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

    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.

    Watching Eddie on Foxtel dragging Collingwood into the conversation. Shut up - it's not about you!!!!

    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!!!!

    Bob Murph is a great bloke and deserves the accolade he never got.Which doesn't make any snese.

    And if Cronulla win tomorrow night I will have the double - Parramatta will have the longest drought - currently 30 years. One of them better win it soon.

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

    I'm very happy that Suckling didn't win another flag.

    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.

    Didn't see that coming.

    Brad Johnson gave Johannisen 3 votes.

    Carey didn't give him a vote in top three.

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
