I don't think it's impossible to think that they'll want to speak to both Cripps and Hogan afterwards, especially if it is a close finish. Hogan to win it.

Then proceed to trial by combat.

I'm surprised Eddie McGuire hasn't come out and stated that this is our 'Grand Final'.

Within my demographic, male 20-25, it is rampant. And these are guys that earn a fraction of what the footy players earn.

Accurate though, in my opinion.

It was a very good mark too. What a strange career. Still remember what I think was his last game, at Etihad against the Roos. Kicked like 2.2 in the first quarter, with about 12 kicks and 6 marks. At quarter time I thought, 'he's finally clicked' and he proceeded to do nothing for the rest of the match and we lost after being in a very commanding position early on. MFC memories.

Put money on Petracca to win it next year.

Is always very good in close - this is where he needs to be. Quick hands and quick, correct decision making. By foot, he's less reliable but always works hard to find the ball. When he strung together a few games in the later part of the year, he was beginning to look himself again.

What is analrobic running?

When Howe can't kick, I know which I'd prefer. At least McKenzie utilises it. Personally I'd prefer Hall if he were on the table.

It rarely happens, yet is constantly mentioned Demonland every year...

I thought you didn't want him because he wasn't an 'A grader'?

Considering the state of our ruck stocks, probably has to be a yes. We can pick him up for nothing (and hopefully not an enormous amount of money), and as long as he stays fit he is a big improvement on the likes of Jamar and Spencer.

Nope, just selection based on a statistically better performance.

I think King is definitely worth elevating to the main list on a 2 year contract. We don't exactly have a plethora of developing talls and he made big improvements on his game this season.

Absolutely yes. Look at players who've been through similar controversy - Garlett, Liberatore, Martin. I wouldn't be surprised if the God squad at GC made it sound worse than it was. He's still a kid and kids play up here and there. The up side is more than worth it with Harley imo.

Good summary. You are only as good as your last performance or in this case, season. And we finished above them, and our trajectory of improvement is better.

In that respect, it's probably a fair assessment!

Can't agree with that. Rance was a hack for a long time - Tommy looks a far better player at the same age. As for his kicking, he can turn it around. It has improved since the start of the year imo.

It seems to me that people are now accepting he will be traded, based on that fb rumour and conversation with PJ. Has there been any other information, or has the rumour just snowballed into fact?

Salem's tackle on Cameron early was fantastic. Set the tone for him for the rest of the match.

Wtf is Petracca wearing? He looks like an Amish fellow.

Didn't even think about the hoodoo until I was leaving the ground. I'm really happy about this win for quit a few reasons. Hoping it provides a solid springboard into next season.

Phil Scully?

Can be a solid player, as he was today. Calling him a 'champion of the game' epitomises the bipolar attitude of Demonland.
