Response to my post stating Patrick Cripps would be hard to beat in Brownlow. Proof that 12k+ posts indicate that whilst you may be good at waffle and sarcasm, really know stuff all about the game in general.

Forgive me for making such a ridiculous statement but I am thinking out aloud. I have watched the game 3 times now and something is really “off”. If I didn’t know better, or was looking at the game from the perspective of a first timer, I would say that our boys looked like they had been told not to win the game and went about ensuring those instructions were carried out. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s crazy but body language doesn’t lie and it was completely opposite to the previous few weeks. Anyway, just another supporter trying to understand what happened out there on Saturday afternoon.

Petty, despite the unfortunate start to his senior career, is head and shoulders above Keilty insofar as footy nous and skill are concerned.

Not a vote for Jack Viney? Maybe I was watching another game. 6. Viney 5. Hibberd 4. Oliver 3. vandenBerg 2. Harmes 1. Salem

For those interested in the ramifications following my post in the Gameday thread.... Demons 3 Eagles. 0

Just had WCE fans snatch my scarf, wipe it on his arsz and throw it at me. Laughs all round. I look normal sized sitting down but 198 cm & 110 kg. Sigh......I'm gonna have to hurt him.

FMD. I still haven't gotten over 87. Now this? Back on the Prozac.

Half the team overawed and the adrenalin that we have played on over the past month has run out. Need a Plan C from Goodwin after half time. Petracca and vdB into the middle. Oliver one out at FF. ONLY Frost on Kennedy. Tom Mc to CHB. Playing for pride now.

Don't ever let me see anyone saying Tyson is an AFL standard player. Cost us 3 goals. Absolute dud.

F 'em! I'm surrounded by the bustards!

Tired of locals here in Perth telling me that the heat of the day - 25 degrees - will be our downfall. Flashback to May 27 when we thrashed Adelaide in the red centre by 91 points. The temperature that day? 29 degrees. Further, some very nervous Eagle fans frightened to make eye contact with this unsmiling, steely eyed, red and blue cladded bloke walking through crowds in straight lines.

Collingwood playing their GF game right now. This will take a massive amount out of them if they can win.

Wow. Lucky I am a born and bred Melburnian and a city boy to boot.

And don't forget to head to Hungry Jacks for the Weagles Meal. No burger, no fries - just coke and ice.

I am passionate enough of a supporter to admit to getting a “twinge” looking at those pics! At my age, that is akin to a religious miracle!

We can probably add George: * Regularly handballs to team mates under pressure * Tends to handball at team mates feet

It always amuses me when people get this retrospective vision where something that has happened in the past suddenly seems to always fall with great significance into logical sequence today.

As they have during previous finals campaigns, I am betting the Eagles will be looking to add some speed to their midfield.......

Maybe a reference to the ice cream of the same name? You can Ski yoghurt, why not ice cream?

No thanks. Not up to it at AFL level.

Brightwater Hotel 15 Freshwater Street Mountain Creek, Qld 4557 ???

As low as $460.00 return on Jetstar (leave Friday return Sunday) if you’re not fussy re early or late times. I’m doing Brisbane/Perth for $660.00.

Down from Brisbane and about to refuel at my hotel bar (Pullman on the Park). Dees by 48 and Hawks smashed into oblivion! Love to see Vanders take Sicily out.

Who gives a rats ring about the entertainment. The Wiggles could be screaming Sweet Child of Mine whilst nude and I wouldn't even give it a glance. It's only about the footy.

Here’s my omen. Yesterday got a call from a friend that I had lost contact with and hadn’t spoken to for quite a number of years. His name is Max and his surname starts with G. A “Max G” calls me out of the blue as we march onward and upwards in our first finals campaign for 12 years? Get the hell outta here!
