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.

    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!

    Has he had a hitout to advantage yet? 

    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
