We deserve 5.7 once in a generation players! 1 for each 10 years without a flag. the 4 you mentioned, Kozzie, and Salem can be the 0.7

kicking out Clarko before he is ready to go is worth a 57 year curse at least! means no more hawks flags while I am alive :)

the list is not 50 best players. It’s best players for the year, where he has acknowledged finals performances get a greater weighting. 6 goals in a granny, 59 goals for the year, and key cog in a successful fwd line = warranted 16th spot.

For any demon supporter that still has some tears left. Just amazing.

I think you have to be very careful analysing disposal efficiency in isolation. ie a slow, chip and mark team will always have a higher disposal efficiency, vs a team of midfield bulls, complimented by a very effective defensive structure. same way that you don’t analyse Trac’s disposal efficiency in isolation:- given he is a match winner, who is often biting off tough kicks vs a Tom Mitchell type, who is kicking sideways, running past for handballs etc.

Apologies to all of them & goody. Wasn’t capable of dreaming any of them be premiership players/coach

For a lot of teams where it is plainly obvious we are a different class level above :- I will go easy on them and their supporters. But for Geel (& supporters) we need to apply a no mercy rule......the amount of smugness we have copped for over a decade, requires more retaliation than just 2 h&a victories, and a prelim smashing......need to destroy them every time we play them for the next 5 years!

Hahaha 🤣 a great song if you wanting to kick back with some beers. Not sure how that is meant to fire you up for a GF:- surprised they didn’t lose by more

Yep, I think his nature is summed up by his reaction to loosing a tooth.....have a laugh with the team-mates, take the [censored] out of yourself in the media and then just get on with it minimum fuss/drama

Maybe we all had gastro, like Geel claimed in the prelim

Greedy bugger isn’t he. Next he will have a Brownlow Wouldn’t be surprised if he told Max during the post flag celebrations that he is now 2nd ruck :) :)

This is all true. But remember Jackson did show evidence of being an incredibly talented natural footballer in his limited time at underage level (as well as being a freak athlete) - hence the exceptional player we have

Gutter journalism - realising both sides will be strong for a couple of years, and trying to over-play a “bitter rivalry” that really isn’t there

Haha. Send him this link.

We can all start running sports seminar’s now. Experts, all of us!

First string midfielder at St.Kilda is very very different to first string with the premiers

Great points! I take a lot of comfort from Richo being as well informed as anyone in the merits of giving LD a fresh start

WOW! Who the hell is phil lewis? Surely a doggies supporter.......Hey Phil - Freed from desire.....

Gee those numbers look good. I guess in fairness, do need to consider that LD got heaps more midfield time vs the others who were squeezed out by King Clarry and GOAT Norm

Good character isn’t it - back himself in for a chance at a flag (or worst case play vfl all year) vs being easily best 22 at multiple other weaker clubs

Yep, and don’t forget Richo......not easy for ex-senior coaches to accept a demotion. He looks to have been a perfect integrator/coaching administrator- am sure he be doing many of the annoying jobs that ease the load for Goody and others

Suggested small talk for different supporter groups blues/saints —> “you could be next. You remind me of us a couple of years ago” hawks —> “sometimes a looong re-build is needed” Tigers —> “I didn’t expect Dusty to be replaced as GOAT so quickly. Trac caught us all by surprise didn’t he?” Bombers —> “we get it mate. Hang in there, it’s all worth it in the end” pies —> “it will be nice to pay you back with the lions share of the queens bday crowd” cats —> “rip the band-aid off and start the re-build. Setting yourselves up for too much pain otherwise Lions/Port —> “I guess it’s important to have the game plan to win the big finals isn’t it” Dogs —> “that Freed from desire song is a ripper. I will be listening to it all summer” Swans —> “unfortunate that you couldn’t afford to keep your young players” GWS. —> “Hopefully Toby has pulled his head in and resolved his discipline/madness issues?” WCE. —> “we love Optus stadium. Heard we have requested to play 2 games a year there” Suns —> “now that we are a destination club, have heard that King is interested” Adel. —> “Burgo wouldn’t leak crows intel to his ex-premiership mates.....all be fine. He was genuinely keen to go to your re-building club” Nth. —> “hang in there mate - fairytales can happen. It must be nice to watch BB.Brown succeeding in the meantime?” Freo —> “it’s great to share a home ground with you. We love Optus”

Had someone whinge because I was still wearing demons kit when getting a coffee at cafe this morning. f$ck them all - be proud all summer I say. Got to make up for 57 lean years

Any thoughts on who be better resting HFF out of Dunstan vs Harmes? haven’t watched Dunstan closely enough

Great cover in most positions. very happy Weid signed. Brown/TMac/Weid all to work their backsides off all summer knowing 3 doesn’t go into 2 - perfect!! Only change I have to your team is Tomlinson plays if he is fit - not sure how he fits in, but he just plays. Didn’t loose a one on one contest for the games he played this year.
