We still remain the only team to win it under the McIntyre system without playing a home final.
I agree it's a good thing for a team in the bottom half of the 8 to win it. No team from 5-8 made the grand final under the current system from when it was first introduced in 2000 until we got...
Nothing more scripted that the mic'd up Auskick kid telling a player "you're my hero" before the inevitable news.com.au article "Incredible grand final podium moment". Every single year.
We gave up quickly before the meaningless last quarter. Sydney stopped midway through the 2nd, as they did in 2022. "Bloods culture" is as big of myth as "shinboner spirit" - both need to be put to bed.
I love this for Sydney's bleating fans.
Could easily blow out to 100 points plus if the Swans give up like we did in 21. The final margin when they're 50+ never mean all that much in grand finals when that happens.
On the jumper - based on precedent over the last decade we definitely should be getting a new jumper set for next year after 2 in the toilet seat kit.
The most important thing is a redesign of the away kit. Had we won through to the Grand Final, we'd be facing Brisbane and almost certainly be...
Pre any FA compo, priority picks, F-S or NGA bids etc:
In 2020, Essendon reportedly offered 2020 pick 7 and a 2021 F2 (pick 30).
Instead we got 1 x GF appearance, 1 x B&F year + 2022 pick 21, 2023 F1 (pick 17), 2023 F2 (pick 35), 2023 F4 (pick 53), and gave up 2023 F3 (pick 46) and 2023 F3...
Yep, I edited my post before seeing yours, he was already moved to Cat A ahead of this season (see below) but you're right - if Geelong are offering him a senior list position for 2025, this is off the table.
On Clohesy, he was selected as a Cat B rookie at the end of 2022 and remained a rookie (shifted to Cat A) at the end of 2023 (https://www.geelongcats.com.au/news/1472043/cats-confirm-list-for-2024-afl-premiership-season). Being out of contract, he can therefore come to us as a free agent if he...
We can trust that the AFL will undertake a full and proper investigation that will result in a positive finding for our side of the story given the evidence at hand.
