Unbeknownst to me, I won a playing jumper signed by the squad at the start of this year so I wouldn’t mind if we win - I will frame it and put it in the pool room. ”I wouldn’t mind if we win” … ”unbeknownst” … I am insufferable some times.

Smith and Jackson would smoke him.

They can't tease the appeal and then not bother. It isn't great that the AFL is going to distract from the build up to semis but this is news and clicks either way. 3 weeks is a poorly executed bump on a player - so if you are an umpire you are now just another person on the field, hated by all, blamed by nuffies for all issues, and fair effing game... I don't want to see Greene until Rd 6 next year.

Why do I want Geelong? Because we have to end it. Fate is calling and it is time to pick up the phone, take a deep breath and just end this.

Seemed aloof didn’t he??? Should have been more excited!!! Acted like a jaded teenager,,, I don’t know why we bother putting any effort in or even getting up in the morning!!?? He’s just gonna go back to GC when he’s any good… Ok, I lost the thread with that last one but you get the drift. And I say this every Olympic year but “…” is an ellipsis and can be used to assist in paraphrasing or to allude and the end of sentences. ”,,,” is nothing, means nothing and you should be ashamed if you ever use it. rp out

I can see this happening. Jackson, Spargo, Kozi, Rivers, Sparrow, and Petty is enough of a young/inexperienced brigade for a prelim into a possible GF.

We all need to let that go. Neeld, Schwab, gutnick, Ridley, whatever it is. Our history is ours and Lyon is a part in that. All can be a part of our new history.

If you could define how Harris played as playing 'on' someone...

I described him as a “bad [censored] assassin” in the post match. He was in 4th gear whenever he was near the footy and he was not only helping ANB, Kozi, and Spargo with the pressure he was the 4th member in the quarter of death that will bring us our flag (whenever that may be). My criticism of him was that when he doesn’t do that defensive work, his offensive has to compensate and he has to be elite of he is a liability. I doubt the message to him from the FD is much different tbh.

And may they be shaken by lightning strikes, and beaten by aggressive bouncers. Amen.

The ‘keep conceding’ was just a flourish to set up my larger punishment. All good. After the footage this morning- it should be fairly straightforward. We play a ragged Geelong in a fortnight. And we do what we did to the Hawks in 18. We end it.

Fritsch doesn't do what he did without Brown and TMac. He can be better but what did we have - 3 players lowering their colours? Do people not know that even when you're playing finals and are the best team - there will be those that struggle in games. The amount of time that will go into Oliver in the PF will be intense - he may work through it but he will also need the kind of support that Tommy's forward brethren gave him last night.

Keep conceding... 6+ please and a fine and an extra massive suspended fine. And he can then apologise. He tried to intimidate an umpire while discussing another stupid decision that he himself made.

”I would stop hitting you if you showed me some respect!” terrible effing message

Absolutely, and if Stevic is in any way going to be the reason why he gets weeks or gets off then suddenly it's about this person and not about what Greene did, what it looked like as a part of the product of AFL footy, and what example it gives to kids and suburban footy full of nuffies that think you should (not can) treat umpires poorly.

The Lions should beat whoever wins today. Geel should beat a Greene-less GWS. The most selfish player in the league is Toby and he needs to be made an example of - you want umpiring to get better? Not going to happen unless you come down hard on the overt disrespect and malevolence that Greene's little bump embodied. Melb vs Geel Port vs BL Thankgod we won that last game. Scott, Danger and Selwood were selling nonsense last week with the 'had to play in Adelaide either way'... lol, what a bunch of self-deluding tossars they are. We should beat Geel but they will try to stop us from playing footy and frustrate us and we have to be 'in the moment' as Jake Lever says. Port will easily get past BL in my opinion - Andrews is injured and Dixon will beat him. Their mids are too quick for the Lions.

It seemed a Dees crowd - who was there? thoughts please. Tell us everything!

TMac stays - he will love to have a week off. He can find 2 goals and earn his keep by keeping someone busy. Sparrow stays - he just reminds me of Guy Rigoni... Weird pull but great role player and built so well - great for a chop out for CP5/CO13. Bowey and Smith may be the ones who are vulnerable. I would play Hunt - he is a point of difference and is a spark plug. He will blaze away of course but he gets us going. Hibberd will be in the frame. Selection is boring. How fantastic is that?

Good on the club for taking the whole squad - it would cost us/AFL a bit but if you CAN do it - you HAVE to do it. This will galvanise the group for years.

Brayshaw was amazing and found that finals on a wing are very similar to what he likes - tough footy where he gets to show his ball winning ability. Viney is pretty good for a rugby player, @demon3165 eh? Fritsch is a bad [censored] assassin. Oliver and Petracca are one two punch that will get us a flag (at some point). The backline was excellent once again. We are the best team in the league and that doesn't mean anything - but it does bring belief - and that is everything. Go Dees.

Season over

@Jaded be hoping for lightning strikes…

Yes, but he now takes his evil sith ways to beat the might of the dark lord Sauron… In Perth…
