Rivers Run Red

Interested to see how this one shakes out given we like to clog up one of the wings.

Farewell, we'll always have that barrel.

Yes but the 3 years prior they lost in a gf, preliminary and a semi. 17th was the outlier.

Einstein says Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

First year I've been able to gloat about being premiers, and listening to people talking about how good we are (until we fell away). Been used to being laughed at and being called irrelevant. Although I'm gutted about the way it ended, I'm enjoying these final 2 weeks of being reigning premiers.

Flags don't just happen. We've won one in 57 years. Back to back gets even harder as you become the hunted. All clubs demand success, but successful clubs learn from their failures.

Boring and predictable. Died the same death on counter too many times this season and didn't turn up with a plan B.

Swans win, with a single point in a mash of unknown stat's taken over the last 6 weeks when they have played 2 teams inside the 8. And he says it with a straight face somehow

I'm assuming they gave us spargs due to Ed missing out on goal of the year

Annoyed, can't sleep, but they were just more efficient, they absorbed our defence and were clean and beat us with leg speed on the counter. Not sure playing the half forward press against them was the best option. On the plus side, qualifying final at the G looking likely.

Last game would've been nice to see other results.

The beauty is, 8 teams are making up the numbers until someone wins it. And I'd rather be one of those 8 teams.

It's simple from here. Hold onto fourth, play cats in a home final at the G.

Time in forward half killed us, not a single fwd 50 tackle, dogs just marching it out of there. How did we end up in a shootout. That's not dees football.

The part I like least is the one home, one away round robin. It takes away home ground and home state advantage of finishes. Not that they are as big as they used to be.

"ie of the 3 teams that finished 2nd in their pools, select the one that finished highest during the H&A season to advance to the PF" So minor premier just has to finish 2nd to get through. Pool C looks like it would have 2 prelim finalists everytime.

Best game I ever saw seedsman play, and Keays/Laird took away our clearance game.

Viney, harmes, lever, dogga, Gus, trac

Whelp, I guess it's us and not the quality of the opposition... Sack the forward line.

Fremantle out Melbourned Melbourne. Pressure was intense, first time this year I've seen that level of uncertainty with ball in hand. Better to happen now than in September.

Baggers problem is they can't control the momentum swing when it comes back the other way. Goody should adopt a little rope a dope

Nothing like a home ground advantage

Put him in the ruck. Gus can do it all.

She gets the day off to herself. Happy mother's Day
