Well done Bays.

Is that the second time Lally has been BOG in a reserves GF?

[stampy]

maybe small consolation for our club but thats 5 years in a row that either the reserves or 18/19s have won a flag, just got to teach the league boys how to do it

Matty Webber for the reserves job?????

[Jim05]

Both the losing Grand finalists got what they deserved, both had more scoring shots and lost. No excuses for poor kicking

Obviously not good enough for the next step

[mighty_tiger_79]

I think Lally just needs more of an opportunity

well done Tiges, good turn around from 2 weeks ago

[stampy]

agreed mt, o'grady also imho

Crowd probably about 15000 in the ground at the moment - 20 minutes before the bounce. But there are plenty outside enjoyoing the sunshine and bbqs.

[mighty_tiger_79]

i hope that whoever the new coach is - moves on some of the players who are in the league side and gives some of the younger/ressies a chance at league level and not move them between league and ressies like yo-yos


i expect centrals to win by around 3-4 goals

That was my other thought, havnt seen a lot of him but to win 2 ressies BOG's would suggest he either isnt quite good enough or hasnt been given a lot of chances. You would think he would be looking at greener pastures if nothing changes next season

Parade of champions motorcade on the ground of - Under 18 state players - state Women's Football reps - lots of kids with the Football Development program - looking very colourful.

How many people there?

How many people there?

above they said 15000 with people outside having BBQs

will there be at least 25000???

[Macca19]

Going by the tv i'd say about 22-23000

[Macca19]

Actually probably a bit more than that. Maybe 27-28k
