Great grab from JVR! Love that left foot pass to Kozzie from Deakyn Smith. Assume that is his opposite 👌

We deserve to be favourites for the 2022 flag no doubt. People often question will we have the hunger to go again. But I haven’t heard many people mention the belief the playing group must now have after winning the flag. This must be huge for us. Then there is also the pressure release of not carrying the weight of that flag drought. 2021 is only the start. Enjoy the ride

Yes it could well be. Vaguely remember something coming up about it a few years back. Might be just poorly umpired.

In regards to concussion the AFL need to stop rewarding players with frees that get hit high when they choose to lead with their head. Doggies will be in trouble if this ever comes in. Jack McRae free in the GF against Viney - in 3rd Quarter (centre clearance just after the Brown goal) was a prime example of this. McRae was low and just ploughed his head at Vineys knees to draw a free. Unnecessary risk to his head. If no free he would be less likely to do it.

Anyone know the reason for 2 Fri night games in round 3?

News reports starting with “Demon Premiership Stars……” - will never get sick of hearing that.

Bombers at the G on a Fri or Sat night would be the best I think. Bombers will be talked up all preseason no doubt. Up and comer against the champs. Dogs at the G has less appeal to me. Lets play them mid year again.

ANB - I was def in favour of the trade talk back to SA at the time.

Board must have bought the story that they had 6 players crook leading into the prelim hook line and sinker. Well played Chris. Still trying to work out how they got so close to us in round 23.

Given the Blues handed over pick 8 for Saad I wonder what they will end up giving up for Cerra. No way we could have really got involved here without trading out a few premiership players. No thankyou.

I wouldn’t say I was hollow but I know what you mean. My real emotion was when we when we kicked 3 quick ones to close to within a point in the 3rd after looking nearly gone. And then the other 3 goals in a min at the end of the 3rd. These patches will be my ever lasting memories of day we broke the drought.

Great news. Very happy with this.

No. First thing I checked. I was so pleased.

Do you think he wants to be a defensive wingman the rest of his career? He must be looking at a 300k paycut if he stays.

Good players don't come cheap and we will need to give up something to get this done. You need to give to get. Brayshaw to me is the one that has some currency and may look to seek opportunities elsewhere. He signed for 4 years on the back of good year in 2018. He is probably being paid as one of our top 5-8 players where in reality for the role he is playing he is more in the 15+ bracket. His next contract if he stays will reflect this. He has a call to make.

Always been a fan of the Weid but his inabiilty to take those one grab marks has me worried if he will make it. Hope he comes good.

Don’t think Gunston is a free agent?

If Kozzie was eligible where do you think he would finish?

IIRC Smith played on Cameron in the round 22 game last year at the Gabba Happy to see how he goes against the Cats. We know what Hibberd can do if we need to bring him back in for finals.

Jason Taylor what a star - the bloke has had more hits than the Beatles

As professional as the AFL is the lack of integrity as a 'competition' is mindboggling. (How you can have a 22 game season for an 18 team competition). The 2021 finals series will be another example of this. In spite of this I still follow the game closely. I guess the enjoyment I get from seeing the Dees win trumps it. Go Dees

If only you could mute the commentary and still hear the sounds of the game. You need to hear the umpires whistle I think. I have it as quiet as I possibly can.

From his commentary Joey Montagna didn't think there was much in it....

Suns play in Melbourne round 21. Marvel would have to be odds on to host this one.

Going into a hub was always going to affect the Bombers. How many times can you get a vaccine shot before it starts to look suss? Obviously had to wind things back a bit.
