Congratulations Bulldogs on winning the Gary Ayres Medal before the GF
Surely, they should make it only your 3 top rated finals game scores from each player count to the medal! Simple fix and takes away the farcical situation the medal is in now.

They are better at Footy, they will be better at Footy.

Adelaide Oval is worlds apart from the Gabba when it comes to playing the Lions.

You got taken apart. The Bulldogs are not that much better than us (if at all). It’s that simple. There’s nothing logically to suggest we will get smashed.

Dogs on track to mimic Hawks 08-15, won an early one, 4 year drought, 3 peat.
Goodwin to do a CS and think he's smartest guy in the room, wait for obscure selection/positional choice.

My point is that it really doesn’t matter who has beaten who already. In 2014 hawthorn scraped into the GF and flogged Sydney who won the PF really easily.
It just doesn’t mean anything who beats who.

Melbourne have played one good team in the last 6 weeks (excluding 2 games against Geelong) and were 6 goals down against Geelong at one stage .
Before that you drew with Hawthorn and then were beaten by the Bulldogs by 20 points.
So the form line is not strong besides a good win Vs Brisbane.

3 weeks ago Bevo had everyone writing off Dogs dropping late games, all the experts said cooked, trolled the lot of 'em.
Last week everyone said Port would win, got smashed.
King is the 'king' of stats and usually gets it wrong, stats and recent history are irrelevant when the ball is bounced in the GF.
In 12 days they'll win a 2nd flag in 5 years, what about all the experts?

Goodwin never been this deep in finals as a Coach, wait for it..
It is a shame because this will be a really good game of football.
But Optus Oval is a pretty nifty ground!
60,000 people will fit and DOGS V DEES, those members and fans who can go, will be there.
There'll be a lot!
But these, Sandgropers, who I've got to know over a couple of decades, are pretty crazy football people too,
they 'll go!
Eastern brothers, it is a really good ground. Thats coming from a Victorian "visitor" thats been here about thirty years.
There is nothing like the MCG on Grand Final day, I've seen two of them. A win and a loss.
BUT this will be a good thing, this is a traditional footy state, it'll go mad.
And a fair few West Aussies still follow their old clubs from VFL days and not always Eagles or Dockers.
Most are of course following their states two clubs . But Doggies have a fair old number of members here, like most other clubs all over the country. The Dees will too.
This ground will fill up, fear not, TV fans in the east you'll feel it.
And the crowd will be loud.
Trust me?

I hope they don’t appoint Findlay as an umpire in this match. He is terrible but I expect they will.

Both teams coming off 70+ point wins in the PF. It doesn’t get any clearer than that re form.

Yes It will be interesting to see how it pans out.Should be a cracker of a game with so many good players in form .
Good luck.

You’re making an assumption and asking if you’re right? You can’t be right until it happens. Substitute ‘will’ for ‘maybe’ and even then, it’s still an assumption.

Didn't Hawthorn belt the Bulldogs in that time? Or does that not count, only our draw to them counts as it goes against your argument?

Hawthorn beat us comfortably. Essendon beat us the week before with Peter Wright looking like ******* Lockett, and Port missed a bunch of shots and still won by a kick. I wouldn't have backed us against any decent team at that point, our form line was shocking.
Whatever happened Bevo and the team managed to right the ship, and now we look more like the team we were in the first half of the year.
The only form line that matters is last week's, and as you or another poster rightly pointed out both sides look pretty good on that basis. I'm not discounting the fact either team could be on and the other not, resulting in a comfortable win, but my guess would be an arm wrestle until at least late in the third.

You want stats, how did he go at Optus in his last final against a good side..

The Bulldogs did dip at the end of home and away but then smashed Essendon, beat Brisbane at the Gabba and smashed Port in Adelaide.
Melbourne's finals form has been impressive as well but I think the odds are wrong.
I think it should be an even money game or Bulldogs slight favourites.
I don't think many Dee's players have played in a GF.
