AFL 2018 - Prelim Final - West Coast v Melbourne, Optus Stadium, Sat, Sept 22, 1.20pm WST

[Demonic Ascent]

Well done west coast far too good for us. Hope you give the Pies a shake next week.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Thought the eagles would do a number on the Demons after last week, but not from the first bounce.

Are melksham and hibberd still serving a doping ban?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Egales players juts waltzing trhough

 

[Boristown]

The pea heart culture of the Demons finally reveals itself at the worst possible time.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Jones, Viney, Gawn, Oliver have all shit the bed in their biggest ever game

Maybe so, but WC v Hawks GF in 2015 weren't too flash either. The 60,000 crowd at Optus Stadium is a GF-like atmosphere.

[SuperSteele22]

Lol who would have thought we’d see the vintage Richmond and Melbourne of old within 24 hours on preliminary final weekend

 

[Marlowe]

Melbourne crashing back to earth

We burned up on re-entry and have crashed right through it.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Hurn is the man.

 

[wayniac]

Irony if Gawn gets a Brownlow...

 

[A Swallow]

Melksham is still a C-Grader with the occasional B to B+ quality game. Nowhere near consistent enough.

 

[Woody15]

This is so bad.

 

[demontim27]

Why do Melbourne keep ignoring short options only to kick long to an outnumbered contest? Just dumb, dumb football

It’s been the game plan for the year
Just most sides haven’t made us pay

 

[pantskyle]

Lol.

 

[mick500]

Suspend your disbelief for just 1 second and cone with me on a trip to fantasy land...

Let's pretend the scores were reversed. 69 to 5 points Melbourne's way..

Now imagine the commentators . They would be going nuts . They didn't want a contest. They wanted Melbourne to win.

Back to reality where all they can talk about is how disappointing this result is for Melbourne and no talk about how well eagles are playing and how excited they would be and how well they are playing going into a GF.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Olivers reactions are now the most interesting part of the game.

Richo sounds like he's attending a funeral.

 

[95bluemember]

Why the hell is Simon's name GoodWIN??????

 

[skwunk]

I'm actually very excited for next week now, should be a great game

 

[chickentendies]

Been enjoying watching this game, just saw Jones and now feel sad

 

[Gydafud]

That body language of Gawn says it all. They know they have lost it. They don’t want to play it out.

 

[Socrates2]

Wasn't expecting this.

Looks like you won't win the GF afterall knobby

 

[Murray2503]

Can melb be kept goalless for the game? I think so.

 

[Falconx]

Collingwood and West Coast are almost exactly even on the Squiggle right now.
