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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
