  2. I had Ron Barrassi football boots and he was something, I loved Robbie Flower. Big Jim was amazing as well. The thing is we some new greats in the making and how fantastic is that!
  3. Lid is off! Congratulations to the team and all fellow supporters. Its been a long time coming. Stayed off until now to disgest the win but I have 34 pages to read....slowly just to relish it. Curse done superstitions gone (except in the 3rd I remembered I didnt have socks on in the geelong win so they came off and have now been binned, made all the difference apart from our mids, jacko and Fritta). I am just so thrilled for all our supporters especially those on demonland. Wow just wow.
  4. I think this week he cant add to any other suspense being felt.....
  5. Seriously why would you tell the world and the umpires you are going to interfere with Gawn in the contest? Its not a good plan the last time I recall that happening this year the umps started awarding Max frees. Still it points to Jacko getting let off the chain and them being distracted by Max.
  6. I have been wondering the same thing, it would throw the Dogs If Jacko took the first bounce (wont happen) as their sharking plans will be off and the extra tall mid in the center may cause some mayhem. It would also mean their plan to be one extra and one wide at clearances is also disrupted. I'd certainly make the change for the second centre bounce. Whilst the dogs try to disrupt Lever big Max can drop back. I also think this whole idea (which the Cats also were on about) of having too many talls for our backs is misplaced. Everyone seems to forget Petty can take the number one forward we have 3 very good tall backs along with Rivers who is a good match for Hannan.
  7. Just a wonderful person, we are privileged to have him at our club.
  8. Pardon me for not reading the whole thread and risking repetition. First Congratulations to Ollie Wines he had a terrific year and to the others over the 30 mark. Ok down to business, the brownlow doesn't celebrate the best in the game, just the best in the midfield. I get they tend to be ball accumulators and often are players who turn games but that is not the whole story of the game. For example why should Tmac get more votes than Lever or May? I am glad Tmac was recognised but backmen get no recognition beyond all Australian. It really needs to be addressed, at least forwards have the Coleman which is a pretty objective award, why isn't the coleman medal awarded on Brownlow night?
  9. I reckon all the supporters who have made it this far. As an aside I was nervous last week but less so now as i really feel we have got the monkey off our back this year and i feel the whole team will do their jobs,.
  10. Reported Yze had his second jab yesterday, so he might be feeling the effects of that. In any event best they stay away. Our docs will be all over this. They should have had a curfew.....
  11. Absolute legend of the club. Thank you Nathan my daughter's most treasured jumper is her 2 yo one with your number and signature.
  12. Congratulations To Nathan, Jerri and family.
  13. Even if Goody didnt use it in the way described in the video how good would it be to see all Dees supporters using it in the crowd!
  14. Agree its not personal when you get to to a GF. Glad I dont decide as they face the same issue with Hunt as he wont have played for some time. I feel for both of them as they would know if there is to be a change it will come down to them. I assume they will tell them privately well in advance so the only nerves the team has are those associated with a GF.
  15. This very thought entered my head this morning but honestly hadnt watched closely enough to know if he is accountable both ways. I just cant see him getting the space he has been allowed in the other matches.
  16. Unbelievably its likely to be no changes. I think of Jones and get a tear in my eye every time. He is a legend of the club. The debate at selection will be if Hibbo is agile enough for their forwards or do we go with Hunt who is not going to be match fit. Tough call. In the end I think you go with the known quantity which means no change. Some very unlucky players who deserve a lot of credit for our development as a team.
  17. Just emerging after Friday night. Family in Perth went and now have tickets to the big dance. It weird that after all the years our staunchest fans wont be there but like many others I felt very connected to my fellow demons. However the lid is not off yet.
  18. I don't know who Cara (sp?) is but hope her spirits have been lifted this week. We all will be cheering with you and more importantly for you. Shows the character of our team to do this. And to Jack, glad to see you now have a little red and blue.
  19. What is the conversion rate for inside 50 marks?
  20. I guess Rohan and Cameron are reasonably mobile . I thought the pundits had been banging on for weeks now that the way to penetrate our defence was to go in low and fast (centre breaks) or get it to ground.
  21. As I said above I dont see how 3 talls helps them, we just halve the contests it leaves us a much more mobile unit on the rebound. Add: Just looked Ratugolea's stats AF 30, to see if they came close to justifying the rave reviews and fear mongering in the media. 1 Tackle 1 Mark. If he is there to impact the packs I dont see how that helps them. I'd be genuinely interested in other views on this.
  22. My family is confirmed at 16 "good" seats with plenty of scarves on the way (always knew a scarf a year for everyone in the household would come in useful). I hope they are seated with the other faithful.
  23. Very happy the club allowed us to send our barcodes to relatives, well done. Mind you my brother in Perth and his son finally coughed up for a membership. I am told they will have 16 in the crowd which is fantastic. We can win this. I think its interesting Geelong has not won more in the time its been in the finals and wonder if the home ground has helped get them there but is a drawback when they play the finals on bigger grounds. I hope so.
