So the new successful structure is 2 ruckmen and a tall forward line. 

And thank god. I hope this "real footy" thing takes off instead of pressure madness because I love the way West Coast play. They smacked us last week too, so to see them win takes the edge off a bit.

The last 3 premierships have been won by a Clarkson protege.  The previous 3 by Clarkson himself. 

Not only is Clarkson a master coach he is a master at training coaches.  Reckon he wore a wry smile on the siren.

We're going to just have to break that run then ;)

How's the Collingwood cheer squad feeling right now about that banner...

Actually genuinely feel sorry for them with that, no bigger day that it could’ve gone wrong for them.

And now delisted. ?

Probably one of the footy department's few missteps over the last few years. Still, the same draft they brilliantly traded up to secure Oliver before Parish, so these things work out in the end. 

How do you figure that.  We got it right.

We got the trade up to get Oliver right but Howe for Kennedy wrong. That’s what he’s saying.

The Pies seem to have this history of getting great deals from us, can we please turn one back around on the them!

Anyway for now the tears of the Collingwood players will do nicely!

Deserved winners, were the team who held their form most consistently through the year. Makes getting some extra marking power over the off season a smart move for the Dees. 

Yes, thought their overall marking power was the difference

Really thought I'd be ambivalent today but soon as the pies got ahead my hatred for them kicked in.

I really hoped they'd lose a close one and it all came true.

That eagles team song is an abomination.

Hope we get to sing a real song next year.

Yes. That song is awful

I know what hes saying... what I'm saying is, to change a culture out, to build a fresh one,,,  a club has to cut strings with many experienced players... to change things.

I put Howe in that basket.  No slight on Howe...  but it was a plus for us, to show balls to start making hard decisions.  The club had to grow its own balls, instead of leaning on the MCG, and all that stuff.

 

It had to again when we rid ourselves of the less committed types, who weren't goers... to the displeasure of many supporters.  But we did, and look at the new-way we attack the contests, in this 2018 year.

... it's a breath of fresh air in the lungs of a stuffy old Mfclub.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
