The umpires would literally have to start kicking goals for St.Kilda for that to be a possibility in the near future.

The Dees backline vs the Dogs forwardline is where Melbourne kill them. If the dogs donât send it in low and scrappy then theyâre â â â â â â . But iâm sure they know this.
Naughton is a handful, if may isnât 100% he could be trouble for them. Schache will likely play defensively on lever as he did on aliir. Hibberd is a good match up for Hannan, not sure they have a good match up for Wightman Smith and Bont may also cause trouble as the rotate through

Why isnt the thread title âBatmania vs Footscrayâ if we are using original name.
Huge opportunity missed for this city, Melbourne is a kinda boring name.

For your ill-considered opinion, I invite you to fark off. I am happy about the value I added to the forum compared to your effort.
Learned to despise Blueblood Melbourne in their great run late 50âs. Saw their last GF win in 64. My uncle played with Norm Smith in the 40âs. May the Norm Smith curse roll on.
Go Doggies

Remember about 5 0r 6 years ago when the Demons were cellar dwelling rabble?
Shows how quickly almost any club can rebuild and win a final or two!!!

i donât understand why people would be so obtuse to thinking this is not just a possibility but a probably likely outcome ?
do you believe the AFL is corrupt ? or corrupt inviduals rotate through spots of importance ? andrew demetriou waves and says hi
do you remember the treatment of our club during the saga ?
This is what i donât understand, people will happily say the sport is corrupt in general, but then scoff at the idea that they would manufacture certain results.
results which in a struggling environment (covid) looks good on paper and potentially looks good from a optics/pr spin POV that you can sell hope to every clubs supporters that this could be you, hence you donât want to miss out next year on membership to your club.
if thatâs so hard to buy, maybe personal gain to like gil for creating the above situation would be more believable ?
ok his salary and salary increase is based on the game increasing in value and market share right ?
What looks better for money coming in from 18 clubs, richmond winning their 3rd flag ? geelong winning it after years of prelims ? or 2 clubs who have had limited success in 50 odd years ?
sport is a business now, the afl is heading the way of the WWE, what looks good in a âstoryâ rather than survival of the fittest.

I simply have less faith in humans being decent,

This game already has the story at least to be the greatest gf of the modern era. They are as it ends up and probably statistically the best 2 teams, and their stories of adversity are equal. I think the diga deserve the underdog tag as they have had to do more quarantine. Should be a memorable grand final either way and whoever wins. Juat glad it isnât Richmond or Geelong or Port / Sydney. And itâs also great that a WA side isnât playing.
Two teams without home ground advantage and Iâm sure the Perth public will really make this one special
ITS THE GRAND FINAL RICHO
I DONâT SEE THE TIGERS DARCE
THEY DIDNâT MAKE THE FINALS RICHO
THE TIGER ARMY WONâT LIKE THIS ONE BIT DARCE

You must be a very sad person.
My father thought me that you should trust everyone until they have screwed you over and even then you give them at least two chances. He said that if you start from the premise that you trust no-one, until they earn your trust, then life will lonely and miserable.
Nearly all Humans are decent, it is just we hear about the carnts !!
And if you think AFL is corrupt and games are fixed then why bother watching; you may as well watch WWF.

Apart from Kollingwood, FarkCarlton, Hawthorn, Richmond, West Coke, Port, Sydney, Chris Scott coached Geelong, St Kilda, Adelaide, Freo, Fitzroy ( sorry Brisbane), the AFLâs love child Gold Coast, GWS, the ski season MCG Melbourne, and, I almost forgot them, Norf.

habit, itâs the only thing. itâs been probably the biggest part of my life for so long, and now i just do it out of habit.
the biggest irony is iâve learnt that in a period were you literally arenât allowed to go out and do anything else, so thereâs no escaping it yet.
Go for a long walk in the rain. It always helps me.

Just for others here. For someone to be called corrupt by shelts they need to be worse than Pell.
Why is there a bye before the GF?
So Steven May can play
