Dees!
Me neighbor nearly went home when the Hawks got within 2 goals in the 4th. But they got there.
West Coast next week to keep the dream alive

I enjoy Melbournes style, they just seem hungry and into everything. Fuck the midfielders must be fit. How was that crowd too. See the stats for the crowd at the MCG vs the Panthers Cronulla game. AFL just seems to get good crowds. It is a fun game to watch live as there are often lots of goals to celebrate etc.

Taking off my tigers hat, It’s fair to say like Richmond last year and the dogs the year before, they have that similar momentum , once you have that self belief, it can be a powerful thing . They are a genuine chance now .
Putting my tigers hat back on , hoping the pies and the giants have an energy sapping game tonight and run each other off their feet .

Good to see the Demons get through last night, hope they make the final Saturday now and are a chance to beat what looks like a tiring eagles team next weekend, having done it a few weeks ago at the same venue (although not with the intensity and atmosphere of what is finals footy). Thought the dees were going to lose it after a couple of soft frees awarded against them late in the game but they held their composure and kicked a few late goals.

Alot of people are looking at that game as a guide , something that is getting overlooked a little ,
West Coast had no Kennedy, and Darling was knocked out in the first ten minutes , like any side that loses its two main targets up forward , becomes significantly weaker ,they have kicked about 80 goals between them this year.

Welcome aboard.
I think the Eagles will get a couple of players back, but momentum is a strange thing when it comes to finals.
Walking around Melbs this afternoon, rubbish weather, but plenty of black n white around (not AB jerseys).
Would looooooove the Giants to knock off the Pies.

I'm in a bar in Hua Hin, eye movement range of ago and wallabies, my team's are both holding slender leads, 3 mins to go each and a week to think about the ALL Blacks,
And I think,
FUCK SPORT IS GREAT EH !!!!
yes, I'm blind
firstly, post of the year
How big is Friday night going to be in Melbourne?! Ticketek is crashing today for sure!! you could sell them MCG out twice for this i reckon.
Fuck a Dees v Pies GF would make me laugh, but hard to see it not being the top 2 seeds.

Pretty much no public sale for Friday's game, the members snapped them all up. AFL crowds really are amazing

I read an extra 300,000 in attendance this season.
Extra.

@antipodean understandable with 4 big Melbourne teams all being good, and a new big stadium in the West.

big news doing the rounds in melbourne , Dusty has not trained since the Hawks game ,
if he doesnt play , that would be an enormous boost for Collingwood .

I hate Dusty.
But I hate Collingwood more.
Get well soon!

looks like Darling and Kennedy are fully fit so going to be a hard job for the Dees to contain those two and be wary of all the other small forwards roaming around, head says the Eagles, Heart says the Dees, should be a cracker

I love AFL fans, they are so engaged with their teams. There is no apathy like the rugby codes. They get 90k to certain home and away games, let alone the massive crowd for tomorrow's finals.
I've just had a squiz at the Big Footy forum, and the game thread for Richmond v Collingwood is already 52 pages, and 90% of that is just them calling each other flogs, and outlining why their team is shit. Passionate.
Even the West Coast v Melbourne thread is over 30 pages. Most of it Eagles fans whinging about not getting love from the AFL media.
They back their clubs to the hilt, very little in the way of reasoned analysis, or balance. It's fucking great
