I am not against it. But for some reason just can’t see him leaving Geelong.

I don’t think the Brownlow is long enough.

The obvious and more than likely answer is no. But the AFL competition is the most even it has been in my life and next year will probably be more so again. This year there were four different teams in the finals, one of the teams that missed out was last year’s premiere’s the runners up only got in on the back of a massive mistake by North Melbourne. So it could have easily been five different teams in the finals. Next year GC, Adelaide, Fremantle and the Bulldogs will all go into the season thinking they can and probably should make finals. Hawthorn, Essendon and North will all more than likely be harder to beat and cause a few more upsets next year. As the competition gets more even the luck or fairness / unfairness of the fixture will really play a part on the ladder. We have a very strong list but have our weaknesses and they need addressing if not I think there is a chance we miss finals next year. My biggest concern for us next year is the psychology of the group, they worked so hard through the season to give themselves a chance at redemption only to provide one of the biggest choke’s in modern AFL.

Good grief wake up Brisbane.

This is sickening on so many levels.

Well this finals series keeps on giving. If Carlton win tomorrow , what a week from hell we will have.

What a goal

GWS all over them at the minute.

It’s going to be tough watching both games this weekend and so much worse if Collingwood and Carlton both win.

I can totally understand why he is leaving and don’t think we as a club have handled him the best. I mean it’s a bit rich of us to say we want to keep you but we just brought in Hunter to play your role. And Hunter statistically didn’t really add any more than what Jordon was providing in 22. Anyway I wish him all the best but I also think we as a club need to be looking at Rivers, Howes, Gus and Taj on the wings to improve next year on Langdon, Hunter and Jordon.

Bozo would.

I would love to see us going for Jeremy Cameron, Tom Lynch would be handy also.

Well just watched / listened to my first bit of media since Friday night, not sure I was ready for it. Bloody hell I am flat.

I still won’t be surprised if he’s at another club next year.

The best sports psychologist in the country.

Well let’s hope none of our players hurt themselves doing stupid [censored] on mad Monday.

Not sure their reporting Petty could be part of the deal but Adelaide would like Petty as part of the deal. Given our shortage of key position players I think there is close to zero percent chance Petty is traded.

He was available last year, pretty sure I got vomit and face palm emoji’s for suggesting we go after him. His strengths would have complemented our list greatly in my opinion.

Tom Greene is a gun.

GWS trying hard to do a Melbourne.

Umpires getting involved.

Blocking free kicks are as confusing as ruck infringement ones.

What the hell are you doing to yourself watching it four times.

Agree totally, I think after the dust settled last year we could except the excuses / reasons we failed in the finals. This years choke will be spoken about for years to come and no excuses will soften the blow. The most frustrating part we have to wait a year to hopefully see if we can get over this mental weakness.

I personally feel our list management team have rightly been given credit for building a premiership winning list. But I don’t think we improved enough last off season, particularly compared to another premiership contender in Brisbane. The Grundy experiment was one of the most bizarre trades of all time and as serviceable as Hunter has been he hasn’t really improved us. I think for us to improve next year both Langdon and Hunter’s positions should be under threat from Taj and Rivers. I would also look at having Turner train with the forwards and recruit another tall back and hopefully we can draft a smart and skilful midfielder. I think our list management over the next year will be some of our most important in recent memory.
