Guys I’m a lifelong proud Perth boy… I wasn’t inside the ground but working at a pub only 100 metres away from Optus… (we had multiple big screens accessible to everyone while working, we heard all the crowd noise, music etc.) I have to say everything Damo said about Optus and the crowd was true. I think about 70% of all 61000 people in the crowd were neutral supporters who truly adopted a team and got merchandise for the team and really got into the spirit (an atmosphere like I have never seen before) I think for the people in Perth who never have seen AFL before, because of the energy… there will now be a lot of Melbourne Demon converts. I’m an Eagles guy but watching that granny was one of the best times of my life. I am a traditionalist, so I think when we get on top of COVID… I think the MCG should ALWAYS be the permanent home for the grand final. If this is the first and last one WA will ever have… the gratitude I have for being close to it is something I’ll never forget 👍. We love our footy in Perth ❤️
@J G you dont get it mate, Aussie rules is THE best spectator sport in the world. Soccer epitomises all the things wrong in our society in a sport. The corruption of the admin, the hooligans, and the lack of on filed scoring make it boring to watch.
I don't think it will, even though they'll never admit it I think eventually the AFL will want an interstate GF every year, even if it takes 30 years. COVID has just been the perfect thing to use to get the crowd used to it. As for the night GF, again the AFL will never admit this but they've wanted that for years and again COVID was the perfect thing to use to get fans used to it. That could be permenant as of now.
@J G Lol. If soccer is a better sport than football, don't you think we would have seen it overtake football in this country by now? The migrants get their sons to play soccer, but the sons of migrants get their sons to play football. It's been happening like that for over a hundred years. Hell, I used to play soccer myself & I can't watch it.
I was behind the goals with the Melbourne faithful as a neutral supporter, one of the best experiences in my life and it was my Birthday also! The excitement and atmosphere was amazing. Well done Demons!
@J G man just stop. Soccer is my favourite sport, but I absolutely love AFL! It is unique sport for us Aussies and so good to watch. The build up to the GF is one of the best feelings you can experience as a supporter and no feeling is greater than that in any sport around the world!
Was plenty of faithful around the ground (including me), not just behind the goals... As a Priority 1 member (GF guarantee) I enjoy watching the footy with a few drinks, sadly that particular spot where the cheersquad was, is "alcohol free" which frankly is ridiculous, would have been great to be in there, but was happy in block 112 either way.😀
Heartbroken Dogs fan here. As upset as I am I'm glad it was another battler like Melbourne, made me remember how we felt in 16 and if it was going to be anyone we had to loose to I'm glad it was Melbourne and I'm happy for them. It's a credit to Paul Roos and Peter Jackson isn't it, the AFL and Melbourne fans have got a lot to thank them for.
Has this same comment been copied and pasted onto several TH-cam videos since the Grand Final got played? I've seen exactly the same comment written by you word for word on at least 3 or 4 videos.
What an unbelievable Grand Final, Melbourne down by 19 points and chase that down and win by 70, this is a miracle that I hope to witness again at the MCG soon. Congratulations Demons
TJ the Caleb Daniel fling was pivotal. 20 seconds later Viney was crashing packs and Harms was hitting Fritter. Absolutely no way the Dees did not get fired up by that disrespect, and especially because they are a fair play team. From that moment the scoreline was 7 points Bulldogs, 100 points Dees. Plus it meant Max had to rest and the Doggies thought they were home. Thanks Caleb.
Don't often agree with TJ, but I agree on the turning point - part of it was that Gawn told Goodie to leave Jackson in the ruck and things came good....
glad the afl didnt mess with the tradition of grand final week for the victorian viewers,sunday brownlow,perth grand final,after a bye week,and twilight...cheers
False… doggies are a great side, that was just a massive choke towards the end. The worst case scenario I see for the doggies next year is losing in the Semis. I disagree with your pessimistic comment 😂
@@mattyey that's my opinion this is a loss to be scarred for life. They have no hope of recovery. Team has no good tall keys rucks. Naughton failed badly.
@@paulkyriakopoulos3444 I disagree…. Take the dees for example… 9th in 2017 pumped in 2018 prelim by 70 against the eagles in 2019 they won only 5 games lost 17 In 2020 just missed on finals again Since the exceptions of 2018, 2021… the last time the dees made the finals was in 2004 lol Western Bulldogs have an amazing side… so if anyone thought the dees were gonna take the flag in 2021 after they finished second last 2 years ago… I would have thought they were smoking crack. The doggies are a finals club so I disagree with your completely pessimistic future prediction. But having said that, one of us will be right and the other one wrong next year 👍
The Bulldogs are more likely to have a Grand Final letdown than the Demons. The Demons have got an excellent opportunity to create their own dynasty, and they are not going anywhere in a hurry. The Bulldogs overachieved by reaching the Grand Final this year from 5th. Most teams in recent times that have gotten to the Grand Final from outside of the top 4 have struggled big time the following season. The Bulldogs of 2016 and the Giants of 2019 failed to make the finals the following season. Your prediction could be very accurate.
Why is it that according this panel you are a better supporter if you live in Melbourne not Perth or anywhere else. Why was watching the GF on TV a hardship - the rest of Australia does it every year. The only way it will truly be the AFL is when the finals are played all over Australia including and especially the Grand Final.
Absolutely. Hopefully this is the beginning of the Grand Final being held in every major AFL city on a rotational basis from one season to the next. In a national competition the Grand Final should NEVER be exclusively always played at the MCG. And twilight Grand Finals are the future. Saturday afternoon day Grand Finals are outdated.
Can we stop pushing for a twilight or night grand final. The 2:30 grand final slot is great for people who can't get to the game, it's a great time to have a BBQ with mates and family and still make it home at a decent time. Also, with the ground being empty around 5pm it's great for business in Melbourne to make a ton of money. You got to think that at least half of the crowd will head into the city after the game to pubs and restaurants with the ability to get home at a decent time.
Because a twilight Grand Final may not work for all of us foreign fans. The GF in Perth was a 2:15am start for us on the US West Coast, when it would have been a 9:30pm time for us on the US West Coast, if at the MCG.
@Lats Niebling For AFL, the SCG is 136m long and 155m wide giving an area of 21080 square metres. The MCG is 141m long and 160m wide giving an area of 22560 square metres. The GABBA is 138m long and 158m wide giving an area of 21804 square metres. Stop believing the myth that the SCG is small. It’s not. It has been debunked numerous times. Decades ago it was a small ground, not anymore.
Day time finals are a thing of the past. Maybe you should go and support your local league if you want to watch day time finals. Every AFL final these days gets played with a yellow football either at night or twilight.
@@darrenmiles-morland8038 I do support local footy, why wouldn't I? I don't have a problem with playing all the other finals at night but the grand final should be day time so you can celebrate the win after!
a big moment for perth and bigger for melbourne but it was the same old story of a team running out of legs in a granny and getting thumped and thats bad for the sport.
It's so amazing that all the Melbourne supporters were locked in their homes by a facist government and couldn't celebrate the victory with family and friends
The gf entertainment was politically correct crap. A tribute to WAs biggest band, "thunderstruck" to get the crowd goin! And for gods sake a national anthem u can sing along to. If I wanted the opera I'd be at the Opera! But being a dee's fan don't change a thing!

Congratulations Demons
Doggies kicked 1 goal after that Caleb Daniel spot, so it definitely was a turning point
Just made himself look like an idiot when he was trying to look tough

I agree with a captains call for scoring decisions in the Finals series exclusively. Nice one TJ.
Did Kane Kornes really tip Melbourne Football Club to win the 2021 Premiership 😮
Kane... Oliver went to Bont in the 3rd quarter. Goodwin said this on the couch. Viney was on Bont in the 2nd quarter.
Correct, Viney was smashed by Bont in 2nd Qrt
Don't often agree with TJ, but I agree on the turning point - part of it was that Gawn told Goodie to leave Jackson in the ruck and things came good....
When the play started, the crowd was so quiet! You could hear the players yelling on TV!
