Game Day 2021 AFL Grand Final - Dogs vs Demons @Optus Stadium 25/09/21

[Purple Jesus]

Its a pity the game never seems to live up to all the hype most years. Bulldogs would surely have to put English up after that game.

Hard pass.

 

[FreoRicci]

English did well up to the third. Then Goodwin threw Jackson in the ruck, and absolutely demolished him.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Whoever relevant deserves the credit, ****ing banging job making our guys feel at home tonight. Champions.

 

[Schauermann]

Well, hope our boys feel a sting of pride now. It's only them and St. Kilda left without a flag since 1995...

 

[Righteo]

Grats to Melbourne but it's a weird feeling. I'm happy for their fans but seething with jealousy at the same time.

they were immense tho and you get the feeling there are more flags on the way. At least it'll be more bearable than the Richmond and Hawks dynasties

As a thankyou you'll give us Jackson now right?

Agree. Actually was a very likeable GF matchup. Wouldn't have minding the Dogs winning as well.

said their missing ingredient was their closeness on the field – celebrating each other’s goals etc. Reckon there’s something in that for us

 

[Sweetback]

Bulldogs got up by 3 goals and then absolutely capitulated in about 10 minutes, complete and utter demolition from the centre and stoppages with barely a pulse by the Bullies apart from the second quarter.

Btw. I like Luke Jackson

's 80s action star haircut.

 

[Freo123]

Well, I give the WA GF a B-. Too much Basil Zemplis. Plus Birds of Tokyo hosting the half time show.

Birds of Tokyo were fantastic.

 

[MadMundy]

No better feeling than your boss letting you go half an hour early and then sneaking into the crowd to watch the last five minutes. That eruption when the siren went was euphoric. I screamed my ****ing lungs out, I'm so happy for Melbourne, such a deserved flag.

I know I'm going to bawl my eyes out when we win though.

 

[estibador]

What? All tied up with 2 minutes left in the third, and just awesome to watch the demolition over the next 20 minutes. Good to watch and great game overall.

Yeah it seems weird to say about a 70 point flogging, but I thought it was a really interesting battle.

You just hope a few of our boys are seething with jealousy...

There were enough of them at the game so it's should be a taste of things to come for them.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Melbourne from about 5 minutes to go in the third quarter turning a deficit into a 74 point win was absolutely ruthless and perfect team footy.

 

[Madas]

English did well up to the third. Then Goodwin threw Jackson in the ruck, and absolutely demolished him.

I thought it was Englishs’ best game up till 3 quarter time when he ran out of legs .

Welcome !
Enjoy the moment, must feel amazing.
We can only dream .

 

[arsesmart]

Btw. I like Luke Jackson's 80s action star haircut.

It's a shocker. However his efforts were brilliant and pretty much a key part of their good start and kept them in it during the Dogs charge in the 2nd & 3rd, kick-starting their surge home as well.

His appetite to compete is huge and he wins or halves most contests he gets to. He was hugely influential when they started clicking into gear in the 3rd.

Absolutely, he also has a clear head under pressure and makes good choices with more time than seems he rightfully has.

All that was evident in his U18 carnival campaign too.

 

[FreoRicci]

Was awesome wasn’t it. Bonts kicked his third to put them up 59-40 with 9.30 left in the third. The rest was just everything coming together so perfectly on the biggest stage. Don’t think ever witnessed such complete game live. Just the synergy of the midfield group, very jealous.
Oliver is just as good as Petracca. Langdon and Brayshaw the wings so perfecty.

And that’s why you play three tall forwards. Brown, McDonald and Jackson were too much.

 

[Electronic_Renaissance]

So in fairly recent years we've seen, Sydney, Geelong, Western Bulldogs and now Melbourne break their droughts.

I feel our time is soon...

This doesn't include players who won a premiership before joining Fremantle. Peter Bell played in 1995 for Freo so i have included him.
