That was the best of the 4 finals IMO.

.

All the finals have been good watching I think the stand out win was Sydney over a very overrated Melbourne.

 

[StuMan]

Fox sure know how to kill the vibe after a game of football with their shit shows.

 

[Us against the rest]

We could have a guitarist on the roof too.

Why not we already have a coke guzzling Donut in the box and a Wiggle for a chairman.

went about it.

Insane come back effort upstairs

 

[Jojay]

Wow...Craig McRae's presser.

Some of our guys were lying on the ground after the siren. That's loser stuff.

We might have lost but we're not losers.

He hates to lose.

We have Captain Capitulation as coach.

McRae's a 3 time premiership player. Hinkley's a 3 time bridesmaid. Pretty much tells us all we need to know.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Those Freo 6 footer types around the middle and HB turned that game against bigger opponents:

Brayshaw, Serong, Aish, Clarke, Walker, Frederick, Ryan etc.

And after being impressed with Hayden Young

when we played Freo, I've been watching him closely and he had a huge last 1.5 quarters.

 

[PAFC Since 1870]

Great effort by Freo. What a comeback.

 

[finbarr]

Oh look, Melbourne just need to win their home semi final to get a home prelim as the away team for a berth in the grand final on their home ground.

But boo hoo they had to travel to Adelaide and Perth last year.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

From the sea to the shore hear the roaring
We will fight for the pride and the glory
Freohh Freo
Freohh Freo

And after being impressed with Hayden Young when we played Freo, I've been wqtching him closely and he had a huge last 1.5 quarters.

Young is a gun. The kind of defender I love where he’s a true all rounder. Great ball user. Long kick. Creative kick. Good defensively. Enjoys contact / physical. Tall for a flanker / pocket.

Like we’ve got players that have one or two of those attributes. Must be amazing having an all rounder like that.

 

[Dutchy5150]

No reason they can't beat Collingwood.

Wanna bet...

 

[PatientMental]

Luke Ryan is like if jonas was good at football.

 

[finbarr]

The theme song for this show is basically a reworking of Huey Lewis and the News Hip To Be Square.
Robbo is a hack.

 

[VineValerian]

Memo Koch, Hinckley, et al:

THAT's how you address a 6 goal quarter time deficit in a knockout final !!!!!

You dont say "it's just a bad day at the office. She'll be ok. Nohing to see here. Stability. Trust Ken" and proceed to limp to a 12 goal abomination.

You bunch of "know f*** all" dropkicks

Robbo is a hack.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Wanna bet...

I looked up the finals umpires last night for this week and of the - 4 x 3 and 4 emergencies, there was no Matthew Nicholls or Ray Chamberlain

 

[philthy05]

Young is basically my dream defender.
If I could “create a player” a dude up for ports backline I would make young.

 

[philreich]

No reason they can't beat Collingwood.

If they do, it'll guarantee at least 1 non Victorian team in the grand final.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Fresh coaches eh.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Fresh coaches eh.

Someone tell Koch

From the AFL website's Match Timeline
