AFL 2016 Preliminary Final - GWS v W.Bulldogs, Sat, Sept 24, 5.15pm

[The Nostradamus]

Stevie J played his last ever game a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Cainozz]

I've never seen such amazingly slick hands than the bulldogs this finals series. Seriously their skills and awareness of team mates around them is incredible!

 

[stfan]

So what did I miss?

The future.

 

[Mootsy]

Luke darcy is a joke

WHy because he showed emotion..

 

[Abomination]

I'm so elated for Dogs fans right now. What an unbelievable team you have on your hands.

I wish I could say the same for my own team. Be proud, you've earned this Grand Final (hell of a lot more than I can say for your opposition tonight).

 

[Dacksaredown]

Isn't it interesting that the top 2 teams in the first couple of rounds are now in the Grand Final? Goes to show that starting off the season well goes a long way in terms of confidence.

Does it? Does it really?

Easy to have slick hands when you don't have to punch the ball, just throw it.

 

[stfan]

Epic game and epic last quarter. Great effort by the Doggies with no ruckman for the last two thirds of the game.

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Dogs=Leicester?

Not even close.

 

[The Filth]

Nah you're right, a player lifting their arm in the last minute of a Prelim to win a free and seal a Grand Final spot is great viewing for neutrals. I heard women's beach volleyball is quite good...

Off you go to the beach then...I remember when the 'Crow throw' was allowed..

 

[Xtreme]

So...... Everyone will be supporting Sydney next week right??

I am in the Swans corner something I never thought would happen again

 

[Lsta062]

Does it? Does it really?

Haha well, not in all cases

 

[FreoRicci]

What a game. What a last quarter by BONT and Macrae. Just willed them forward so many times. Wow. Enjoy it doggies fans, it'll be unlike nothing you will experience. Grand final week is just a whole nother level.

 

[Endless]

Well, umpires got their result today... AFL is more rigged than wrestling.

This is meant to be a sport but it's run as an entertainment show where the narrative outweighs the integrity of the competition.

Just utterly, utterly disgraceful.

Those salty tears are sooooooo delicious

 

[frenchconnection]

Swans will roll the dogs. But fantastic for footscray to get into the granny. Respect.

It's never over until the fat lady sings!! As long as the Doggies don't get stage fright they are in with a chance in my opinion. Will depend upon how both teams pull up injury wise?

North?

You're going to feel what it was like for an Eagles fan in the lead up to the 2005 GF.

 

[Cainozz]

Easy to have slick hands when you don't have to punch the ball, just throw it.

I didn't see any throws tonight? It's obviously something they've worked hard on and maybe more AFL teams should follow suit. Teams are always fighting for that edge, especially in a competitive 18 team comp. Good on em I say

 

[sonnywalters]

Every non-sydney supporter will be going for a Doggies GF win...

Have you surveyed them all individually or just taken it upon yourself to be a self appointed spokesman?

Plenty of non-Sydney fans will be going for the Swans. Many in this thread alone have already declared themselves pro-Swans.
I will be going for the Swans.

 

[Vigawla]

Off you go to the beach then...I remember when the 'Crow throw' was allowed..

Hahahahaha... Worked up aren't you fella?

 

[madmug]

The carry-on in the rooms when they still have a game to win. The experience of grand final week for the first time. The pressure of almost all of Melbourne going for them.

Meanwhile the Swans are seasoned pros at this, at the peak of their power.

Anyway, that's a discussion for later, tonight, well done to the Dogs, great result.

All you can do is win l guess. The dogs players would rightly celebrate that win. I bet they will be back on the job by tomorrow.

 

[Elite Master]

They may have been lucky with the free kicks, and they have some disgraceful ducking flogs, but they were first to the ball for a lot of this game, so they deserved to get the edge. Anyway regardless the better team won, they looked cleaner, stronger and more composed from the first quarter. Too classy for the Giants.

 

[Vhaluus]

Those salty tears are sooooooo delicious

Wow you got me there with your originality.

 

[sonnywalters]

So...... Everyone will be supporting Sydney next week right??

You may be surprised. Plenty will.

 

[Verdun]

The lid is well and truly off, it's like they just played their grand final. It'll be hard to come down now. Crash back to earth with a Swans 100 point win next week .

Sometimes you do not to be the expert sometimes you should acknowledge a team who played a cracker of a game and deserves to celebrate; this is one of them.

Your team and the team I support are not in the 2016 Grand Final:

The Bulldogs are - respect
