During the h and a season so many commentators pitted us v cats as the best fwd line in gfc v us the best backline.

Pffff.

In general, it's sad to listen to the commentators (although some - and this is a minority - have a few clues). There seems to be a central tendency amongst the majority of their number to waffle, to forget what they said seconds, minutes, hours and days ago, to present an authoritarian statement or two for cudos, entertainment and self-preservation. In all, a thoughtless process of a redundant calling to appease the masses and ignore the minnows in footballing terms. Geez, I miss Drew Morphett and Tim Lane.

How important is Ben Brown to our structure. He was immense last night and good to see his goal kicking accuracy improve with the more games he has played with us. 
 

Bet he is happy he made the move from a wooden spooner team to a gf bound one.

Mate he’s a fantastic footballer, reads it well attacks it clean hands and has his decision made as before he’s about to dispose of it. Pure class

He actually appears to be a Salem clone. Solid in the contest, good footy IQ (ie reads the play well and makes good decisions) and is a beautiful user. Some of those passes through the eye of the needle last night were insane.

I think what Bowey has on Salem is leg speed.

Our development and coaching (along with recruitment) has been A grade in 2021.

Tom Sparrow also very good the times he was involved.

Biff!

I thought you’d been sent to the Demonland Gulag.

All the rapscallions from days of yore are coming out of the woodwork. All we need now is @Moonshadowto return and all will be copacetic!

Yes Col,

I had to "go away" for a while.

My eyes are still adjusting to natural light.

Good to be back in the asylum.

Going through these threads I could just cry. I can't believe this is real.

Reports on 774  just now that Nathan Jones is expected to be catching a flight home to be with his pregnant wife. Sad if true as I'd love him to be there, but wish him and his family all the very best. Whether true or not, regardless, thanks Jonesey, sincerely, you've been a light in the darkness and we wouldn't be here without you. ❤️💙

We’re in a granny - in Perf.

Please don’t wake me from this dream. 

Keep this thread going. I watched the 3rd quarter again this morning just to make sure it really happened.  March into the Grand Final.  

GIVE EM HELL 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️

It was really good not having BT or Brayshaw on the TV commentary last night. I forget the bloke's name that did it last night, but gee I hope he gets the gig for the Granny.

Will Hawkins ever pay the price for pushing people in the back?

Just read the paper in a coffee shop, talking about Mays injury, they reckon it was in that contest he injured it. Grrrrrrr if true!

Jason Bennett. He's a former FOX Footy commentator. He did the VFL on 7 for a while, but I reckon they've realised he's their star. A much better commentator than the majority of them, and when the lead is no nonsense football, it sets the tone for the rest of the commentary team.  

I am hopeful Steven May will be ok with a bit of rest. The "bye" before the AFL Grand Final may actually be a blessing in disguise?

Have watched the highlights of the game a few times now.

Max Gawn was unbelievably freakish in the things he did as a ruckman.

It is definitely a surreal feeling watching a Melbourne team playing so well.

Anyway, the job's not done yet...

Was there a footy game on last night. I got a telegram this morning telling me the Dees and Cats were playing in lock out state that cannot be right surely. Can anyone enlighten me please? 

 

 

I don't want to gloat, but you should have chosen us, Smith, you [censored].

Agree AF and is there a way to get a message to that twerp Will Schofield and his pre game mentally scarred article, that schitt should and must stick.

Jason Bennett. He’s great in commentary.

Technically it was only a 39 point win once you subtract the 44 point lead Geelong had in round 23.

That makes no sense, it's technically a 131  point win, add the 44 points points we came back from + the 4 points we won by then the 83 point win by last night.

But we would kill for forward line like Geelong according to kingy, they have 3 forwards that kick goals, we have 6

Joke or not it's still wrong, and not funny because it makes no sense.
