KLV

Not sure if you’re serious; if you are, check out clinical anxiety on google, it’s no picnic

iselect aren’t renewing, hopefully new sponsor announcement soon

The 17 round draw assumes blindness to advantages; simply, every team plays every other once, and alternates hosting at home ground on a year on year basis Like the old days

We’ve had the Demon flag at half mast since we heard. He and J Watts visited our critically ill son at RCH, had respect and admiration for them both since then. Rest easily Col.

As Garry Lyon apparently said, time for the afl to grow up and do the 17 round draw. Wont happen though, afl not likely to stomach the revenue loss, nor have the courage to do what is right

Nor do I

Hogan IS NOT A FREE AGENT NEXT YEAR sorry to shout, but haven’t we gone through that several thousand times?

Of course, isn’t that the only way?

Don’t mind a teddy bear smothered with butter, yummmm

Why would Sydney do that?

Bit off topic I know, but I’m no fan of Geelong these days, but I think they are entitled to play hardball with kelly. Funny he’s so desperate to go home but is only interested in WCE. Disingenuous.

Geelong viewpoint - Would you trade Tim Kelly and Pick 11 for Pick 7 and Pick 15? Yes Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern? Yes Port Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2nd rounder? Don't know Melbourne viewpoint - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10? Yes GWS viewpoint - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11? Don't know GWS or Carlton viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel? No Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May? Hope so

This is what I was told too. Say we’ll done from me too! They will be shattered.

I think that is extremely ambitious

We’re going and we’ll be loud! Goody convinced me! (Costing a small fortune- bought a package) Where’s a good pub for post game celebration (hopefully)? Also to watch the game on Friday night?

I listened to the podcast on the way to work this morning, could not believe it when she talked about Jim’s statue and compared Melbourne’s tanking episode with essendon’s injecting program. It undid anything complimentary she said about us getting over the huge hurdle of Sunday. Just shows she takes it all very personally, can’t let it go, and must have really hated Cameron shwab’s guts. anyway at the end of the day, she the one that looks the fool - bitter and mean spirited

Great to see the meaningful self reflection boys!

This is so true LH, 3 generations of our family were together watching today, (some more intently than others!), but the joy was shared equally. My kids for example have grown up watching the Dees fail over the last 12 years, and I was born the year we last won the flag, so equally no joy for anyone. Then the really olds desperately want a little success before they fall of the perch.

Home now after an extended celebration at the pub, where we we’re watching. How much sweeter after waiting so long. in the depths of despair after wce hit the front by a point fully expecting them to kick on from them. But the Dees, how courageous! Jones found something special, Harmes just so strong, Oliver, Petracca -class shows . So many things to like. Happiness at my House!

How true that is, don’t they get sick of it?

Oh and while I’m at it, wait for their whinging to start because they don’t get to play a final at their state government funded home stadium

100% agree with all these anti Geelong posts. I liked them while they won their flags, because they had waited so long, but since then, the unbearable arrogance of their supporters, the way g abblet, took the money from Gold Coast and ran, the unchallenged lack of sportsmanship from Dangerfield, and most of all the whinging, bleating of their coach, have made me hate them with gusto. May they be embarrassed out of the first week of the finals by 186 and spend the next decade at the foot of the ladder.

The ABC interviewed an umpire last Friday night who was that weekend umpiring his 350th. His account made me appreciate the increasing difficulty of their job

He sounds like he was so homesick in those early days.

It’s all just so predictable, isn’t it? A big game with so much riding on it and we come out looking second rate. I left the ground thinking of tuning the rest of the season out. And the finals consisting of usuals in Geelong, hawthorn, Sydney and wce holds no interest for me.
