I really like how Adam Simpson's message to his players was around heart, mind and gut. Sometimes you can have all the skills and ability in the world, but it just comes down to your emotional resolve. At the start of this film Simpson said it was about family. And at the end Bucks was consoling his son.

[@ryanwells6805]

That grand final had everything marks,spoils ,bumps, run down tackles ,goals from every where credit to both teams was a awesome game

[@adriang6259]

Too much commentary and not enough from the coaches, especially in moments that I thought would have been poignant. I shows the cruelty of grand finals, though.

[@blakera2750]

Never thought I'd sit through a replay of this game. Great video! Awesome insight into the coaching and how much of a ledge Buck's is. So hard to lose a GF on a knifes edge but you can't be unhappy with either sides performance on the day.

[@mtblife7826]

The best part about this video is the crowd reactions. The look in people's eyes and the expressions in their body language is amazing to witness. This game means so much to so many of us and we are all feeling the loss this year. Hang in there everyone. Stop the spread and we will see our game back.

I REALLY wanna watch this game again while listening to Simpson. He's such a great guy, and is responsible for WCE's amazing culture. Coaches are important but I don't think the eagles would have been anywhere near this GF without him.

heartbreaking as a pies fan, but The thing I love about this game is the amount of sportsmanship that the players, coaches and fans have. They all wish each other luck and congratulate them when they win, or when they lose. And I will also say, great job to the Eagles, and to Adam. Great job to Bucks too, he did an excellent job as coach, and it’s heartbreaking for him to lose 3 grand finals as player/coach… makes me very sad.

[@Kristianmac426]

As a Collingwood supporter, I just hope Buckley can experience the feeling of winning a premiership too, same as both the Eagles and Swan were able do during their period of dominance. No matter how much you prepare, the level of luck required to actually win the premiership is monstrous, and no team has a right to be blessed with luck, or receive none at the same time! Two great clubs, massive history and both are benchmarks of the competition!

Every footballer sportsman or woman that reaches the pinnacle of playing at the elite level is a success story.You are all winners and admired. Yes , we all want to win but at the end of the day you , your families, and fans, all win out , It just depends on how we measure ourselves, others, sport, and life. Our character within is what truely defines us in terms of who we really are., And the people around us that make us better human beings for that we all win.
