Still anyone's game. It's a game that has been mostly won by tackling. Anyone would think it was NRL

I wonder now if the Melbourne Storm will win by kicks into the corners where their wingers will take the 'marks'?

Don't worry Alinta - most people who grew up with Rugby League just don't understand it anymore either.
It's one of the dumbest codes of sports in the country these days.

Considering that even the best player in the world would need to be match fitness ready and able to slot into the role, I very much doubt it.

Yes. The Finals have been by big margins/one sided affairs - not close.
The Crows looked the better in the first quarter, but then the Tigers just ran away with it after that.

Was a bit scrappy. Not really many good passing/short kick controlled motions. Very scrappy, many tackles paying off than anything. Lots of air-balls into anyone.

But good to see the Tigers finally get up.
Maybe next year it will be the Demons?
Seems its all the rage in both codes to see the droughts end.
Hell, the biggest Losers - the Sharks finally won a Final after 50 odd years! Shocked

Richmond might just take it this year cods- a 37 year drought they say- I was with Richmond when they had Cousins but he died in the backend and was never the same
