Henderson, Rohan, Higgins, Selwood.

Adios

Dees are the first minor premier to make the GF since Adelaide in 2017

Personally, I'm hoping they become the first minor premier since Hawthorn 2013 (!) to win the GF

Congrats Melbourne! Well done!

Enjoy

I will never understand the general disposition of a majority of AFL fans.
In a competition rampant with teams who openly state in any given year that they’re not aiming to win, and in a competition that has had teams legitimately TRYING to lose in order to get the pick of the crop, it’s like it’s a sin to continually try and compete. Yeah it hasn’t won us a trophy. No one is more disappointed than me. But it’s almost like the suggestion is that we are a joke for even trying.

You aren't a joke for trying at all. I'm sure Carlton and Gold Coast would love to fail by making the finals each year.

It's the regularity in which you win 16, 17, 18, 19 games in the H&A season and then go to water in the finals that entertains people.

You almost beat (and should've beaten) Melbourne in August. You beat Port in Adelaide in June. Yet no one is surprised that both teams beat you comfortably in finals. It's bizarre.

Sadly most of the Dees fans aren't going to the Grand Final

Well done dees!! good luck in the big one!!

It's just occurred to me that I haven't noticed the commentary.

It's a pleasure. Like when the umpires do a good job.

Have only just turned the sound up. Didn't miss the commentators at all.

How nice of the umps to give the Cats some charity by ignoring a blatant hold on Lever to allow Cameron to kick the last goal of the game.

 

[Angak]

Blaming Geelong forwards is dumb and tells me you don't know much about football. It's hardly been there. Thier ageing midfield and how they move the ball is to blame.

 

[coastalpipeline]

It’s simply hilarious to witness once again how pathetic Geelong’s final efforts have been over the years.

A glorious tragedy of biblical proportions.

Mate that's a horrible thing to tell us.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Time for Geelong to get rid of Constable and Narkle and rebuild with some 28+ year olds. Go again Cats.

 

[beema limapep]

And, in fairness, I’ve been extremely gracious in defeat and appreciative Melbourne’s efforts and performance. Have never slighted the opponent in any way

Just neutrals left right and centre. You gracious human.

Who do they trade, delist or just cut?

Delist Henderson, Higgins, I don’t know what Rohan’s contract situation is but I’d be happy to lose him, I’d have a word to Selwood, there’s guys there that have played good footy this year but just for the sake of moving forward you’d probably get rid of. Blicavs has been a huge bonus for us but he’s not going to get any better and he is probably keeping a kid like de Koening out.

well done Melbourne that was just an incredible performance, good luck in a fortnight

 

[QuietB]

It’s really painful to lose like this, but I really appreciate this Melbourne team. They’ve gone about it the hard way over the years and they are not cutting any corners - enjoy watching them play

This Demons team will win 2 or 3 flags - very good and well balanced side still on the up.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

Thankyou Melbourne, from the fans of 17 other clubs.

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Brilliant Dees. Far too good and will definitely hoping you take it out this year. Well deserved

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Have this bag of dicks, cats

They need to do whatever it takes to get Caddy back...

Did he do the double cobra?

 

[maskmcgee]

Everyone headed to the Geelong board...

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Best final I've seen in ages. Free flowing.

no surprise, if Geelong doesnt get the ball, the game is good to watch

 

[coastalpipeline]

All of them …
