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

It'll eventually be back-ended anyway.

Which is preferable to front-ended...

 

I bet they paid more for Robbie a few years ago.

I think Katy will be good, she has some good tunes. Noy sure about Tina Arena coming out to sing chains with her though. Doesn't really rock the G.

But I did laugh when Katy said there are 10 melbourne teams, can't believe one of them didn't make it. It is a fair point.

Whilst strolling down memory lane, Wikipedia's summary of the 1945 Bloodbath GF is interesting reading

Wiki 1945 VFL GF

Carlton vs South

What was interesting was the aftermath and the mooted rule changes including reducing the amount of players on the ground and possibly reverting back to no boundary throw-ins (that little known rule was in operation from 1926 - 1939)

Even back then they wanted a more open free-flowing game

back-ended sauce is better??!

*No judgement

Tina should do great.

They don't call her Miss Arena for nothing

If the Swans lose it’ll be one flag from FIVE Grand Finals 

No pressure guys

If the Lions get excellent production out of Hipwood & Daniher, they'll win.  They can win without them firing but they'll be doing it the hard way instead

Taking the heat in the hotspot area of the forward line as well as gaining possessions, playing in front, bringing the ball to ground front & centre and putting their bodies on the line etc etc

But most of all, hitting the scoreboard

Do all that with the other forwards chipping in and they'll be hard to beat

Talented key forwards who produce the goods are worth their weight in gold in September

Something we were sadly lacking in the finals series in 2023.  And it cost us

We had no one doing all that in the Carlton SF and only JVR in the QF (and therefore, by default, too much was placed on the shoulders of a player in his 20th game)

Hipwood & Daniher are seasoned campaigners and that makes all the difference

Our entrant in the Grand Final sprint is ... Oliver Sestan.

I imagine you'd get reasonable odds on him winning.  Gamble responsibly.

And if Brisbane lose, being the runner up 2 years running would be hard to come back from

I can see this being a real do or die desperate hard fought grand final. No blow out this time.

I'm tipping a blowout.

Swans by 40+ !

I am finding this granny to be one of the hardest to pick a winner.

Time for Paul the psychic Octopus

Late team changes:

Honorary bench - well, couch - positions for Bob 'Chimp' Skilton and Kevin 'Bulldog' Murray.

Neither up to attending. I hope the game is gentle to them.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
