Finals footy, everyone. [censored] that was good!

 

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.


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....

 

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


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

Inspiring to watch. 

Fantastic result! 7th spot to a GF. 

You've got to be happy for their supporters. 

 

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


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.

Club with unbelievable heart defeats synthetic roboclub.

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.

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.


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.

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.

 

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

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
