Webber

Except for all his great games that don’t get rated as such. He’s a fabulous leader and essential to the heart of this team.

Finals winner I think.

Pretty easy to dislike that muppet. You just get the sense it’s all about him. Not sure he’d give a stuff about losing.

Think you missed the gag, WCW, but I like the Dim Sim analogy.

He just proved he’s going to be core selection for however long he wants it. If you play the best game of your young career in a final, you’re the real deal. Well done Tommy.

So Dogga only lost his fake tooth. Soft.

NEVER IN DOUBT! (small cough)

We’re just not a four quarter team. Haven’t been all year, barring a couple of games. First goal of the quarter is going to determine this game. They get it and momentum could change everything. Come on boys.

Rubbish. Be sensible.

This.

That’s a very very risky comment, tempting fate. They get some momentum, and things can change. Hopefully not…

Whoah! Spooky. Should be 9 goals up, but more to come I reckon. No let up boys.

Tighten up defence at their forward 50 stoppages and we’re in business.

Garbage of the highest order.

As the cliche goes…..Giants didn’t win the game, Sydney lost it.

Almost as if kicking straight is important.

Yep. Totally unacceptable. Needs to be made an example of, as he often is and for good reason.

Fabulous! And a little bit sorry I asked.

WCW, in what ******** world are you not wearing a Dees jacket?!!!

True that. Hope it’s an Adelaide Oval thing….

Extraordinary finals level pressure from Port…..all 4 quarters. That’s what’s required, and they will be in the Grand Final. Geelong nowhere near it. Take note Dees, gotta be a 4 quarter game. As good as we are, Gold Coast game aside, we haven’t played 4 quarters pretty much all season. Do it tomorrow.

It’s gonna happen, deever! Maybe not next year, but soon enough. Not to diminish his defensive work, he’s fabulous, but I’m perhaps stupidly confident he’s gonna do a David Neitz….

Considering how our club has become all about culture and example setting, she’s going to be on its payroll for a long long time, in whatever capacity.

Interesting to me too. I’m thinking it’s because JJ must be a bit burnt out, given it’s his first full season of footy for 3 years, and as such can only now contribute fully for limited minutes (making him the perfect medi-sub). His TOG was dropping as the season progressed, which suggests they were trying to incorporate the drop-off without leaving him out of the side. Love the boy’s upside though, and that he’ll be a perennial ‘who’s that?’ whilst being a core selection for years to come.

All this speculation about Gunston’s back surgeries just highlights to me how speculation is so often used to fit a preferred narrative. There are a number of reasons to have back surgery, some will have the legacy of significant functional limitation, some won’t, but need extended time in rehabilitation, 6-12 months kind of time. If Gunston is up for more football, it’s because he’s in the latter category. How many ACL reconstructions has Max Gawn had? How many shoulder surgeries for Clarry? Tracc ruptured his ACL in his first season at MFC. Harry Petty missed an entire season with groin issues, having missed 2/3 of the previous season. Jack Viney has his feet, but where is he sitting now? Jayden Hunt’s season was ‘done’ based on ignorant speculation 3 weeks ago. He could very well be back next week. All the issues these players have had have been assuredly confirmed on here (at various times) as being liabilities to their future playing success. If we don’t know, and we don’t, then I’d suggest a calmer, less certain approach to the speculation.
