I sit 11 rows back in the forward pocket at the city end. With a full stadium, the sound of the ball hitting JT’s hands when he took that pack mark late in the 3rd was LOUD and AWESOME. I’ve never heard a sound quite like it and I’ve been going to the footy for over 50 years.

Can anyone remember if during the member presale for the finals series, could you select seats on the map? or was it the pre-generated groupings?
Also, can you upgrade jnr codes to adults? Can't see the info in the old emails and can't remember the set up.

Who thinks pav (who's always been a clean skin)is regretting taking the job at Sydney?

I was vehemently against it when Mason was in collingwood. I still see it as a scum bag move. What do you guys think?

How great has it been to see the old photos of our Captain from 2015?

Also, how lucky we are to have this captain. Absolute driver of high standards and culture. Genuinely practices what he preaches, genuinely good human being growing and supporting other young men.

True leader and a huge part of where we are today. As a father of two boys and someone that has worked with a lot of young men...seeing such a great positive force, who balances a fierce competitive nature, with passion and generosity for the world.

An absolutely essential tonic for some of the things we hear out there.

If freo ever pulled it off and won a premiership, what would it mean to you? What’s your story?

The Home and Away season draws to a close with the minor premiership already sewn up.

Some questions:

• The outcome of this game cannot change our position, and can only very mildly change Carlton's wildcard—are we going to playing bruise-free footy, or do we need to keep grinding out improvement?
• Do you want to see anyone rested? (And how many rests can we get away with before there's strife from AFL house?)
• How did you evaluate our very tall defensive structure? Can we play the same set-up against a medium-heavy Carlton?

Can we all just agree that we should have the original song as our actual song? I’m sick of the Charlie Harper sounding jingle that the modernised one is. Definitely had a more imperious and tension building vibe (which we’ve outwardly started we have been trying to create with hells bells playing before the team song).

First off, I’m going to assume that Hawthorn will beat the Eagles and Geelong will beat Richmond in all scenarios. The other 3 games are potentially up for grabs.

If Brisbane and Hawthorn both win, we’ll play Hawthorn, unless they flog the Eagles and pull past Brisbane on percentage, in which case we’ll play Brisbane. In this scenario, the others don’t matter due to percentage or points.

If Brisbane lose to Collingwood, and Hawthorn and Melbourne win, we’ll play Melbourne.

If both Brisbane and Melbourne lose and Geelong win, we’ll play Geelong.

For us to play Adelaide, both Geelong and Hawthorn would have to lose (which I said at the top they wouldn’t) as well as Melbourne. They’re very unlikely to catch Brisbane on percentage even if Brisbane loses - unless both games were a big blow out. So it’s technically possible but highly unlikely that we could play Adelaide.

For what it’s worth, I think Brisbane will drop to 4th on percentage and we’ll play them.

Of course, if Hawthorn or Geelong do actually lose, that complicates things, although it would generally result in us playing Melbourne.

Have been wondering whether it is worth resting players this week. Saw Alex Pearce say he is ready and able to play against the Blues but he did not look close to 100% against the Crows from what I saw at the game. Same with Brennan Cox, doesn't seem to be moving as well as he was during the early-mid stages of the year.

Should we give Hugh Davies a go?

Want to hear thoughts

The pass mark for this year was top 4 and the double chance. We blew that out of the water.

IMO the improvement came out of team connection, better functioning forward line, a step up from Johnson and a big step up in connection from Shai.

Nicholls kicked 4 on the weekend and seems to be building.

What are your thoughts? What have you seen as the big improvement in ‘26 and where do you see further improvement coming from?

Hi folks- I'll be trying to get tickets for as many of the home finals games as possible, and was wondering if anyone had any tips for doing so. Last year it wasn't too tough but I think GC being a small team and freo being much bigger this year might make it harder.

I'm not actually a member myself (I share tickets with a group but defer to them for finals), but was wondering if it's a good idea to get a membership (e.g a small one that gives any kind of priority) just for these tickets? Or have I left it too late and should just try and get public ones like last year? Thanks!
