Disappointed in him? What’s with the chip on your shoulder? Did he run over your cat? Celebrate him mate, he is a solid AFL citizen… just like James Harmes.

ha. nah mate. I guess it comes from Watts copping so much schtick being a number 1 draft pick and this bloke with an AFL ready body does [censored] all for years and cops little scrutiny. Not that I want him too, i’d just like some fairness

Fair enough, I’ve got a enough Brisbane supporting mates to know he has copped stick for years for not delivering on the fact that someone else chose him at a particular draft pick outside of his control…

One of the great PF you'll ever see. Well done Lions, please smash the Swans!

Didn’t Swans lose to the Dogs to be the first to lose a GF to a 5-8 team?  Maybe again?

Hey, the oracle that is @Demonland

Has a team ever got to a GF after being 0-5?

Cats must have been close to that in 2007 (or whenever they broke their drought)

So which former players from each team will be chosen to present the cup next week?

Just to rub tonight in maybe Chris or even Brad Scott to present the cup if the Lions win. 🤗

Brisbane is the Fourth team in VFL/AFL history to start 0-3 and make the Grand final

Carlton (1945)

North Melbourne (1976)

North Melbourne (1977)

Brisbane Lions (2024)

Yet people think Goodwin is the messiah, and Petty is Royce Hart. And yes I know its not his fault but plenty on this site still have him playing forward in 2025! Park me!

If we go with what we have had in the forward line for the past 2 years with the salary cap space available, then we are seriously f'n deluded.

And North Melbourne lost their first 4 games in 1975 and then won their first flag that same year

Has there been a team with a worse start win the flag?

And how about the team that lost their last 9 home & away games but still went on to win the premiership!!  

These were the correct results. In a season where the ladder could have ended any which way, we really did end up with some teams that shouldn't have been there.

I think that Geelong were the weakest team in the top 4, not bad but not the side from 2 years ago. Started the season very well with 7 wins, went on a 4 game losing streak and for the rest of the season went on to post grand wins over Richmond, Essendon, North, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Freo, West Coast. The Freo win was impressive but at the end of the day Hawthorn were the only top 8 side there.

I don't think Port were far behind either and I was so sick of people giving them kudos. The moment they finished 2nd I just knew it was massively inflated. They were not the 2nd best team, great midfield and not much else.

All you losers celebrating Brisbane's win; have you forgotten they embarrassed us repeatedly over the last few years! Wake you [censored]!!

Swans not much better. We lost 17 of the past 23 games against them including the 2022 QF and only 5 wins plus one draw.

Yeah they beat us a few times

The Cats did a lot worse and have been in finals for 20 years

Very good game of footy. I wanted Geelong to win as the lesser of two evils.
 

I also looked forward to seeing how Dangerfield’s tackle was assessed. The exact type of tackle that people have got weeks for this year and what the AFL want ruled out.

Any excuses? Like the bug they were carrying against us in 2021?

Yes there were plenty of excuses “um, you probably saw all the masks and stuff, which was probably a bit of a giveaway, we had a couple of guys with Covid, off field people, we had…Max had a bit of gastro, there was a little bit of that, but again, please don’t report that as an insurmountable issue for us this week, it was just one of those things that everyone has to manage at some stage…”!!

Mc Luggage milked it!

Watching the swans,lions, cats  highlighted the holes we have in our list and how those teams have managed to improve who have all played in GFs vs our list mgt since winning the flag! 

Edited by Demonsone

Every time I see Holmes play I rue the Cats for gazumping us with a last minute pick swap to draft him.

What a sliding doors moment that was:  we could have Holmes and Bowey.

Holmes will probably be their next captain.😭

You can stop flogging.  The horse is well and truly dead.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
