Given my display name, I feel obligated to post in this thread and I'm disappointed that I haven't already done so. Really rated Dom when he was at his peak and played a good role for us, still remember that goal against the Hawks in 2016 which helped to break that run of losses to them. hope he gets another shot at it if he wants to. Thanks for everything Dom!

Goody at the team meeting...

Gee what did GWS do to you Jaded, is it the Russian marching band theme song??

He's a great media performer but he also just seems super genuine, which seems to be a theme with most dees players getting interviewed this year, less catchphrase cliches and more stuff from the heart. #Positivelingers #SultansofWing

Copped a big hit into the side fence last night, I presume though because goody didnt mention it that he's all good?

No more Essendon in the finals is very pleasing.

That was definitely Langdon's best game since the concussion, very positive stuff from lingers!!!!!

Ive got to say, port fans were really giving essendon a run for their money there. God they ruined INXS for australia.

This could just be my MFCSS acting up but I was thinking about the correlation between playing teams in finals and the home and away season. In 2018, we lost to hawthorn once and geelong twice but beat them both in finals, we beat the eagles in the home and away season but then lost to them in finals. I also remember seeing something about how Richmond during their finals runs rarely if ever lost to the same team twice, if they came up against a team they had lost to in the regular season, they nearly always beat them in the finals. Is there anything in this? is it purely a coincidence about when you win against or lose to a team? (Just for context, I'd obviously rather be going into finals with a good record against the top 8 than not, just interested if any other dlanders have a thought on the above)

Salo maybe on the bench?

Joel Selwood is roughly 10cm taller and mathieson is about 15cm taller than spargs. Yes he accentuates contact for the sake of the umpires, however; the law of averages would suggest that someone that small is naturally going to get taken high more frequently than people who are taller than him, and also considering he is often times being tackled by key defenders who are up to around 20cm taller than spargs on average.

I don't think we can underestimate the impact Burgo has had both on overall fitness and on the injury list. Choco also seems to have had a really significant impact on the young boys and the foot skills of the broader playing group. and lastly Goody, three years of experience and growing as a coach can only be a good thing for the playing group (and clarry and tracc's interview on saturday certainly speak to that).

I love this man so much. The care and passion that they all have for the club is so special.

We don't, we watch that last quarter and then we watch it again and again and maybe just once more for good measure!!!! Go the dees!!!!!!

Its the red hair, there is no other explanation, Clayton is such a jet!!!!

Tracc cries, I cry. I have never felt more elated, my love for this club knows no bounds.

Bit of a shame that freo winning means that essendon stay in the eight. Essendon scare me more atm than west coast.

Our backline did look fairly shaky in parts, Steven May is clearly an incredibly important cog in the backline system. I thought Petty was outstanding, his trajectory of improvement this year has been quite phenomenal, deserves any and all credit he gets. and the Crustless quiche strikes again!!

We just want consistency. Not too hard really.

Well said Webber, unfortunately, those type of dees fans will always exist, he's been so consistent this year though I don't think he'll be going anywhere. So odd to think he was publicly on the trade table last year and no one wanted him. He's proved everyone wrong and its so good to see.

I honestly feel like i've chugged ten red bulls, how am I meant to get to sleep now????

Oh and how about that gather and turn from bowey to clear the ball from d50, Taylor has unearthed another gem i reckon.

Luke Jackson is a genuine star, his performance was off the charts!! And Alex Neal Bullen, best game he has played in a Melbourne jumper, take a bow or ten!!! Up the Mighty Demons!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry but essendon winning still makes me sick.
