It's not all Neeld's fault. Board should have really appointed an experienced coach to stabliise the football side of things. He did himself no favours with the captaincy decision. The pre-game speech before 148 was also an abomination. He did get us Jesse Hogan though. That has to be worth something.

If we get Nicholls you know we won't be winning. Have we won a game he has umpired since Maxy got the 'what did you do that for'?

Same. Euphoria will last a week.

Is she a supporter? Would like to hug her after we win it. EDIT: she's a Saints supporter. Probably needs a hug anyway.

Found this - is a pretty good read. A Brief History of Bernie Vince

Been a great player at both clubs. Also a huge influence in us going from being a joke to a serious football team. Thanks Bern.

Seems GWS are somewhere between 1 and 2 million over the cap for 2019, based on current contracts. Which is why Shiel is on the market, as Coniglio and Kelly are out of contract next year. I'm sure Carlton will take 10 spuds off their hands.

I was crap this year - outside the top 40k.

North think they have got him too. May as well give them the next 5 premiership trophies?

I think journos are climbing on the Gaff to North bandwagon so they won't be wrong if it happens. If it doesn't they can blame their "mail".

The Exers kicked 2 more goals than Carlton for the year. Think that might be 4 years in a row?

Yep.

Pies getting lots of frees early

Dwayne is the worst commentator. Ever.

Just shows that some players just need games at AFL level to adapt to the speed etc.Also explains at time where players come up from Casey and take a little bit of time to show their true ability. Petty wasn't ready but it was probably good for him to get some exposure to identify this.

Lewis Pierce at St Kilda goes alright too. Also 23 and 202cm.

@Chook in Perth normally has pretty good contacts and mail.

Totally this. Gaff is very tasty icing, even moreso given he can now also play on the inside. This year's draft we can go purely best available as there is not much in the need category. Maybe trade for a ruck or find a mature age one.

Very much looking forward to listening to this on the way to work tomorrow.

He is RFA next year, so I'm guessing if he has indicated leaving as a free agent, GWS would prefer to get more for him now than pick 15/16 next year. I would say he is worth 2 first round picks.

I'll be in the tipping again. I also like Thursday night games as I go to the pub lunchtime Friday and depending on the time difference, get to watch at least half of the game. Jets @ Browns looks a cracker. ? Seems Dante Fowler may be traded from the Jaguars to the Jets - also wondering where Dez ends up. Only 16 days until the season starts. Can't wait.

This system was brought in to stop players from being suspended. Hocking has said as much.

No issue with Waleed being consulted - main surprise is another Geelong person wasn't asked. Hocking has loaded up with Geelong people on the Committee and the extras (Whateley etc) and also sees no reason to budge from his pre-determined view (Triple M last Saturday). All to give Danger room to move around stoppages.

I just figured the umpires are in Finals mode where a lot of minor indiscretions are let go so the game flow is better. It was a bit surprising to find out there was 32 free kicks awarded - did not feel like that many watching it.
