Me when Bailey Smith doesn't kick first goal

Surprised you aren't loading up on Ben Brown for first goal. Incredible value considering he has been first goalkicker in both finals we've played this year.

 

[MowShow]

by the time you get to a grand final you've proven that you can handle the pressure.

 

[Shane Heard]

Our Lord and Divine Emperor McGowan has released a statement this morning.

“
The AFL Grand Final today will be a historic occasion for our State, but the circumstances under which it has come to Perth are not lost on any of us.

As much as it will be a celebration of the sport so many of us love, those of us here in WA should also take the chance to reflect on how fortunate we are for the situation we find ourselves in.

To those over east or overseas in places hit hard by the pandemic, please know that we are thinking of you - and particularly of those Melbourne and Bulldogs fans who aren't able to gather to cheer on their teams.

From everyone I've spoken to, I can promise you this - those of us who are lucky enough to be at the game, or just meeting with friends at other venues to watch it, will be cheering as loud as we can.

I hope you enjoy the show.”

expecting the dogs defence to strangle dees attack and thereby win in the way least expected by tv commentators

think the dees defence advantage will be a non issue. dogs will score a modest but winnable total either way.

 

[Chinacats]

Expecting dogs to get off to a good start with their GF experience and Dees maybe the nervy favorite. However Dees never been daunted to be behind by 3-4 goals or even 44 points! Dees will motor home!
Dees by 6 or dogs by 3. Not sure which one yet!

 

[bullruckle81]

Days dragging and couldn’t wait any longer, so just traveled in time to the end of the day to get the scores. Good work Bulldogs!!

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Fair few rumours floating around Facebook that Bailey Smith is a late out.

I heard it was Gawn

 

[donkeypunchd]

I feel sick, God only know what the players are going through right now

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I feel sick, God only know what the players are going through right now

Ours will be calm and focused. Yours will be s***ting themselves

 

[donkeypunchd]

Ours will be calm and focused. Yours will be s***ting themselves

You hope

11 is more than 6, might make a slight difference in the opening minutes but yeah, I think GF experience is a touch overrated. Its certianly better than zero experience but it won't be the deciding factor, cheers.

Look at the dogs in 2016. We had zero players with GF experience compared to a Swans side with a lot of seasoned GF players. Meant nothing on the day, we started well.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I feel sick, God only know what the players are going through right now

I feel sorry for the players being made to sit about all day. Game should have started already.

 

[Cleavy]

so glad ch7 have the rights when stuff like this happens on their watch

 

[Milang_Panthers]

I feel sorry for the players being made to sit about all day. Game should have started already.

Just moved from Perth to Adelaide so I'm used to the GF starting at lunch time so thos wait is killing me.

 

[donkeypunchd]

Yeah it’s bullshit. I get you want the timeslot with the highest audience possible, but don’t piss off your core market in doing so.

 

[Shane Heard]

It was always gunna be Perth

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Go Dees !

 

[Scythe94]

We get it, Basil. The Grand Final is in Perth.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

Dogs!

 

[cactuscall]

May God will them on through this difficult day of oppression that's been put upon them. Let us never forget their struggle in taking to the field a couple of hours later on this day in September.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Absolutely. Really tough in particular given they’ve never played a game later than 5:15pm before in their lives, beyond cruel for the AFL to make them do it for the first time.

Serious question for dogs and demons
would you really feel disheartened if you lost like I really think if the tigers lost last year I would be flat for like 24 hrs but I doubt It wont quite have the same emotional scars most supporters have with losing a grand final. I think Melbourne cause they have been success starved but i reckon if the dogs lose I don’t think there fans would be burnt or emotionally scared. Honestly I don’t think cats fans last year care

 

[scout]

Chopper Cam has the Dogs travelling on the Canning Highway, different choice to Melbourne....

 

[demondavey]

Think the Dogs will most likely kick the first 5-6 goals. We will peg it back but be down by 15-25 all night. Dogs will pull away and win by 35. Scrappy affair, lots of nerves, it’ll be an average affair for neutrals in the mould of the 2013 GF.

All the bullshit hype is on Melbourne but the Dogs aren’t getting the credit they deserve.
