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.

Balme will be at Adelaide in 2023?

Congratulations. At least this post makes a bit more sense than your last one.

Yep, next captain is Lever for mine. Just let Trac be Trac. No need to add additional pressure to his game. Lever is a born leader.

Yep, that's it. I was nervous because I knew we were the better team. As the game ended, I simply relaxed.

Being able to share it with others wasn't what made it hollow for me, but that was my sister's reasoning. I think I was hollow because I'd dreamt of a Melbourne premiership for 34 years and when we'd finally won one, I struggled for a new reference point or goal.

I watched this section of the game 5 or 6 times last night haha. Bontempelli was off for the first Petracca clearance, but was then head to head with him for the rest of that patch. He couldn't stop him. It was glorious.

Seeing my sister yesterday, we both said it was anti climatic. Quite incredible really, given we've dreamed of this for so long. I felt strangely hollow after it.

Hope we can convert a few West Aussies for longer than just this finals series. 70,000 members next year is a real possibility. Reckon we'll make $2 mill+ profit now too. Pity it wasn't a $6mill year, but we've got a great chance over the next 5 years to make large profits consistently and strengthen our existing balance sheet with this team.

Having rewatched it a second time, I reckon I might have been a little harsh on my man Clarry. 10 tackles, a goal, a bunch of clearances and 33 is a bloody good game in a GF too.

I hope that muppet Buckenara doesn't get another gig in the Murdoch press this year. Hasn't got a clue.

Completely agree. As she said, we'd kicked 1.6 for our last 7 scoring shots and we needed to kick one to settle the nerves. And bang. Fritsch gets his goal from Harmes. Daisy's commentary was spot on all night. We were playing too safe in the midfield because we were losing contest behind the ball.
