AFL Grand Final Grand Final 2021 - Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs - Sat, Sept 25 - 5:15pm AWST / 7:15pm AEST

[Phar Ace]

Poor effort by the dogs. I thought they would at least try to fight back

Looked quite lacklustre for much of the game - think the pressure tightness of the first qtr found them out - they found something after that in the 2nd but looked spent all over the ground into the third. Melbourne just rolled over the top after that. A lot of flat footed Doggies!

How does Bayley Fritsch kick 6 in a GF?

He was my barometer player,I thought if he kicked a bag,the Dees would win,Brown chipped in with some as well.

2 riveting prelims and an equally enthralling GF.

maybe I’m just biased because there’re a lot of things shitting me off about the world at the moment…

but * me footy has gone to the dogs. I remember being in pubs from 2000-2010 when a final was on, and the whole pub, with probably 60% neutrals, being glued to the TV screen, watching as one, such was the tension, excitement, and passion for the game.

last night was the first GF ever where I didn’t even watch the whole game. * you Gil, * you Shocking. And * Hamish for good measure, creepy child-chatting prick

He was amazing yesty ,have to admit but I still love our Dusty and can’t wait to see him again next year.

In all honesty his game was one of the all times... I'm not bagging him but when the media says "move over Dusty" that's when I get annoyed

Bit stiff on last night's game. For the best part of 3 quarters it was anyone's game, then the Dees pulled out one of the most insane 30min periods you'll ever see. An extreme version of 2011 - think last night will end up underrated due to the final margin.

All in good fun mate, media seem to move Dusty aside after this performance... have a bit of fun

In all honesty his game was one of the all times... I'm not bagging him but when the media says "move over Dusty" that's when I get annoyed

I doubt martin cares about the media comments or comparisons
Plus he will be glad that the media attention is not on him

Did cornesy wear a Richmond scarf on Sunday footy show last year , can’t recall

Edit , since 2019 11 unanswered goals

The Melbourne board has an oppo congratulations thread.... Cringe

Do they serve o'dourves when you enter?

They got 12, and it took them just over a quarter to do it (first at 16min mark of 3rd quarter, 12th at 18min mark of 4th). 2019 was all day domination - it took nearly a half to get our 11 in a row.

It’s getting a little tiresome , bit similar to when they says move over The Beatles when One Direction arrived on the scene . Get some new material you silly campaigners

 

[Wavvey]

Basil announcing the norm smith himself and not letting the winning coach make a speech was the highlight of last night, what a w***er

 

[chriso11]

Thought yesterday was as highly entertaining a blowout game as you can get (without it being a game where Richmond is producing the blow out).

halfway thru the 3rd I thought the Dees were cooked. Then they killed it

Dees fans should be over the moon, what a season they produced. Petracca legit claims for best in the game right now. He was immense

 

[db26]

On the dees they have been on the bottom for how long sucking up draft picks year after year year sooner or later it was bound to click let's not forget this club was guilty of tanking and afl turned a blind eye.

Dusty will be happy for Petracca,that’s the type of bloke he is.

 

[chriso11]

Actually thought Daisy Pearce was good on special comments last night. There was one moment where BT complained about the Dogs making a tactical mistake and she chimed in to override his comment with good tactical knowledge to support her view. BT was left speechless

Same, he has a little James Hird about him (not saying he is exactly him) but there is a little to like about his game

No, just Horses Doovers

BT is clueless.

Yeaj.. but what about GWS and Suns? Carlton?
melbourne deserve credit, having the picks is one thing, playing as a team with a winning system is something else

 

[DickieKnee]

playing as a team with a winning system is something else

I'd credit Goodwin with that. Roos took the cash.

Roos will be expecting Goodwin to give him his medal

We did GWS the old fashioned way, slowly grind em into the ground. For mine, that's more enjoyable.

 

[Tiges1229]

Crazy to think dogs were only 4 points down with 4 mins to in the 3 rd quarter

 

[Tiges1229]

I will be having a good talking to my reverse mozza today
