This one was just plain arrogant when the Lions were on top. Fair enough go and support two opposition teams in your clubs getup as a 'neutral'. But when you pick sides, then start overtly giving it to the loosing team when the other gets on top, I think that's pretty rank and arggant.

Unless you are just talking about the ones you were there in person for, surely V Geelong final H & A 2021 and arguably V Bulldogs 2021 GF are up there?

Not to mention his 2018 H & A and brilliant finals series. For similar sentimental reasons, I would have loved it if Jayden Hunt played in a flag for us and to a certain extent Tomlinson, not to mention Nathan Jones. Still a realistic prospect for Jake if he can keep it up and an outside chance for Tomlinson (assuming the tram can bring home the chocolates if course, which is always a huge ask).

The ones near us were up and getting really arrogant I thought in the 2nd and 3rd quarters when they started to get on top. After we came back and won the game I made sure I gave them a bit of a serve. Some tool kid in a Colliwood jumper was also jumping up, turning around to verbal the MFC crowd and getting carried away when Brisbane got on top. Hey buddy - remember Kings Birthday??

I've just got home and got my boys into bed at 12:30am and my adrenalin is still flowing. 2nd that Kayo of the last qtr!

Agreed. I also thought the earlier goal from young Taj Woewodin was a really classy goal where he summed up his options, took on the responsibility and nailed quite a difficult goal under pressure. Although it was quickly responded to by Brisbane, I thought it was a real team lifter and momentarily injected some much needed enthusiasm into the team at a time the game seemed to be slipping away from us. In retrospect an important goal in the scheme of the contest.

Up forward or down back, his strength marking and pace are such assets. I agree that I like him up forward too, but tonight, Kossie, Trac, Melksham, Brown & Co got the goods in the end, although it didn't look all that pretty at times. Actually thought BBB has been decient and helped our structure and ball movement up there since he's been back

We are legit mate. Mark of a great side to grind away and squeeze out wins when you're not 100% on top of your game week to week.

And within a fraction of 3 - 1, although Collingwood would somewhat dubiously claim the same.

They're wasting their time if that's the strategy. Trac is the Norm Smith specialist!!

Just imagine what he could do if he played the whole game. Very stiff to be dropped when he was I thought.

Surely Joel Smith gets picked in the starting lineup next week. Another frindge type that tries his guts out, plays in the right spirit and just keeps preserving and putting himself forward.

I'm sure it's been said numerous times all ready, but "HOW [censored] GOOD IS JAKE MELKSHAM!!!" Love this bloke. He certainly had his moments tonight - both bad and VERY VERY good ones, but overall, I love the way he attacked the contest and took on the game by foot. Not gone yet Jakey boy. ❤💙❤💙❤💙

Guess it would depend on when the pod was done, but was the GC coaching job bought up?

The prospect of Kalani may be the most important reason for having an AFL team on the Gold Coast that's ever been put forward.

I'm not sure I've ever given that too much thought Wodja, but I'd prefer a win to Geelong. Take them away from Kardinia Park and Geelong will go to puss in finals from the bottom half of the 8.

...and add pick 22 or whatever to the other end of the anchor also please.

I credit @John Demonic for posting the above in the Freo Death ride thread, but every time I see this guy in the 2021 GF, I think of Mike:

Go Sawannies you good thing!! Loving the death ride.

Time to segway to the Freo thread. Go Swans.

I'm glad he kicked the goal before, but gee I can't stand Pappley

On a serious note, the Bulldogs have some of the best prison tats going round, with Libba the boss in this respect.

I'd have Chandler amoung the more players there, but agree that it's a great sign for continued success moving beyond the core of 2021 premiership players.

Why stop at 190 points? Becoming the first team to be beaten by the double ton would put it even further in clear air beyond the 186. Also having two losses of that magnitude in the same season and a woeful % would surely see them seen as the worst side in an individual season in the past 20 years. There are a bunch of sides like Carlton and Essendon who have had less sucess than us this century now, so the Eagles being seen as lowly as this would be great.

Let's hope not, but if the Sun's academy can do some hard work and help develop Kalani that bit more before he gets to the MFC, that would be karma for loosing Mac Andrew to them from our own academy.
