    Default AFL 2019 Grand Final



    Shame Collingwood didn't make it in, an all Victorian GF would have been sensational
    And 2 great teams....

    But if South Oz and the VFL is anything to go by, the Tigers are looking good!

    VFL Grand Final today was awesome, with a crazy last quarter.
    The Tigers won by 3 points and young Dan Butler in his very short career (3 years) now has a AFL GF medal and a VFL GF medal.

    South Australia's GF today also saw the Glenelg Tigers take the flag.

    2019 AFL GRAND FINAL ENTERTAINMENT


    Australian Paul Kelly will headline the day’s entertainment with two rising Australian singers in Dean Lewis and Tones and I supporting.
    John Williamson will perform Waltzing Matilda while Mike Brady will perform Up There Cazaly.
    Conrad Sewell has been announced as the national anthem singer.

    What a nice change not to have an American has been for the half time entertainment
    Someones been listening


    I just hope the right team wins!

    Subiaco flogged South Fremantle in the GF over here today. They are a machine.
    Mike Brady needs a year off

    Re Richmond v's Williamstown. One a professional full time team, the other semi professional team. Was expecting Richmond to run all over Willie in the last quarter, but didn't and Willie had 2 set shots to win in the dying moments of the game, bugger!!

    Why? The problem for the Collifumble army is that you have to actually PLAY AND WIN the game, and as usual, they didn't.

    I won't miss them. Considering where GWS has come from on the ladder, it's a momentous achievement. As far as I am aware, only three teams have ever reached the Grand Final from an elimination final, and each of those lost by a new record margin.

    I wish them well, although I think Richmond will win comfortably going away after half time.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    You may have missed my ultimate season of football, the Pies getting the GF then losing by a point
    I have re-watched last years GF at least a dozen times

    The camera crossing to Eddie or Bucks is priceless

    Last year, a friend who is a Pies tragic went MIA for a month after the game

    Yes, Richmond won with a lot of LUCK, just pure luck!
    For the same player to kick the goal post 2 times in a row in the dieing moments, is nigh on impossible to achieve if you tried!
    He managed to do it for the winning goal of a grand final.... not once, but twice.
    That poor bloke, that will stay with him for life

    Willie did an awesome job of disrupting the Richmond's play.
    Very physical game
    And tense as they do the timing different to AFL.
    Those last minutes were tense.

    Yep, thoroughly agree with you, was very surprised by the standard of play

    Ooops...a mate just told me Footscray did it in 2016. They are the only one.
