Arguably the most racist country in the world.
2 hours to go @Gman . I think the Bulldogs could surprise the dees. Atmosphere around Optus Stadium simmering nicely.
What an occasion this is.
Who could begrudge the Dogs in any normal year. But I’d love to see the Demons do it for Jimmy Stynes and Sean Wight.
Here’s a classic Melbourne-Footscray match of yesteryear to whet the appetite. The last ten or fifteen minutes are fantastic as Melbourne fight back to win and knock Footscray out of the finals race on their own ground, and then they hear that Hawthorn have done them a favour in another match to put them in the finals for the first time in donkey’s years. What passion!
Is this on in Melbourne?
Nice settler for the dogs there. Dees in control early. 15-7.
3 quickfire goals for the dogs to start Q2. 3 point game.
What a quarter for the dogs. Outscored demons 6 goals to 1. They lead by 8 at the half.
What an outstanding contest this is you won’t see better sport anywhere in the world this weekend.
A tale of two quarters. Feels like a real Grand Final too, unlike last year. Perth is great alternative venue.
Proper afl city, not a bastardised rugby town. Dees very inaccurate, a shade the better side but not reflecting it on the scoreboard. Some Mark there
Give Bonte the Norm Smith right now. He’s been inspirational.
Just makes huge plays when they need it.
Caleb Daniel just made clean shite of Max Gawn. Statement of intent there
Surprised at the lack of a reaction from the dees
Shit, this is a game and a half!
Dees looked dead and buried but 3 goals in 3 minutes have them 1 behind.
2 quick goals for Fritsch and one from Brown and only one in it now. The premiership quarter living up to its reputation
The Dees are coming
Demons take the lead.
Goal kicking has been exceptional tonight.
24 unanswered points for the dees since this. There’s the reaction.
6 goals on the spin from the Dees!
