Completely agree. From a bottom 4 fixture to a top 4 fixture. Credit to them on a great season but they rode so much emotion in the last couple of months. Steele and Pendles will continue to slow up. im looking forward to seeing them come back to mid table next year

Wish we were doing the same thing? Putting players on 7 year deals and then changing our minds 2 years later. Lol

Would be interesting to see picks v finals and flags. So few number 1 picks win a flag you have to think they are not the answer in isolation as we know

Talk of the dogs expecting 2 first round draft picks for Dunkley? good player but not a dominant star. Madness!

Rumour or opinion or news?

Any news on Buddy since the potential lions one year deal? I find it hard to believe he would leave for a one year deal Another 52 goals. 3 contested marks and 2 goals in the prelim. I wonder if the Demons are interested? I know I would be keen!

Is it just rumour or is Hibbo and Melk confirmed to have a new contract??

Agree. But without many draft picks (aside from LJ picks) we may not be able to do too much. ANB and T Mac were shopped around with no takers previously. I reckon Hunt and Sparrow would attract interest though

They talk about Geelong like it's in QLD. It's closer than Casey is to Melbourne FFS!

So they get rid of a dual AA and dual BnF winner in Grundy who signed a 7 year deal just 2 years ago and bring in 3 average players? Who is the list manager there?! what a shambles.

I don't know about the fairest part of the footy awards. Each club's BnF awards the best player right? even the player is suspended, they still receive the award? correct me if I am wrong Would we really want Clarry missing a Brownlow if he was suspended for a dangerous tackle or an accidental bump that concussed someone? He is still a fair player

I'm interested in this view point. Why do you think the end result should so heavily impact how are judged the best players? (I'm not trying to be a smart-[censored] here). there are 44 players in the game, one team wins by 10 goals, I personally think a player from the losing side can get votes if he is worthy based on the performance. If a gun plays for a average team like Miller, I think the elite performances should be rewarded

The Brownlow is not given to the best player of the year its given to the best midfielder in a team that does not have other great midfielders. Eg Cripps, Neale, Wines, Priddis i really don’t understand the prestige around this award. Coaches award is a way more prestigious award imo

8pm finishes on Tuesday

Cheers mate interesting that there are no Pies players in the top 20 after 16 wins… same with the odds Crisp is paying $67 to finish top 10. He is my hot tip for you punters out there

Who gives AF? I’m going away for the weekend with the family.

Aside from first quarters we have kicked 1 goal in the past two games. pathetic Hanks, Heath and Mitho the only consistent performers today

What is up with Birch? Ball goes over the top every time. Terrible leadership at the back. Need Daisy to organise us back there

Great team vibe at the end there. All the senior players so pumped for boys And as a milkshake said - it was a long week to not be drinking. He has earnt one tonight

[censored]! Shouldn’t have tried to rush him back so hard. 3 months for a 6 month injury? Jesus

Couldn’t have scripted a more perfect game!

Geelong don’t get that luxury. Thought they used ANZ stadium or whatever it’s called

Why is the game at the SCG? Surely a prelim should be at a ground with 80k if possible?

BT bags players not kicking a drop punt 40 out on a angle and Hawkins missed from 15m straight in front and he wonders why he didn’t kick around the body!? it’s ok to say Hawkins shanked it. [censored] me

Can only imagine what that was like if only the government and councils would spend money on trying help these isolated communities rather than changing the date and political one upmanship.
