That and a shorter game...

There was a few more problems after that which may be brought up. One when a Carlton player kicked long to an outnumber in the square when McKay was out on the flank 15 metres away. Why kick it long when your best contested mark is not there. Another thing I remember is the red headed wingman (not a bad player) virtually walked the ball out of play on the half forward line with a minute or less to play...it was all or nothing and he showed nothing...needed to dive and knock the ball in board, a Wayne Harmes move but feebly let it go out. Cripps had a great game but tried to win it on his own in the end...it is a team game Patrick. They really didn't deserve the win in the end. Well done Collingwood.

Connor Rose is another, he's had an impressive back half of the season and that was being reflected in the coaches votes. A lock for the 3 votes last night.

Will depend a lot on the next game and of course Tommy playing some decent footy at Casey. If we play like last night there will be no change. Richo kind of hinted at this on SEN today. If we lose the first final and the forward line isn't functioning then the spot opens up.

I think he did well not to knock Zorko's head off. Great restraint & maturity from Harrison... ...what would have happened if he did? The other thing is what part did Harrison play in this, he was a very unwilling participant. ...I think the club and Richo in particular handled this whole situation superbly. It could really have blown up but for calm heads.

Love this commentator... On a par with Brian Taylor as far as doctorship goes...Brisbane player down with what is clearly a knee/leg problem and calls it a shoulder as the runners are dragging him up by the arms.

Surely with that track record they will pick Joey Danniher as next skipper.

That was rather bazar...given that Zorko appeared to be the instigator in most incidents. If they made it to the GF against us (I know they won't), I doubt Zorko would walk off the ground under his own steam carrying on like he did tonight.

...and it would be pretty hard the see how Petty might have misunderstood him if that's what he said.

Unfortunately with no football the story might have legs this week... ...but the EFC should come to the rescue, nothing like a big club in disarray to hog the headlines.

Not that 'Nev' your talk about the players reaction in the rooms after the game is what I'm talking about and you know it. What are you on tonight??? The Petty/Zorko thing is big, we all know that.

You're reading too much into it 'Nev'

Yep... Rivers - Riv is back

If you saw the vision in the room when Goody brought them in you would have seen the emotion of the win...they were pumped.

Riv refused to take his hand, shook his head and basically told him to FO...

Chaplin talked about Jacksons role tonight and the expectations...and he did exactly what he said. You can see why Freo are after him. Hope he stays...

Good to see the adults in control. Well done Richo... Also Riv & Max weren't having a bar of Zorko after the game.

Thanks 'hardtack', that's really interesting...

He missed the 2 weeks prior though, I guess that's why he had a full game at Casey. ...but will be an interesting watch none the less.

Only found out about these girls this week, been around a while now and can play...gotta love the Japanese.

@WERRIDEEthe king of the lists & teams...keep up the good work.

Must admit I've also tuned out...it really adds nothing to the game.
