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)

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
