On my 5th full replay. It’s honestly the best game of football I’ve ever seen.

Wow it’s interesting watching that, but just focusing on Jackson. Jackson kept his feet when Martin went to ground twice, in the first clip the Bulldogs nearly had the ball at the start and Jackson immediately ran to the defensive side as a sweeper and the last clip shows how multifaceted Jackson is. English takes himself out of the game after the centre bounce and simply trudges but Jackson’s speed and intensity makes it like having another midfielder. Sure, Brown has a point that their lack of defensive structure facilitated our scoring and turning point. But it was Jackson and the mids who had to win it in the first place.

Soooo how long can we leave our stuff up for until our houses get egged?

I’d usually be crumbling, but this is a bit like how we went in with Geelong. Let’s roll them.

First Goal: Fritsch Norm Smith: Oliver Most Goals: Pickett Margin: 26 Points

I am incredibly superstitious - so anything but D!!!

I read that it’s been a last minute deal. Jump onto your AFL Live app and there is a new banner for the live stream. I’ve included a few screen shots below! Hopefully this works for you!

Good news - I think it might be being streamed live on the AFL Live App!

Team, does anyone know who will be commentating on Kayo? I cannot stand BT.

Trust me… red wine and pasta

I’ve gained 2kg over the past two weeks. I can’t stand this anymore. I’m a nervous wreck. Been trying to find comfort in wine and pasta. Made the mistake of watching one of our H&A games against the Dogs… you better believe that resulted in a 2014 Shiraz and pasta, butter and cheese. One more sleep to go. Thinking spagbol tonight.

Pandemics, riots and earthquakes… the Demons are coming 😈

Acknowledged his role was unlikely to continue when you get beaten by 186 points. Showed and read his diary entry for that day he got axed. Certainly didn’t get on Demonland 9 years later to have an unrelated pot shot.

He was a guest at a virtual work workshop I was at a couple of weeks ago. Was frank about the past (Richmond and Melbourne), his firings, depression, life in general and life after football. No comments as you’ve described, but a lot more decorum than you.

I’ve never been embarrassed to wear the red and blue. Certainly, it could have been easier, but it wasn’t. We were in a tough spot. $5m in debt at the start of the GFC, two expansion clubs, free agency and an ageing list. There have been a lot, particularly within this administration who have gotten us here, and sure things didn’t go well with coaching and draft selections back then, but my gosh Jim picked us up and put us on this journey. For if he didn’t start us off I don’t know if we would be here. This win would mean the world for me, but deep down this one is for Jim.

It was good seeing TMac being able to switch down back in the Geelong game to cover May. That versatility puts him ahead of Weids for me at the moment. That aside I can see him improving in the future and if he doesn’t want to go anywhere I wouldn’t trade him. Both Browns have injury history too.

“which way are they going?”, “oh why did they do that?”, “my father says he’s texting you - why haven’t you responded?”, “oh good it’s the ad break, you can talk to me now”, “easy on the red wines, I don’t want you snoring”, “my grandmother wants to know how you’re feeling”, “oh well there is always next year” and my favourite “see, I’m a good footy commentator aren’t I?” to which my response is always… “yep, better than BT!” I love my wife but I need to watch this somewhere else.

Hmmm the doggies are a very dangerous team. Deep and powerful midfield, who know how to put scoreboard pressure on too. This is going to be an awesome game.

Given my ticket to a mate’s son (WCE supporter) who has been barracking for the Dees this finals… under the strict condition that he gets a scarf and doesn’t go home until he’s lost his voice. Go Dees!

Just heard that the RSPCA has been inundated with calls about cat abuse.

Win or lose I am so unbelievably proud of Jack Viney. What a game. Absolute finals footy efforts.

I'd like to see the number of rules addressed. Make it easier for the umpires, and it aligns to the AFL’s vision of faster footy. Kicking in danger and 360 degree tackles being holding the balls are hardly paid. Get rid of them. Put the focus on the ones that matter. I’d rather see less holding the man and more blocking players from competing in marks. That’s more exciting footy. IMO the AFL did a similar approach to rucks taking possession and it’s been fantastic for fast flowing footy.
