Congrats Sam Walsh, a deserving winner

This thread is already a sh**show, and the kid is only 20! A very good player. Not the best we've seen at his age, but in rare air. If he wants to be revered as an all time great - which his extremely rare talent gives him a unique opportunity to achieve - then he needs to be harder around...

It wont be long

Should archery, darts, shooting etc only have one target? Footy is not unique in this respect. Footy is also not unique in having some quirky features. For example, why in rugby is kicking a conversion worth half (or more) of the value of a try? Kicking a conversion doesnt really have anything...

Decent update on the state of play with more tightly regulating the advertising of sports betting

Goals on the siren the diff

The players look spent!

Thats not even a rule!!

Darcy Barbie Moore being towled up thus far

Duck duck Daicos #Soft

Players already struggling with the heat. Brisbane had no legs those last few minutes. There will be alot of space in this game.

Typical Daicos, soft as s*** also should have been a reversal

Let us pray

Head: Pies, by 4 goals Heart: Brisbane by whatever margin

2:30pm start is not consistent with modern life, particularly in NSW and QLD. It is a relic from a bye gone era that is not appropriate for the biggest game of the year. There is no good argument too keep it IMO (I dont given any weight 'tradition'). Twilight start is a must, circa 4:30-5pm.

Good count - best in a while it feels, so far

How can this intro not even discuss anyone but a handful a midfielders?? Yes, it a midfielders award in practice, but this is a slap across the face to gun players in other positions on the ground. (And raises questions on voting secrecy - maybe the umpires changed their approach...)

Double breast suits in fashion, as a dinner suit?? Unlikely to age well, Toby and Nick

Darcy was horrendous. That had to be the most biased call I have heard. No chance he gets a grand final gig on Ch.7 I dont mind BT overall - his best is excellant, and he can bring a bit of e-lec-tricity to the broadcast that few others can. But he also has deficiencies / opportunities for...

Liked: guts of GWS, composure of Brisbane, the game bursting impacts of De Goey and Crisp (Re)Learnt: making a GF from bottom half of the 8 eight is almost impossible even with the week off before the finals. Hated: umpiring at times (4th qtr first game, 1st qtr second game), Ch7 commentary...

The lack of an explannation is damning, and really inexcusable given the interpretation on display throughout the home and away

That was a joke. Run past the ball, shoulder tucked, launch your body like a missle, collect a bloke high and leave him concussed. Thankfully that act would now be treated appropriately with a suspension (or so you would hope...)

After last nights epic, I fear this could be a blowout. But as a neutral, hoping for another classic (and that the winner takes home the flag). Good luck to supporters of both teams

He landed on his back, unlike Daniels....

Hw How does this square with wieterring stumbling around last week like he was due an 8 count, with 15mins left still to go. How can AFL docs over rule in this one, but not the weitering one (which objectively looked much more severe)?

In the back yes - how the umps missed that free kick (and others...). But not a driving action, nor two actions, in my view. No suspension or fine warranted.

What a classic, thank you and well done to both teams

Well umpired overall up until now - let's hope they keep it up

All time game, but Pies look to have the legs to run it out

Throw by cripps - pies throwing it all nigjt
