I like GWS, if we couldn't win the flag, I've hoped they do. That stays the same with Clarry at the club. I hope they win the flag and Clarry takes the Norm Smith.

I'm less enthusiastic about Gold Coast.

I'm the same, plus I think Hardwick thinks he's todays God's gift to Coaches.

I just get this feeling that the Dees realised Clarry was just a millimetre from more bad decisions and that time will show that this was the right call.

The selfless footy of 21

Increasingly clear that our flag was built on the fortune of being able to lock that lot up and control their world for a season.

I love Gawn plus his anecdotes. But for all sorts of reasons, like Goody's pressers, I think he's very safe and diplomatic with answers about players, teams and the AFL admin and the overall sport. It's a pity but comments that May and Langdon said about Collingwood ( as well as Ginnivan about Port Adelaide) backfired. It is all kinds boring but it's the same as in our lives that if unexpectedly suddenly someone we treated badly is now our customer or superior or whatever we would regret our past misdemeanors. I don't know how good Gawn and Trac's relationship is now. But best if Trac comes to the premiership reunions, Trac isnt BOG whenever we play GC, and if Gawn still has a strong connection with our club after retiring Tracc has no problems having that too. While i kinda would love to know what Gawn really thinks about our recent seasons and the 'culprits' it's probably for the best he tells white lies or doesnt reveal much at all.
