Yes, he always seemed to matched up on players bigger than him. The amount of crunches he took in packs and would just get up and go again. Can't even imagine what it would have been like some years the way that footy would just keep on being rammed into our defense and he'd just keep putting his body on the line. Always will be a favourite for me and I hope the club keeps him on.

A thing of beauty. Our game is beautiful and our team is the best in the world at it. Love it

Not sure if it's been mentioned but one of my favourite post game pieces was Goody and Tracc doing the presser. Really honest and from the heart. Amazing how he shared that he shed a few tears on Friday night before the game. How proud he was of the group. Really worth a watch. "Goodwin: 'Unbelievable emotion that's attached to 57 years'" https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1021682/goodwin-unbelievable-emotion-that-s-attached-to-57-years?videoId=1021682&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1632592576001

The media focus has been on Jones but Gee Nev has been a true leader at the club. I sent Nev a message Saturday around lunchtime thanking him for getting us to this position and all the joy he's given us watching him play with so much courage and skill through those dark years. He sent me back a message at 2.30 in the morning saying "I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did" It was a wonderful gesture by Kysiah to try and give home his medal. So good to see the whole squad involved throughout the whole final series. The way past players, families and supporters have been acknowledged along the way What a wonderful inclusive club we have.

Tell them you'll buy the red and blue ones off them at a discounted rate once they lose. Oh or just shoot all the white ones.

Thanks to everyone on Demonland and best wishes to you all. After all the analysis and articles I've immersed myself into this week, I reckon we've got this if we do one thing well. KICK STRAIGHT! I'm sure we'll deliver on every other element Of our game today, but we must convert our opportunities. I think it's going to be a close one. We can do it. Enjoy demonlanders.

I was up before the sparrow farted. Every time I think of the game I just picture Gawny holding up that cup. Into the garden for a few hours now to burn up some nerves

Abbey May is awesome and I expected nothing less from 7 than to give her half a song.

This year's channel 7 marathon has a focus on the best commentated games of all time by Brian Taylor and James Brayshaw................

A simple game for simple blokes. Watching my first game of the year to see if Wayne Bennett can get the Rabbitohs into the granny. 71 year old who's coached at the highest level for 30 odd years I think. Amazing achievement

Got him for the norm Smith at $21. Can't wait to watch him go to work

Geez I didn't think I'd be this nervous this early! Mason Cox glowing in his praise of Max and having a vent at all the rule changes. Nice! https://www.theroar.com.au/2021/09/24/he-works-his-[censored]-off-why-im-all-in-on-gawn/

Abbe May is playing the grand final pre game. She's one of my favourite female artists. Channel seven will probably giver her ten seconds.

Just seems like a super nice bloke. I swear his arms extend out an extra half a metre in marking contests. I like the way our match committee usually gives blokes coming into the team a couple of weeks to find their groove. It's paid off in spades with Ben

Evidently "it's on trend" or.... Julian O'Neil is rooming with them and pooed in his shoes

Finished mine yesterday. Nice way to drink beer

I made the mistake of watching offsiders on the ABC on Sunday morning. Kellie Underwood started by calling Geelong the oldest club in the competition (maybe she was talking about the players?) And then trotted out the grand final match up between the working class Bulldogs and the Melbourne inner city elite. this fifty year old stereotyping drives me nuts.

That was hilarious when Jack picked Maxy up! BTW who was on Gary Rohan last night? A One posession game! It would be great to see a Gary Rohan highlights package.

It was really good not having BT or Brayshaw on the TV commentary last night. I forget the bloke's name that did it last night, but gee I hope he gets the gig for the Granny.

Thanks @Demon4Life Glorius day here, so gardening and beach but will watch a replay tonight before the other prelim. Any recommendations on which commentary is best to listen to? SEN, ABC, 3AW or MMM?

@DemonJack 14 I'm so impressed with the way this club is keeping everyone included. The badges at the ground, the ticketing info, embracing the WA bandwagon, it's so good. Would love to be at the G for the granny but it's just not meant to be. I really didn't think Goodwin was up to the task last year. I wrote an angry email to Gary Pert after that Port Adelaide debacle. Geez was I wrong. I feel bad for the likes of Jetta and Jones on just missing out on this opportunity. It is so impressive how the footy department and club has kept the whole squad together and part of this thing. To see every player over there and singing the team song together as one big team was just fantastic. I feel so proud of this footy club today. Win or lose the Granny, I'm going to have to send Gary another email thanking the club for the way they've navigated through these strange times and just delivered in spades for us this year. The dark times have made the success this year so much sweeter.

There's no need to brag and.... we destroyed them!

That was the moment I got emotional. This is not about the 22, it's about everyone. Jones, Jetta, you ,me, all of us. This year is different.

Geez that photo made me shed a tear. Hope they show the boys. What a man, what a smile

Yell your guts out for us Morgs!
