Cats supporter here. This was a bloody heart stopper of a grand final and the best one I've ever seen. I really do feel for St Kilda, though they deserved it just as much as we did. It's a shame they lost twice in a row, but the Saints are coming! They'll be a powerhouse again in no time!
very nice of you man but I'm not so sure about my team. They need to prove themselves in 2019 and if they don't then who knows how long it could be until we win another flag...
Soccer is the greatest and by far the most important sport on Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Soccer is the universal language that every nation on this planet loves. Afl is massive in 4 out of 6 Australian states. Still and always will be a minority sport in Qld and NSW. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 and every suburb will love soccer and every suburb will have its own soccer club gdjsr
if there is one team I want to see win a grand final it’s the saints. They’ve deserved it after these really unlucky chances at a flag. They deserve it more than any club in the AFL
Will go down as one of the great Grand Finals like the 2002 GF played in a similar way with similar conditions. No team wanted to give an inch but the experience of Geelong in the end was to good. Thanks again @sportjunky4371

@@traviscollins6401 05 and 06 were just boring games played with not much spirit and soul, and they were only close in the last quarter. 02 and 09 were proper football games that were tough, played with so much spirit and soul, and were close all match. I know what I'd prefer
Chapman, Kelly, Rooke, Ottens, Ling, Mooney, Johnson, Enright, Corey, Milburn, Scarlett, Bartel, Selwood and Ablett. This Geelong side was a juggernaut. But St Kilda remarkably were arguably the better side that season.
Yes, for St Kilda in this 2009 AFL Grand Final match, it's gonna be a heartache tonight, as the US rock band The Eagles said 30 years earlier, in 1979. And they were right, the 2009 AFL Grand Final once again ended in both heartbreak & tears for St Kilda, as they suffered their 5th AFL Grand Final loss in the history of the club.
I remember being absolutely exhausted from just watching that grand final. The best battle of the cats modern day flags. If it was any other team than Geelong I would have loved to see the Saints win one. They were the best team I have seen not to win a flag. Hopefully the drought ends soon for them (just not against the cats!)
Free kicks have ruined this sport from the get go, fine the athletes if you need to but dont just give points away then you wont find out who the better team is
Rubbish. Key Forward for Geelong in two flag teams, he kicked 5 goals in the 2007 GF ffs - wasn't the best KF in the history of the game by any stretch, but he was a very good fit for that dominant Geelong team; he and Steve Johnson formed a lethal 1-2 punch as forwards.
How is it that channel 10s coverage from 13 years ago is still better then channel sevens today

@Patrick SALT nah give us 5 more years and if there's no flag, then I'll agree
@Patrick SALT They made the finals this year. Maybe 2021
Aged well 😆
@@solomonerhardt Hahha... yeah woops :P
11 years later, as a Collingwood supporter, even though I already know the ending, it’s still a nail biting game.

sweat lord and Melbourne
sweat lord they do
2020 is their year
Except that are trash
John Jasiewicz no
One of the all time great midfields. Very underrated I feel, Hayes, Goddard, Dal Santo, Ball
The handball and shepherd by Trav Varcoe was just so team oriented and smart
Matthew Scarlett's toepoke will down as the best play in grand final history
Nick Daicos’ collect and handball to De Goey while in mid air will go down as the greatest play in GF history 🙂

@@mufc383 when?
A wonderful, gruelling, magnificent fight it was - Tim Lane. Great game and the toughest GF since 2002 especially in bad weather
You are joking hahaha. 2005-2006 were decided by 5 points in total
@@traviscollins6401 deciding a game by scoreline, what a dipshit

Watched it over my TV. In Werribee. Sweet Time.
As a Port supporter, I was barracking for the Saints
they don't make em like this anymore
Chapman's goal is like a Gary Morkroft mark
Ross Lyon 👍
5:37 That's not a goal.
Watch it on .25 playback speed. It's a goal
@JohnnyAppleseeds That speed is so blurry you can't make out anything and you need multiple angles to interpret it.
YOU CANT BUY GRAND FINALS
Siren at half time should have signaled the end.
Classic game
this game was only 6 point win to Geelong what a game
IGoneBad 7 points
12 points
Those transitions are horrible on the eyes
i hope that goal umpire was sacked! Disgrace
Why?
@@paulborg1956 The momentum of the game completely changed when tom hawkins kick smacked the middle of the post but the umpire gave it a goal
If Dawson the worst full back ever hadn't made the under 10 error to begin with, it wouldn't have happened at all.
The Cats beat St Kilda and the umpires that day.

Saint Kilda their players are sooks
Cam Mooney most overrated player in afl history #FLOG
