I’m glad we took our chance when we had it because flags are bloody hard to win.

100%

Our previous 2 GF’s we were never in them. At least we went all the way when we had our time at the top (however brief it was).

We dominated 2021 and when the going got tough, we were brave enough to get going.

Swans seemingly satisfied with just making a GF.

    Grundy the leading disposals.

    That's a worry.

    This game was here for the Swans taking

    This isn't 22 for them.

    They have dominated all year but they have given this away.

    Their lack of pressure that second quarter was a disgrace

    Just didn't turn up for 30 mins.

    This will scar them for a long time.

    And rightly so. 

    Was going for the Swans but after that...they don't deserve any support.

    Losers.

    Lions will win by 100.

    Grundy being exposed. One trick pony (blocking opposition ruckman at centre bounce). Time for him to grow a pair, jump and tap the ball to the advantage of Sydney's gun midfielders. Grundy's centre bounce tactic playing right into Brisbane's hands.

    Grundy has been so disappointing

    Although he is doing a lot of ground work and follow up, in his main role he is being beaten by Fort.

    OK around the ground. Liability at centre bounces. There will be no bang, bang, bang if he keeps just blocking the opposition ruckman!

    Just saying that Swans have so many others to blame before him.

    Exactly, getting his taps but completely exposed by Fort.

    Has butchered it constantly as well

    Dominated is a bit of a furphy. They took their chances. Let’s not forget they got thumped by 100+ points just over a month ago.

    Worse.

    On the form all year they were favorites for most.

    Weakest effort from so many of them.

    Can't see them shaking this off for a long time.

    Forget the colliwobbles.

    Yes and no. He was brought in to give them the difference in games like this. It's not happening and he's not performaning at the level you would pay a million bucks for on the big stage.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
