Hawthorn wasn't a loss. 😜

I had that thought too. Back to Essendon. Has it been long enough?

He's inside / outside. He spreads from the contest like Oliver and Petracca do. He's a freak. Thank you, Jason Taylor.

My son was born on the Monday before Round 1. Every game day he wore the MFC onesie. The day we played Adelaide he threw up on himself and we had to change him. The day we played Collingwood he [censored] on himself and we had to change him. The night we got beaten by the Bulldogs he threw up on himself. I can't explain the GWS loss. 😂

He is?

I'm one like Leppitsch and Beveridge that haven't rated rucks. I'm on record as calling it a junk position, but as others are saying, Jackson has reimagined what a ruck role looks like and has elevated it as a position to exploit. I keep hearing people say Jackson jumped over the top of English. That's not how I see it at all. He simply halved the contest, ensured the tap didn't go wide and dropped at his feet. From there he became a midfielder and that's his strength because most midfielders, let alone rucks, cannot compete with his athleticism. As for Dwayne, he'd be hating Melbourne's recent success. He won't know what to do with himself. Has been a long time hater.

That was your best intro ever, Andy. Spine tingling with the use of expletives. Looking forward to the return of the podcast.

I know things change, but I'm now even more intrigued by the Frank Valli comment mate. 😂 I assume you just like them and we were on like Donkey Kong and then something changed. Is that the gist of it?

Interesting, given young Darcy is meant to be a ruck/forward.

Cerra is quite a bit better than Sparrow and JJ, but I love those boys too.

Is this true? Does anyone have the CBAs?

I'd forgotten about those snide remarks earlier in the year. Well, shove that right up them.

Can you put this in a riddle for us mate?

Winning flags helps suppress wages at a good club with a strong culture. If our culture is as good as they all say it is, guys will keep taking unders to keep the group together and have sustained success.

We've spent most of the year renegotiating contracts. He's a reactionary that looks for clicks and nothing more.

I don't have anything against Bulldogs supporters, but their team is so full of FIGJAMs they give Geelong a run for their money. Beating them was a delight.

Yeah, this is a great thread isn't it?

The bird flies West with a Dangerfield is on his way.

GWS, Essendon and Carlton will improve next year. GWS are the ones though.

Yes, thank you, Jason Taylor. What an amazing recruiter. Can't wait to see his work this year.

Love him. What an inspiration.

I think we need a bit more x factor at ground level inside 50, but it wouldn't be Gray anymore. The x factor has to be matched by an ability to bring the heat. Spargo, Kozzy and ANB were superb this year though. Love that they're now premiership players. Incredible.

Oh yeah, I was crying in the immediate aftermath of the Geelong win. And I cried a number of times in the build up to the GF, but only once during the game. Love the name change.
