You said it. Everybody I texted during the game was absolutely stoked to see them get kicked off the park. We were all Dees tonight.
Jam that square up your arses Geebung.
**** and your bottomless salary cap.
**** and your overpaid, under performing handbag toting superstars.
**** and your Dads army V2.0; all those staged retirements each season and you STILL have a dozen players over 30 list clogging.
Just a big waste of time now wasn't it?
May your fall from the eight be as swift and brutal as ours was, and sooner the better.
Yep Lazza. Gawn and Grundy were on a par in 2018/19, Brodie even slightly ahead. Since then Max has continued to improve and get better in all aspects of the game. Meanwhile, Grundy has gone backwards.
What happened? There was the confounded contract and the impact of Covid. All players were subjected to the latter, so

Absolutely piedys!!!! Plus one more - **** with the privilege of your own stadium!!!!
Demons will make their first Grand Final since 2000.
Pretty sure they'll make a better fist of this one than 1988 or 2000.
They were unlucky in 2000; peaking against that white hot Dopers list, but far from disgraced on the day.
Hoping Welfare and Chowder belt the shit out of each other in the process.

Damn right! Cry us a river puddy tats; game wasn't at Kardinia Park, or whatever sell-out name it's called from one year to the next.
It's really just more lipstick on the pig, at the end of the day.

Brilliant captain's game.
Not just this game. e.g. Look at his Q4 against the same side where he kicked that goal after the siren to deliver the minor premiership.
Re. "best ruckman", he and NicNat have been the two AA ruckmen for two years running, so if you believe the AA selectors then NicNat is his only competition... Also, fastest player to 5 AA selections...
But awful kick.. (That hook!) But wasn't a problem tonight...

2016 the umpires blatantly cheated the whole finals series to win them a flag.
It's happening again.

Do you realize that Brissy knocked WB out of the top 4 in the last 20 seconds of their game against WC, when the last quarter went for almost 40 minutes??
The Age said twice that there was a timing error... Bloody big timing error. How can a quarter go on for 10 minutes more than normal? Did you hear any whingeing about a 40 minute quarter that cost WB a top-4 spot? I didn't. It's gobsmacking.
Lazza wrote:How good is he? Gawn has reached superstar status tonight. Unbelievable.
Watch and weep Grundy.
No, not watch and weep Grundy.
Not to watch and weep, but to understand.
Understand how he can connect with our mids.
And for our mids to understand how to destroy an opposition with a dominant ruckman.
...
Dunno how folks can still believe it's about "connection" when Grundy also turns the ball over by handball and foot, not just by hit out. Who is he failing to "connect" with when he handballs under no pressure straight to e.g. Flip in the clear against Hawthorn?
Lazza wrote:In all honesty, tonight has seen the gap in quality between Gawn and Grundy pwiden to Grand Canyon levels. As a one eyed Collingwood fan I hate to say this but I find it difficult to believe that Grundy can reach the levels that Gawn has.
Not too sure that it was the contract that initiated his horrific loss of form, confidence and dominance but whatever the reason, the reality is that Grundy is a class below Gawn and a shadow of his former self.
Ummm, did you see the rest of the Melbourne team play? Name the passengers the u der performers? The green kids? The whole damn team was super slick! When Gawn was tapping out there were players positioning themselves for him, you know as is their job. Yes indeed, Grundy could only dream! Much easier to play well if those around you are too!

Somewhere on the net is the umpire calls for and against, check out who is no 1 on them all, also check out their finals records, and where those calls are. I don’t want an advantage I want a fair playing field, so to whoeverfound those extra seconds, I salute you and Thankyou ,

Yes to all of this! Please please please! At least now my worst nightmare grand final combo cannot come true. The thought of having to favourthe, in any game was not a nice one!
