Boyd was great, Johannisen absolutely butchered the ball today but got plenty of it, Picken was very good, but Kennedy was just sensational.

 

He was brilliant in the second half

Yes but the Swans won't smash the best young Doggies forward in the throat, early in the game, sending him off to hospital, or nearly paralyze the Doggies ruckman, when he is bending down trying to pi

On top of that, that you can't win a flag from outside the top 8.

Digging through threads on bigfooty, I got hounded when I said you can't understate the pressure and skill of finals football, that ANYONE can win it if they believe they can.

It is hard to win a premiership when you don't make the finals.

They were favourites for the spoon last season, premiers 18 months later. Hopefully makes the footy world, and Melbourne in particular, realise it doesn't take the better part of a decade to rebuild a quality side.

The Doggies have just destroyed a whole bunch of assumptions. Winning from 7th, with a huge injury list, not a glamour club, and with a solid list of non-stars, with only a few exceptions. This game is as much about collective psychology ('buy-in', if you wanna call it that) as anything. It's truly a TEAM game, and they've just proved the essence of it.

I hope Egan understands Clarko Footy.

Clarko footy will be surpassed soon enough. Footy has phases and generations. There was Roos/Lyon footy. Then there was Bomber footy. Then there was Clarkson/Beveridge footy. What next? Let's hope Goodwin footy.

The head tells me I am crazy, but genuinely think the Dogs will win this by about 20 points. If they are within 3 goals at quarter time they will win it. Am also tipping some Buddy inaccuracy will burn the swans and Johanison (sp?) to get Coleman

Wow!!!!

Heard Matt Suckling interviewed on MMM just before. Sounded pretty flat but he does have one from Hawthorn to keep him warm.

I think the winning from 7th was the general bye with all clubs having a rest.  Changed the dynamics of the finals and took way the advantage of the weeks rest. Interesting do see how it plays out next year.

A lot of things changed today. The pre-finals bye makes the GF accessible by the entire top 8. The old days of the coach being separated from the players was dying but was put to the sword today - Beveridge relates to the players as players, and embraces the emotional part of the game. You do not need a star to win a flag - you need sacrificial team footy. Cometti retires so commentary becomes less exciting and articulate.

The bye has certainly changed the dynamic of the 8.  First year its ever happened and the 7th placed team won the flag.

That is a great thing.

It is not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of fight in the dog.

How great is it to see the Dogs get up.

I have seldom enjoyed a GF so much

It gives me hope for all the small clubs in the future.

Dreams can come true.

I hope you are right. But I also think Clarko footy is a step in the evolution of the game, not a transient phase.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
