Pretty sure Rowell picked up 3 votes in each of his first three games from his debut before copping an injury. Very happy for him, he has definitely added a bit of drive out of a contest to his grunt work inside this year.

What the [censored] is an All Australian jersey? Pretty sure they get jackets, and on field players wear [censored] guernseys!!!!!

Well from the audience reaction it looks like Viney over NWN wins the WTF award for the night.

Pathetic stuff not showing Langford during the top 5 rising star announcements.

Anderson a regulation midfield clearance goal. Darcy a dropped mark falling across a pack like an unco in a mosh pit.

Please not Bailey Smith

Hard to see Michael Christian not suspending an oppo player if the Pies win tomorrow though.

Weird that West Coast is considered to have more emotional baggage than Western Bulldogs, despite having won a flag more recently, and having a vastly more successful history. Must be the recency aspect, I guess.

Did any interviewees not have either in their best 25?

I loved his story when we drafted him - first ever 4th generation VFL/AFL player. Injuries have really ruined his last couple of years, but prior to that he was an important piece of our team through Premiership phase. 100+ MFC games and a Premiership. May he partner with a 7ft tall high jumper and have many father-son / father-daughter candidate children.

I'd imagine chandler might drop a little from here. Langford and Oliver might rise a little too.

He's a basketballer (like Pendlebury) that we've added as a cat b rookie for next year. Was announced a month or so ago.

Don't knock our "19th man" 🤣

Hey Essendon, the last time you won a final the Gold Coast Suns didn't exist.

Very disappointing. At least GCS got over the line against Freo.

Yeah for me i was clicking on the 7mate live stream and it was counting down "starting in 10 min", "4 min", "2 min", "1 min", only to then have it happily keep going to "-1min", etc.

The interviewers in this coverage are dreadful.

Kozzy gets a blazer!!!

He got it! 8th blazer for our legendary captain!

Oops

Apparently they were conducted a day or two ago, though perhaps not for the players still playing VFL finals. Don't think it's possible to wait for new coach appt as players start their leave period soon after last game.

Did Adams have a poor game though? I thought he looked pretty composed and didn't seem to make too many mistakes, but I could be mistaken. I certainly don't recall it as being anywhere near as bad as Petty's debut game years ago, and he's gone on to be pretty solid.

Best young player award goes to someone at an age when many AFL careers almost done. Nuts.

Fingers crossed Gawn gets the nod. The pessimist in me fears that the powers that be wouldn't want Gawn to share a record 8th AA blazer. He deserves it though. Great ruck stats this year and smashing it in contested possessions and marks.
