      Well we can be clear that it'll be Brisbane vs Freo. one going for a three peat, the other the Fairypuppies equivalent for 2026.

      That rampe free was frigging dumb, but showed horrendous feel for the game as well. Umpires guessing what comes next.

        Scoreline looks like it will blow out which is misleading. We’ve given a great account of ourselves tonight.

            Getting murdered at the stoppages in this second half. We won’t Be a serious threat unless we fix that. 2022 and 2024 vibes in the second half
            My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

              The umpires should never pay a free like that until the ball actually goes up there.

              The ball was more than a kick away. it was stupid from Rampe - but why on earth are the @@@@ing umpires playing 'predict the game'. The only way you pay that free is if you guess that freo get the clearance. They didnt and it was holding the ball. If they get the clearance and kick forward, absolutely pay it.

              Just another example of umpires that don't get the game.

                We just put in too much effort into the first half and didn't get the reward we needed. And now the team is too tired to run it out. This was inevitable really. Gulden is rusty, Paps isn't fit, the forward line is missing some big names. We can win the lot, we just need some luck.

                  Our midfield has really struggled in the second half, but I think we've played pretty well all things considered. Freo had plenty of help wrestling the momentum.

                  There is no doubt given the Victorian media masturbation stakes in the C7 commentary box that, in the absence of a genuine Victorian contender, it'll be all aboard the Freo fairytale in 2026.

                    They have about 12 blokes who can run through the middle of the ground. We’ve got 7 or 8. It showed

                        Powerful from Freo. Their midfield depth is exceptional and the flag is theirs to lose.
                        Terrific effort in the first half but just couldn't keep it up.

                          one of those 7 or 8 is Sheldrick who topped out at 56mins out of 125mins.... Baffling

                            100 POINTS in the second half. How embarrassing. What is Hamling doing in the side??? I think a lamppost would have been a better option. So we can play a one and half quarters of pressure football and then we just crumble. What the point of us even playing in the finals? Some of the second half tackling was a joke.

                              Second half master class by the Dockers. They are really
                              good . If they can do that at the MCG , they should go close.

                                The plan was for Hamling to kick 4 or 5 against the best team in the comp and double his 100 game career goals

                                Backup defender, nothing else, when was the last time a player never had a possession?

                                Hannily showed a bit, Cleary is miles away
