If that doesn't get demonlanders of that vintage excited, I don't know what will...

Really needs to be a thread. In my time, Stynes, White, Jolly/Jamar, Gawn...

I was a little critical when he came to the club. Loved him as a player at Crows, but didn't think he would be there when we play finals. Very shortsighted on my part, as he's been one of the big difference makers. Him, Lewis, Cross and other mature agers have had a huge impact on what we all see as a great list build. Well done Bernie, enjoy a well-earned rest, and well done MFC for a great recruitment.

Love the Bridgewater move to Saints. Brees done in a couple of years.

Oh man. How has no-one said this... Remember years ago when we were desperate for Judd to choose us over Carlton? Feels exactly the same. Honestly, I love the rumours about Jesse leaving. Just keep the WA fans praying while we feast on what he produces for the next ten years.

Magnificent. That's all I can think when I see all the in-game pics of the beard. We've had such tough times, but as fans, at least in one way we're absolutely spoiled. He's the very epitome of a figurehead.

Hoooooly crap... Hundley. Rodgers record setting contract... Little bit of Kendricks insider trading... What say you @Macca? Save us the trouble of searching the internet for details.

I've been trying to fly this flag on SEN since Robbo claimed Gunston should be in the starting 22. TMac's kicked the same amount of goals with 5 less games.

It still blows me away that this is going on on any level. Obviously when Kingy says it it has to be looked at, followers will be followers. But why have we considered trading this guy ahead of anyone else on the list? Oliver? Viney? Tracca? TMac? Gawn? If Hogan's tradeble then they are all tradeable... I have a sneaking suspicion that for many who want to look at trading him, they're only proposing it because they fear the next ten years of trade rumours that will follow him as he racks up 300 games in the red and blue. It's almost like they think they're "onto something" by getting in early? It's absurd to the point of stupidity. Get used to it folks. It's only JUST starting. For years we've had kids with potential getting poached who hadn't won anything... Just you wait and see what the media will be like if/when we DO actually start blooding players who become decorated with AAs and Colemans and AFLCA champion awards. I mean, I can't be the only person on here who's fantasised for YEARS about having a gun CHF from another state that everyone creates rumours about? It's like dating a really hot girlfriend. The reason people look is because they're attractive. It's part and parcel of HAVING the good players, isn't it?

I had Cowboys down as a serious scary team this year. I'm not really interested in pre-season, but looking at their list, they're gonna need to find a few guys to do damage this year. Defence might get a bit better with Lee, Taco and Gregory coming in... But offence, gee whiz. Frederick looks like missing most of the season, their WRs aren't big names at all... if Dak or Zeke were to miss time, they'd be in trouble.

Heard it here first folks.

I'm a little bit more interested in him after another pre-season, but yes, absolutely best 22 when in form.

Thanks to Chook (I think) for pointing out his record on the gameday thread. He's the first ever to crack 1000 in a home and away season. If we play a couple of finals and he does what he normally does, he'll go from second into first over Goldy. Thought it needed it's own thread/bump.

And that is, by far and away, our weakest third on the ground. ?

How amazing have the last two games been? Everything we could have hoped for and more.

Watch the final two rounds of this year over and over. Seriously, two of the best games we've played back to back in my lifetime. I have to go back to 2000, off the top of my head, for anything better. Blues/Crows earlier this year when we were smoking them by 100 points wasn't anywhere near as good. The media are on us now, and for once I feel like they're entitled. You put that sort of effort up when it counts and people should talk about you.

I've been going oh god oh (something) for 98% of his career. Something about how he'll gather and automatically run off his man at every opportunity. TMac actually did this a lot too when he played as a defender... So I guess what I'm saying is... Frost to kick 50 goals a year in a few seasons?

Oh boy what do we do with him now?! Lever and OMac can't be moved... And he has earned his spot in the 22 for next year.

"Frosty #17" ?

People getting excited on here about Harmes is great. I wanna see a few seasoned posters break it down though, how good he's been, why and in what ways... He was Ablett like today. Viney, Harmes and ANB as the negating forward... Against Danger, Ablett and Selwood. Viney-Selwood, ANB on Danger when he's forward and Harmes on Ablett all day. We're ready.

Super. It's one thing to say he's offering a target inside fifty... another altogether to say he's giving Gawn a chop out, who ALSO can go forward now.

Yeah, I guess. I'd have liked to have seen some of the backups push. The Eagles injury list is massive at the moment, so many will be pressed into service. But whatever. 3 weeks is an eternity.

Good Eagles. Not one point. Oh well... At least the D showed up I guess.

Oh man. No Wentz as it turns out.

Here we go Wentz... Pass for 0/10, 3 sacks, 4 picks.... I don't care. Just leave the ground on two legs.
