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

that's a lot of finals 

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.

Haha Is this the reason he wasn’t delisted?

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.

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

  • PREGAME: Geelong

    After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
