Have been trying to get all the exact figures from pieces here and there. Haven't found all of them yet, but more than enough to give a very high confidence that it is correct.
Herald Sun (02/09)
"The Eagles rank 18th and 17th for ground ball gets and loose ball gets respectively"
AFL.com.au (25/07)
"You won't find the Eagles scrapping as much on the deck, given their groundball-get differential of -205 across the season – ranking them 18th"
In the QF against Collingwood, we were +15 for the last quarter alone.
Fox Footy posted during halftime that we were +19 at that point in the Preliminary Final.
Melbourne lost the contested football count for only the third time this year.
I honestly still don't understand the ground ball statistic to be honest.

Watching the replay atm. Man that first half was something else. Controlled the ball so much that Melbourne couldn't get it off us and when they actually managed to get the ball, they made mistakes that we punished ruthlessly. Completely mind****ed them.
On a side note, it was glorious to the players were instructed to implement the Hawthorn-like knock-ons which mainly brought us positive results. Such 1%'ers really end up making a critical difference by keeping the ball moving to advantage rather than getting wrapped up in a tackle and losing momentum.

Holy shit it was a good win! Love how we brought the contested game because we identified we had to, to match them... so the majority of the rest of the year we didnt bother cos we didnt have to? LoL

Cant overstate the addition of the much maligned Redden & Jetta combo again this week. Jetta is just so cool when the heat is on. Redden just gets it done and seems to be a leader out there as is always barking instructions and usually one of the first to get stuck into the oppo if they **** up or are trying something on with teammates.
Vardy, Cripps & those 2 are all proving to be very astute pick ups.

Congratulations. Just way too ****ing good. Do it again next week and the flag is yours. Your team doesn’t really have any weak links.
No two ways about it, Darling's left footer and Hutchings later bounce were pure luck, but as you say, sometimes these things happen when nothing goes right for your team.Congratulations on an immense performance, and a spectacular win. There were times I was questioning why you got so many jammy bounces and rebounds, then I remembered that the team with momentum generally gets the 'luck' - its the way footy works and why its a great game. At no point did we have that momentum, you absolutely strangled us. Enjoy the week ahead, and I hope to see JJK in particular win the flag he richly deserves
We opened the pies up with a kicking gameplan that used the full width of the MCG earlier in the year. If we can do it again, hit targets by foot and have Vardy, Darling, Lycett and JK take contested marks or at worst punch it over the line when we go long to the posts, we will win this game.
As for our one percenters, it's great to see that the guys know when to use it and when not to. I feel like Richmond overdo this, especially Cotchin for example, he always soccers as far as he can, could pick it up more than he does.
Our players seem to understand that sometimes you take possession, sometimes you tap into space.
There were so many good shepherds throughout the game, great to see.

Hutchings has really cleaned up his kicking he's becoming a solid player for us.
I dunno where to start. Was at the game and the atmosphere was electric. Best supporter base in the business. Watched the first half on replay and my God was a performance.
I woke up with no voice. Old lady in front on me texted her friend (gigantic old person font size) complaining about the "loud F&#(%^ers" around her. I'm doing my part.

Is there a replay on tv today by any chance? Listening on the radio sounded insane yesterday...listening to the first half, it was hard to keep a straight face whilst at work (in retail so can't just walk around fist pumping and yelling in excitement)
Kudos to Simpson and the coaching admins.
This is a well oiled machine where each player knows his role and performs it (Cripps, hutchings etc) and how our captain wasn’t AA is a joke.
Has held together and actually improved as soldiers have gone down and provided a 2015 implosion doesn’t occur, proud whatever the result.
Suspect we will miss Mitchell next year.
Gaff/Lycett, why wouldn’t you want to play with a side that shows this much heart?

You'd think with their experience they'd know better
.Your blokes had 2 more H&A wins and a tighter defence than Melbourne, plus you were playing at home.
I hope your supporters cleaned up on the odds!
Again, congrats, just one more win

Can anyone please do a GIF of Julie Bishop recreating the bounces in the stands?
Classic vision.

Brilliant summary.
Also add Masten to this. Wasn't in many best 22s before the season.

You want luck watch Lecras faintest scrape of his boot goal ..
Masto wouldnt have been in anyones 22 at the start of this season.
A well defined role for him that suits his strengths and hes juat doing whats asked.
Here2tellyouwhy
SA GREAT
KOTD?
Things are going well when you can miss the ball entirely and it hits the back of your trailing leg for goal.
Ball clearly deviated on the replay, correct decision was made.
Commentary had a complete sook over "not enough evidence" for the next five minutes however.
