Bates Mate

Just feels flat. Usually have some happiness for the premieres even against Hawks and geelong teams I despise. But this just feels [censored] can't even feel the emotions from the screen that I usually can. 

Could have lost their 3 finals won all three sometimes just meant to be

Advantage Collingwood. Ridiculous Collingwood get the rub of the green yet again.

Frampton in Leon Davis territory

Bobby hill having the game in a final that kozzie always threatens to have

Intensity is rnd 6 level

Can you imagine the ferals if ginnivan snags the first one

GF crowds not as loud or parochial as they are in other finals, due to the huge amount of corporates and cost of tickets. I actually think that and heat will play into Brisbane's favour

Pettys injury profile is not good. Relying on him to be our KPF is a risk.

💯 agree, so many posters on here assume Petty will be back ready to go next year and just slot back into the forward line in the form he had before he got injured. He had a great couple of weeks and showed he might be the answer permanently but I'm not assuming it will just happen

Entice Taylor walker to cross on a 2-year deal. better chance of a flag before he retires (although i tip the Crows to play finals next year)

Reunited with his great mate Jake lever

I reckon it's Naughton.

Great in the air and like him as a player but couldn't bear to watch him fluff easy kicks at goal every week

I'm starting to think that the brownlow is slowly losing credibility. Neale wasn't a top 5 mid this season, let alone the best.

Hasn't had credibility for a long time now. About 20 years

Well done Jack Viney 7th in a Brownlow thoroughly deserved, and had a better last third of the year than trac. So umps got that right

Bont and trac ,  Gulden robbed

I honestly don't understand how he didn't get a single vote.

Agree. North blitzed us in the 1st then nothing for 3 qtrs and ended up with a vote getter. But these are umpires remember

Neale $1.15 on sportsbet. It's all over

gee how does Neale get votes, he's doesn't really impact games. 

Right under the umpires nose all game and Brisbane win alot without any other real standouts

Melbourne supporter, come premiership player.  In his prime at 27.

No player is perfect, I get players have limitations but at his best can offer something.

Its a no from me if a 2nd or 3rd rounder is the only offer, would rather keep, unless he wants to leave, in which case I would honour his wishes.

Not best 22 certainly , but good depth . Definately would have preferred him over Laurie  and Jordon in the finals this year if he was fit 

McStay is a big out for the pies. I don't rate him much but he had been decent in the finals and takes a good defender. Harris Andrews should have a field day and Brisbane forwards will keep Collingwood backs accountable. Midfield battle will be interesting and could go either way. Overall Brisbane more talented and should get it done if they don't get stage fright

I'm on record not wanting to draft McKercher and the better he is, the stronger my conviction.

If he lives up to expectations he'll be off to captain the inaugural Tasmanian team just when we need him to take the reins from an aging midfield. Yes we'll get good draft compensation but we won't be in the phase needing an 18yo mid.

Bookmark it.

That's some Nostradamus level foresight .I'll take 4 years of mcKercher while our current window and if he reaches the levels you suggest if being a walk up captain for a new Tasmanian team chances are he's helped us Jag another flag. Best available without crystal balling is Taylor's philosophy

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but dead set the fix is in

Gold Coast’s pick 4

“There’s a clear front-runner now and it’s the Western Bulldogs. They’ve got picks 10, 17 and 36, which gives the Gold Coast Suns what they want.

“This doesn’t mean that Melbourne or Adelaide or any other club is completely out of it, but I do think it is the Dogs’ to lose now and I think there’s an acknowledgement from the Suns that the Dogs are the frontrunners, too.”

Good ol tom Morris , always makes to make things sound a sure thing then backtrack in the next breath. They all do it

Giving this a bump as Colby is the exact player we need.

Skillful, quick, kicks goals, hits targets . I hope he falls to us but not sure he will make it. I'd be doing everything possible to get GC's 4 to grab him

I thought the Ch 7 commentary was deplorable.  I have accepted that BTs brain is always at another game but the others commentated not on what they saw but who they saw

Daicos - what a champ; (had just slipped and fallen over)

Sidebottom - ever reliable (coughed up 2 goals)

Peaked when they called the Daicos head high on Greene a great tackle
