I don't necessarily agree.

It wasn't just the finals drought. It was how we missed last year, the talk about us being mentally soft and  not being able to beat top eight sides that brought out that outpouring of emotion. 

The bigger question is how quickly we move on. We spend all week reflecting on that and we are boned for September.

I loved his quote that to win finals you need to display inhumane behaviour. 

No Judd, just because you are inhumane and have all the personality of a dried fig, does not mean that everyone else is a robot like you. The only reason you won a premiership is because you were surrounded by lots of other stars and cocaine. Your inhumane behaviour certainly did nothing for your next club, all it did is show you for the selfish, self centred, money grabbing pr*ck that you are.

3 Goals to Half Time and our 4 win season with a percentage of 68 was almost Complete.

Only 7 that played that week played last week against them and another 3 are on the list.

I felt ashamed to be there that day. It was an embarrasing to be with my brother in law.

So maybe Mr Judd needs to look back to where we have come from to understand the sheer jubilation from all concerned!!  End Rant

Notice the free kick count that day. 28-16 West Coast... Booooo!

Moments like last Sunday make it seem it was well worth the wait. Try to think of it as the foundation to us becoming great again. A lot of hard work has been done by all involved with the club since then. 

As to Judd....PFFFT!!

Jack Fitzpatrick was our leading goal kicker  that night..??

I used to enjoy watching Footy Classified, in fact it was the only footy show I watched  every week.

Now Judd is on there I can not stand it.  The guy is unbearable.

Yeah, it was one of our better days during that period.

If Judd thought the players after-the-siren celebration was over the top he should have been at my place on Sunday..

My thoughts exactly.

SUBSTITUTES
West Coast: Dom Sheed replaced Mark Hutchings at quarter time
Melbourne: Christian Salem replaced Colin Garland in the third quarter
 
 
The sub rule makes me want to vomit.   It  stunted the development of many a young player and was a huge and unnecessary change to our great game.    Thank god they got rid of it, but whoever implemented that garbage should have been fired never to work in sport ever again.
 
The idea that our pick 9 Christian Salem was on the bench not being used until the third quarter is almost unbelievable looking back now.

Times have changed.

Richmond won a flag last year on a positive feel good vibe, and had fun doing it.

Post win celebration brings atmosphere and belief in wanting more and more.

Especially where we have come from.

Also installs confidence.

Let the Juggernaut begin!

Interestingly, Jones said the celebrations on the siren were because they had rid themselves of the 'not beaten a top 8 side' monkey off their back and not because they had made the finals.  I had the impression that dawned on them a bit later.

Lewis mentioned that people need to understand the noise at that cauldron with a hostile crowd and winning.  But by the time the plane took off (3 hours late) on Sunday night they were ready to move on to the next game.

So Judd has has misunderstood the initial reason the players celebrated.  The supporters, however are over the moon happy and showed it. 

Nothing wrong with a few man-hugs and a robust rendition of the Grand Old Flag.  I have no doubt the team has their feet planted firmly on the ground.

Depends how much celebrating you do .

But I’d probably instill it instead of installing it. ?

I went through a good three quarters of bottle of scotch during that wet toast game. I think I sculled two glasses after they hit the front.

It was .... the AFL coaches!

They got all cut about having injured players, and how it wasn't fair that a game-ending injury meant that they only had 3 rotations to the oppo's 4. Unfair! they cried. We need 3 rotations and a sub to keep it even.

New rule: sub player.

Later on they worked out ... hey. We've only got 3 rotations when we could have 4. Why have we got an entire player just sitting there! Doing nothing! Stupid! Whose idea was that???

The AFL, having outsourced the state of the game to coaches, was happy to rubber it stamp it each time.

TL;DR: the coaches don't know what they want. There should be no coaches on "state of the game" panels.

The over-celebrating comment is just a way for media junkies like Judd, Hutchinson and Lloyd (who agreed) to look authoritative.

We beat GWS and/or win the first final and they can say raising the issue made Melbourne re-focus. Lose to GWS and then drop out of finals in the first week and they can say they were vindicated.

Either way they appear to "win".

One of the worst changes they ever made and was totally doomed from the start. I remember my brother saying it was good because it ‘added a new edge’ to the game. Yeah maybe from a spectator point of view but for the players it would have sucked. 

And it sucked from a spectator point of view IMO.

Judd wouldn't remember celebrating a win playing for Carlton for so long.

Judd has been saying for weeks he likes the Demons and they can go a long way, think he was thinking we’d lose focus, plus he’s probably regretting going to the Blosers all those years ago

Posted (edited)

Did Judd happen to watch the celebrations after West Coast beat Adelaide in round 23 last year to knock us out.?

You would've thought they just won their 6th straight flag. I can't recall Judd criticising West Coast's celebrations after falling into 8th place.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
