Preview Grand Final: Melbourne v Bulldogs - Saturday 25th September 2021, 7.15pm.

Pressure is crazy

 

[Zhesty]

Would rather the Bulldogs get up tonight for two reasons. Stef being one reason, the other being I can see a Melbourne win tonight leading to a sustained period of success. I think our chances are better next year if the Bulldogs get up.

 

[jackess]

Would've loved this umpiring a few weeks back

 

[martinson]

It seems totally unfair that Melbourne should have someone as good as Jackson as a backup to a champion in Gawn.

Then you've got Brown who isn't hopeless to take some stoppages in the forward half.

It sort of explains why they're most likely to get first use of the ball.

it was actually like this for our first quarter but it all changed after that.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Not confident we would have beaten this Melbourne team if we'd made it today, In fact I dont think anyone could've beaten them all the signs point to this being their year.

It's very difficult to sustain a long period of success. Teams like Collingwood of 2010 probably should have won more, didn't. Syd/WC only lasted 2 years in the mid 2000's.

I think Melbourne will become the hunted next year and will have their game plan picked apart.

Nah, let Melbourne win this year. If the dees lose this one who knows what the hunger would be like for them next year.

Good game .

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Gawn kick was a goal right ?

 

[Big Sauce 21]

There's the doggies style. Ducks in front of goal

 

[Paul Mac]

get stuffed lachie hunter. Stand up like a man and stop dropping your knees

Yeah but because it was spargo who gave it away I’m fine with it

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

Was it Stevic who tried to turn that free out of the centre into a ballup?

 

[SacksonvilleJags]

Can’t bring myself to barrack for the dogs even with stef. I can’t stand the throws and all the little cheating/milking bs they do. Should not be rewarded for that s**t

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Here come the umps

 

[Ceebee]

Demons are going to choke

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Cracker of a contest.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Steph playing well

 

[JasRulz63]

Mmmm

To be fair, this explains some of the "handballing" we've seen tonight (Libba especially).

 

[martinson]

Melbourne thought they were too good and couldn't get back up again when the tempo really lifted.

That Lachie Hunter is a scud and how the umps keep falling for him is a mystery.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Demons choking this game would be tasty.

 

[martinson]

It proves one thing so far.

We're up to it easily on our day.
