There's plenty of stiff competition at the moment, but a top 5 finish in the BnF isn't out the equation if ANB maintains his current form. One of our most reliable kicks and decision makers at the moment. We saw flashes of his ability back in 2018 when he kicked 25+ goals and, but his growth as a player over the last year has been immense.

1:07 on the Langdon video is my early contender for play of the year.

Looking like it's going to be a wet evening in Carrara. Wouldn't be surprised if pull a late change and being Bedford back in for a tall.

Friendly reminder that the AFL now apparently uses Neeld's press conferences as media training as an example of how not to behave in media commitments. https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/neeld-just-one-part-of-the-problem-20130617-2odd2.html

Great finish by Gold Coast. Eagles clearly ran out of legs but GC played well. Good to see Matt Rowell back in action. Touk Miller is a star.

Ah, must've tried too hard to forget about it over the years.

Rankine with some Frost circa 2015 tunnelball action!

Have enjoyed Powell's work (no.27) tonight for the Gold Coast. Strong mark and good foot skills.

Thilthorpe with a textbook coach killer.

Gee, Mundy's still a quality player. Could give 400 games a nudge if he wants to play on next year and if his form holds up.

Joe you absolute peanut.

Luke Parker Wow wow wow!

Essendon have at least stemmed the flow, but they have no firepower in their forward line to kick anything resembling a winning score.

Hawkins could kick ten today. Essendon struggling to account for his size and strength.

Glad we missed out on Brad Hill when we had the chance. Coughed it up nearly every time he had the ball for the Saints in that final quarter. Jack Higgins had an absolute mare.

The absolute nerve that we can can come back after conseding 8 consecutive goals without 5 members from our premiership backline. Watch out 2022, here we come!

Couple of wasted opportunities there though Brown and Fritsch but loved what I saw there from the lads. Stay the course fellas! One quarter left!

Looked a bit more settled in the last 10-15 minutes after an absolute debacle of an opening to that quarter. McDonald going back likely helped with that. With Salem out, that's five members of our GF defensive backline out. Need a lift from May after Naughton broke away convincingly that quarter. Petracca may just will us over the line though. He's in one of 'those' moods.

Premier: Melbourne (gotta be optimistic!) Runner-up: Brisbane Wooden spoon: Hawthorn Moving up: Fremantle/Carlton Set to fall: West Coast Brownlow Medal: Jack Steele Coleman Medal: Jeremy Cameron NAB AFL Rising Star: Nick Daicos Best new Demon: Blake Howes Demon All Australian: Petracca, Oliver, Gawn, Lever, Salem Demon B&F: Clayton Oliver Big call: Alistair Clarkson to be named Gold Coast coach at seasons end. Ladder prediction: 1. Melbourne 2. Brisbane 3. Western Bulldogs 4. GWS 5. Port Adelaide 6. Fremantle 7. Geelong 8. Carlton

Pitching this to be preserved in the Library of Congress for being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.' What an incredible documentation of our 2021 Season.

Grand Final time!

Didn't end up kicking a big bag last year (think his best haul was four goals against Gold Coast) but often performed a selfless team role by taking the best opposition defender that allowed players like Fritsch to go absolutely ballistic. Had a superb finals series as well. Absolutely annihilated Harris Andrews and Mark Blicavs in our first two finals.

Meanwhile at Ikon Park...

Is Dunstan playing?
