    Each side should have their own GF parade. One down Clarendon St and the other down Brunswick St, meeting in the city centre.

    Can’t see Sydney losing this. They will be so much fresher than Brisbane who have just come off two hard emotionally draining finals. Plus McInerney out gives Grundy a huge bonus. And how great will it be to see Zorko having a blubber post game, maybe Petts could give him a call

    I was dreading a Syd v Gee granny… legitimately wouldn’t have cared about the result between those two and was questioning if I even really wanted to waste an afternoon watching that game. 

    At least with Brisbane there’s a chance of a team that hasn’t won it for 20 years to win it and be redeemed from last years loss.

    Sydney as a club just bore me to tears. I don’t hate them, they’re just so, meh

    I am just glad Geelong are not playing.

    I’m new here after perusing for 18 years, but I gotta be honest... Couldn’t believe the amount of support for the smug pr!cks that is Brisbane. I detest Geelong, but at least if they make the GF, the likes of Dangerfield have already won one, so it lessens the disdain. 
     

    Hopefully Sydney wins and keep the likes of Zorko, Hipwood, Andrews, McCluggage, Answerth and Neale premiership-less. Far too many unlikeable players in spite of apart of me would be happy for Fagan.

    Stupid Hypothetical: we don't pick up Fullarton. Does he get a run in the GF for Brissy?

    (Not to mention our list management impact on Sydney's ruck stocks)

    I really hope for Fullarton’s sake that he would have been behind Forte and Smith in the ruck depth if he were still at Brisbane this year.

    Otherwise, it would have been a yes to your good question. He’s probably pondering the question as well.

    I think they would sooner run Daniher in the ruck than that scenario.

    Well it really is just that. Just a change of location. I know a lot of old Fitzroy supporters who have continued to support the Lions ever since they went to Brisbane.Just think, if Melbourne went interstate would you stop barracking for them? I certainly wouldn't.

    My band is playing in Canberra on the afternoon of GF Saturday from 3pm, so I’m going to miss watching it.

    The challenge for us is to avoid any contact with people who might be following it during our performance, so that we can all watch it later on in the evening (our pedal steel player lives close by in Sutton and has Kayo), as if it hadn’t already happened.

    Fortunately the venue, Smith’s Alternative, has no TV screens on the premises.

    It absolutely is not

    While Souths moved to Sydney, Brisbane absorbed the bones of the Lions into the Bears - they have NOTHING to do with Fitzroy

    It was a complete corporate takeover, not a merger

    I backed the swans to win the flag  after their 112 point thumping by Port.

    My only stress about the GF is whether to lay off and back the lions- and still make a healthy profit if they win.

    The Brownlow has become a bloated borefest and is best avoided, but I'm looking forward to the GF and hope it doesn't turn out to be a one-sided affair.

    It's my first year as a MCC Full member, was not a part of the GF ballot.

    Any idea what time someone would need to rock up to get a seat for a Sydney v Brisbane final?

    It will be more entertaining and stimulating reading the Demonland Brownlow thread tomorrow morning instead of watching the presentation on live TV.

    Good luck hardtack, the sport result blackout exercise is harder than ever to pull off these days.

    Chances of JJ being the sub?

    I think him getting a played role in a premiership is my sole interest in this game.

    My interest otherwise was fulfilled with the exit of Geelong.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
