AFL 2025 Second Preliminary Final - Cats v Hawks Fri Sept 19th 7:40pm EST (MCG)

[PhatBoy]

Not for a second am I comparing him to them as being on their level but in terms of being just unstoppable when he wants the ball Ablett Sr and Carey are the only players I’ve seen in Dangerfield’s league

 

[Stottzy]

Nope, Tonight convinced me we need Trac more. Much more. He's the only bloke really that's close to what Danger provides.

Just get both

 

[RAPPA]

Martin the luckiest bloke in footy; got cut by the Blues, now in a GF

Cats have managed his body well. He can’t play a full season and they have the caliber and list depth to afford him to be in once until the second third of the year.

 

[janty]

Complete shocker.

Some of the most consistently poor disposal I've seen from a player across a full game.

Said much earlier in the thread that the more disposals he has the more it really shows how poor he is a player. At least he had a dig unlike his little diving mate.

 

[demondavey]

Amazed the Hawks have played him in defence. Could not think of a less defensive player in the league… now that Stephenson has retired

He might be back! He has been cold calling clubs!

 

[PhatBoy]

It’s taken 3 years but all Tiger fans comforted by the fact that Stewart will miss a GF under concussion protocols. Kharma’s a bitch hey Tom.

It’s spelled Karma. Way to show Tiger intelligence. He served his suspension. Not sure missing a grand final and potential premiership is ‘karma’ for an act four years ago that happened and was dealt with but keep holding onto it like a baby with a rattle mate.

He was unstoppable and don't take this the wrong way but he got alot of love from the umps and got some frees that really weren't there but I think because of all the chaos he causes I get it.

LOL the most ridiculous comparison I’ve ever seen.

 

[Delisted]

Credit where it’s due. Well done cats.

 

[SA HAWK]

Stewart is probably the only cats player I enjoy watching, so sad he’s out next week

Maybe the AFL will see now why the bye should be before the gf.

Instead of waiting for a player to miss with concussion they should have change the rule before it happened.

 

[Black Saab]

Just stop bleeding on a gameday thread, embarrassing...

Ooohhhhh. You've spoken.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Really amateur coaching from Mitchell to play the The Wizard in defence and not move Sicily forward until the game was over.
Hawthorn took one contested mark in the forward line for the whole game and they played forwards Weddle and Chol in the ruck for most of the game.
Sam Mitchell choked and embarrased himself tonight.

 

[kozi]

When are they announcing the new pre grand final bye so Stewart can play?

Nah we were just outplayed.

Agreed.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Not many likeable players in this Geelong side.

A wretched hive of scum and villainy

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Stewart can't play no matter how much money they have for lawyers and Dion Preatia agrees.

 

[Black Saab]

When are they announcing the new pre grand final bye so Stewart can play?

Right after they announce Norm Smith medals can also be awarded in Prelim finals.

 

[SA HAWK]

That was some ridiculous game by Dangerfield.

As good as any finals game i have seen.

 

[HairyO]

Nope, Tonight convinced me we need Trac more. Much more. He's the only bloke really that's close to what Danger provides.

Yep. We need someone who can tackle, break tackles, and get the ball. Newk cant do it on his own.

Petracca over Merrett for mine. If he passes his physical.

 

[HairyO]

That was some ridiculous game by Dangerfield.

As good as any finals game i have seen.

Missed Petracca's grand final ???

 

[Madas]

Complete shocker.

Nobody fills their dacks more than Ginnipig when the heat is on

here come the Richmond supporters and their injury trolling

 

[brutus76]

NFL allow 2 weeks between the AFC and NFC championship game and the Superbowl to ensure both teams have enough time to get all available players the chance to play

AFL surely follows suit for 2026 onwards

Maybe if you play 10 games in the year or play a final for winning premiership team you should be acknowlegded with medal or something
