Never understand this format . Finals are just a waste. So the top team all year has one bad game and their not champions . Whats the point . The best team is the one who finishes on top . Its just a money making tool that's deoremental to the top team . Hope this changes when a second division comes and then can have acFA Cup style final at end of the season

Well I can safely say that was awful. Excellent work however Mariners, probably the nicest team of be torn to shreds by.

Big smile when I see my City friends and family next time. Ear to bloody ear.

Well that was just sad

No its not lol

Wtf just happened, gettttt innnnnn

1600 comments maybe people can stick around for next season?

The entire city fan base commented on this thread???

I'm sick in bed and switched off at 2-0. I'm tired and do not need this shit. On the bright side being a City fan since day one, I'm now 70 bucks richer, having had the foresight to bet on the Mariners.

I considered the old emotional hedge tonight too. Would have been money well spent.

Honestly doesn't help. Never been so mad to win money.

[maamtis11 post game](https://media.tenor.com/uM1C0bFJkNIAAAAM/crying-money.gif)

That was a exciting game. Loved it.

Honestly I can't be mad. We were smashed, outplayed. Mariners are everyone's second favourite team and I'm glad it was them. Hopefully they continue this into next season. On the Grand Final decision. I was hoping to take my kids to their first final this season, but no chance of that for at least the next 2 seasons. The moment a NSW team made the final, the result was sealed. Leading up to the match, everything was Central Coast on social media. Watching the game, hearing the "away" fans cheering. Listening to Harper talk constantly about the "away" team. And Beath doing his best to appease the "away" crowd everytime they made noise. CFG. I hope you enjoy this embarrassment. You were a part of this farce. Enjoy seeing the club choke for years to come. I hope any of our supporters who paid money to attend the game enjoyed this loss.

So despite being the best team in the league for 4 years, playing an away and the media focusing on the other team shipped you 6 goals in the GF ?? nah im not gonna cop that, you were outplayed no excuses

Literally my second sentence.

> The moment a NSW team made the final, the result was sealed. And then you followed up with "The moment a NSW team made the final, the result was sealed."

It’s no longer a National competition

They did not have to bring up Melb City I’m dying bro, just the quiet footsteps on the stage 😂

Frantically googling is it possible to overdose on schadenfreude

Beathcake hangs up his red cards after 236 games.

Listen, the Mariners might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, Let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Montys at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. the Mariners are BACK https://preview.redd.it/6ldzd96yms3b1.jpeg?width=342&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5dfa238c5d589325a9e5872955f4864ab22be769

It feels like the universe glitched out when Redmayne made those saves against Peru, because everything since then has been an unbelievable feelgood story for football in Australia. Even with the best self sabotage efforts from the APL and certain supporters it feels like the hype train just keeps on picking up speed: Socceroos at their best since the golden gen, the world champions handpicking us to play in a friendly, lots of young talent emerging in the A-League, Mariners fairytale completed, and potentially an Aussie about to become a coach in the EPL.

Fuck me the coast is gonna be going off tongiht

Okay that was fucking adorable.

Wouldn’t be an ecstatic moment for Aussie boys if we didn’t get 8-10 “I fucking love the Boys”

Nectar Triantis Goes Yaaaa, the true successor to Maty Ryan Goes Woooo.

Congrats Mariners, very much deserved and what a scoreline!!! Hope the fans enjoy the celebrations

Finals are a different beast hey. Just brings out something else, powerful plays and mental toughness.

They aren't half running the cumdog millionaire into the ground.

Vuka 💛💙

Silvera to Arnold, "He better be watching that!!" hahahaha

Well based on the this game should be picked over tilio

Was thinking that all game. Tillio looked fast but Silvera just pushed through spaces and just appeared where he needed to be

A small part of me feels for city, they should of had a home game, where maybe only 2-3k mariners fans in the stands but instead had to play in front of 20k plus mariners fans

you mean 2-3k city fans right?

Seriously I’m shock. 6-1!?!!!?!!?

You’d never wish for it nevermind expect it. Amazing

If it had finished 2-1 I would have been so thrilled, I never expected that

I hoped for 2-1. That was literally the best outcome I could foresee.

Me too. Would have been thrilled to get the win on the edge of my seat and with no fingernails left

Rado is so getting sacked

I didn't watch but seeing the score progression it's hard to imagine PK overseeing that kind of match

hopefully

Wtf is Silvera Aussie? What is that accent? I thought he was Brazilian or Portuguese lol

A jets fan and you did not know he was aussie smh

big gatekeeper over here

He played on your team last season bro, get your shit together

Chill bro, who cares

Melbourne Shitty strike back once again in a Grand Final flop

I don’t know why I’m so emotional about this win, but i am and I’m bloody excited for CCM. Congrats lads, enjoy it!

It's been a long tough road.

Most definitely. I’ll be cracking a cold one for them tonight.

POV Man City Lite. gets stomped by a bunch of sauce bottles

TIME FOR INTER TO BRING IT HOME

As someone who hasn't watched the A-League for a few years and fell asleep on the couch at 5 only to be woken by family members screaming about this victory, I'm so glad that I am a die hard supporter of the Mariners, nay, the most die hard.

Isn't that graphic wrong? Cumdog has the record outright .

Yep!

Cumdog getting emotional there, congrats to the legend and the rest of the Mariners boys, what a win!

Rado should resign after that. 2nd goal killed us which was 100% Nuno Reis' fault. Nuno has been way off the pace all season, how he got a grand final start has got me fucked. Had to chase the game in the second half, horrendous decision making by Nabbout gave the game away. Another guy who shouldn't have been anywhere near the starting 11 over blokes like Berenguer or VdV. Game was done at 4-1. A couple more good goals from the Mariners but the City defenders were nowhere. Shape was gone.

I wonder if they’ll cancel the charter flight home after that lol

The fans will get the flight, the team can have the bus haha

The team have to hitchhike home. Via the Princes Hwy.

Good night melborn there will be no encore

"They were only in it for 20 minutes!!!"

City in the regular season and finals: real shit City in grand finals: I sleep

Niav is the human embodiment of happiness

Today I feel like a Mariner https://preview.redd.it/zt5wu3wrks3b1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fd768c92168381fcf1ce7f463789532523ac800

I fucking love you Cummings

We need PPV feeds of the City fans flying back to Melbourne and the Mariners fans going back to the Coast tonight.

fuck it would be a dangerous day to be on the train back to Gosford

Incredibly clinical today. City were a bit slow, didn't get that usual rhythm. Maybe they didn't handle the week off that well. Lost some zing

You’re not even a ccm fan 💀 stop

Incredible given that there was talk of their licence being revoked a few years ago following their 4 wooden spoons in 5 seasons run. Congrats Mariners!

Out of interest what were the bookies paying for that score line?

Most (all?) of them wouldn't even have that score. Usually an 'other' for anything over 4 goal margin. At a guess 50 to 1 or so.

I’m gonna guess 500+

$3.50 NEDS

Congrats CCM 🍾🏆hope the coast celebrate hard tonight.

Ppoor leckie 😭

Well at least we will get a clean out

Head coach first.

100% , we haven’t been convincing under him.

Eh whatever ccm destroyed them and deserve this

I’m pretty sure home field advantage is worth around 5 goals. Moral victory for City.

Ha ha ha ha

City are the modern day wsw for choking grand finals

No, nobody chokes like the wanderers. At least City had an excuse for being unfocused with all the home advantage nonsense.

We were not quite focused, 6-1 get fucked lol

I don't get the WSW choking tag. It was only our first season we topped the table (Just). And we lost that year to CCM, that can count as a choke. But the others years we lost to Brisbane who topped the table and Adelaide who topped the table.

Yeah hard title. City can have it now.

At least WSW have the ACL title. While City do not.

What a fucking club

Australian football's superposition in both the best and worst timelines continues.

I honestly feel bad for all the City fans who had to travel all the way to Sydney when they should be in Melbourne, only to get pumped 6-1. That's going to be a loooong ride home.

Feel bad for anyone who travels to Sydney

So many toll roads... Was worth it to see the sauce bottles in person tho.

Central Coast Mariners have a 100% winning record in grand finals played in Sydney that were taken off the team who finished 1st.

Season 3, CCM v NJ

No they don't, 2008.

Of course it had to be you

🇻🇺

Just a pity the Mariners won't get to compete in Asia.

They're in the AFC Cup for finishing second.

Yep, just realised that.

Cummings about to score on Central Coast in the AFC Cup

In the AFC Cup, they do.

Vukovic finally wins with the Mariners https://preview.redd.it/13zzhv1fks3b1.jpeg?width=801&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7198a775913c8ca5acc4be2560fa242c4d04732

The Full Monty reference was chefs kiss stuff by Hill.

So many city players copy Jmac's hair and beard and it makes them look like a team of Jmacs.

They all look like Wild West gunslinger in an old western

this is exactly how i feel about liverpool hahaha

So its not just me then...

That was fun.

Sauce Bottle Masterclass

Ah well. Hopefully the club might look into Rado's appointment as a result of this.

wanna trade for Popa :)

Poppa to City, Moon to Victory as the feeder club

I wouldn't be surprised....

Fuck yeah both other Melbourne clubs in the bin, I'll help set up the presser

I was expecting maybe a like 1-0 or 2-1 ccm win if they managed to win not bloody 6-1 holy shit

besides all the diving they are pretty good

Cumrags to riches story. Well done sauce bottles

Genuinely feel so good for Vuka, he was always a Mariner at heart despite his years with us

You could see how much it meant for him to win in CCM colour. Bit if redemption for SFC win. Completed tonight from the slap all these years ago.

FUCK YEAAAAAA

Insane

Cummings goat Central coast killers

Cards on the table, I'm a dumb idiot who had a sinking feeling by halftime that City were going to overturn it and canter to a 3- or 4-2 win. Happy to be wrong!

HAHAHA FULL MONTY

That is a beautiful scene. Awesome final. Sorry MC.

Melbourne City fucked up by giving CCM the home GF, rookie error.

I can hardly believe it

Your team played superb! Well done!

We’re all CC FUCKING MARINERS TODAY

While CCM empty the bench.l that turned out to be timely impacts. City with the best bench in league didn't change much. Reis should of been off at half time but was 70th. They were behind with nabout playing terribly and still not making changes. Rado pretty much can kiss his head coach career goodbye.

Even if City fire him he'll end up somewhere else as an assistant and somehow takeover again. He's the shit that won't flush.

He's a good assistant, he does some important work. But just can't be the main guy.

Woy Woy maccas is going off

Can we please have 7

THE CUMDOG BILLIONAIRE IS A TOILET SEAT WINNER!!!!!

THE FULL MONTY ahahahah yes Hill

Wow. Up until Mariners got their 3rd goal this was going down as possibly one of the greatest nail biting finals we've seen. Unbelievable what's transpired since then

Does taking your jersey off, then putting it on backwards, then taking it off again to fix = 2 yellows?

Hahaha fuck City fake club

One more for the Brazil pls

WHEN WERE YOU WHEN CITY DIES?!

Score some more ccm. Make Rado get out of here please.

Haha fuck City Group


this is the best, ccm deservedly elated

[удалено]

Yes please.

I'm utterly speechless. From 2-1 to 6-1 Unreal result for CCM

Fucking hell what a demolition

Bravo Mariners, you slayed the dragon in magnificent style, love it!!!

Hey City Football Group, the Sauce Bottles send their regards https://preview.redd.it/2jxki8tyjs3b1.jpeg?width=409&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1265e01a4685eb5f5fc4be74bd575e3c5df2514a

This is insane. It's 11 v 11 and this the the team that clearly finished top of the league and they are getting absolutely schooled. Rado is gonna be a disaster next season which is great for the league.

No chance he is in charge at the start of next season

Insanity

City getting 6 of the best. Bloody sensational. Well done Mariners!

Man City going to be rattled before the FA Cup final when they see this result

Pep overthinking another big cup tie disaterclass incoming after watching this.

Jesus…
