Maybe Gunston knew it was Jack moving in on him and he couldn't get his shot f or goal quick enough. Lucky he was wearing brown shorts.

Agree 100 %. We bobbys must stick together.

Maxy's fantastic mark in defence at the end. I was a bit worried for his wrist upon his landing though. Hibberd's chase preventing a Hawk goal. If his hamstrings have been a problem they are not now. Oliver's chase to earn a holding the ball decision. Viney's weaving and brute strength to twist andwork his way through a congested pack to deliver a great pass to Brayshaw. What a game from this relentless competitor. Brayshaw's fantastic mark in a pack. Pure courage personified. Melksham's absolutely effortless left foot snap from over 50 metres to allow us some breathing space. He does this often, He is a very powerful kick. Spargo's football brain and clever, creative play. He is so cool. Watching all those pre bounce smiles from the arrogant Hawks players disappear as the game progressed. You could almost hear them saying 'This mob is a pushover'. It must be great for Viney and Vandenberg to get real reward from all the rehab they did for most of the season. Those two and Jonesy must be feeling so proud at the moment. May they become even prouder still.

Viney would have collected at least 5 more votes if the last two matches counted. What a gun he is!

I would love this. In finals over the years we have won 19 out of 20 times against Collingwood.

What a truly gutsy win! One incident that typified our efforts was the incredible sprint by Hibberd to prevent the Hawks player having a certain goal by diving and smothering the ball/. I stood up and applauded loudly in my lounge room! Don't think he would have heard me though since I live in Perth. A couple of friends who follow the Weagles said to me before the game that they would sooner play Hawthorn in the prel final .Sorry guys ,you have got us.

Me too , Sorry Sam I really didn't think you were going to make it. How wrong was I ? A truly brilliant game.

Does anyone think Barlow at 30 years would be a inexpensive replacement for the great Berniie Vince? Never be as good as Bernie but could be useful as a depth player. Says he would jump at the opportunity to continue his illustrious career. Knows how to get the ball.

I hope the players don't have your defeatist attitude mate. Also quite a few more posters are throwing in the towel very early. I stated earlier in the week that finals started for us today with a triple chance. That has been reduced to a double chance now but we still have our own destiny in our hands. These are teams that we have to beat if we are going to give the finals a shake.

Even if we lose both we still have a glimmer of hope. Essendon lose to Richmond and beat Port.( Finish on 48 points but much inferior % to us.) {Port have just lost Dixon for season.) Port also lose to Collingwood. Finish on 48 points with lower % than us. Never thought I would ever be hoping for an Essendon win. Port v Essendon in last round could decide our fate. BUT why can't we win just ONE more game with Melsham and Hibberd hopefully both available? I'm not writing you off yet Demons.

He was certainly looking at the right vision Doc. Gaff was looking directly at Brayshaw and bang went his fist into his face. He then looked behind him and ran off. Quite cowardly.

Ditto.

Ran off and looked guiltily over his shoulder.

I thought you were going to abstain from reading my posts. Not a man of his word?

Is there a huge difference? I think not. You seem to be having trouble dismounting from your high horse.

Yes oh master! Whatever you say sir. McQueen made assumptions that the punch was not aimed at Brayshaw's face but his gut. Is this not defending his actions in some way? Off your high horse mate.

Just read the whole thread to find them for yourself.

You wouldn't be affected if that was done to your brother? Andrew physically and Angus mentally. Must be a terrible situation for Hamish too.

Read the entire thread and you will see who they are for yourself. McQueen for starters?

It wasn't Gaff that took it on the chin. Many posters here are almost condoning Gaff's thuggery. My real symphathy goes to the entire Brayshaw family. Hope this incident doesn't stop Angus from showing us his real talent.

What is the umpire signalling in the video? Surely not play on. Has he got tunnel vision?

He wouldn't be a good fit at MFC now. Can't imagine Angus being too friendly after his young brothers injury. Disgraceful by Gaff. Probably get off with a reprimand. Remember, he is an Eagles player.

Very happy for Jack. I sincerely hope he can capture some of the form he displayed in his early Melbourne days All the very best mate.

That's dead right.

Stupid, childish comment DeeSpencer. Maybe you should get out there and bolster our defence. Fair dinkum mate, you sure have Lewis on your hate list. Talk about blaming one guy for our disappointing loss.
