Congrats @shark
Crusaders in SRA, Demons and Suns got to the big dance and just fell short.
Your year bro

That was simply sensational. Amazing. Pretty emotional after so many poor years, the hope built during the Roos years up until the 2018 qualifying final loss followed by two more wildly inconsistent years and now a premiership. I've been a Dees fan since my time in Melbourne from 2002 - 2004 so this has been a fair while coming but nothing like the 57 year wait some have endured.
Great first quarter then we really copped it in the second and early in the third. The Dogs built tremendous momentum but that whole time I had faith one quick goal could re-ignite us and so it transpired. Some of the stats are nuts. Petracca's record posessions, Fritsch with six majors, kicking 11 or so in a row and the record GF winning margin. Wow. What a way to do it. So, so stoked.

That was an incredible second half from the Dees. Hard to pick what it was that flicked the switch, maybe Bontempelli having a spell on the bench just when they had the Dees on the floor, maybe should have gone for the jugular but great result for Melbourne and great for Maxxy and his NZ connections

What a weird GF. Was a great game and a blowout at the same time. Never seen anything quite like it.
Very happy for the Demons. Great to do it for Neale Daniher. I doubted them halfway through the year but they got in stride in the final half of the season and never looked back.
I think that Geelong win in the last round was enormous for their momentum.

My favourite game of the whole season. The smugness of Geelong bought down several pegs.
