Worst possible outcome. GWS vs Pies. Has there ever been a worse final? 

Gutted for Brisbane.

    The soulless GilWS into a prelim, how boring. 

    There will be room surely for them to fit both their supporters into the G?

    At least it isn’t at their home hole with the amplified canned cheering  ?

    3 of the 4 preliminary finalists are playing very average football.  So many clubs will be looking at this years as a big missed opportunity.  

    (Richmond will win at a canter)

    Tomlinson ???  Gee, I dunno.

    There is literally no one to root for next week. I probably hate Richmond the least but knowing that at least one of Collingwood/Giants and potentially the Cats are in the GF is nightmare fuel. Eagles, Bulldogs and Lions were all far more tolerable options and they're all out! [censored]!

    Brisbane forwards have been a disgrace this quarter

    They kept bombing down the line to the area where the Circus had a spare.  Silly strat.  Then when they finally switched the ball across HB (on one occasion only in the last), they got it to a free in Robertson who instead of keeping the ball live and bouncing up to the Arc,  launched it from the wing resulting in a shallow ball inside 50 which was easier defended and that was that.

    He looks VERY ordinary at best.  Another list clogger.

    He was complete rubbish. 7 possessions and had a direct turnover which resulted in a Brisbane goal.

    Full credit to GWS at the end of the day. Showed composure when it mattered.

    We identify a need for outside run and the bloke we identifies plays in the ruck.

    Can't believe Fagan didn't get Martin back on until about a minute and a half to go.

    Was a little proppy with about 10 to go and went to the bench but you need to have your best players on the ground, especially the followers, in that last 5 minutes.

    Nice throw by the Circus which got the ball going forward for their winning goal.

    $600k... puts him into the top ten at least pay wise. Is he worth it ????

    Brisbane have had their chance... remember when we sold them wins

    Go Giants

    Played ruck for about 20 minutes approx SK.  Looking at the rest of his game he had little to no impact unfortunately.

    Our last 12 seasons, bar one, have ended even quicker WWS.

    Yeah, I did hear that RN , just watched the last quarter and I am being a bit dramatic but I was underwhelmed.

    Ugh so the premier will come from collingwood, giants, tigs or cats. I might just build a bunker somewhere and come back out half way through October. This is the worst possible outcome. 

    I do not want any of them to win. 

    But watching brisbane dominate in that final quarter was like watching melbourne. Had the ball but could not convert. What was with the players kicking to the boundary, why did the forwards all lead to the boundary. 

    Chris Fagan would be very frustrated.

    One of the worst umpires finals I can remember. They really lost control of it in the first half and Lions did a Dees in the second

    Richmond and GWS granny. I hate the filth and Geelong. I give GWS a good chance next week.

    Brisbane like us also got too many players sucked into the contests and leaving a GWS player to get free over the back in their virtually empty forward line with a couple of minutes to go was very callow. Back line should have been packed solid. Enjoyed Stefan Martin’s game though. Monstered the Mummy.

    Notice in the first half at least the number of times the ruckman took possession at the centre bounce.

    Duhhhh..... Goodwin

    Frustrated for a couple of weeks maybe..

    Bloke would be rubbing his hands together with the team he’s got on his hands. This years achievement was premature.

    Id kill to have what they have. They play for keeps...something out players don’t do. It’s all too hard..

    Luke Hodge retires - what a career he’s had. Looked tonight like he could have gone around again!

    What a game by Charlie Cameron after getting that injury in the first minute. 

    Hyper extending the elbow. Wow that would be so painful. But he played a cracking game

    • 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.
