I think it would have been better if Freo had got into the finals than Carlton. What a debacle. Wonder what the lowest score for any AFL final is.
Just passed the lowest score in a final of 0.8 by Melbourne in their six point loss against Essendon in 1897. As for AFL (1990-current), GWS 2019 GF of 3.7 25 is the lowest.

Brisbane almost made a meal of it, wasn't going to be a happy one if they let the Blues back into the game! Should be done with that Lohmann goal though.

Commiserations to Blues fans, must be a bit unpleasant to see your chances end like that, still you had a pretty decent year though so there's plenty of hope for next season. The injuries didn't help, as they never do. At least you made the 8 (y)

Well Kane, if Port goes out in straight sets I will be expecting a real roasting of Kenny and co. At least Beveridge has won a flag. Even if Port win, their finals performance in recent years would leave Port supporters as the most let down in the AFL.

I think there may be a big challenge for the Dogs, in that some of Bevo’s positional moves have actually worked.

I suspect that will - rightly or, more likely, wrongly - be taken to support the view that his unconventional methods are more stroke of genius than the workings of a blind squirrel.

I remember him looking absolutely bereft of ideas in one match - from memory it was early last season.

If you free yourself from the constraint that you should play players in their best positions - or even that you should play your best players at all - the combinations really do become endless!
