2025 GRAND FINAL - Sturt vs Glenelg

[amber_fluid]

Hey ho.

Sturt easily the best team this year and today showed it.

Enjoy the night, bluesies

Me,I'm gonna drink myself into next year.

Keep your eye on the old double blue.

At least I don't have to buy a poxy cap....

The WED caps look alright anyway

well done strut, most dominant club in the comp for a long time, we never gave in, love my club, onwards and upwards

Great work from Mattner to respond to last year's straight sets exit with an exciting, high-scoring game plan; which stood up to everything all year.

Well deserved Sturt, capped off the best season I can remember seeing.

Enjoy the spoils.

Bays will come again, we are the best of the rest.

34,426 solid given the rain around earlier in the day. Congrats Sturt.. Mattner the Mesiah!

That figure looked exaggerated, thought lucky to be 28k

I thought 30-32. But inflated greatly because of the SANFL juniors' presentation prior to the game. I'd suggest maybe 15-20 if it was a standalone.

Footnote: I am amazed at the number.of sturt fans who left before the presentation. Sheesh...

Can say 100% they were getting their deckchairs and knee rugs out at Unley Oval before the tribe arrived.

Fair play to Sturt best team all year and best team today

Profs of my mob for not throwing in the towels and having a crack all day.


Reality was story were first to the footy were able to get the outside release and get the F 50 entries
Deserved premiers

Off to the club to just enjoy the people who make my club great

Bays!!

PS Boo to the SANFL for not giving us any Red Tins after the game!!

Well done Blues. Played some footy today that was easy on the eye.

Thankfully I don't drive past the Brickworks all that often.

It's not worth it anyway, I mean it's not the same as the brewery

Unfortunately, I will have to agree with you.

Would be great if they had have put it in Rundle Mall or outside Adelaide Oval's southern end- somewhere in a prominent position where non-SANFL followers would see it and be reminded that the SANFL is still an important fabric of SA.

Did they move the actual chimney from Port Road? Was it something that was feasible to do?

[FlyingHigh]

Well done Double Blues

Third quarter in particular was great to watch - good to see the Bays attacking hard to get back into it, but Sturt just too good.

Have we ever seen a more dominant season - only once conceding more than 80 points.

Whatever the crowd it’s still a damn good effort considering the VFL GF drew less than 9k today and the WAFL GF was under 24k

Best team all year deserved that flag. Credit to glenelg nothing but class from McBean & Reeves in the sturt rooms after the game.

A few observations, from attending the match as a neutral supporter.

The Pre match Entertainment was simple, enjoyable and entertaining! If only the AFL would take note

The Crowd figure was similar to last years from memory and yes, being there live it's hard to believe it was close to what they say
34,000 if true is a fantastic crowd tho.

Agree with an earlier comment i read, I exited the stadium within a few minutes of the match finishing and was also shocked from seeing so many Sturt supporters leaving as well and not staying for the Presentation

Sturt far too good and predictably won.
-20.5 offered by the Tab was a Gift $$$$
Feel sorry for those that took Sturt to win 40+ as Sturt started celebrating early allowing Glenelg a few cheap goals in junk time to bring the margin back to 31.
