I never said they'd win. But they are least would have taken the game more seriously. I can't help but think that the dogs thought they'd have it in the bag. But it wasn't a repeat of 2016. They didn't have an extra 3 players on the field Melbourne were always winning this though

It's a shame the dogs made the grand final instead of lions or port. Both teams would have made this more of a spectacle

It's a Grand Old Flag. Congratulations Melbourne on being the 2021 premiers.

It's gonna be a great game. Melbourne going for their first premiership in like 150 million years or something. Bulldogs with the AFL's match fixing department on their side. Heart says Melbourne. Head says Bulldogs.

I'd call that cheating but that doesn't do it justice. That was so blatant that a proper investigation would lead to gaol time for the umpires and AFL officials. Good luck Port and Melbourne because it looks like the AFL have bet on dogs to win the grand final and they will make that happen.

I've already contacted the UN Human Rights department cause this is a breach of the human rights convention

Bulldogs are a terrible side. We are turning it over like crazy and it's still our game to lose. How did Bulldogs even get 15 wins?

Don't understand how Rich doesn't get a freekick there. The mark was still on but he gets tackled and arms chopped in the marking contest

Umpiring aside, we'd have this game in the bag if we didn't mess up our forward 50 entries.

Dogs player throws it. No free kick. Neale tackled immediately and it's htb. I'm not surprised. Just disappointed

Given the AFL have refused to play games in places not in a lockdown whilst playing games in places that are in lockdown I fully expect us to be playing Bulldogs in Ballarat next week.

As do throws but the umpires barely call those either. It's pretty clear they only use "Potential to cause injury" when they want to help out specific teams

We were definitely the worst side out there but happy for the win. We were just lucky that we were playing the strikers instead of a good side. Lets not forget the strikers had us 7 wickets down in our first meeting at the gabba and still almost lost the game. Hoping we play a lot better...

Honestly looked like he could have taken it but dropped to the ground

Yeah but we'd basically have to have Pakistan levels of match fixing to lose this. Actually probably beyond that.

Against this bowling lineup Lynn could have a field day hence the range. It's likely gonna be closer to 50 though as I don't see Lynn surviving long tbh.

Strikers will likely get an early wicket as Heazlett has been pretty terrible this season. If they get lynn too they'll be confident. But this total is basically a run a ball. Can't see labs and pierson failing here. Strikers are definitely 50 - 80 runs short. Will be an easy chase for us.

I like this lineup from the Heat. Think they should choose this team against the Thunder on Sunday

In the words of Bruce. This is Delicious

Might be just overly pessimistic right now but I'd rather Brisbane play 14 games out of QLD. That way I don't have to see them lose live. We are tied with the Thunder in least amount of finals made in BBL history. Although thunder are going to make it this year leaving Brisbane standalone last.

Yeah I'd say that's the likely outcome. I'd put Adelaide in the mix depending on where they finish. If they grab 3rd they'd have a good chance. Thunder have been too hit and miss so I'd say they only have a minor chance. Went from a record score to not even being able to chase 150. Adelaide...

Nah. I'm pro Brisbane. Couldn't give a crap about the other teams unless there is advantage to us. Thunder winning would have basically confirmed Heat making it into the finals. Now we have to beat the Scorchers to even have a chance. Not gonna happen

Oh I don't expect anything to change. Like the AFL they'll only care about crowd numbers and maximising revenue over fairness. The lack of travel though has been a big advantage. You'd hope Adelaide make the most of it as they won't get this advantage again.

I don't know if it was mentioned earlier but I really hope next season Adelaide are forced to play the majority of their games away from Adelaide. Think it's ridiculous this home game for the Thunder was played at Adelaide. Covid or not no other team gets to play 9/14 games in a season at their...

Yeah. I don't get why we swapped him out and then didn't open with him. If he doesn't open then he's not being used properly.

You'll be 3rd behind scorchers on NRR

I think it depends on how the game is going. But I think the better lineup would have Labs/Denly at 3-4. Then Burns and Gregory. Gregory can be promoted up the order if we need a pinch hitter. I think whats clear is we've really missed Tom Banton this year. He was excellent at the top of the...

I don't know why the heat substituted Morkel for Bryant. Bryant would only be in the side to slog and he's not even doing it. If he doesn't open then he shouldn't be in the team.

But I'm at work and getting paid to shitpost.

You know you are destined to lose when Siddle gets a wicket. Amazing that he is still the best bowler in the whole of Adelaide.
