that's SO Melbourne.

Gutsy effort from the Swans, and yet another heart-breaking knee injury to Alex Johnson.

Won't matter for the Swans. They won't beat the Giants or the Hawks in the final 2 rounds.

And shirley that's it for Johnson?

Great win for my mob. Just hideous for AJ. If he pulls the pin will end up a great coach. For bloody umpteen years he has supervised rehab for others while doing his own hard yakka. He's a gun player but more importantly a gun person.

Congrats to the Tiggers on securing the minor Premiership. Congrats to the Filth on winning their fifth spoon this century.

top 4 bay-bee!

well done Dawks .. no excuses for my mob.

Buddy and Parker would have helped.

Sure but we had 22 out there and were pantsing them, then went Negative Nev.

Melbourne hitting the Tarax too hard after confirming their finals place ladt week, is now unbeatable for the 2018 Bomber Thompson Ham Roll award.

not sure why we have to play on the Thursday

Good first round. Can see us fronting up to either Siddey or Giants in semi.

Did you make the trip across to Perth for the Freo game?

There were a lot of Pies supporters there ....and a lot seemed to be visitors

Nath if that's official I think the ABC crew might have got the sched completely upside-down

Christ they're not doing this crap weekend off before the finals are they? And why are they playing the potential blockbuster on the Thursday? I know Melbournians don't have much else to do but watch sport but that game surely belongs on the weekend.

No, I didn't. I have watched cricket in the west, but not footy.

Many people are not happy that the blockbuster is on a night before school.

yes, stoopid bye week.
b/c they're idiots and Sunday doesn't exist for finals anymore.

Ticketek having a clusterf*ck trying to sell tickets to the Tigers final

How surprising

Floods of complaints. This is as predictable as night following day. They might as well just re-run the script every year. Perhaps they go back to the good old days of people queueing for tickets.

Yeah and get your kids to give up their devices. I'm still struggling with the scheduling. Crazy.

Classic shambolic debacle. Prince Gill would be better off fixing Ticketek than arranging visa extensions for au pairs with Constable Spudhead.

Silly season has commenced with mass delistings. Mitch McGovern looks like being traded to Carlton.

Meanwhile Varcoe's finals are in doubt because his sister has been critically injured playing footy in SA.

Jesus that's irritating. They had one job - sell tickets - FFS!!!!

And they somehow fark that up.

It's almost as bad - some would say worse - than the clusterfark that was the online Census data entry of 2 years ago.
