monoccular

JVR played very well as a forward, and commendably as a ruck, but this definitely detracted from his forward production and development. Will Campbell alleviate this problem, or is he only a back up if Max were absent?

corrected time frame

Axis - well we saw that didn’t work; didn’t appear to even considered when we were at ruck rock bottom.

Where can we get the club to mail you an application form for list manager, game day coach and chairman of selectors, fence? (PS I agree 100% that Fullarton seems to have been a terrible pick up)

Knowing Collingwood fans' collective mentality, I suspect some will "boo" Crips next year because he stole Daicos' Downlow Medal.

But surely he will want to go to Geelong. 🙄😱

Maybe we should employ the said Mr Razor in a new role - “umpire liaison” 🙄

It may well blow up anyway even your mentioning that name.

Schadenfreude at its tastiest 🤗🤗 Didn’t Buckley rip his (the one Voss deserved but voting took place mid last quarter) off immediately and throw it away?

Agree DS - in some of the early rounds the ball was delivered sharp and low forward on many occasions, so much so that I thought the days of bomb it long to the pocket heavy packs were possibly a thing of the past. Sadly we reverted to type pretty soon.

And I thought that Darcy Fort did a great job, though I feel very sorry for the ex-Casey player, Big O.

And the only other team to win from outside the 4 beat …. $ydney

surely the media need to run a headline on the GW$ poor culture.

No

I don’t believe that just because one doesn’t enjoy watching women play football it makes one misogynistic.

Paywall. Agree with most of your points, s o n s, except for JVR. He does apply pressure and tackles, but unfortunately is often buggered by stints in the ruck.

One massive dose of schadenfreude would be watching Daniher the Essendon family icon who told the Bombers to get lost, holding up the cup and waving it to the Bomber fans

Even way back then 🙄

Dangerfield tackle - “nothing to see here. Move on” MChristian

Didn’t Swans lose to the Dogs to be the first to lose a GF to a 5-8 team? Maybe again? Cats must have been close to that in 2007 (or whenever they broke their drought) Just to rub tonight in maybe Chris or even Brad Scott to present the cup if the Lions win. 🤗

OMG those who have a go at the totally banged up Dees choking in finals 2022 and 2023, after a flag, have a good close look at Port and Hinkley. How many straight sets have they done in recent years?

What an absolutely awful decision insufficient intent against Ratagolea - takes the ball a foot inside the boundary with only one way to turn. Disgusting lack of feel for the game.

Too young for Geelong?

I think they were all there 🙄

What a classic choke by GW$ thought that deliberate / insufficient intent decision just shows an absolute zero understanding of the game by the maggot - the guy was pushed in the back as he hit it as far forward as he could off balance. Critical timing.
