AFL Grand Final Dee Day

[Mego Red]

that Kruezer cup sure destroyed all the 3 teams involved. Including Richmond and Melbourne

#winningculture

Lol - the cup for a player that happened so long ago they're now retired?

Losing cultures ruined decades for those clubs.

They CHANGED their culture from then. You want us to be what they were when they were losers.

 

[hey shorty]

I love when people start talking about the process as the secret to success.

“Stick to the process and you will get the results.”

No. You probably won’t get THE results, but you will get results of some kind

One of many overused sporting cliches.

Everyone has a process, most clubs have good processes.

Melbourne making good use of their Amazon prime account, got their new winning culture on express 2 year delivery. Even took their old one away

as for Richmond…

 

[hey shorty]

Took them the best part of 10 years to get all the pieces in the right spots.

ps did you know Alex Rance was a priority pick from that same draft. Getting Trent cotchin and Alex Rance (priority) didn’t bleach them all of good cultures for that long

not many other clubs have won premierships in that intervening period.

 

[CrowinNT]

I know he was an already established player, but didn’t Melb use pick 6 to trade for May?

You could be right
I just associate pick 6 with the Neale trade. Maybe that was the year pick 6 did a trip around the country ?

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Spare a thought for St Kilda who overlooked Petracca in that draft AND now have the longest flag drought.

 

[BACCS]

Whatever the recipe for success ultimately is, it doesn’t hurt to start with top shelf ingredients. Melbourne’s best players in the GF included Pick 2 (Petracca) Pick 3 (Brayshaw) another Pick 3 (Jackson) Pick 4 (Oliver) and Pick 9 (Salem).

Outside of Jackson, it also took the rest of those players until their 4th or 5th seasons to really start delivering on their high draft positions. People were calling for Petracca and Oliver to be traded at one stage. That’s why people on here need some patience with the rebuild and to not lose their s**t and call players spuds if they’re playing some poor games in their 1/2/3 years.

Culture alone won’t be winning any premierships without elite players.

Another big moment a few minutes later, game in the balance, Dogs threatening to take back the lead. Brayshaw comes flying in and destroys Schache.

Not sure why that wasn’t a free to Schache.

Dusty almost traded when he was a high potential but troubled player. He stays and three Norm Smiths and Premierships later…

Both Hardwick and Goodwin with question marks on their heads going into their premiership year…

So many variables. The key is working all this out without hindsight (and ignoring the media)! *ingg Richmond keeping their claws in Balme. At least we seem to be trending in the right position, but still some way to go getting off-field and on-field right.

Yep. Was involved in the Neale/Hogan/May deals

I thought it was at the time

 

[Dirty Bird]

Why?

The AFL logo becomes gold for the premiers

 

[FR0GGY]

The AFL logo becomes gold for the premiers

Our yellow is hardly gold.

 

[Crowked]

Got to get Darren Burgess over the line ASAP. 100 x more important than anything else we do this off season.

They both sorted their issues at board level instead if letting them fester

Give it a few days

 

[spenze]

Bailey Fritsch will not work for 17 other teams.

Yep, a forward who doesn't get huge possession counts but is a dead eye dick shooting for goal...

 

[UcantCme]

Petrecca asked in the press conference

"where does the belief come from to turn things around like the team did in the 3rd qtr"

His response

"It's the work that we have done with Burgess, we know we are the fittest club in the comp"

Taken us 23 years and counting

 

[thebirdman 24]

So...Goodwin can coach. Handy to know when we eventually need to replace Nicks.

It's a pity for Melbourne that they finished 17th in 2019 and destroyed their culture.

Yep.. that was blatant and utter tanking that year no two ways about it..

They finished 5th in 2018 and were a side on the up… in 2019 as soon as it was clear they werent a chance they layed down and went for the draft pick.

And because of it they were able to add Luke Jackson who played a big part in helping get them to a GF and winning it.. that lad is a gun.

So good that he got to witness that.. what a legendary bloke and an inspiration to all..

Pity he couldnt be there in amongst it last night, but ohwell, he’ll be the first person there to greet them when they get back to melbourne.

Reacon Petracca might give him his Norm smith to wear…

Noticed that Petracca actually took it off as soon as he got it and gave it to someone else to hold onto.. he didnt wear anything but the same premiership medal as the rest of the players for the rest of the broadcast celebrations that I saw last night..
