The Big Dance - Grand Final Day, 2017

[John Crow Batty 8,240]

Relax all, our improvement trajectory points to us being the next Adelaide.

[Moonshadow 16,157]

Dylan Grimes gets a premiership medal. Good on him

[Dee tention 611]

Adelaide just lost the Premiership & Jake Lever... lol

Richmond by far the better team after quarter time. Being at the game it was all over from then. Crows were very boring!

Well derserved Richmond! But htf did Dusty win Normie? Houli, Rance, Edwards anyone. I thought the game was won down back.

Nostrils...

Another boring Grand final ...another western Bulldogs premier...no injuries ..soft draw & hunger...was at the game ...no way dusty wins norm smith...hello jake lever ...def comes to us .....that is why Goodwin is & will be a great coach ...we won't rely on one player & everyone can play multiple positions...Walker ..?...betts?Jenkins??cameron?...more talented ...but desperation knocked them over...disgusting tigers supporters mcc!!

[loges 6,011]

Flag won with 4 quarters of intense football, how often did one poor quater bring us undone. Need to bring 4 quarters each week. Probably only achieved once this year against Bulldogs.

Ridiculous.  Essendon were far and away the best side in 2000, I was there, I was gutted.  But it wasn't "disgusting"

No doubt they were the better side...and should have won the game either way. What was disgusting was the way our senior players let our young players get physically smashed with zero retaliation...it was embarassing.

Coming up against a team that is way better than you is a great opportunity to be a spoiler...the pressure is on them not you. we rolled over in that game...such is our nature.

Walkers speech as pathetic as the Crows performance 

Watched that again and I reckon Pyke (when the camera went to him) was fairly [censored] at Walker for such a lame effort.

[Sir Why You Little 34,430]

Adelaide didn’t stand up for these two

Pretty lame effort

hopefully it wacks them hard

Pyke's effort was at east as bad. Comprehensively outcoached and didn't fire a shot.

Begrudgingly admire Richmond's management last year:  Added Naismith, Caddy, Prestia and a 2018 first round pick and the only real out was Delidio.

And they have landed the trifecta:  Brownlow, Norm Smith and Premiership.  They did it with one of the youngest teams in the comp.  

They now have two 1st round draft picks with young Naish who was among the best in the U18 today (and touted as a top 10 draft pick) as a father/son for them in this draft. 

Hate to say it but they will be there abouts again next year.

Unlike others on here I just don't see us being anywhere near close to a Premiership.

Exactly. Home Games in the NT must stop soon. Sure cost us this year, as did other games. But after the 2 NT games we limped home...

Yep. Populist decision

Think the AFL would have wanted Houli.

Well, get used to travelling there, Hobart and Kardinia for another year or two, 'cause that's what's going to happen. We're broke, or close to it, and have one of the lowest supporter bases.

Goodwin is not a great coach, hopefully he will be but he is not.

It took Hardwick quite a few years to become a good coach. Even longer to become a premiership coach.

[Demon Disciple 10,918]

Congratulations to the Tigers as well.

Their manic pressure is what set up their great year and ultimately the premiership.

Wasn’t aware we were broke or close to it, unless of course you are talking emotions

Disagree strongly. They had a dream run with injuries this year, barely had a player of note miss a game and had an easy draw due to finishing 13th last year.

Teams will figure out how to counter there small forward line and they will be back with the pack.
