Is there any particular reason why every #DallyM award is named after Dally Messenger and not, for example, individually-named awards honouring other legends? Keep the Dally M POTY, keep the name of the night as well. Genuine question, don't yell at me etc
Nothing against Shai Bolton who's had some great September form but Will Ashcroft decided this grand final in key moments. The votes are cast way too early in these games and it means we sometimes don't get the right result. #AFLGF
@lmeyrick don’t act like you’ve never asked for Brett Kirk Medal votes midway through Q4
Among other things we’ve witnessed today, three flags in a row without hosting a prelim is crazy. #AFLGF
I just can’t imagine this is fun for any Fremantle or Brisbane fan. It will be. Later. But not now. #AFLGF
On a night like this? Nice try, AFL. On a day (2:30pm) like this. Forever. #AFLGF
between Sam Switkowski’s retirement and Lachie Neale heading to the Pies, this stat remains live for another year btw
my favourite footy stat - no AFL premiership team has ever lined up again. Brisbane name 21/23 from last year’s team, with Levi Ashcroft and Oscar McInerney in for Conor McKenna (emergency) and Joe Daniher (retired) for Saturday’s rematch with Sydney. #AFLSwansLions
It took way too long to occur to me that East Fremantle can’t lose the #AFLGF premiership cup presentation on Saturday 🦈
2027 idea: Norfie Time, where they blast the “Kanga Kanga Kanga” chant over the speakers. 12,000 Kangaroos fans going nuts
happy to take whatever the “16 minutes plus time on” version of the #Brownlow is from now on
I know this wasn’t the point of that beautiful video but Nathan, Nat and Shaun have had insane longevity for Perth commercial radio
Do the South Australian AFL teams get enough heat for their respective 29 and 23-year premiership droughts?
“Interstate” team fans, particularly from the west, bring a different energy to Grand Final week. Genuinely hope everyone enjoys the week - save the crippling anxiety for game day, Monday to Friday is the fun bit. #AFLGF
Chris Fagan quietly ascending the list of all-time great coaches for finals wins. Already has more than Hardwick and John Kennedy Snr, now joins Longmire and Pagan on 14, chance to level Blight next week.
He didn’t coach an AFL game until after his 55th birthday! @abcsport
