Kevin Murray and Bobby Skilton can be rolled out to reminisce about the glory of their combined 700 game 1 final careers

Barry Round and Bernie Quinlin sharing a pint On The Couch.

Pussies with one hand on the cup.

Ya never know, Brisbanes leg speed might worry them.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Melbourne fitness gone to shit this year. Their last quarters have been trash.

After experimenting for years on us, Reckon Burgess has found his sweet spot finally.

 

[PatientMental]

Imagine if Brissy roll Geelong and Sydney win.

AFL will be cutting its dick off after trying to stop two non Victorian teams making a GF for 15 years

 

[Grave Danger]

I guess Fitzroy never did have many supporters...

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Chris Fagan has been under fire this year. Fagan's coached Brisbane to top 4 2019, 2020 and 2021, 5th this year and into a prelim. Old Donuts is not fit to tie his shoe laces.

And if Fagan had of lost last week he would have been gone.

Meanwhile Kenny boy is still chilling in the coaches box.

 

[Pappagallo]

Fitzroy! They did it for the old Fitzroy faithful!!

They just can’t help themselves. If Sydney and Brisbane make the GF it’ll be wall to wall Bloods and Roys references.

 

[Festerz]

Will the MRP look at his scrap with Oliver.

They will but pretty obvious that his head was being pushed away by Oliver and he was just reaching up to break free. Despite what BT said there was no way that poke in the eye was intentional. Looks worse on slo mo.

Melbourne fitness gone to s**t this year. Their last quarters have been trash.

After experimenting for years on us, Reckon Burgess has found his sweet spot finally.

They were struggling by half time. Gawn and Oliver looked completely gassed, the old Burgess burnout?

 

[snozulu]

So maybe Melbourne weren't an unbeatable juggernaut. Maybe our coach should have had a plan to beat them rather than try and lose by only a little bit

I remember there was a time when Hinkley said after a win against Melbourne that it was the best win he has ever had.

Good, I hope our club has the balls to point out how good it is to celebrate traditions.
Also how pathetic were the Melbourne supporters,sounded like they were outnumbered 2 to 1.

A few of the Melbourne players look a little pudgy round the midriff. The opposite I think.

We’ve already done this with regards to the Fitzroy and South Melbourne heritage guernseys that they’ve both worn recently. Worked a treat!

Burgess isn’t their fitness coach anymore.

Cool, should stop doing it then.

 

[Interstater]

I fully support Brisbane and Sydney wearing their heritage guernseys in the grand final.
Would set an excellent precedent.

- averages 13.41 uncontested possessions per game, 5 in the semi final

Ironically, the guy who was injured in Petracca actually spread the most of the Melbourne midfield - averages 15.67 uncontested possessions per game, led Melbourne with 14 uncontested.

You're not going to win shit if your midfield isn't working hard enough to provide options on the spread.

 

[Gryllis]

Good. Melbourne supporters have been acting so entitled about winning a flag at the MCG because they had to travel last year.

 

[all seeing eye]

Burgess isn’t their fitness coach anymore.

i know, but he has a history of getting the best out of a side but flogging them to do it. Im calling it post burg burnout syndrome

 

[Willsy10]

****ing suck shit demons you flipping campaigners. Win the flag in Perth last year but still whinge about it not being in Melbourne you entitled pricks. Nek minnut, get two home finals the next year and choke on both of them. Eat a bag of dicks.

Gawn had a really poor finals series. Provided no inspiration.

Dees supporters going off at Goody, reckon Gawn has been stuffed with injury for months and should have been rested weeks ago.

 

[240volt]

Fagan winning through to a Prelim probably helps "Old School" Hinkley's stocks. C'mon Essendon, you know you need a crusty looking bastard who wears thongs and Stubbies.

Things are looking pretty grim when your only hope is Essendon.

 

[philthy05]

If I was a Freo supporter I'd be worried about selling the farm for Luke Jackson

I’ve long said that Jackson is a very good footballer and a average to poor ruck.

He’s a good player, I just don’t know how impactful a utility will be on a consistent basis.

He will give freo a competitive flexible tall tho.

 

[powermacs]

Dees supporters going off at Goody, reckon Gawn has been stuffed with injury for months and should have been rested weeks ago.

And as it turns out playing a bloke with a broken leg wasn’t the brightest ideas. Who’d have thought.

 

[Pappagallo]

Cool, should stop doing it then.

I’m just saying it won’t make a difference. The argument has been laid out to the AFL over and over and they just don’t give enough of a sh1t to do anything about it.
