2024 GRAND FINAL

[HoldenV8]

Just a further to my 80-84 and 20-24 comparison.....

The Bulldogs first (and only) try of the 1984 GF was scored by Mark Budgen, their hooker. Harry Grant, Melbourne's hooker, scored their first and (so far) only try in 2024.....

Good grief! We couldn’t have a GF without another BS bunker decision. What a joke!

I thought it was held up live.

I thought it was held up live.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with Andrew Johns but the ball clearly hit the ground in the in-goal. It was a BS bunker decision.

I thought it was held up live.

That was my first read live too… replay showed otherwise.

Mind you, seeing the Storm cop it is sweet with me.

 

[The '47ers]

To'o should've left the headgear on

 

[Jerry1]

Oh well that was that.

This is the most mundane GF.I've ever watched IMO. Two most predictable teams since round 1. Eyeroll upon eyeroll.
There needs to be an investigation!
And...
Go Manly '25!

absolute bludger of a game. one of the worst GF’s I’ve seen.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Jeez Liam Martin is a great player , wish he was playing for us.

 

[mickqld]

Dally M winner is MIA.

This forum discussion is boring but it’s still more entertaining than the gf game - yawn

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yep, I think Munster will be in some trouble for that. Could clearly see a pinching action on the skin as the Penny player moved his arm away.

 

[niccipops]

Munster's a Cnut but that wasn't a bite.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Think the Churchill Medal will be a tight one, I thought Isaah Yeo had a good game while Liam Martin had some big moment.

Yeo for me though.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Dally M winner is MIA.

Yep… complete non-event tonight.

 

[niccipops]

Showing my age but didn't Liam Martin used to be on the Brady Bunch.

Definitely a bite. Apart from the skin pinching action I mentioned above, Alomoti does not carry on like that if he wasn’t bitten. Why? What could he possibly have to gain?

This game sucks, the NRL sucks, Manly sucks, the referees suck.
