Any reports on if he trained fully or how he was moving etc? I haven't been sleeping well since he hurt himself.

Big defensive games for Spargo and ANB will be critical. Dale and Daniel never waste a possession, they distribute the ball amazingly well and set up a lot of scoring chains. Can't let them waltz out of our backline with no pressure on their disposal.

These guys are the best football writers going around these days.

Does anyone have Burgo's number so I can call him for an update on May's hammy every day?

All this talk of darts has inspired me. Off to the shop I go.

$4!tt!ng bricks is an understatement over here. I feel like I'm playing in a prelim. Trying to find excuses not to go the pub right now and getting straight on the pints.

We rolled them in Perth late in the year and had serious momentum. That's why we were shortish. While we are on 2018, hopefully our boot selection is better this time around. I've never seen so many people slip over in such an important game.

Oliver should win it but won't IMO. Clarry isn't popular with the umps when compared to Bont. Or as popular with opposition players evidently, Wasn't even top 5 in the AFLPA MVP. What an absolute joke. Talk about a popularity contest.

I'm not sure I can emotionally recover from a loss to Geelong in a prelim. Please, Demons, just win tomorrow.

Didn't May win the coffee machine that night for his performance on Buddy

Last night made me nervous. Finals is different game! Hope we turn up.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a few expensive tickets floating around towards the end of the week, but when the bombers played the hawks in Launnie earlier in the year that also sold out virtually immediately and I didn't hear too much chatter about scalpers. We genuinely love our footy down here, and whenever there's a decent game it'll pack out. I just wish they'd lift the cap. 10,000 isn't enough.

I think both games will sell out in Launceston. Tasmanian supporters are starting to give the AFL the middle finger when rubbish roster matches are scheduled down here (see Saints vs Freo last weekend). But having a finals match down here, especially with Franklin and Green involved, I think you'll see a pretty decent turnout.

There was no chance we weren't going to be on that list.

Almost prefer to play Port than Brissie tbh.

Saw it confirmed on the Kardinia Park official twitter, no crowds allowed.

And I thought my MFCSS was bad!

Stoked with the win, but gee I wish we were better at set shot kicking, like others have said I really hope it doesn't cost us a finals win. The commentary from Eagles supporters on social media is crazy. They are crying vic bias, AFL agenda etc etc because of the umpiring. I wonder which game they were watching? Oh and Oliver's final centre clearance was a thing of beauty.

How's the weather looking over there?

I saw that. He tried everything to avoid it but in the end had no other choice.

Dermie is the worst. I don't mind Eddie as a presenter but not as a commentator. Daisy Pearce is right up there with the best. What a trailblazer. Imagine the relentless vitriol she would have copped on line from the mouth breathing AFL fans over the journey.

Salem's ability to get receive the ball under pressure, know what he wants to do before he gets it and execute a quick kick lace out to one of his teammates would have to be the best in the AFL I reckon. Bloke is a magician.

9 tackles for a small forward is outrageous. Kossie is back.

I had to re-stock on spakfilla last Saturday after an errant boot collected an errant water bottle and put a dent in an errant wall. Hoping I don't need to dig it out of the garage again tonight. For me the drop in pressure has been a bigger issue than our forward line. That same forward line seemed to be ok at the start of the year. Hopefully it is a bit of a lapse and will return in the run home, and not something more serious.

Apologies if it has already been said but I do feel for Collingwood having to play their grand final at the SCG this year.
