Quite possibly true Swooper, but nevertheless keep your Friday nights free for the upcoming 2022 season for our numerous prime time slots. Not just because wer'e so good, but its a great style of game to watch with superstars on every line. Advertisers will love us. Strange and unusual feeling. Especially now Kardinia Park and Optus are our fortresses.

The most important 17 minutes in the club's history as BT described it. Watched it twice today. Watch kossie. He tackles weightman and forces turnover to Bowey who kicks to Brayshaw. Then shepherds doggies no.5 to protect Trac when kicking his goal from the pocket. Only multiple viewing helps pick out these little gems.

She had every right to be. Kangas behaviour was less than sympathetic.

If she was genuine, rather than seeking a good headline, she would have referred to the breakdwon in the Brown/Kangas relationship due to unreasonable demands made re: brown and Hub life in 2020. He was always leaving. Just to whom , and we got him.

Good call. I'm surprised Ottens doesnt get more air time on this. He was the differnece for the Cats in the 07 finals, prior to the GF. When off the ground they struggeld and he got them over the line in the Prelim.

Its fascinating to watch the bidding. I reckon 20K is a bargain still . Oliver is the clear favourite. Not the skipper or Trac. His goal at the end of the 3rd 1/4 is one for the ages and will be his defining vision for the rest of his career. Esp given the brilliant running and protection by Viney and the superb handover from Luke Jackson. Classic team effort brilliantly executed in the end by Oliver. In the old days he might have sprayed it. Not now.

True about his hands but that's what you need generally. Your comment about Weid , if fixed, would make him invaluable. As an opposite you mentioned Weid, but think also of Chris Dawes - flat and hard. Fritsch holds the ball comfortably with one hand so size is helpful too. Fritsch , once his hand are on the ball rarely has it punched away.

Nice!

Without getting personal, are you Jaded , but now changed name gievn you support the current Premiership team? Just asking.

The club released mugs twice since Sunday and sold out both times. On the Shop site @13.50. Great design and will make more for sure.

Daisy Pearce was embarassing BT and James Brayshaw, with insightful contradictions all game on stratgy. So much so, after half time BT would often ask Daisy what she thought was happening. The best example was 3rd 1/4 when Lever kicked the ball long on Langdon's wing to a footrace beteween Kossie and Tmac, kicking to TMAC. He was much further forward than Kossies\. TMAC lost the contest and Dogs retained the ball. Brayshaw said that was a win for the Dogs. 20 seconds later May marks the rebounding dogs kick due to the backline set up, pointed out then by Daisy how Lever's clever kick gave the Dees defence time to set back up. THAT was embarrassing.

Agreed. But you missed out Kellie Underwood when referring to Eddie. " I just feel the Doggies are ready to go" Huge insight there. Leave the prognostication to the experts.

Fair comment. Absolutely a great player. God-given gifts don't translate in any way to having a good insigth to a club looking in from the outside. Pure speculation by most and good media fodder. His comments and Ross Lyon's 2021 finals forecast will be seen as comedy gold in the future. As an aside I will be amazed for lots of reasons if Ross Lyon is again a senior coach after this year's sagas.

But its true anyway. - Just now will be rcognised.

Maybe. But we know Fritsch holds the record set this year for the fastest 3 goals by an individual player - approx 95 seconds against the Crows.

188cm (6ft 2) and 84. He's a good size still, but superb leap and in the air, but strong hands also helps. Tricky match up.

By sheer coincidence I found my copy of the Age for Sunday 21 March. The day after the Round 1 Freo win. Its a fascinating read. Iwas using it to light the fire . Two key Headlines. Back page : "Dees 'mature' in defence" Inside main review article; "Dees win but need to be ruthless" The reviews laud May petracca oliver and fritsch. Goodwins key comment was the off season development of team cohesion. Prescient after what happened on saturday and worth a read.

2 huge game breaking moments. Will stand up in all pressures. You can't teach that. Can Cerra? Who knows?

Plus he jumps in the air with excitement when something good happens. Just so engaged as a team player.

Petty is a good call. I was concerned at May's age but now we will have him for a while then have a seamless transition with petty to full hack and maintenance of a premiership standard defence for a number of years. Lever cpntinuing the leadetship role there with the others.

Why is buckenara described as a list "Guru". He's achieved what exactly?

Sat in my Road to the GF T-shirt to watch the game. Unbelievable statistic selling 10,000 units. Well done to the club's marketing team to mobilise that. I note one of the memorablia framed items of 1000 prints at $695 sold out in 24 hours and a new edition now offered. Its all just a donation to the club to secure the future really . Fantastic position. So pleased for the clubs Mgt and Board to now be free to plan and deliver ongoing improvements and the club's future will now never be in doubt. The players deserve this. Listen to Ed Langdons fascinating interview on Gus and Gawy and you appreciate how hard it is for the players and staff trekking out to Casey at times.

And Tmac from reports took a pay cut. But Kane is raising ths as a legitimate issue given the star power clearly inside the team. Cats managed it, so will we. Basically, In jason and gary Pert we trust. (not necessarily Taylor's area but he will have input for team structure for sure.)

The team individually and collectively took the chance to claim all to be top notch finals performers, where reputations are made. For Trac, Oliver, right down to Jake Bowey, to do what they did in front of 3,900,000 viewers cements them as legends career -wise. Some say TMac had a quiet game, but his shephard through of Sparrow's goal in the 3rd 1/4, set up the opportunities for the next 2 goals. Had it been a point, dogs get possession and shut down the 1/4. Huge tick for Tom.

Both incidents cleared yesterday.
