I just want to say thank you DLers for all your votes. Without you this award doesn't happen. There's always different perceptions of what a good game is and I really enjoy reading the number of different slants on performances. Give yourselves a pat on the back!

Knew I could count on you 😀

You know how there is dark tourism and people visiting places where negative events have occured? This interview is like 'dark podcasting' where an interview occured moments before tragedy..

Daicos's injury is not the type you rush back for. I've got no factual knowledge to back that up but hopefully someone will jump in just so I can look good.

It's done now. Guess it beats an interstate game.

Need someone with speed and skill. Don't poo poo it yet

I'll be deathriding Everton till the next deathride here.

What a weird day of footy watching. Went out for coffee this morning and didn't watch a second of the Port v Richmond game. As soon as the result came through and we knew it was a dead rubber, I knew I was just going to sit back with the game on in the background and not have a stressful Sunday for a change. And for the first half although we didn't look fantastic, it looked that way. We come out in the 3rd quarter looking as limp as a charity wristband as the Swans bang on 3 straight goals and are slicing us with clearances out of the centre. Coinciding with this is vision of Fritsch hobbling off and that familiar sick feeling we've been getting a lot as of late. Fritsch begins to jog up and down the boundary line but just to make sure the air continued to be suffocated out of us as fans, in form man Melksham has that ligament twinge looking injury. I said a few weeks ago that Petty felt like the most heartbreaking injury of the season but this could be right up there as well. I'm absolutely shattered for Jake who missed out in 21 and was in good form. I love what he can offer when the ball is in his hands and I felt like this could have been his finals series. It will take an absolute miracle for this is be anything other than a serious knee injury. Somehow Fritta comes back and the man who so many here hate for his kicking at goal ability comes out and snares one to get us going again. Laurie came on and had instant impact, that kick to Pickett absolutely sublime. We come out in the last quarter and bury those cockroaches. Fritta excellent, just hope the foot is OK. We could have wilted, we did not. We dug in and showed that winning is important. If we had a tanking culture once that taught us how to lose then let's give credit to a team that now wants to win at all costs. And make no mistake this was a great win with our backs to the wall. Winning for is good form and we will be there with good form. Thought Trac worked his way in to just about BOG, Viney relentless in the last, Brayshaw has been amazing lately, Mcvee, May all outstanding. But Alex Neal-Bullen take a bow. I used to think of Simon Godfrey as 'Mr Endeavour' I think ANB is the modern version of this. He just works so damn hard and I think his worth has shone through this last couple of weeks (obviously a better kick than Simon too haha). Bring on Collingwood, much prefer to play them in this final than later on. Make it a blessing to finish 4th? It's just a number. This one is for all the marbles, go out there and win. Another home and away season done, top 4 is no mean feat. It's been great being on here with all of you. There's people you get along with great, there's people who disagree with you but the one thing I love about DL is that if you're here it's because of one thing. You bloody love this footy club and regardless of anything else, that's good enough for me. Going to bed now, take it easy all GO DEES!

To have him by the short and curlies is an understatement but hey who wouldn't want more Prime time BT wisdom after all? Oh taking the day off the next day is a must now. No chance at all rocking in on Friday after all that emotion. Still a pain in the butt and will have to try to nick off early as well. Finals timeslots need adequate breathing space, they let us down.

I don't see any other matchup shaping the finals series more than this one. Maybe if Port get over Bris that is bigger but still not sold. I think all eyes will be on the G.

It'd absolutely stupid and making things unnecessarily difficult. How did we end up with this garbage day and timeslot?

Quite liked Laurie's game

You know something Nudge?

Please T-Mac just be able to move, that's all I ask.

Ah yes, the Robbo show in Rd 5. Pretty sure round 20 was a Steven Febey BOG performance?

I don't mean to be rude but after that display I really think it's time for Carlton fans to shut the hell up. Congrats for making the finals and getting a couple of fortuitous wins but they don't put premiership cups in the trophy cabinet for 9 game winning streaks. This football caper is not easy and they're about to find out that this thing called finals is bloody different. Sure you boast king cobra Curnow and fake Brownlow medallist Cripps but I wouldn't be surprised to see them binned in the first week.

Well probably more but then I won't live to see the actual flag.

Is T-Mac back? Is he going to rise from the ashes?

Yeah a new means of deathride transportation.

I'd pay $1,000 right now for it to just turn out like that.

Gee that's not good...

I've never had a good experience watching footy at the SCG. Apart from being $50 minimum for a GA ticket there's few decent vantage points to watch from. Totally agree being on the pocket on ground level might be the worst spot there.

Yeah where's that guy?

There is no chance in hell this will all go smoothly. Just need those sweet sweet tickets and away from black and white bin dippers

So good having a thread where you can do whatever you want. But I'd never act on it.
