Melbourne v Geelong Highlights | Preliminary Final, 2021 | AFL 

And to think we finished 17th two years ago… So proud of the boys! Bring it home!

Perth definitely deserve the grand final. Optus has such a great atmosphere.

Melbourne played so good. As for Gawn's performance, wow.

Cats fan here- firstly congratulations to Melbourne, it was their night, outstanding from the first bounce. They played the way I feared they would! They’ve been the best team all year (as the ladder proved too) and would deserve the flag, I can’t see Port or the Bulldogs stopping them. As for us, well I didn’t think we could serve up a poorer performance than we did against Port but we somehow managed it- we looked completely spooked, slow and spent! The coaching team take a huge share of the blame of course but, for example, you can’t account for so many players being unable to compete and take pretty straightforward marks so many times. Of course Melbourne just didn’t let us play our game either. We were just well and truly run over by a superb, energetic, well drilled side playing at the top of their game- very tough to actually choose Dees best player as they were all on it for the whole game. Tough watch for us obviously and a lot of work to be done now. It’s the familiar frustrating feeling in recent times, specialists at making the 8 (which deserves credit) but too often we’ve been not so special when it has really mattered, putting in all the good work throughout the season to ultimately not turn up for finals. Just a side note- I heard some commentators praising the umpires which I couldn’t believe haha, I genuinely thought they were terrible most of the game with soft frees and the “high” tackle awards especially. Not an excuse at all by the way, all teams get calls for and against and we were deservedly beaten, just an observation some clearly disagreed with!

The demons won because they had like 11 people kick a goal. They have depth in that Forward line.

dees gotta give credit to the perth fans for chering u on so loudly proud to be part of the 58,600 fans at the stadium lets go Perth lets go dees GIVE THEM HELL

A 200cm ruckman kicking 5 goals. Who would’ve thought. This is a perfect team. Were Geelong even there 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Geelong simply don't have a gameplan that works in finals. Been brutally consistent since their last premiership in Home and Away season considering salary cap but have an abysmal finals record. Melbourne need to stay humble if they want to win the Grand Final too in my opinion.

Red and blue lights this is how good optus is

The universe has aligned and the footy gods have spoken. It doesn’t get much better than that. An epic win 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I can’t wait too see Simon Goodwin when Melbourne win the flag He will be soo happy which makes me happy

The demons controlled the whole game. Just as the Bulldogs did. 2 amazing teams for a great looking grand finale

Wow we are into a Grand Final for the first time in 21 years and I can’t believe it! I hope May is alright 🙏 #giveemhell 🔴🔵

Thought Melbourne would win but didn’t expect that.

As a cats fan the dees have deserved this

WOW THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE - A Mauling in a final. . . Good Luck Dees ! ! !

Hope Melbourne win the grand final. Good seeing them up the top after all those yrs down the bottom of the ladder.

What a game for the dees it was over at half time

Up the d’s, their ball movement and pressure is what you need in a flag winning team

This was beautiful to watch

has anyone ever seen a ruckman play like that

Soo excited for the dees to be making the GF I’ll definitely be cheering them on GOO DEES!! 🔵🔴

10/10 performance by Petracca. Best mid in the country currently.

Ouch! As a Dons fan who just started watching AFL again after a good 15+ years, I definitely wouldn't of seen them making it back to the GF before the Bombers..

Sad Geelong Lost 😭, but good luck in the big dance dees, I’ll be rooting for yas

In the past 10 years, the Cats have been in 6 prelims....won 1

I love that the dogs are in. Wouldn't mind if either one wins, but I'll be going for Melbourne. From a west coast fan.

The fans were actually loud, and I was at the game

That was a fantastic game and a Brilliant match. 😊 😊

It’s frustrating being a Geelong supporter. All of our effort in the home and away season gone to waste. It happens every year, something needs to change.

So the 3rd and 4th best sides in the comp Geelong & Port Adelaide lose by a combined total of 160 points dees & dogs way to good could be a high scoring grand final

For those who don't know - MFC went on to win the GF the following week with an even more impressive display. Simply unbeatable in 2021.

I’m a mad cats fan but all the best to Melbourne in the Grand final, Just not the cats year

21 YEARS AWESOME

I don't like that they didn't interview anyone from Geelong before the press conferences. I get that they lost, but if I was a Geelong fan, I would want to hear from them, especially since I'm going to be devastated myself.

That third quarter is going to be an inspirational video for the future years of footy .. 😈🔥 That is how it's done ✅ ( Gawns tackle on Rohain 🤦 GTFOH😈)

Yep did not expect something like that, god damn

Geelong love prelim finals.

Sad the cats did not make it but dees dersve it after an amazing season we will bounce back in 2022 cmon cats

Geelong were just witches-hats for this game. What an outstanding performance from Melbourne.

what a nailbiter

What a beautiful night this was 😍

Who scored 6 goals in the 2021 preliminary final? Geelong.

As cats supporter I think dees deserved it

Let’s all pray for Nathan Jones to play in the Grand final 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It's Coming Home ❤️💙

Wold be great if you could upload the highlights 11 hours earlier

Dees were phenomenal all night🔵🔴🔵🔴

One Game away from Greatness

GO DEES!!!!!!

Melbourne definitely derives it the most enay way so proud of them go dees

⬛⬛ E ⬛⬛ The Max Gawn show. 11 09 2021

Congrats Dees, no matter who you play in the granny you'll go in as favourites.

a disappointing result for gawn only lost by 12 points in the end

YEEYYYYYY 2022 PREMIERSHIP IS OURS UP EAGLES💙💛

3:50 was a blatant throw and I'm a Dees fan. Doesn't change the 9 goal haul in the first half though

Well done Dees, glad your supporters now have something to look forward to besides chardonnay and cheese platters.

Only just realised that Maxy's first goal, the ump seemingly didn't realise it was touched

Go Melbourne 2021 Premiers WOOOOO❤️💙❤️

Ben Brown in a Grand Final, where he belongs.

Finally, the dream! Go demons from Italy!

MELBOURNE 2021 PREMIERS! GET IT TATOOOED FELLAS! WE ARE IN A GRAND FINAL!!!

Go Dees!

What a close and anticipating match! Melbourne hung on to win a thriller by 83 points :p Sorry SEBISFIFA, your cats had a good run.

Melbourne v Western Bulldogs should be a classic. Melbourne by 3 points. 13-9-21

Geelong should’ve played Daniel Andrews in the midfield last night He would’ve shut Melbourne down.

It’s a beautiful sight watching the Dee’s thump the cats. UP THE DEMONS.

Port supporter here - I'm confident we can take the Doggies out tonight. Not so confident about beating this Dees side in the granny though. There is just too much talent in that side.

GO THE MIGHTY POWER FOR THE FLAG IN 2021!

What a smashing

A lot can happen in a year

Watching from India 🇮🇳

That seals the deal. I am no longer a Cats fan - I've been a fan since 1901 and a season ticket holder since 1918. I officially will not be renewing my plan next season nor will I watch them on my TV ever again. I am taking my membership to the Pies where they know how to run an organization.

Good job dees

Great game haha

Be honest Adelaide oval or Optus Stadium

As a South Australian (Norwood fan) I wish you guys the very best against Port.

The Power will win the flag! Can't wait!

Geelong need a coach who can actually develop players and has a plan B. Stealing every other teams best players (Danger, Twohy, Rohan, Cameron etc) and using the same game plan that Bomber Thompson had doesn't seem to be working. Goodluck to the Demons.

I like watching this game cause my Brother follows the Cats ! 😁😁

IT’S BEEN 57 LONG YEARS, BUT WE’VE FINALLY WON THE PREMIERSHIP! YEEEHAAAWWW!!!!

Let’s go dees

Suck it Cats !! From a tigers fan

Ggs Melbourne you were the better team

The whole of Australia is gonna celebrate when port loose the prelim

My Dad Steve’s Team Is Happy

GO DEES YEAHHHHHH WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

Geelong : We are Geelong, the gre - hold on, are these lyrics correct?!

Finals rampage on their way to the flag!!

Up the mighty Dees!
