Big game by Jesse Hogan too.

    I think JVR will be even better than Hogan. A better attitude than Jesse.

    Hogan and Bedford continue the Dees’ grand tradition of going out in straight sets.

    If Bedford kicked his shot from 40m directly in front they would have won

    He’ll always be a demon

    If we end up with a Geelong v Sydney GF again then it will mean those two clubs plus Hawthorn, Richmond, West Coast and Collingwood, will have won 18 of the last 20 flags (the Dogs and us being the other two).

    And then the other two sides won the four previous flags, which mean that we are guaranteed to see that 23 of the last 25 flags (2001-2024) have been won by 8 clubs.

    A Port v Lions GF would suit me

    Dont care who wins but at least it’s not the academy Swans or the never [censored] off Cats

    Both would have beaten Geelong. Cats beat flakey Port and everyone thinks they are champions…? Cats’ midfield is very very weak. Neale, McLuggage, Ashcroft, Dunkley etc vs Dangerfield and … Atkins, Bruhn, Bowes? I know Chris Scott is good, but I just don’t see it.

    I wonder if GWS would have done better if a few more fans had been there. Terrible attendance for such a game!

    GW$ last three finals lost by a combined total of 12 points

    i think a side in the top 4 has been rolled in straight sets every year since the invention of the pre-finals bye

    daniher nailed those last 2 goals. clutch from him

    Barracking for Daniher is like you’re driving a big yank tank V8 from the 70s. 
    You might have 400HP, but no [censored] steering. 
    It might not start. Or the accelerator might jam on and send you over a cliff, or to your destination in a hurry.

    You just don’t know.

    do we take any solace out of the fact that the last time we played the preliminary finalists we lost to 3 of them by less than a goal and beat the other one?

    Nope. Watching these finals teams shows me how far back we are. Big changes needed at the Demons if we’re to match them.

    We did well against both of these teams despite our injury concerns this season. Could have and should have won both games. We will be back in 25. Go Dees!

    Take it up with Daniel Hoyne of Champion Data, but he says that ever since Dangerfield has come back, they've been the best midfield, and he'll vomit if he hears another person keep calling it their weakness.

    Footy is disappointing. Cats will beat the Lions easily. Bloody hope not though.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
