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

Yep & for the first time in years I'm not bothered who wins.

But it's going to be close I hope. 

As I've stated before, whichever coach loses I'll feel for. For fagan to lose 2 in a row will be so shattering for him. 

 

How goods the weather though? 

And thank goodness we'll have a new premiership winner tomorrow so I know longer have to hear Collingwood are reigning premiers

Not surprised at this. I understand he lives in Byron Bay. Long commute to work

Wowsers. I’m currently in Kirra/Coolangatta and am amazed at the traffic and amount of time it takes to go from one end of the Gold Coast to the other, let alone from Byron to Brissie. Not sure of his family / partner situation but if you’re earning good coin and will do for only a few more years, suck it up and live closer by.

 

Want the Swannies to win, but am afraid the Lions will get up by a 4 goals-ish :-/


Happy grand final day!

Greatest day ever on the sporting calendar. 

Brisbane by 3 and Hugh McLugguge for the Normie.

Got in the queue at 6;40am,  Could have gotten here at 8:24 and got the seat next to me 😂

Grand final day just love it. Getting to the G it's my favourite day along with the boxing day test.

Weekend already off to a great start with the storm getting through to the NRL gf last night.

Hoping for a cracker of a game today

I always envy the supporters of the two grand final teams that get to experience the whole lot. As I get older the more I crave to experience this with my fellow demon family. Hopefully those who haven’t experienced any of it get to soon! I was only about 6 in 2000 so I don’t really remember too much(thank god)

 

Anyway, the weather is a beauty! Enjoy your day everyone!

Where is your seat (approx)? I was successful in the ballot, seat is Level 4 on the wing ... row W. There will be seats available to MCC restricted members. Update:  MCC FB page .... seats went onsale at 9.40 am!!

I think I'll stay in the bar (Percy Beames) while some singer is 'performing' (aka miming). FWIW there's a rumour that an Aussie will join that singer for a song ... tip is that it's tiny Tina Arena.

Grand Final day brings a special feeling with it. Better than Xmas say, Boxing Day, Cup day by a stretch.

Love seeing people around town in their colours, every big footy fan deserves a chance to experience this.

I've never been to one, was hoping to save it for when we made one again but am tempted to check the restricted members offering. 

Should be a hell of a game watch, I won't be barracking for anyone just enjoying it. If I absolutely have to tip then om saying Swans by 7 and Papley Norm.

Edited by layzie

Margin ticket says 27 so wanting that. Prefer Swans as Lions fans at the Gabba are mostly wankers. John Denver FFS.

Sydney by 28

McCluggage first goal (paying $41)

Some random no name like Melican to win the Norm Smith.

Daniher to kick the last goal of the game after going 0.4.


In the city now, just seeing everyone in there supporter gear makes me jealous, but then I think if it's Melbourne I'd be a nervous wreck.

Just read an article in JJ and how he grew up barracking for the swans & lived near the coach. Good on him if he could fulfil his dream today. At least he'll start on the ground

Soz, went to the gym, thought I’d be productive

second row level 3 in front of FGS

Expect a cracking game until the 3rd qtr then Swans to get on a run and end up winning by 50+

Phil Davis convinced me of this when talking about GWS in 2019 and how when the game gets a little bit away the winning side seem to go hell for leather with everyone trying to win a Norm Smith.

And the GWS run to the GF was eerily similar to Brisbanes…

Added last line

 

I wonder what the level of interest is in this game interstate. I suspect if you dig a little that it's not great.

Similarly the level of interest in Melbourne in the Storm is abysmal.

The GF really needs to go on the road occasionally. (One in every three years would be fine)

  • 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?
