Where does the 2021 Prelim rank for you?

Re: Where does the 2021 Prelim rank for you?

I was stranded on a sultana farm in Mildura, watching with the farm owner who I'd only met a few days earlier and who was a die-hard Port supporter...safe to say it was an interesting mood at quarter time!

Nobody would've beaten us that night - just felt like everything fell into place perfectly.

After watching 7 losing prelims in a row, I am still glad we made the big dance in 2021.
We no longer just accept we're going to lose if we make it to the second last week in September

The 2021 preliminary final was sick, right through the week of the media and the AFEL watching public in general all piss and moan about umpiring in the Brisbane game, to the SA government's draconian treatment of us, and Smithmania.

It's great that everyone acknowledges that's where the season stopped as well.

Seriously, what we dished up was absolutely sublime and an amazing thing to see. It's not often you win a prelim, let alone in such style.

I'm not too sure why some on here are pretending 2021 didn't happen. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Melbourne won a tier 2 final fair and square. Are we gonna use this thread to also start poo pooing the saints' wizard cup while we're at it? You guys are strange.

Yeah this is one of the best aspects of the win. We've absolutely nailed 2 prelims in a row. Those demons are gone.

Unfortunately they were replaced by new demons only a couple of weeks later.

Re: Where does the 2021 Prelim rank for you?

It would have to rank as one of the clubs greatest wins that is for sure, was just a magical night, we obviously did what we did in 2016 and that was out of this world especially taking into account the last game of the season v a Freo side we should have won pretty easily.

But the way we controlled that '21 Prelim from the start was something most of us couldn't see happening, travelling all over the country side took it's toll in that last game, but we wipe that one, but even the week prior to the Prelim living in Brissy that night was just amazing, and probably also one of the greatest Dogs games i have attended, those Lions thought they had it in the bag and would win easily, so when that siren went my god, for the few of us Doggies supporters at the game was just wild, great great night and boy, those Brissy supporters were flat, that was brilliant in itself.

Sounds like the beginning of a new Wolf Creek movie.

Is a sultana farm just a grape farm?

It?s close to the most perfect game of footy ever played.

Could watch it again and again.

Yes, like a vineyard but the grapes are grown and turned into sultanas instead of wine.

I can’t explain it and also don’t know why I’m telling everyone this but I have a phobia of sultanas and being on a whole farm of the things is like something out of Saw to me.

We are not the first or last team to lose a GF by a lot.

The Swans were thrashed by 81 points in the 2022 GF and are so far are the premiership favourites 2 years after.

GWS although they did not win in 2023 made a prelim from their lowly position early on in that season when they were struggling and they got thrashed by the Tigers in the 2019 GF.
