Still look back on those two 2018 finals wins, amazing! After all the bad years from 2007 to 2013 and we finally saw a flag in 2021. I can't wait to get back to winning finals.

[@TheNeutralViewFromSwedenAKAHer]

I am a soccer and rugby fan who follows AFL a little bit. Overall an entertaining game and the only remark I have is that it can look a bit low on some skills. Saying that, in this highlight reel there were some real gems. Is it just me who watches too little "footie" or was this game actually filled with some unusually high skill moments?

[@sliat1981]

Dusty Pink it’s not AFL, it’s a code not a sport. It’s Aussie rules. That’s like saying kids in the park are playing “A-League”

[@mikespearwood3914]

sliat1981 actually it's Australian Football: the oldest organised game of football in the world.

[@Sean-me4fv]

SLIAT1981 He doesn't follow Aussie Rules, he "follows AFL a little bit." Personally, I don't follow the VFL or the WAFL, I only follow the AFL. Perfectly reasonable to say that. Similarly, there are soccer fans who follow EPL and others who follow A-League. Nothing in his comment says anything like the kids in the park are playing AFL.

[@sliat1981]

Sean French then he would say I follow “the” AFL. He calls the others sports what they are, soccer etc

SeblsFIFA, I have a hunch right now that it will be a Tigers/Demons Grand Final. What are your thoughts? And now that Hawthorn have been knocked out of the finals in straight sets for the second time since their last premiership in 2015, that's one more time than what the Cats ever got knocked out of the finals in straight sets since our last premiership in 2011, despite us finishing in the top 4 with the double chance on 4 occasions during that period with only 3 wins from our last 12 finals' matches.

[@AH.111]

Looked at the stats during half time, we were winning every key stay but were losing cause we couldn't convert. If we could kick straight, we could be looking at a very different result here.

[@karmic-fleas]

Hawks won Inside 50s, Hard ball gets, They took 58 marks, with two players under injury cloud in Mitchell and Hardwick, and they were losing the hit outs. Melb need to do better.

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

Pineapple_123, the Hawks had 3 less scoring shots than the Demons. Lost by 33 points. How on Earth could straight kicking have made a difference? It would have only made the losing margin closer.

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

SeblsFIFA, the Magpies are no more likely to beat Richmond this time around than on either of the 2 previous occasions when they played them and lost to them this season. Richmond will do a number on them, similar to what they did to Hawthorn in the Qualifying Final. If the Tigers have at least 10 more scoring shots, and I think that they will, then they will beat Collingwood by anywhere between 40 and 60 points. And regardless of how much that Collingwood loses by, it's time that they copped some long overdue criticism from the media for their poor winning percentage against top 8 teams this season. I am sick and tired of hearing about how brave that Collingwood were every time that they get beaten, yet whenever our team gets beaten by anyone they get whacked from pillar to post. This is completely and totally unfair.
