Fork 'em

I remember back in '88 and 2000. Media talked us up like we had a chance as well. Playing 2 of the most dominant sides of those eras. None of it matters when the ball gets bounced.

Reminds me of an American Football coach Vince Lombardi. The Norm Smith of the Green Bay Packers if you will. The Packers only used about 3 plays, 1 in particular repeatedly. The whole competition knew what they were. But they had to stop them from executing them. Which they couldn't. Good teams don't need tricks or plan Bs. They just need to consistently execute Plan A.

At our best we destroy them.

Considering we're in lockdown it'll be on the phone with my sister and old man. Cannot even show up to the 'G' to give the players a heros welcome. What a forken fork up.

Mark Williams.

Well they're in it so they can win it ..... But I doubt it. We've got the impenetrable backline with 2AAs, inform forward line and amazing midfield with 3AAs. What no-one mentions is our choking game plan and unrelenting heat on the ball carriers.

Understandable. As they say 'You're only as good as your last game." Both teams flogged the opposition in their Prelims.

Kick straight and it'll be over by 3/4 time.

Kid like that would have been on the ball and dominated in the junior ranks.

In a few years time the football world will look back at 2021 and say "Well of course Melbourne won it. Have a look at the list. Gawn, Petracca, Oliver , May, Lever, Viney, Brayshaw, Langdon, Pickett, TMac, Brown, Fritta, Jackson , Rivers .... They had a rock solid game plan with all those guns playing for each other and on a single minded mission."

If we won the flag and dropped away like they did I'd be fuming.

Getting sick of Bevos whining BS TBH. I prefer Goodwins "Anywhere ... Anytime." mantra myself.

And still not as hot as us.

Nah ...... Wouldn't mind if Bowey took it TBH.

So who gets #2 now Jones is gone? Petty ?

The boys are gonna do what they've done all year and take the forken flag. That's what they're gonna forken do. Kick straight and we'll be celebrating by 3/4 time.

Spent near the whole year on top and come GF day the boys will come out and show the football world why.

Been flying the flag out the front since Gawn kicked us into top spot. Thursday night the missus takes delight in telling me a geelong poster had appeared on the front fence across the road. "Meh .... The Demons will rip that down for me tomorrow night." Was gone before I even got outta bed sat'day morning. How sweet it was.

Brownlow - Oliver. 1st goal - Brown. GF winner - Melbourne 52pts. Norm Smith - Oliver.

I'll be by myself watching the game so I don't miss a second of the best team in the comp in full beast mode. Dogs won't know what hit 'em.

Loved Gawn giving out high 5s to the trainers when he got back to the middle.

Goody copped abit of flack for spending big on defenders Lever and May. Paying off big time.

They've got the chance. Now they've gotta take it. And they'll do it with both hands. It'll be the best team in the competition unleashing all the weapons. And we've got plenty.

Spent the whole year on top of the ladder. Beat every-one. Strong all over the ground. Just put together the best game I've seen a Melbourne side play Goin' in absolutely red hot and just gotta do what we've done all year on GF day. Show every-one why they finished on top. And they will. And it will be glorious.
