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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
