Looking like Ashcroft, Neale or Zorko for the Norm Smith. Hard to separate them actually. Ashcroft or Zorko for mine.

    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.

    I've never seen Grundy as a great player.

    He's a good ruckman with usually good tap work.

    His skills at ground level are above average.

    But as an intercept mark....terrible.

    A forward.....well...

    A defender, nothing outstanding.

    Swans have been grossly, woefully uncompetitive in 2 grand finals in 3 years. Whatever they’re doing in the lead-in week is just plainly the wrong thing. Otherwise, not sure how I’d feel if I was a Swans supporter.

    I reckon the Lions have had training sessions that were harder than this quarter.

    It's not about the I50s today, it's the quality of the I50s. 

    10 goals from turnover

    Yeah, no really obvious Norm Smith yet, Lohmann mattered early with his 3 goals, but nothing since so far.  Hate too ay it Neale has been super clean, maybe Ashcroft. 

    Maybe AhChee?

    But everyone would tell you that Longmire is 10 times the coach Goodwin is 🙄

    Who was the last AFL premiership coach who didn't play AFL/VFL?

    This is the first time according to ABC radio.

    Brisbane are really going to enjoy this final quarter 

    Don't forget Brisbane came 5th. They've done this outside the top 4

    On the post mortem, it's going to be hard to pinpoint what the heck happened.

    Swans were fine for the first but just didn't front up in the second.

    It's not like they were flat from the get go.

    Where did it all fall apart?

    Dennis Pagan I’m guessing, as BT just said will Dennis Pagan be the second coach to win a GF without playing a game of AFL whilst the cameras were on Chris Fagan. 

    only thing is Pagan played for North. Another BT pearler 🤪

    The question is: are Sydney a good team having a shocker in a granny AGAIN, with Horse being not much of a coach, or are they an average team who overperformed and are now getting found out? In the latter case, Horse is a very good coach.

    Something just so off kilter.

    As mentioned prior, I could understand if the lions had the jump from the get go.

    So is it over training in the previous few days?

    I thought the lions would be flat.

    But I was so wrong.

    Denis Pagan played for North Melbourne when it was the VFL. Edit - ooops, missed the tongue in cheek tone.

    No, pagan played 143 games for North and South Melbourne. That was a brain fade by BT referring to Fagan as Pagan…

    • 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.

      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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
