I'm mentally prepared for defeat. I'm absolutely resigned to the possibility of a loss. But I think we will win.

Palmolive gold never had the same cache.

he can say what he wants .Goodwin cannot. Hibberd's no walk up start. I'd only select him if Hunt was not fit. With an eye to the future.

I tipped a Brownlow from him after his first few games. We will both be right eventually.

Good God man. Please consider those of us trying to digest dinner.

Nathan Jones you are a class act. Thank you for your service. You had a long and not necessarily great time on the field but you just took on more and more responsibility in order to get us to where we are. May they deliver you the grail and beg of you to join them in celebration.

The two best teams will play off. We wouldnt want to sneak by any team. This will be a good GF.

Yes Col, I had to "go away" for a while. My eyes are still adjusting to natural light. Good to be back in the asylum.

Geelong always do Mad Monday really well. The theme this year was looking like Woodstock with the long hair/headband. I'm told it's been changed to Jonestown. Free Drinks!

I'm somewhere between a Bar in The Last Detail and a Diner in Five Easy Pieces. Ultimately I think we're gonna be watching Kofax at the plate . Nurse Ratchett tryna keep a lid.

Jack, You seem perfectly mentally healthy to me.

He’s constantly flabbergasted. Which can’t be easy.

Got to agree. He has really put the polish on this team with his run and clean ball use.Good mark too. The difference seems to be him.Clearly. Best winger since Stretch.

Highly coachable and actually a beautiful kick.

Poor umpirng when they pay such bad free kicks that they have to repeat it later for balance. Very trigger happy umps in the F50. Sack them,demote them,get them out of the game . on the bright side-Our best game in years.. The pressure applied was pure heat.

Who could we trade him for now?

You might have to go against the grain.They'll probably say you lack polish.

Surely you can dovetail the two careers?

Teams make errors dropping those low posession guys for scoring impact players. The low posession guys make the team score more sometimes. Anyway-PHOTOS.

Lyon may be a bit annoying to but Andy Maher makes me want to smash my non-existent TV . He has a voice like a blowfly and an intellect to match. There is no doubting Lyons football ability either. He had zero weaknesses in his game and was one of the best players in an era that was probably the best in terms of skill level and champions. Ablett,Lockett,Lyon... Same breath.

You're first sentence was spot on then the rest of it confirmed the first sentence.

That's an astue observation. He's clearly fluked the 300 odd games we've given him so far and his selfishness shows out when he seeks glory all day long on the park . Not only that,the contracts he signed when we were wooden spooners nearly every year when could have gone to any other club show what an annoying glory hunter he is . To top it off ,the fact that Jones is in the best shape physically for ages means he should be dropped for Melksham who always plays for the jumper. We dont need Jones taking shots for goal (and getting them) just to show off and feed his own ego beacause clearly he just plays to feed his own ego. Tired of Jones burning team mates and disrespecting the club. Time we dumped him while he is playing well just to show what we think of his attitude.

The most consistent and reliable player we've had in the last 20 years.

I'm no fan of either the C. Church or Pell but the media and the prosecution clearly F.ed up the case. He was notoriously good at shifting priests like Risdale and Best around but his personal abuse was not proven , or proven properly and at the time the case looked flimsy and media driven. In my opinion his shifting of culprits and peretrators around the state was more damaging to more people than that which he was accused of in Melbourne . It was a poorly run and executed case against Pell which begs the bigger question of why such a case was allowed to be run when there was a much larger case to answer with the evidence of an entire Royal Commission behind it. The Crimes of some Judges and many of the Police force in Victoria were also allowed to escape punishment for decades of cover ups and inaction as well as participation in the abuse.There is plenty of evidence supporting this. The entire legal system ,State and Federal Politicians and other promininent members of society were involved in the deliberate cover up and participation of the abuse for decades . Pell went away for the wrong thing to save a lot of faces,reputations,systems. It was a bad legal case,run with the intention of it failing.It was in fact ,a diversion.
