Knights was certainly not the option I would have gone with. It did seem at the time though that he was picked as a guy that could be 'sacrificed' while they worked out who they wanted next. By 2006 you could see that the game had evolved away from Sheedy. He was trying to play mid-90s football...

We backed him for 3 more seasons (or 2.5 depending on how view 2007), which was probably two too many...

In all seriousness though, did they make an announcement on getting rid of the dissent rule, or just let it die a natural death? Just can't see how the Lions can win a flag with their goal kicking

Lol Brisbane. Might need a match fixing investigation here

Boooo

Imagine if they actually added the wildcard gane and you could have the team that finished 10th in this...🙄

Imagine if Brisbane could ever properly take their chances in front of goal...

Pressure got to GWS in the end. Too many mistakes in the last 4 minutes. Great fight back by the Swans

Could we ever?

The stupid thing is; we beat both these teams but are still a mile off

Wouldnl have been chipping the ball to McGrath so we get some 'run'

The doggies players stopping and throwing their hands up expecting free kicks is pretty funny. I'm sure they may have been paid at stages throughout the year, but it ain't happening tonight. Hawthorne just willing to attack the ball harder and run more. Will be interesting to see how it stands...

That little elbow to the face by Ginivan is exactly why someone just needs to knock him the **** out. Might knock some sense in to him

I know it's different because they actually manage to win a few as well, but there's a stat going around that Port's last 4 finals loses are by an average of 56.5 points, which is actually higher than our last 4 loses average (45.3). When they lose, they lose big. As for Geelong, I turn 43 this...

Agreed, pre-grand final seems to make more sense if you are insistent on having a bye. Also gives non-Vic teams a bit more flexibility with how they want to balance travel vs training/prep in the lead up

Do people rate the pre-finals bye? Despite not paying a heap of attention to the season, I was pretty excited for the finals after the way last Sunday ended. Now that there's been a weekend off, all that momentum is gone, my interest in what's still to come has slipped again and I'm starting to...

Are there cliff's notes on what is going on at Melbourne that has caused players to want out?

I don't understand the AA squad at the best of times, but if the position is "half-back flanker who sets up the attack" wouldn't Nick Martin (who doesn't deserve AA consideration) be a better option than D'Ambrosio, as he leads him in basically every statistical category?

Very up and down season for him. Started like a house and fire, but looked like a burned out shell by the end. 10 goals in the first 3 games and looked like he could be one of the top forwards in the comp 24 going in to the bye 18 after the bye, but half of them cam in 2 games against Freo (4)...

Port may have helped a little...

Crazy finish. Go Freo!

Lions by 45

Apparently most of the support staff and cheer squads for Nth v Hawks didn't make it ro the ground on time (source is mate who was a plane with them that got turned around and sent back to Melbourne)

To be fair, some of those millennials got to experience some or all of 4 GF wins in their first 20 years on the planet, and 0 finals wins at all for the last 20; so they might be turning to stats obsession because they have nothing else football wise and have forgotten what successful...

Pretty lacklustre changes after an uncompetitive game, but that's been our our go to for most of the year. Might be for the best that the younger guys can go into the off-season not coming off an absolute thrashing by the Lions

BT by a lot Bruce by the end was pretty bad but his prime was excellent That guy who ended up being a local politician in WA was shit Der-wayne ain't great At the other end, I've really enjoyed Matt Hill on the few occasions I've heard him call a game

It's the EDFL, all crowds are hostile...
