Heartbroken for Bob right now. That must hurt in the most indescribable way, despite the joy of the occasion.

Nice story from Clay Smith. He's made his mate proud, wherever they are now. Just one job left to do.

SUCK IT GIANTS YOU AFL CONCESSION PRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE DOGGIES! BRING IT HOME!!!!!!!

I feel ill. I'm going to throw up if Scully plays in a Grand Final.

COME ON DOGS! COME ON DOGS! COME ON DOGS! COME ON DOGS! COME ON DOGS! COME ON DOGS! COME ON DOGS!

BONT! Jesus, imagine if he was the infamous player Roos said we were after instead of Kelly.

Dogs get one back! C'mon!!!

[censored] off Greene you [censored].

Also the Dogs inside 50 entries are being eaten up by Giants defence. Stop bombing it in in hope!

This is turning into a very ugly game for all the wrong reasons.

Rather amusing to think our soft effort against the Cats may have contributed to their lack of match fitness and, ultimately, cost them a chance at the Premiership. That's certainly how I'll be remembering that match in round 23.

The other key difference being that Sydney (despite being the top of the ladder) got a free hit at two of the best kids in the last two drafts. Geelong don't get that type of reward until they drop to the bottom of the ladder (or follow the Essendon model of running a performance enhancing drugs program, get half your team banned, then get access to players like Parish, Francis and McCluggage with no intervention from the AFL).

Must be strange to be in Chunk's position, knowing your younger brother is playing in a Grand Final in his 3rd year of football. I'm sure he's proud as anything though.

If Selwood ever has a statue erected at Kardinia, it should be in his most regular pose: hands outstretched, mouthguard out, yelling at the umpire questioning where his free kick is.

No doubt, he's finished. But the club contracted him for 2 years after triggers, so you can't turn around and refuse to honour them.

No. Definitely not. They contracted Bartel for next year, so getting rid of him would be pretty poor form culture-wise.

They wouldn't want to be, considering Joel Selwood will be 29 next year. Their window is rapidly closing and it'll all rest on Dangerfield's shoulders by the time he's finishing his prime.

Won't be in the first round, they gave it up for Dangerfield. Oh dear.

The funniest thing is that Dangerfield actually moved to this team thinking a midfield of two would take him to premiership glory. Just delightful to see this team fail after their arrogant pontifications all year long. And best of all, apart from their list being thoroughly ordinary, their age profile is North Melbourne-esque. They are heading for the cliff-face and I reckon Dangerfield's made an almighty mistake (like O'Meara with the Hawks).

Haha, suck it Geelong! Bet that smarmy smile has been wiped off Whateley's face now. So wonderful to see the top-up teams crash and burn, while desperately clinging to their premiership window and avoiding the inevitable. What a joyous Friday night on the couch this has been! I hate Sydney but I'm smiling ear to ear!

Two top 5 picks at a minimum, considering the currency we gave up to acquire him, PLUS the fact he's turned into such a gun.

I found the show far more interesting with Sheahan filling in for Robbo a few months back. Some actual journalistic questions for a change, it simply embarrassed Robbo's usual drivel (even though the chemistry with Gerard is unmatched). What irks me is their regular guests. They have the same coaches, same players and same guests every single week. It got really tedious hearing Paul Roos waffle on and dance around questions, now it's just boring having to hear Buckley justify every single Collingwood decision on Mondays, or Lewis talk about how amazing Hawthorn are and Riewoldt talk about how shithouse Richmond are (then rail off excuse after excuse about underperformance). They desperately need to shake up their guests because it's boring as hell having the same voices every night. Not to mention parading around a convicted drug cheat on Thursdays as some kind of good bloke! The very definition of jobs for the boys.

The only way Freo are shopping Fyfe is if they think he'll never get back to his best. We're talking about leg injuries here folks, and a player who is apparently heavily disliked by the rest of his team. Trading a 20 year-old, potentially generational superstar key-forward for a player one year away from free agency status, who just missed an entire year of football due to constant leg issues, would probably be the dumbest conceivable trade.

Don't worry, no doubt they'll get their share of Isaac Heeney/Callum Mills freebies thanks to their Academy in the coming years. They're just playing the 'woe is me' card because they haven't got one this year. Yet despite already having a substantial leg up on 14 other club with their Academy, the AFL still hands them a priority pick. If you can't retain your players, improve your shithouse culture. A fish rots from the head (and we should know better than anyone!)
