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.

Tough call

I can’t decide whether to cash out my Lions bet. Got on them when they were 26-1 and the cash out is tidy but only 40%. Tempted to ride it out. Lions are on some run. Feels like it might be their year

 

Will it ever change.....

Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions fans are facing Melbourne airfares at more than twice the normal rates, forcing some to contemplate driving as cheaper places on trains fill up ahead of the first all-interstate final since 2006.

As of 1pm AEST on Monday, flights leaving either city on Friday and returning on the Sunday of the grand final weekend were around double the cost of the same trips the following week for each of the three main carriers.

Excluding flights on its low-cost carrier Jetstar, the starting price for a round-trip from Sydney with Qantas was $1016, compared with $499 the following weekend. Virgin return flights from Sydney were cheaper, at $684, but flights from Brisbane started at $1360, more than double what they were the week after.

On the Jetstar route to Brisbane, return flights started at an eye-watering $1807, more than three times the amount for flights the next week. Non-stop Jetstar flights are now also unavailable for returning to Brisbane on Sunday, 29th September.

No and if you think it will you're kidding yourself.

 

Showing the age a little but it feels very similar to Peter Everitt's injury before the 97 grand final.

Who's he going to king hit on the way to the dais?

 

Firstly Leigh Matthews was chosen last year, surely there could had been another choice,.

Mills being ruled out makes sense. Sydney would have learnt from playing sam reid injured 2 years ago.

I'll feel bad for either coach that loses. Longmire has the 1 flag for 4 gf appearances & his team have been the best this season. He needs to win another one for his legacy.

Fagan losing 2 in a row would be gut wrenching.

I wouldn't feel too bad @dees189227. The losing coach will still feel better than sixteen other coaches whose teams failed in 2024.

Very wise and true.

But gee, that pain and hurt of losing a grand final is like no other. I know others feel different and would be happy just to make the grand final but as a fan, that experience of climbing the mountain and having so much go right only for it to fail at the last hurdle. It's a bit much.

But watching Zorko cry two years in a row would make the pain go away for me 😂

I was fortunate enough to travel from Tassie to WA - they had to put on extra flights. Got in early - the week before as I was confident they would make the big one. Then the prices skyrocketed.

At least it won't be Steven Smith like in the mid 80's at Princes Park - most cowardly act I've ever seen at that level.

Smith was leading all awards at the time and Matthews just came up from behind and punched him. Smith was never the same as a player after that.

Some of the stuff that went on in those days makes you cringe

Nearly every team had their thugs and thug acts happened in numerous games.  Often unpunished as 'video' evidence was not allowed to be called upon until years later

e.g. Balme king hitting 3 Carlton players in the '73 GF might carry a lifelong ban these days

Just crossing the line to play back then took a special type of courage.  Yet players such as Robbie Flower managed to not get king hit.  That was a skill in itself back then!!

I believe the last all interstate grand final was actually in 2021. Remember it fondly.

The Afl can rack off with their 5 million payment to perry.

What a joke.

Could have paid local artists and saved the environment from her jetting in with her lack of talent.

Bunch of absolute nuffies.

Does some ceos daughter love Perry's garbage.

Mutton dressed up as lamb.

You shouldn't sign the contract unless they include the tomato sauce, @hardtack.

That's why you involve lawyers in contract negotiations - they don't miss the small stuff

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
