AFL: Dogs lose according to advertisement in The Age

Oct 09, 2016, 01:25

"In spite of the disappointment of the Grand Final loss, the Bulldogs showed incredible heart and sportsmanship until the final siren, led by skipper and VU student Easton Wood", the ad said.

Beveridge edged out the man who will be his adversary in Saturday's grand final, Sydney's John Longmire, to claim his second consecutive AFL Coaches Association (AFLCA) Allan Jeans senior coach of the year award on Tuesday evening.

"I feel like those sort of things tend to even themselves out and credit to the way the Doggies went about it", Kennedy said.

Seven's combined metropolitan and regional average audience was 4.089 million, up 16 per cent from Hawthorn's victory over the West Coast Eagles in 2015, while the number tuning into the match peaked at 5.16 million around the country as the game reached its thrilling conclusion the last quarter.

The Age newspaper has been forced to apologise for a major "stuff-up" that saw the Fairfax outlet run and advertisement that commiserated premiers Western Bulldogs' "loss" in the grand final.

If you're a non sports fan, the main talking point is that Melbourne beat Sydney.

Club president Peter Gordon told 3AW Sunday was also about the team giving back to their supporters.

The Bulldogs' Jason Johannisen won the Norm Smith Medal as the best player in the Grand Final.

Earlier in this finals series, Bulldogs midfielder Jack Macrae said he had mixed emotions about the widespread love and support they were receiving from around the AFL.
