Game Day Richmond Tigers v GWS Giants - Grand Final - Sat 28 Sep, 2:30PM AEST, MCG

[StillAtLarge]

He was probably the worst player out there when the game was up for grabs. Padded his stats after halftime when the match was over. That first contest with Riewoldt set the tone...Davis was well off the pace.
Awful decision to play him

 

[SportsCentre]

I wonder if it had of been Tomlinson with the calf if he had of been given a spot?
I like Phil Davis and I don’t think he was the difference between the teams but he was a meter behind Reiwoldt all game.
No way he was good enough to play and the emergency kept Miochek to 1 poss last week.

Davis was cooked before he even ran out. When GWS came out for the first warm up, he was last to come out, was in pants (all others were in shorts), and could barely move, did nothing harder than a jog and was first to leave the ground 5 minutes later.

Heaps of guys have gotten away with not being 100% and lauded as hero’s when they are on the winning side.

Fraser Brown, Anthony Stevens, half of Brisbane’s 2003 team, Stevie j, Dale Morris and probably Dusty and other Richmond players you don’t know about yet.

It’s a roll of the dice, I think they were shot regardless TBH

 

[WilloTree]

Dusty elevates to 2nd greatest tiger ever behind KB

Maurice Rioli 3rd? Personally, I liked Michael Mitchell and Bruce Monteith - but that's a bit biased since they both had Claremont written all over them. haha

 

[HBF]

GWS Reminded me of cats 94 had some narrow and wonderful finals wins then cooked come grand final time.

99 Blues as well.
We played our GF at the Prelim and we were cooked because of it.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Davis was far from our problem tester. I actually thought he played well.

Haynes played well and Taranto was decent. The rest were average to poor imo

 

[HBF]

Important for the Giants to move on from this quickly. The last team that lost to Richmond in a GF fell off a cliff.

Probably had more to do with that torture camp though

Dunno and don't care, just know you're posting irrelevance in this one.

 

[Cuzz09]

What did Sheedy say that was salty?

So, with all the big big sound memes and 2020 hindsight.

GWS will basically rick roll themselves every time they run on the field next year.

 

[juss]

It still hasn't hit me, the Giants completely failed. All week we heard they were ready, talented, tough, committed, etc. It was all talk and meant nothing, this was their lowest score ever, lower even than their formative years where they had a bunch of kids that got smashed by 100+

It will hit them hard and it's going to take them some time to recover.

 

[tiger_tough]

Bad luck to Gws, Leon Cameron all class the way he spoke. Kevin Sheedy idiot lost respect for him.

What'd he say?

 

[Barlos Crathwaite]

What'd he say?

Said picking Pickett for his debut in a gf showed huge disrespect to GWS

I’d like to know what Cameron said to the players after the game. Are there always cameras in the rooms? What can you say after a loss like that? Losing by 89 points in the grand final, and on top of that, kicking your lowest ever score. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went off the rails a bit next year. Where did Port finish in 08?

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

Has played a huge part in building up the GWS culture and relative success until this week.

Very selfish.
Outcome was determined as soon as this bloke put his hand up to play.

as much as he shouldn't have played, he wasn't the reason they lost.

I'd be looking at guys like kelly, whitfield, hopper, williams and finlayson who have all had great seasons and who were all incredibly subpar.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Fair call some of them were getting a bit ahead of themselves but lots of them on here have copped it sweet. My point was for a new team they have a great record now and probably raise the level of the comp. Look at the NRL with the gold coast titans. What a complete waste of time they are. Sometimes adding new teams doesn't work but GWS are a success story imo

Definitely but just becuase they are new doesn’t mean I’ll be easy on them after my team flogged them

 

[Tiger71]

I am so hung over but bare with me. First GWS commiserations guy, you will be better next year, so hang tough.

BF community never fail to deliver, was even more special reading mods comments crying about umpiring etc, thank you for the laughs.

To the bitter supporters from other clubs, crying and moaning, trying to make themselves believe we have just been lucky these past three years, thank you. Your minnow nature never fails in bringing a smile to my face.

To my club, I am 47 years old, I have seen some mighty low's but never lost faith. To be able to see my club, win a flag, then back it up with a minor premiership, then go on and win the flag the following year, I just cant express how proud I am. I was at he game yesterday with my kids and even they dont understand how lucky in there short lives to see the club they now love win flags, its so bloody rare.

So excited about next year. We get a fully fit Rance to play along side a back line who have grown so much this year. We also get a pre season into Lynch and Pickett, we also should get a band one compo for Brandon Ellis.......good times haha

Fair call. You won the trophy you deserve bragging rights. That's the way it goes

 

[wcegls]

I think i lasted 10 pages of actual gameday posting. Good to see the usual suspects sook and carry on like they do.
Great effort GWS to make the GF. Well done my tigers. Clearly the best team in the comp of the last three years. Have a great weekend.

*best team in the comp for 2 out of the last 3 years

As a 47yo you would have seen some awful awful periods so well done and enjoy the good times.

Port 2008 13th (7-15)

They havent been the same since.

They had a little burst of good form in 2013-15 with Ken coming in but yeah 07 scarred them I reckon.

If anything yesterday felt worse.

From a general viewer point of view that GF was one of the worst of all time.
