Dayne Zorko: Premiership player 

 

Amazing what an academy and father son picks get you !!! 

Still smart recruiting. No second rate scrubbers.  Neale. Cameron. Daniher. Dunkley.  Take note !!!

Absolutely Oscar McInErnery's energy in the medal presentation.

Pure goofy, loving joy.

Suspect that has been a big part of keeping the team upbeat during some rough early times.

Apparently he was very upbeat all week & didn't moan about his injury or missing out

Absolutely putrid grand final. Game was worse than the pre-game.

Polar opposite to Mills

They just won the flag from 5th.

Let that settle

That was my second life lesson, don’t whine, feel sorry for yourself or give time being negative about something that you can’t change. The Big O’s excitement during and after the game (especially for his replacement) was beautiful.

And the only other team to win from outside the 4 beat …. $ydney

11 players played every game. Consistency helps. 

But they also had the depth to cover for McInerney, Coleman and McCarthy (plus Gardiner and Doedee).

Fantastic list management and fitness. Not a coincidence.

For Sydney, when the going got tough they fell apart and you’d think the scars of 2022 has something to do with that. Their tall forwards are barely better than ours and they couldn’t compete aerially against Brisbane’s defence.

All the more reason to believe that if we get some of sh*t together in terms of game plan (Bassett) is a nice inclusion, then we are right in the thick of it.

Last 2 premiers aren’t absolutely dominant like we were and other great teams before us. Brisbane are still far from invincible in spite of a flag.

Personally, enjoyed Swans get smashed... again 🥰

It's a bad movie on repeat for Sydney.

The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight superbowls in the 90s, by the time the last one came along the loss seemed a forgone conclusion. Are Sydney too traumatised with this group?

Well the only logical conclusion from this is that our boys need to have a wild footy trip, and a poorly managed WhatsApp group.

I thought we had enough of the media bashing us up.

If ever there was a year to do it, this was it. Such an even season. Top 4 made up of seriously flawed teams.

You could argue it was the worst top 4 in years 

Watching Brisbane today made me realise how bad our skills are at times.

Brisbane just run hard for each other and create space, they don't fumble and there forward line is open & they don't get in each other's way.

Happy the Lions and Fagan but worried about them when they add Ashcroft next year

They bat so deep. Blokes like Ah Chee are their 10-15th best player and is so skilled

Could be the case if they lose another one within the next few seasons. But at the moment, I put it down to a lack of experience on the MCG and larger grounds in general. They also have a heap of flashy type players that play for themselves. 

Four lost GFs in a row

How do you even rock up to preseason?

Fans must be in pieces. But they only have themselves to blame

Blokes like Heeney Warner Gulden completely choked on the big stage

Going out in straight sets for us two years in a row.

Yep.

At least we made a fist of it.

And came very close despite injuries at umps.

Swans have no excuse.

The most lackluster effort in a granny by any club for eons.

In it for twenty minutes then went to sleep.

Going to haunt them until they lose another.

Time to move Horse on.... 1 of 4 in Gf's during his time.  Need new ideas to try and get them one. 

 

Worse than that - 1 of 5 

Won 2012

Lost 

2014, 2016, 2022, 2024

Almost time to give them a nickname like colliwobbles? 

 

Just watching Oscar being interviewed. Wish he was my friend.
