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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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…

    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)

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes 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.
