to all you idiots who potted us over the years and are still whining now, keep whining , we have won the granny, suck it up, we are the best team, deal with it

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Martin is a great player, and he's done some nice things today which has got the crowd excited, but his performance hasn't been Norm Smith worthy.*

*And then he has two shots in a minutes and kicks a goal.

Last year certain North fans mocked the Bulldogs relentlessly....til they won
This year they attacked Richmond....til they win

Look out Dees fans and fellow Saints fans, it is our turn next

Well, unless they go and pick on the Bombers instead for their finals record

Go Tiges!

First to 100.

MCG tenant wins over better side again. Getting sick of the VFL.

MCG isn't what made Adelaide crumble under pressure

 

[kaiserchief13]

Should have been played at a neutral ground like TIO Traegar Park in Alice Springs I guess...

How about at the higher ranked teams home ground?

 

[Sea fog]

13th to 1st
Amazing stuff.

In these days of evening up the comp.probably not terribly surprising. There are no superstar teams anymore. The best teams would now get whipped by the premiers of yore.

 

[Hoops]

Balme should be the highest paid person in football

Home of footy, suck it up!!!!

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

I love footy. Such an amazing Sport.

 

[Cleavy]

Good thing I'm not doing a shot for every time Gale has been shown during the last quarter. Would be totally wasted.

Thanks KB.

 

[The King!]

Benny gale what a champ

 

[purplearmy]

Well done to the Tigers!

The Grand Final belongs at the MCG. If you can't win it there you don't deserve to win the premiership.

Idiotic post. Cricket was invented in England. Do England have the right to have every Ashes series played there? The urn would never come to Australia, but hey, if Australia can't win there then they don't deserve to have it right?

nothing has worked for the crows today

They tried too hard to replicate the perfect passing game that has worked so well for them. Over handballing and not enough kicking when it mattered. I saw it last week at the Geelong game. As shit as Tex and co have been, their game style hung them out to dry. Way too slow in getting the footy down there in the early stages of the game fell right in Rance and co hands.

Hardwick is coach of the year for one reason. He learnt the art of keeping it simple. Chase, tackle, forward pressure, move it forward. The only real structure aspect they've relied on is defense.

You're a flog richo

 

[mick500]

In all seriousness well done Richmond. Far better side and leaders on the day.


Umpires killed us in the first half but I doubt it made much difference. Better side on the day won.

Soak it in crows players. This what you get when you continually get ahead of yourselves.

Hartigan is a spud and so is brown. Under pressure they are useless.

And see ya later lever. Was good knowing ya.

If there's one thing we can take from today, it is this:

Brisbane can win next years premiership.

 

[Tasfut]

Would have loved to see a live cross to Treloar right then

 

[The King!]

A deserved fairytale great to see, been years since we saw one

 

[catstorm]

Wonder how long it will take for Jenkins to live down that premiership player call.

I would love it if a Muslim won the norm smith in a year that gay marriage was legalised.

Progress.

Perhaps Houli might then get the plaudits he deserves for being a very good, consistent player for a very long time now, instead of being perceived as a spud.

 

[Das2Blue]

Progress.

I'd love it if they stopped the charade and let a umpire win the NoRM SMITH Medal .

Good job adelaide making phil walsh roll over in his grave today.

Uncalled for.
