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

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
