[@humbugandtwig8396]

😢 so sad Melbourne missing finals by 0.5% or 9 points, amazing finish to the season though 👌

[@nosirrah9207]

Good to know Melbourne can still let its supporters down for a second there I thought they would make the finals for once

[@frigger1]

Port Adelaide - we're coming for you next.

[@aggressivetimtam4535]

[@Blakeosterberg]

Can’t believe u beat Port Adelaide in the week 1 final

[@Grizzbiz57]

Loved the chase by Jetta on Cameron. Two very fast players.

[@johnkennedy5734]

Great game from Matt Crouch with 45 disposals

[@GRIMLOCKCRUSH]

All part of the plan, we did you a favour now return it in kind West Coast and knock Port out thank you. :)

[@BadgerFromOz]

Guess what happened next? West Coast knocked out Port Adelaide in extra time.

[@drapior2352]

Yeah boys final times

[@stanley4513]

This was the exact same scoreline last year too...

[@megalaxmax9979]

Eagles premiers 2017! Bulldogs did it from 7th last year now Eagles will do it from 8th

[@whodis473]

Not 2017 but we are 2018😁

[@evolvesupreme8881]

Looking back I really want Jetta to be that fast still

[@troycambo]

adel too smart to let dark horse like melb in. WCE are not seen as a real threat.

[@sleepyoufool1]

Best game of the year! Anything to kick Melbourne out of the finals is amazing 😂😂

[@sources6122]

Hey Royce your tears must be so delicious. hahaha

[@mucus8796]

these scores are the smae as adelaide v eagles in 2016!! ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!

[@drowninit8215]

See you in finals West Coast (Port Adelaide) hopefully, we can finally beat a top 8 side lol.

[@sources6122]

Claudia S Yeah my team west coast and your team port are probably the two most hated clubs in the media will be an interesting match.

[@drowninit8215]

Defiantly lol. It's kinda hard to tell who will win since you beat us and then we beat you, I guess we'll just have to see which team has more passion on the night. Can't wait to watch it.

[@Blakeosterberg]

Claudia S u cant lol because we beated adelaid 1st on the ladder LOL

[@drowninit8215]

Sources? Very Interesting

i was at this game

[@pokemonmaster4738]

They had to win by 23 points to get in they Did that

[@BadgerFromOz]

And they had to avoid conceeding a big score too.

[@bigmannivo1950]

[@chezneil1]

MY DREAM: Leading up to the game, I slowly began to think - "Melbourne needs the favourite, Adelaide, to win so badly"! But then reality set in. And what happened? This final home game definitely seemed to be manufactured! Rigged? First, Adelaide played without the Texan. 15 Love! Then the Adelaide team started to play well below their best! Not 'breaking a leg', as they say (or tanking.) 30 Love! The commentators started to emphasize the 20 point win scenario for West Coast! That is, for Melbourne to be eliminated. Alarm bells now rang even more loudly for me .... the score line was forever fluctuating between 20 and 29 points! WHY? Adelaide - were they really trying? After all, they are currently the FLAG FAVOURITES at $3.25! And West Coast ... 50 to 1. That is -rough as GUTS! I mean really ROUGH! But it means nothing over there in the Wild West. Suddenly, 40 Love. You guessed it - the outsider, West Coast, wins! Wow!! Breaking news ... Melbourne eliminated! Sorry, gone Dees!! And no Steward's Inquiry here. In a word ... something 'Stank to High Heaven' in the west that night! I mean, a horribly vile smell over Perth, that no one should have missed. A Tanked Game!! Well, game over for Melbourne, that's for sure. In a word I thought - totally RIGGED! My Dream had turned rapidly into a Nightmare..... (And if Adelaide win the First Preliminary Final easily, protests should be heard all over Australia. And if they then win The Flag in 2017, do not forget all this! - Do NOT!!! Just do not forgive, or forget. The said Stink will get so bad that even the AFL cannot ignore it!

[@chezneil1]

FIRST PRELIMINARY FINAL UPDATE: 7/9/2017. You guessed it ... Adelaide came out running fast (with 'the Texan' on board, of course.) They never once stopped - running, marking, balking ... and GOALS GALORE!!! All this, in the game after that BIG STINK in Perth. If it was a horse race, the stewards would call their own enquiry! But with the good old AFL - just a profound, yawning, reigning silence. Melbourne supporters were definitely dudded in that Round 23 game in Perth. Dudded by a non trying Adelaide. Just watch the 'MIGHTY EAGLES' now - a big flop soon looms! BAD!! Also watch Adelaide - the Crows will surely forge into the Grand Final. Goals galore. But what about the poor old Melbourne supporters - will they ever recover from that day of the BIG massive STINK in Perth? (And no - I'm not a Melbourne supporter!!)

4:56 well done Jetta a push in the back 😂

[@malohawkins6240]

Exactly. I know I'm old but the rule hasn't changed - it's just that it's not called anymore.

[@tmatt00]

side not back

[@malohawkins6240]

Don't think so. The left hand is on the back of Cameron's left shoulder (which is not the side of the body, anyway), but worse still, his right hand is in the middle of Cameron's back. Not an easy call for a gutless umpire who risks changing the course of events!

[@jbiggins4542]

Well said mr Hawkins 👍🏻 shows how much football has changed over the years

[@dylancooper1576]

TBH I think Adelaide tanked

[@pokemonmaster4738]

Every goal Crows got demons fans were excited and they were getting in the 8 but when eagles got goals demons fans were getting worried because eagles were jumping back in the 8

[@nirmalchand3950]

First At saying i am not first

[@jacksonturriff-smith2527]

haha cop that demons

[@sock1643]

To be honest, I think Melbourne deserved finals more than West Coast.

[@westozzy]

and how did you come up with that conclusion? ..... see i beg to differ because the statistics would clearly point out that by a slight margin, West Coast ended up with a better percentage to nudge Melbourne out of the finals. WC's finals berth was not handed to them in favour over Melbourne. the bottom line is West Coast worked harder to earn themselves a spot in the finals and therefore DESERVED it. your opinion is subjective which is like me saying "Brisbane deserves to be on top of the ladder more than Adelaide".... which is really stupid. end of story.

[@rhetoric_]

I mean you're not wrong westozzy, but do consider that the absence of max gawn and many of their other guns for a lot of the season did hurt a lot. The fact that west coast overtook Melbourne by single figures means that any small factor throughout the season would warrant suggesting there could be good and bad fortune. You can say they worked as hard as each other, but you can not say without doubt that west coast worked harder. Plus your comparison of Brisbane and Adelaide is faulty and you know it.

[@tmatt00]

okay then if you want to be like that ill hit you with this. Naitinui out for the season, kennedy for 6 games, priddis for that one gamewhich was stupid

[@rhetoric_]

Okay, i will admit i had forgotten about good old Natinui. I must say, both melbourne and west coast defeated 4 teams in the current top 8. Melbourne may have beaten west coast by a small margin away from home but i must say that even that doesn't give a clear indication of overall performance. Also, in all honesty for a team like melbourne to blow their chances in the final round against a team like collingwood is quite poor. However, i will not say that either team has done better or worse as it is quite evident that both finished with 48 points, a similar percentage, and overall a fairly similar track record. In saying that, i am quite torn about whether i am happy or disappointed that melbourne didn't make the eight. Part of me loves that they were on the improve, part of me loves that only 3 Victorian teams made the finals.

[@westozzy]

silva you could play the "what if" game for as long as youd like to. the shop is shut. WC have NicNat out all season. Had he played all this year WC would probably be a lot higher that 8th going into the finals. But im not talking about what ifs. WC won the right to play finals this year and thats that.

[@jbiggins4542]

Adelaide tanked to keep out the roughie Melbourne from the finals cause they know eagles aren't a real threat not being able to play away

[@frankmat]

Say that again? 😂 😂 😂

[@jbiggins4542]

Melbourne pumped Adelaide at home, as rough as they were they would be a bigger threat in Melbourne than the Eagles

[@Tantoblade1pd]

LOL @ the West Coke supporters who think the Crows were playing properly today. Obviously they were tanking just to not get any injuries, your team is still a train wreck

[@oscargordon2988]

If they weren't trying to get injuries why wouldn't they just sit them out of the game because they were guaranteed the minor premiership with GWS losing. Fremantle did it a couple years ago.

[@jyd106f]

West Coke?

[@Tantoblade1pd]

Keep up match fitness, everyone was running at half pace to try and make an appearance

[@stusux]

1pd seeing you talk on afl posts the last few weeks... may i present you with afl comment troller of the year. I bet your a collingwood supporter.
