Guys I’m a lifelong proud Perth boy… I wasn’t inside the ground but working at a pub only 100 metres away from Optus… (we had multiple big screens accessible to everyone while working, we heard all the crowd noise, music etc.)

I have to say everything Damo said about Optus and the crowd was true. I think about 70% of all 61000 people in the crowd were neutral supporters who truly adopted a team and got merchandise for the team and really got into the spirit (an atmosphere like I have never seen before)

I think for the people in Perth who never have seen AFL before, because of the energy… there will now be a lot of Melbourne Demon converts. I’m an Eagles guy but watching that granny was one of the best times of my life. I am a traditionalist, so I think when we get on top of COVID… I think the MCG should ALWAYS be the permanent home for the grand final.

If this is the first and last one WA will ever have… the gratitude I have for being close to it is something I’ll never forget 👍. We love our footy in Perth ❤️

I was behind the goals with the Melbourne faithful as a neutral supporter, one of the best experiences in my life and it was my Birthday also! The excitement and atmosphere was amazing. Well done Demons!

Heartbroken Dogs fan here. As upset as I am I'm glad it was another battler like Melbourne, made me remember how we felt in 16 and if it was going to be anyone we had to loose to I'm glad it was Melbourne and I'm happy for them. It's a credit to Paul Roos and Peter Jackson isn't it, the AFL and Melbourne fans have got a lot to thank them for.

simon goodwin, what a man, took over in 2016 mourning the loss of roosy, has turned this club into a powerhouse

[inope]

I agree with this, I’m a dogs supporter and the sweeper really hurt us, we lost the game there.

[kiwicannon]

Kane-o's volcano was great this week haha

[craigjones]

What an unbelievable Grand Final, Melbourne down by 19 points and chase that down and win by 70, this is a miracle that I hope to witness again at the MCG soon.
Congratulations Demons

Doggies kicked 1 goal after that Caleb Daniel spot, so it definitely was a turning point

[lukeannett]

Kane... Oliver went to Bont in the 3rd quarter. Goodwin said this on the couch. Viney was on Bont in the 2nd quarter.

[craigjones]

Did Kane Kornes really tip Melbourne Football Club to win the 2021 Premiership 😮

[TheDirge]

I agree with a captains call for scoring decisions in the Finals series exclusively. Nice one TJ.

[DaveRobbo]

TJ the Caleb Daniel fling was pivotal. 20 seconds later Viney was crashing packs and Harms was hitting Fritter. Absolutely no way the Dees did not get fired up by that disrespect, and especially because they are a fair play team. From that moment the scoreline was 7 points Bulldogs, 100 points Dees. Plus it meant Max had to rest and the Doggies thought they were home. Thanks Caleb.

[brosert]

Don't often agree with TJ, but I agree on the turning point - part of it was that Gawn told Goodie to leave Jackson in the ruck and things came good....

[cjstenton]

When the play started, the crowd was so quiet! You could hear the players yelling on TV!

[paulkyriakopoulos]

Dogs are gonna take a long time to get over this . They will be lucky to make the 8 next season.

[bradheadband]

glad the afl didnt mess with the tradition of grand final week for the victorian viewers, sunday brownlow, perth grand final, after a bye week, and twilight...cheers

[barbperfect]

Won't be the same without Billy. I'll still be watching every Sunday.

[donaldthomson]

simon black you have to be kidding it was 40 simon you are unbelievable

[beverleygardam]

For Nathan Brown, you need to put Carmex moisturizing lip balm on your cracked lip .( just saying ) .

Can we stop pushing for a twilight or night grand final. The 2:30 grand final slot is great for people who can't get to the game, it's a great time to have a BBQ with mates and family and still make it home at a decent time.
Also, with the ground being empty around 5pm it's great for business in Melbourne to make a ton of money. You got to think that at least half of the crowd will head into the city after the game to pubs and restaurants with the ability to get home at a decent time.
