Well done Doggies. I think they're the worst Premier in a long time, but credit to them they did it the hard way.
Well done boys!

Congratulations to the Dogs! Best team in the finals when it counts.

My older brother would be over the moon as a Doggies supporter.

I didn't see the whole game - only the last ten mins - so can't comment on the umpiring, but it is a great result. It's fantastic to see loyal fans of a struggling club finally obtain the ultimate reward after so many years, and it's great to see a young developing team climb over so many obstacles. Any team that made it past The Weagles, the Hawks and two AFL bullshit Frankenstein teams deserves everything they have.

Based on the last ten minutes, I also think that the future of the game lies with leg speed and youth. The Dogs beat the Hawks and the Swans bcause they were still running when the older teams looked out on their feet. I think this is good news for us as well.

Well done Dogs, messed up both AFL love childs - GWS & Swans .
Sydney were terrible (just like 2014) got nothing out of Franklin, McGlynn, Papley, Rohan, Tippett. They could only muster 10 goals...pathetic.
