I'm in

I think the idea was for Grundy to play slightly more ruck time than Max rather than a 50-50 split and we saw that in a lot of games this year. Personally I think 600k a year is decent coin when you could potentially save it to throw at a key forward. I'm glad you don't care what the media thinks and think for yourself, it's a good quality to have as a fan but unfortunately this situation just creates another media circus that we frankly don't need right now on top of the debacle of Clarry's injury. It was always going to be a risk and was always going to be criticised accordingly if it looked like it wasn't working and how long does Grundy need to rot in the VFL before taking over? Damian is allowed to write on this and its not far fetched no matter how much we hate media picking on us.

Get stuck in and have a go!

World at his feet this guy, anything is possible!

I don't give a damn who they are, throw the book at them.

Brody Grundy was sold a pup

Yep 2nd'd, I'm not doing it!

I don't think Freo have a lot of excuses personally, I think they really just need to look in the mirror.

Gus was brilliant on Friday. The irony being that after doing the job on Neale he was somehow free for that last kick to Melksham.

Hahaha thought this was the case

Whoever said we were lucky to win or stole it doesn't know a damn thing about football.

So happy that Judd McVee finally has his nomination. Much deserved and one of the true rising stars of the year.

Next time you'll be first I promise.

The important thing is that you'll be back!

I don't mind the article and honestly from the outside looking in says what a lot of people are thinking. Bringing in a 29 y.o 2 time AA ruckman on big coin then telling him to go back to the VFL to work on his forward craft just looks weird. Why would you buy a Ferrari then be upset when you realise it doesn't do off-road all that well?

How did we go?

Adelaide being poor away from home does not enter my consideration in this game. If we don't turn up we will be beaten. I don't know how many times we need to have a comforting stat disproven to know that it can be danger. Whether it's playing GWS off a bye, best 4th quarters going into the last against Port, most accurate team after 8 weeks or whatever, it all means toss unless we actually turn up.

I'm perfectly fine with a general conversation about umpiring decisions it's just frustrating when that's the main talking point in the heat of the moment while watching a game when in my opinion there should be higher priorities. The dissent rule is a good example of the rule of the week garbage that is making it harder to watch. We can do without the flavour of the week stuff.

You were actually the first person I thought of when I wrote it 😜

What side of the grass are YOU on?

Yeah good point Watson. We were really allowing them to keep the ball moving by letting them hit the easy targets and allowing the round the back quick handball. We definitely got up in their face much more in the last. No point letting them chip it around and then go.

I don't hate Geelong as much as others but I was kinda looking forward to them missing the 8 for a change.

No but I know it very well, lived down the road for several years. They were re-doing the Chapel Oval surface at the start of the year last time I saw.

I’ve watched the last quarter twice and am still stumped how we did it. We started winning a bit more contested footy and clearances but it's so hard to see what changed. We took some more risks. I think Brisbane did go into their shell a bit too early and after looking so confident since the end of the first quarter they started looking scared, missing short options and just banging it long out of their backline. A comeback almost always coincides with a 'come apart'. They definitely choked.
