[BDA 20,421]

A premiership is a premiership whether won against interstate teams or not

40,000 crowd? Disappointing

If our 4-peat involves 3 interstate clubs, I'll reluctantly take it.

Kent having a forgettable quarter

Hawthorn won theirs while the rest of the comp was hobbled by the compromised draft with the introduction of both GWS and GC IMO.
Meanwhile they cherry picked clubs filling their needs with player looking for "success". 
Found themselves in the right place at the right time.

 

 

Exactly.. they had an easy run more then anyone.

Brisbane did it harder then both. Should have had 4 in a row had the AFL not [censored] them over with the travel.

Their dynasty [censored] all over Hawthorn and Richmond.

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

I've worked out how a defender can get 3 Brownlow votes. By everyone else on the ground being shockingly horrible.

[Jaded No More 58,685]

Honestly this game is so poorly skilled. I’m having PTSD of Melbourne pre 2018.

Brisbane are the best team I’ve ever seen in my life. They were unbelievable. Every single line was full of absolute stars 

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

Essendon 2000 were incredible. (washes mouth out with turpentine.) Not the same star power as Brissie 01-03 but a near-perfect machine. Curse them.

Nup given up again. Saints get the lead then in the blink of an eye they're 3 goals down again. 

They got Melbourne’d 😁

[Jaded No More 58,685]

It makes me irrationally angry to watch De Goey playing football. This scum should be in jail. 

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

Melbourne Victory'ed? Melbourne Storm'ed? Please do not associated Coll... I can't type it out ... that club with the mighty Demons in any way shape or form!

[monoccular 16,290]

That "deliberate" OOB shows (like in round 23 2021) that umpires have zero understanding of the game. Why would they, and it bounced in an off break 4 or 5 times.

[Jaded No More 58,685]

I cannot with St Kilda. Their ball use makes me so angry. 

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,636]

Honestly, can’t recall seeing a team so bad at executing a handball as this Saints team

Essendon cheated the salary cap in 2000.

Their forward entries. King must wish he'd been the brother who got to go to the Suns.

That was actually déjà vu!

Richo said almost the same thing (about trying to keep it in) re Gussy’s deliberate in round 23

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,636]

Htb now? After ignoring much worse all game… what a joke

You don't remember the Dees handballing to stationary team mates for 15 years straight? And missing that target. 

[Mazer Rackham 14,970]

Well, at least we should be able to beat one of these teams when we play them.

Sorry, having flashbacks.

God this is shocking viewing but strangely entertaining. It's good to be premiers.

We were woeful at everything, but tonight Saints handballing really has been horrendous 

[Jaded No More 58,685]

Umpire killed the game. Surprise surprise.

Nope  ...  Don't remember that at all 😐

[monoccular 16,290]

Saints lost it as much as Colonwood won it.  

Not much to get excited about either way, IMVHO.
