    Opinion Question for Victorians - Does it bother you not having a Vic team in the GF?

    Great logic. On Saturday night the state government says, “cancel your plans everyone, Geelong lost” 🙄

    AFL Grand Final AFL 2024 GRAND FINAL: 2024 Premiers BRISBANE LIONS

    Yes, it’d be riveting to see another instalment of this storied rivalry.

    Opinion Question for Victorians - Does it bother you not having a Vic team in the GF?

    It’s fantastic. To argue otherwise is to completely misunderstand Victorian football culture.

    I had a shot each time you wrote Harris Andrews. Now I’m feeling a lot better.

    AFL Grand Final AFL 2024 GRAND FINAL: 2024 Premiers BRISBANE LIONS

    Have to assume any Victorian on here bemoaning the fact that there’s no local team in it must be over 70 years old. This is an ideal outcome for 99.9% of us.

    Game Day Around The Grounds - Week 2 - Semi Finals 1 & 2 - 2024

    Up until the early 80s, yes, but the crowds at GFs now outstrip every attendance from then onwards. No 100,000 crowd in the 90s (the gap was from 86-08).

    Game Day Around The Grounds - Week 2 - Semi Finals 1 & 2 - 2024

    Every GF sells out. The MCG was under reconstruction, hence the reduced capacity.

    Opinion Did Hawthorn just expose a mental fragility?

    Did I say you should be content? I get the frustration. My club’s supporters have similar issues reconciling expectations and reality. Port is just a mediocre club now. It’s not all Ken’s fault.

    Opinion Did Hawthorn just expose a mental fragility?

    This isn’t the SANFL. You aren’t some super shit hot club anymore. Getting to the last four is extremely hard.

    Opinion Did Hawthorn just expose a mental fragility?

    If Port went back-to-back you guys would blame Ken for winning the first one before he won the second one.

    Opinion Did Hawthorn just expose a mental fragility?

    In both instances the perpetrator was acting like a dickhead.

    Game Day Around The Grounds - Week 2 - Semi Finals 1 & 2 - 2024

    It was an inadvertent slice of genius. All the focus and pressure will be off the players heading into the prelim. I get the feeling that they’ll run Sydney very close next week.

    I was hoping Hawthorn would lose, but the fallout from this has saved the finals series for me. Great stuff.

    Banter Carlton is better in 2024. Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

    I live in a world of disappointment following this club. It’d be a pretty grim banter thread without, you know, banter.

    Banter Carlton is better in 2024. Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

    Nearly as bad as Collingwood’s finals effort at the same venue in 2020.

    Coach Michael Voss

    The reason we always seem light years behind the better teams is because the good coaches innovate. They have a clear plan and pick players to suit that system. We have no system. Selection. Listen to Chris Scott this week regarding bringing in injured players. Polar opposite to our approach...

    Autopsy 2024 Elimination Final Blues blown away in first half. Never looked likely.

    Obviously plucking out a name or two in a flogging doesn’t seem significant. Our last two games saw us play a refreshed team willing to dig in for four quarters. The changes we made can have a deflating impact on the group. Last night we went back to unfit ‘name’ players and got the same old...

    Autopsy 2024 Elimination Final Blues blown away in first half. Never looked likely.

    Bringing in underdone players clearly played a role in our inability to apply pressure from the outset. It’s not the first time we’ve made this mistake. ‘Contest and pressure’ is the most basic non-negotiable at professional level and doesn’t constitute a game style, and it’s not even as...

    Autopsy 2024 Elimination Final Blues blown away in first half. Never looked likely.

    The intent of the team is kind of related to the team that you select.

    Autopsy 2024 Elimination Final Blues blown away in first half. Never looked likely.

    Absolute waste of a season due to the incompetence of the off-field staff. Voss is a good figurehead but can’t coach for shit. Embarrassingly poor selections tonight and for much of the last three years. He would fall on his sword if he had the integrity.
