absolutley hawthorn. The thaught of piffing out geelong and hawthorn in the finals is orgasmic. Richmond, melbourne, sydney and wet coke are my tips. 

Almost a change of the guard type of thing

If we win, who would be best option the following week. Personally would rather hawks . Thoughts

Anything is possible but realistically I think we needed to finish top 4.

He also said eagles would be the wooden spooners this year. 

Happy to be there this year. As said,2019 will be the year and weeds will be the next big star. 

This year will take it as it comes, hopefully beat cats and after that it is a raffle.

I think if we win this week we are a huge chance for next week and a prelim. 

I dont know if I could even watch us in a prelim or a granny. I'd puke

Lads lad and very good player. Sort of bloke you'd love to have around your club. Hope he stays on board in some capacity

THank you BV. Was glad when he joined the dees. Perhaps the first decent signing in years. Was the start of what we have now. Hats ? off to you Bernie!

Very sad that its over though

I am in two minds. If he wanted out, trade him, if not let’s get the lad right. With weeds bobbing his head up it will allow hogan to be, ready for it , a high crumbing forward who can also smash through opposition. 

Unless freo offer

pick5

brayshaw

fyfe

and a yacht 

then let’s not even worry.

And the little creatures brewing company

According to Jon Ralph who spoke to Jesse’s Manager, he is going nowhere. Loves the club and players, just got his licence and happier than he has ever been in Melbourne.

Think we can put speculation to bed .

Jetta. Met him the year he got drafted and my wife and I had a chat with him, great fella. 

The way he plays is exactly what is expected and that mark he took on Rioli against the eagles was a defining moment.

The club would have been looking/talking to Gaff for the past year.  But now, I would say the development of Harmes and Brayshaw thave reduced our need for Gaff, especially if we had to break the bank to get him.

Use the money to keep the talent we have which still has so much upside.

My thoughts exactly. Sure they will package up someone for someone or a pick.

Based on the rumoured $$ on offer for him I’m not surprised 

Happy to spend the mill or so a year on what we have. Let the draft boys pluck a few more diamonds. Fridge and spargo have been priceless. Not sure which one we got for watts but it has worked out. Best thing, I am sure they will keep getting better!

Stop the presses! It took a Melbourne supporter to find Jimmy Hoffa. And there was a clue in his disappearance all along:

"Hoffa disappeared on July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of Red Fox restaurant."

Joffa, bloody spell check

I know right?

So many impatient people. 

He’s connected to Collingwood by lineage. Having them make rumours up about him is just part of the territory. I’d be amazed if there was any truth to that at all.

They can have him for

stephenson

treloar 

taylor

and 2 first rounders

and if they send Hoffa to the orthodontist.

been a big fan from the start. Will be our key man up front for next decade. Roos toke him and Oliver for a reason.

He's coming on in leaps and bounds. He's making less errors, hitting targets and backing himself.

Go Frosty!

Funny what happens when given the chance. Have always been a fan. Reminds me a bit of glass from the eagles. He wasn’t too bad!

Harmes gets a massive clearance after kicking that goal. Amazing how well he has come on.

EDIT: And Vanders capitalises to put us in front.

20-19

Spargo sharp for a first year player.

Not the first time Kent has done his shoulder. Big blow as Kent has X factor. If there was a player called luck he wouldn't play for the Dees.

I feel sorry for Kent. He just can get on the track. 1 down early will certainly make it harder.

Want the Swans to win this, and the Hawks eliminated in week 1.

Hawks will win. Clarkson is a bloody good coach. Yes has had some good players come in but built a team and culture we can now hopefully achieve.

 Hawthorn look dreadful.

Hope we play them. Any chance 

Sorry for thread but for the first time in 12 years I get to discuss the 1st week of finals!

Looking likely to be a home game against hawks or Geelong. Who would we prefer. Any footy analysis out there care to share.

Trying to work out who I want to win tonight, swans or hawks. Hawks losing almost gives us the g. Collingwood hopefully gets done but looking at freo one would think not!

If we lose and Cats win a 61 point total would see them above us and us playing GWS again.

We need to win this week and score a home final against the Cats.

All for that. Should get a seat at the g too!

2 hours ago, DubDee said:

if we lose, GWS go 5th.  Geelong win by a decent margin, they catch our %.

therefore we finish 8th and play GWS.  if Geelong dont hammer Suns, we play away to Shydney

How much would Geelong need . I will be watching and ready to get airfares so all relevant.

As travelling from inter state wondering most likely scenario for our 1st final. 

Looks most likely Sydney but could be the g. Any thoughts. Was thinking of booking Sydney then easy to connect through

No we are not surprised, but he is definitely not "dumb", but rather messed up as are most people with drug related issues. A little compassion wouldn't go astray (although if the sell and supply charges stick, I might reassess that).

Ice is a serious issue and can often be close to home. Yes his decision to take it was dumb but now it is about trying to stop it. 7 years is considered the time required to get clean. Thoughts with him and family, no matter ones personal stance on cousins or drugs, it is not something I would wish on anyone.

Resting players?? You want a final in Sydney? 

We have a bye anyway

Want to fly over and easier to get a seat at the g. A win and I will hit the enter button quick. What day would we likely play?
