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 🙄

    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.

    Neale looking good for the Norm. If he kicks a goal it's done

    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.

    Omg do u think BT could get ANYTHING right in his commentary. 

    He is like the weather reporters who say the wrong thing but still has a job. Unbelievable.

    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…

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.
