Thought we'd give it a better shake but still good to finish in the top 4, all things considered. Hopefully can improve next year.
Big ups to the Cats though - pure class. Would be interesting to see how long people think Geelong's window is open for from here. Just an insanely good team.
Fair enough. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but to me it didn't even look close to being touched. Might have to watch it again.
Could well be a bit of the anti-Masten in me creeping into my observation too.

Such a great game. Bit hoarse today, watching the highlights...
Anyone else find it unusual as to why Masten tapped the ball back over the goal line on Kennedy's goal attempt? Sure it was awarded a goal, but I can't figure out what was going through his mind :confused:
When you and your forum e-buddy finish giving each other reach-arounds, maybe stop taking message boards so seriously.
Oh, and I appropriately capitalised letters in this post where appropriate, just for you. You can breathe again.
Let's try and stay on topic.
You're right on the basis of historical data being irrelevant (largely).
However this stat does lend credence to the fact we CAN beat the cats and psychologically, for a young team, that's surely something to hang their hat on.
To answer your question, I don't believe this means we will...
wow. an epic, three paragraph, eight sentence response calling me out for my supposed inability to construct a lengthy and constructive argument. how do i compete with that?
i guess i pitched my initial response to you in graphic form as a sympathetic gesture, as you seem like the kind of...
Could easily have gone either way and the Blues are a quality club and certainly would have been pulling for them if they were among the last 4 teams standing.
Big fan of their list, esp Walker, Yarran and Duigan and I still believe Judd has plenty left in the tank - such a cerebral and...
People can bring up stats, recent premierships and all the rest but none of it really bears any relevance.
Fact of the matter is we beat Geelong last time we played and anything can happen in a prelim.
tradition argument doesn't stand up - lazy excuse.
plenty of tradition in other sports around the world and alternate strips are always worn.
agree on the comments earlier about it being an embarrassment when we are on a global stage
This.
And this.
Voss should have stayed at West Coast under Woosha as an assistant for a couple years and learned the ropes but I guess when the Brissy job came up it was too good to not have a crack at.
fremantle might have just had their biggest win since 1995
caps off a very ordinary past week for melbourne. first losing scully, now missing out on lyon.
bad things come in threes i thought... what next?
"footballers pissed and / or violent following end of season"
in other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.
not condoning the violence but do we really know the full story? who is to say they weren't baited by this plain clothes officer?
jeez, is there ever an acceptable time to blow...
they may be the best team (arguably) but let's not confuse that with being unbeatable. i wouldn't start scribing geelong or even collingwood's name on the cup just yet, regardless of how probable it is.
west coast showed they can play pretty reasonable footy against the pies in a final away...
fair enough, that explains a lot. penny = dropped.
will definitely be a beneficiary of a solid pre-season. i might have got carried away reading some old articles about homesickness, thinking perhaps he may have dropped his head again.
hopefully he doesn't fly under our radar because based...
Wasn't Russell 2nd in 2010 B&F?
Now seemingly down on form (although possibly due to injury) in arguably the club's most important game in over a decade.
Homesickness kicking in again?
Shaping up as the best final so far this year. Easily the most even match-up and almost expecting a draw / extra time.
Surely with Gibbs and Kreuzer missing we'd be favourites though.
Russell apparently favourite to take Gibbs' place. Noticed he's been out since R16 - was he injured or...
ha! is he really from peel? all of a sudden it all makes sense...
imo he lacks emotional IQ but maybe Hird can turn him around, eventually.
he has youth on his side, but at the same time it seems to be the same factor working against him.
big fan of this guy, well deserved.
hope richmond can string together some good form next year, some of the best fans in the game bloody deserve something to crow about.
