Jaded No More

Thank the lord we backed ourselves to keep him. No Oliver no flag this year.

A solid reminder that nothing in footy can be taken for granted. A good reminder for the players that it comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Like the Dog’s 19 point lead.

Goody said on The Couch they have to finalize everything by Wednesday. Brutal but it is what it is.

Nibbler for me. At three quarter time I thought the Dogs can still go on a run here. They kicked 6 on the trot and they can do it again. And I thought they’d come out firing. Nibbler put it beyond them.

Nothing like a full bodied Shiraz post flag. Hahahaha so Melbourne 😂

Disagree. “Your hair has held up immaculately”

Hunter is a grub. Happy he played a poor game. When he dropped the ball on the wing in the last quarter I literally lol’ed.

Was it the Petracca interview being interrupted by walky talkies at the back of the pub? So emotional.

One of my all time favorites. Held us together down back for years with sheer determination and some shoulder tape. As brave as they come. As loyal as they come. An exemplary human being on and off the field. Did so much for so many, including Kosi and countless indigenous players before him. A great of our club and a massive part of this success.

Another vital cog to our success. Was the bull protecting the young cubs. Everyone walked taller with him around. I absolutely think GC should grab him. He can do a lot of good for a young team needing a brute force.

One of my absolute favorites for a long time. Hugely underrated. Put his body on the line for years and held a paper thin defense together. He is another big part of our success, having always set standards and been an amazing mentor to so many, but especially Kosi. Absolutely love him and thank him for everything he has done for us. A truly resilient, wonderful human being on and off the field. All the best to Vanders too. I reckon GC should grab him. Could help set standards and protect some of their younger players.

According to my watch I clocked up 6000 steps during the game. And about 100 liters of alcohol after.

All it took to win a flag was to put a woman in charge. Typical.

Not even the best players the Dogs had in their 3 finals. Hilarious.

Things I've learnt since winning a premiership 48 hours ago.... I'm a greedy b*tch and I want MORE!

Trust me, I've worked in product development for a decade. The club is making a pretty penny on that stuff. Those t-shirts would cost like $5 to make. Dad and I just bought premiership number plates!

Agreed. He is a big guy yes, but once he was put off balance he hit the ground hard and had a noticeable head bump. He definitely didn't play it up, and if the situation was reversed and Gawn did that to the little t*rd Daniel, the free would have been there. The sheer fact that it was a little guy putting down a big guy is why they didn't pay it I think. But it was late and it was dangerous and it was out of play. A free kick everyday of the week. Absolutely nothing more. But it did mean Gawn went forward and Jacko went into the ruck, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Also Gawn has 5 years left the way Jackson is helping him out, and going by the fact that approximately 50% of ruckmen are semi-retired and overweight these days. So it's a long way away still.

Lever. Trac is a superstar. Superstars don't need the burden of captaincy.

I want to see what Chandler and Bedford bring next year when VFL is finally back on properly. I think they both have some qualities that will be worth exploring.

Also big big props to Josh Mahoney who made a lot of pivotal trades happen, when others carried on like pork chops about overpaying. Hibbo Lever May Tomlinson Langdon Brown Who gives a single sh&t about how much we paid for Lever now, hey?

Hey @Demonland since you obviously have a way to contact Gary Pert, any chance you can pass on some merchandise requests from the tragics on this site with cash to burn and who are in prime buyer's remorse territory thanks to a combination of 57 years of despair and lockdowns? I don't want to buy anything from sites other than the club's. I rather wait for DVDs and other things to be available and pay more and wait longer to make sure the money goes back to the club, and not some third rate publication like the Herald Sun. But it would be great to know if those things will be available soon or not.

Couldn't even win the free kick count on the biggest stage of the year. Losers.

Watching the replay. 8:53 left in the third quarter. I’m worried. Don’t tell me how it ends.

Hate Hunter, Weightman, Daniel and Libba. All cheating flogs. The rest are good. I even like Casper the Friendly Ghost English.
