The AFL does the invites. The criteria for invitation are based on a range of factors, including the player's performance throughout the season, their popularity, and their contribution to the sport of Australian football. Past winners get an invite every year.

It’s harsh but reputations are made in finals.

Probably how Shane Harvey and Jay Viney feels?

I think Binman was referring to John Fogerty from Credence Clearwater Revival (CCR)

Yeah he’s only just turned 16

I’ll go one better. Rather than just have my opinion, here’s 3 games where it was reported. Anyone who’s watched them play it’s been pretty obvious he’s been e played as a tagger plenty of times.

And then we sign up the pea heart for another year! one of the very few players I’ve ever seen that looks dead set terrified on the field.

If we had a decent coach we win this years flag.

Didn’t play tough at all. Zorko squibbed badly. J Berry was awful. so some silver lining at least.

Sometimes I wonder if posters even watch the footy.

Not at all true. Played as a tagger plenty of times. Read Gawns captains diary if you need to confirm.

Interesting. It was a good enough tactic for the Scott and the Cats in finals last year. I think they qualified as one of the “best teams” in September last year. it was a key reason the Hawks beat the Pies a few weeks ago. not doing it was a key reason GWS lost on the weekend.

I don’t understand why we don’t play Harmes in his best role. He plays his best footy as a shut down player. We have seen the importance of that type of job in recent weeks. why doesn’t Goody use him like that anymore?

Penny isn’t too bad on the eyes!

100% an opinion can be wrong. I work with a peanut who thinks the earth is flat.

And if your Aunty had balls she’d be your uncle.

Corrupt

Gee Daniels has been awful.

Sniffs his own farts.

BT sounded like he was going to cry when GWS were on top.

Callum Brown absolutely squibbed it vs Markov and cost a goal. [censored] weak.

Right you are. I was counting seasons where he got on the park. But considering he’s getting a salary and a list spot, 8 seasons it is.

Source?

100%! This drives me crazy. if I was coaching it would be front and centre or you’re on the pine. it’s under 12s stuff really.
