He was on air with Dwayne Russell earlier today

His return from injury was delayed, as was his return to condition, but when he finally got some ongoing run in the legs, his value was incredibly important. What was most evident was that one of the coaches, probably Chocko, convinced him to buy into the team first ethos, and taking first options combined with his fierce attack on the ball, created an incredibly strong on ball presence with our other guns. Similarly to Brayshaw, I think Viney bit the bullet and decided to embrace the new team ethos rather than look to merely build statistics. Jack’s role and spirit were invaluable.

Gawn - the perfect leader Petracca - the perfect game Oliver - superlative second half Viney - great finals series Salem - seemingly no errors Brayshaw - seasons best game Neal-Bullen - indefatigable and important Fritsch - was the icing Jackson - wonderful third quarter Brown - justified the wait May - silenced the [censored] Langdon - never stopped running Bowey - loved his endeavour Harmes - important performance lift Sparrow - some important involvements Lever - always a rock McDonald - better second half Rivers - energy and courage Spargo - just some cameos Petty - performed as required Hibberd - quiet but effective Pickett - couldn’t get involved

May taking a strong mark early in the quarter was a momentum turner for the team

Biggest issue is that we’re not lowering our eyes moving the ball into the forward line. Petracca, Viney and Oliver are all guilty

Hopefully I’m not wasting space by repeating a spooky fact, but: It’s 57 years since our last premiership. Norm Smith died at the age of 57. Coincidence? Is the curse meant to be broken this year?

I always envied Hawthorn supporters who were able to witness the pure magic of Rioli for many years…. but no longer.

Gawn - perfect captain’s game Viney - disciplined and dynamic Salem - confident and prolific Oliver - an unselfish game Petracca - dynamic and important Spargo - year’s best performance Fritsch - classy and vital Langdon - the running machine Harmes - incredible first half Brayshaw - brave and involved McDonald - played his part Neal-Bullen - great first half Bowey - pure footballing talent Brown - an important contribution Pickett - always looked dangerous Jackson - quiet but valuable Sparrow - excellent tagging game Lever - assumed General’s role Jordon - enjoyed the experience Rivers - impressive youthful energy Hibberd - an important addition Petty - performance belied experience May - please recover well

DESTINY

No I didn’t . If he played well I acknowledged it. I don’t play favourites.

Deleted by 2 clubs and not retained by a third.

My criticisms were proved justified

I don’t hold grudges

Is there any accompanying certificate that confirms whether it’s genuine and what condition is it in?

Fwiw I actually sell AFL premiership memorabilia, including the framed HeraldSun poster. I pledge to give a significant discount to all Demonlanders upon our victory, and of course an attractive financial thank you to the administrators here. When we win I’ll put up some images of available product.

Gawn - dominated when necessary Viney - importantly found form Neal-Bullen -season best game Petracca - dynamic high achiever Oliver - continued Brownlow form Brayshaw - season best game Langdon - four consistent quarters Fritsch - mercurial and important Sparrow - impressive tagging performance Brown - provided solid target Salem - was rarely flustered Harmes - played important role Lever - steady and safe Spargo - not his best Rivers - calm and composed May - dominated his opponent Jackson - had a presence Pickett - couldn’t get involved Petty - the quiet enforcer Bowey - continued to impress McDonald - another disappointing performance Smith - was not disgraced

Gawn - dominated when required Fritsch - amazing second half Brown - one quarter performance Petracca - lacked usual drive Jackson - great youthful energy Pickett - little involvement again Spargo - better forward pressure Melksham - far from convincing Harmes - had limited presence Oliver - surprisingly didn’t dominate Salem - the consummate professional Lever - intercepted at will Brayshaw - disappointingly quiet game Hibberd - safe but limited Langdon - pleasingly found form Bowey - safe and mature Jordon - had limited involvement Rivers - presence and endeavour Neal-Bullen - prefers the wet Sparrow - just a game Petty - just broke even Smith - probably surprised everyone
