Review FINALS vs Fremantle @ Optus Stadium. Sat Sep 10. 7:35pm - AEST NO BARCODE REQUESTS

[philreich]

I'm so jealous and happy for all of you that are celebrating tonight. Wish I was there.

Always remember that no matter what happens from here on out, we've won more finals in the last 20 years than Essendon.

Outstanding comment . Well done to you blokes - you've added some much needed excitement to this year's finals series, and I for one hope you can keep it going for at least another week.

Holy what a game! Very fitting, and the fact it was a thriller was a much entertaining spectacle.

 

[Iva Bigun]

I’m overwhelmed, I was so proud of the effort and was consigning to us losing when they hit the front

To have happen what happened bought tears to my eyes, just amazing

Im a neutral and I shed a tear too.

Tonights win makes up for all those painful years early when they were formed.

Tonights a night that makes Suns fans to wear their guernsey outside.

The lack of respect deserved or not has been like a knife for years and to have the boys stand up and say “we are good enough, why not us” is just humbling and amazing

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Everyone in the media was writing us off in the lead up all week.
Eating their words now

Well I'm wearing it inside with the scarf and cap, even with it 28C and the fan on at 8.30pm........on my 5th whiskey making it a great night........

 

[eighties]

Just so stoked. So many moments in that game…

All we gave up to get Rioli and that moment on center wing in the last couple of minutes , he put his body on the line got smashed and got a handball out won us the game imo. Worth every cent!

Club defining shit tonight. Freakin stoked!!!!

 

[purplearmy]

Well done GC. I genuinely mean that. You are a fast, skilled team and were way hungrier. I love what Dimma has done for your club and will be hoping you progress further.

 

[Freomaniac]

Congratulations Gold Coast suns on the win tonight.

Suns fought hard and dug deep to win.

I saw an article on Facebook about the suns side tonight. On paper they were experienced.

But finals wise, or was the least experienced finals side since the 1993 crows.

So if the 23 players that played tonight, only 3 blokes won finals before joining the suns.

(Collingwood).

So that means 20 Suns blokes got their 1st finals win.

AFL wants an all Queensland semi final at the Gabba. Similar to the 2005 South Australian showdown.

Well done GC - the better team when it counted.

Now excuse me whilst I scream into the void.

 

[purplearmy]

I was at at the game and was surprised just how fast GC are. They’re going to trouble sides for sure.

 

[thewizardmelon]

Never in doubt - All Gas No Brakes!

 

[Leigh aka Frogs]

Congratulations guys and gals. What a thrilling win. Fantastic for Swallow. All the very best for next week!

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

It was written in stone. What a truly glorious day this was.

 

[SandyToes]

Crept into town wearing all black
Heading out tonight loud and proud in full battle rattle
Hollywood ending with our central casting star
Still a bit in shock really

 

[nutstar]

Ok.. I’ve calmed down.
Am back at my hotel room sobbing, I can’t emphasis how nuts that was at the stadium. Behind the goals we had all but accepted Fremantle had overran us and we’re going to win.
But there was another twist to come.
I have no voice, so good.

But, just a hat tip to the class of the Fremantle supporters. They’d just been beaten and knocked out of finals by a point. But were kind, chatty people in the line for the train, as well as on the train itself. Multiple people offered a seat to my young lad. We didn’t take the offer. But the gesture appreciated

Good to hear, the exact opposite of what I encountered with Port supporters a few weeks ago, feral

I love Adelaide oval - the stadium.
But the abuse you cop from the home supporters there is nuts.

Mate you are gonna have a lot of a neutrals going for your mob. That win tonite was just phenomenal. To come to Perth with such a hostile crowd and do the job is amazing. The suns at their best can beat anyone. Fairy tale ending tonite to see Dave swallow kick the winner. Highlight of the year for me.

 

[Danog]

I really hope your club looks into whoever is doing your website content. 0 mention of the biggest win in their club's history. 0 interviews. 0 highlights. Awful.

Wish I had been there for the 2017 EF.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Congrats GC, you did it! Against all the odds. I tipped Freo but thought you were a better chance than the pundits were saying. Just a fairytale finish.

I know we've overhype the EF winners, but Brissie are cherry ripe for the picking. It's a shame only one Queensland team can progress, but honestly you're a real chance. Even if you lose, tonight will be valuable experience going forward, and you should improve next season.
