Why do the Afl do often get the entertainment wrong.

Why do we have cooked oseas acts?

We have lots of great entertainment here in Oz.

Not like the Superbowl are checking in here for performers.

    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.

    I'd be happier if it actually was South Melbourne v Fitzroy. 

    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.

    Won't be watching the Grand Final or Brownlow. Have got better things to do i.e. nothing.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
