Football club defeats franchise.

Nice story from Clay Smith. He's made his mate proud, wherever they are now. Just one job left to do.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

That's us next year.

[chook fowler 19,432]

The supporters got there egg and bacon roll and a win.

[Diamond_Jim 12,510]

Just shows that had we played better in those last two rounds... who knows..... but of course we were young and tired

This year was up for grabs....

[SaberFang 7,151]

Heartbroken for Bob right now. That must hurt in the most indescribable way, despite the joy of the occasion.

[chook fowler 19,432]

Libba's 'do' isn't flattering

[P-man 13,366]

Well done puppies. Good for footy.

[Demon Jack 6,850]

Congratulations Bulldogs. Perfect example of a team that has rightfully earned their right to play in the Grand Final.

Inspiring to watch. 

[SaberFang 7,151]

Hope you feel like crap right now, $cully.

 

[Macca 16,900]

Fantastic result! 7th spot to a GF. 

You've got to be happy for their supporters. 

 

[In Harmes Way 7,730]

I'm absolutely stoked for the doggies fans and can't wait for our turn. Hopefully today plus tomorrow lights some fires in our boys' bellies

[McQueen 17,864]

Gee whiz I feel for Bob Murphy.

In the AFL system for so long and in the year he's recovering from a knee injury, whilst Captain, the Dogs make the GF.

Must be mixed feelings like I couldn't understand.

Gotta love the Doggies.

Personally I think we've got a long way to go to matching them. Sure they didn't win every week in 2016 but one thing they did give every week was 100% effort. No way this mob would have dropped games against Essendon, Carlton the way we did. They are a credit to themselves. We have a lot to learn from them.

[chook fowler 19,432]

We shouldn't forget Macca's hand in this

[SaberFang 7,151]

The Dogs are just epitomised by one united attitude: they never, ever give up.

Our team needs to learn a thing or two from the attitude of their players, instead of picking and choosing when to turn up. No other team's supporters would feel as proud as Dogs supporters right now.

[titan_uranus 24,963]

Not only the result we all wanted, but a cracking game of football as well. That was some seriously good stuff.

I've got Dogs-supporting mates who are crying with happiness.

I can't wait until that is us.

[Pates 9,655]

Very happy about this result, watch the rough 23 bye be given the flick for next year! 

Cpuld this be the year of the unlikely premierships, first Leicester now the Dogs?

Get stuffed GWS, have some heartache before you get results.

Don't think those GWS boys were thinking "oh well, we're just a franchise".

Brisbane, Adelaide and West Coast were all clubs created out of thin air in the same way GWS and GCS were, but I don't see anyone wailing about the success they've had.  The vitriol towards GWS is based on nothing but envy and I reckon it's childish.

[titan_uranus 24,963]

First team to make the GF from outside the top 4.

Also the first Victorian team to win two interstate finals in the same year.

Also the first year neither team who won the QF and had the week off made the GF. Whether that's a coincidence with the Round 23 bye) or not will be debated, I'm sure.

Yes but it's fun
