It’s a sick joke if you ask me. A potential 17-4-1 season and we don’t host a game at our beloved MCG throughout the finals, and then face Port at AO in the grand final for a cherry on the sundae.

Can’t wait for 2022.

They most certainly went our way when GWS beat Geelong, Essendon beat Dogs and St Kilda beat Sydney a couple of weeks ago.

Bont 5 touches in a half of footy.

And Brisbane if we win I guess.

If you’re managing 3 scoring shots a quarter and your star player gets a lousy 15 touches, you ain’t winning a game of footy.

That guy is so overrated

Decent goal by Wines there.

Dogs couldn’t possibly be this accurate in a final.

Another reminder for the Dees that straight kicking wins the crunch games. I was stoked we kicked 16.8 last week after 9 inaccurate weeks. Only 1 premier since 1990 has failed to kick more goals than behinds in at least one game in their respective finals series - and that was West Coast in 1994.

Ladhams is quietly one of the best set shots in the league. One to possibly be aware of next week.

Because they have the nutty professor coaching them.

No Bont no Dogs?

Dogs might stumble over the line but they’re not screaming premiership fancies to me.

You’re right it didn’t. Case thrown out. Very good start by Port.

If partners , kids, grand parents, swimming teachers and nanny’s aren’t invited to Perth, then the Adelaide Oval will host the Toyota 2021 grand final. You can take that to the National Australia Bank.

Was it? The goal umpire called it a goal and the video wasn’t exactly conclusive. 999/1000 times they go with the goal umpires call in an inconclusive call. Port were stiff.

How was that Boak goal overruled? Dogs are always getting the rub of the green.

Bont first goal! This guy stands in our way of premiership glory.

Good on ya mate for taking one for the team. Enjoy the 2 hours of fresh air tomorrow.

Mate, I’ve got no idea what you’re on about but if you live in Victoria you won’t be attending finals this year. Our case numbers were a disgrace today. Hopefully in 2022 we can all attend finals, utilise our GF guarantee tickets and win the flag.

ANB is having the absolute epitome of a "career year" The amount of times this year he's stepped up to kick an important goal when we needed one. The MCG boundary snap shots against Richmond and GWS come to mind. Sure he's not perfect, he's a had a couple of poor games and won't be anywhere near the All Australian side. However, he's had a very good season overall and doesn't let 1 or 2 early errors define his performance. I was hoping he'd stick around after 2 promising late season games against GWS and Essendon last year, and he's more than upheld his end of the bargain. Hats off to ANB for a very good H&A season.

First has played on the following nights over the last few years since Thursday night finals were implemented: 2020 - Port - Thu night 2019 - Geelong - Fri night 2018 - Rich - Thu night 2017 - Adel - Thu night 2016 - Syd - Sat arvo Knowing the AFL, we'll probably cop a 4 day break and be the pioneers of Wednesday night finals.

I think last year kind of set the precedent in changing grand final dates.

The way COVID/delta is destroying most of the east coast and now probably NZ, are we even going to have a grand final? How can the AFL book in a grand final elsewhere and do it with any confidence?
