An old boys calf - doesn't bode well.

When will the team be announced?

Demons by 74 points - a reprise of the Grand Final

Loved it back in day when your membership card was punched at the gate by an old boy wearing a vest and a tweed jacket. Bring it back.

well done to him. There is no-one in the business more respected. Still grates to see him in the Filth clobber.

Not bad but Franklin at number11 is ridiculous and as with the Brownlow if you are a back man you’re irrelevant

I enjoyed it. Unlike some, I liked the historical context to the Flag. It is one of the great football stories and Flower, Barassi, Stynes etc needed to be a part of it. The documentary was made for a general audience, not just the fan base who are all too familiar with the painful past. The Norm Smith dismissal is just as perplexing as ever. There has to be a backstory and maybe an archeologist will find the full story engraved on a stone tablet hidden in a dark corner somewhere. I hope so.

Clarrie and Trac are number one and number 2. Who is 1 and who is 2 is moot.

He needs to say hello to TMac’s trainer that improved his turning circle

I resemble that!

I think this result showed how much better our backline functions with Hibberd. He can play tall and small, knows how to position himself and is a competitive beast. I doubt we would have lost if he was playing.

Microscope required?

Hope they don’t drug test

Come on down Weed?

I want Burgo back.

sounds very missable

Trac was quoted as saying he is convinced Gus will stay.

A bit controversial but I would rate Clarrie number 1 - no disrespect to Trac intended.

I reckon Dangerfield is massively overrated

cutting - the list?

Ivor Warne-Smith

Where’s the croupier?

Apart from the obvious - Tulip, I think Gary Lyon often gets forgotten. He was supremely talented and a big game player. Yze was also a personal favourite.

Sparrow was central to 4 goals in the Grand Final. I think he has become a first choice player.

Champion data produce excrement. Salem, Gawn and Fritter are elite, as evidenced by their performance in the final series and Max in that last game against Geelong that got us the minor premiership. Part of being elite is the ability to perform in a final series and big games and those 3 were magnificent in that environment. They probably don't include finals in their calculations and if not, that is a major deficiency.
