Extraordinary quarter from WB. There is no doubt, they are led by an extraordinary coach.

7 put up a graphic with two minutes remaining in the half that the last time scores were level at half-time in a Grand Final was back in 1909, South Melbourne 2.9 (21) v C*rlt*n 2.9 (21).
They needn't have worried because at half-time in the 2021 AFL Grand Final it's:
Melbourne 5.9 (39) Western Bulldogs 7.5 (47)

Melbourne playing extraordinarily soft football. Unless they harden up, they will lose this by 10 goals. A couple of them took hard bumps and the rest are watching carefully and conducting a straw poll before deciding whether to go in for the ball.

Keep it coming doggies. Great fight back in the second qtr to get back in the game and take the lead. Love their pressure. What happened to eastern wood? Some sort of hand injury by the looks of it.

Good quarter by Treloar but back to his usual stuff at the end when he shirked the issue.

And let's hope it stays that way. Dogs are hungry and want this.

They weren't soft in the first quarter. Alot of the reason they might appear to be soft is because the WBs have massively hardened up. WBs ground ball energy during that quarter was massive, and Melbourne suffered plenty of perceived pressure.
They defiitely need Oliver and Petracca to take a stand.
