2021 wasn’t a patch on 2018 for the majority of MFC supporters that got to experience the Geelong and Hawthorn MCG finals in 2018.

Back to back 90,000 MCG finals wins > watching finals in lock down.

Wasn't there at either, but sat through loosing GFs in 88 and 2000.  Just give me that premiership at the G and I'd be complete in a footy sense.

    I thought Tom Atkinson was sensational and if not for Danger would have been BOG.

    Besides, any team would be this great with Geelong’s manipulated, magical, mysterious salary cap goings-on.

    Dangerfield - WOW.

    Petracca, model your game on Danger and how he attacks the ball , Trac is capable if he wants to…..

    So that’s what Tracc’s problem has been all along.

    I’m focusing on the positives

    Great to see the hawks lose and their smug fans streaming out of the G in the last quarter.

    I never realized Holmes is 190 cms.

    Looks much shorter on the ground.

    Such a pity Cats got that traded pick ahead of us.

    Do you know what the expression ‘Sour grapes’ means? I don’t see how it applies here.

    Nah, I think your maths are a bit out their old Dub. Flags in 2009, 2011 & 2022 - that's three flags in 14 years and if you go back one further to 2007 it's four in 15 years.

    I'd definitely take that.

    ...the 20 odd years prior to 2007 might have been pretty heart breaking though, but we know all about that.

    In the past 14 yrs the Dees have played in 2 prelims , 2 straight sets exits & 1 flag

    Coaches x 4 onto our 5th

    More disappointing?

    A silver lining is King will have great insights of winning, culture etc

    He'll get a reality check when he comes to us. He'll go from dangerfield, Cameron & blicavs to sparrow, Sharpe & van rooyen.

    I'm so jealous this isn't us playing tonight. I'd kill to watch us win finals at the g. 2018 feels like a life time ago now.

    2018 was the best time I've had at the footy. We were the most attacking team in the league and winning those finals with 90,000+ at the G was such a great experience.

    I'll always be thankful for 2021, but it wasn't the same.

    The lead up to the finals series in 2018 was unreal as well. We beat West Coast at their home ground in Round 22 after an entire week of worrying that we were on track to wasting another season.

    And our performance against GWS the following week was honestly my favourite home and away game I've ever attended. That entire game almost like a public celebration rather than an actual football game. We'd already confirmed a finals spot the week before and we played as if we basically had nothing to lose. Fast, aggressive, free flowing, attacking footy. I don't think I've ever felt as relaxed at a game as I was that day.

    That shocking preliminary final aside, the last month of 2018 was fever dream stuff. We couldn't have picked two better teams than Geelong and Hawthorn to knock off in the finals given the years of torture they used to inflict on us.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
