Harris is at $20 on sportsbet atm. On a scale of 1 to 10 how worth it to put a cheeky 20 on her?

Interesting reasoning, but if teams are on a sharp upwards trajectory why would you expect them to finish the average of the past 3 seasons? I agree with some that for Hawthorn there's no guarantee they'll do better next year. They had the element of surprise this year, and arguably did...

They're still pretty mediocre, imo. Maybe I am, I think they're an average to good side, which fits in 6-10. They were being smacked by North and look well controlled by GC, Geelong, Essendon the second time etc. Be surprised if they're top 4, but could happen.

Essendon Adelaide at Marvel, lead changes, a late sealer, drama, best game of the home and away season.

Why Carlton above your Hawks when they had their measure this season?

I loved the whole Brisbane redemption story. 0-3, injuries, Fagan's struggles, written off, finals comeback, redemption for the squad, the young stars standing up. I wanted Brisbane to win, but also wanted a close game, but when the Lions started to maul them I really didn't mind, it was...

Just remember him as a bit player at the Saints mostly, sems like a nice bloke, st hope he has some mongrel he can use to fire up the players.

Poor baby, only one premiership. He deserves 5 at least!

No i don't wish that on them. Had they beat us in 06, however, I'd wish them wooden spoons for eternity.

Imagine a Swans Giants gf next year with the Giants winning and causing the Bloods 5th gf defeat in a row. That'll really add some feeling to the rivalry.

Might help their orange rivals though

Rampe's expression vs Neale's holding up the cup was commented on. One team excited to take on the challenge of winning, the other terrified of bottling it again. You could tell they truly did believe they not only could but would win. Almost from the start there was almost a sense of...

Maybe I'm greedy, but really wish we'd pinched 91. It galls me we're 0-2 against the Hawks in gfs and may never have a chance at revenge. Not really, but it's a mild annoyance.

Don't get the age thing myself. They were saying he was too old when he was late 50s. I know late 50s people who are sprighlier and sharper than 20yos. When did they become geriatric? Do you need to be able to run around with the boys to coach? We have 80 year olds as presidents of the US and 60...

Why?

For a single game, North to Collingwood. Overall season: Carlton Finals series: GWS

At the game? Absolutely

I lost my 90s era Eagles scarf on the Isle of Capri on a holiday there in 2013. You haven't seen it around, have you? Lol Jokes aside, I hope some random Italian person is wearing it, with no idea who the West Coast Eagles are. Or maybe they googled them and are fans now.

A different topic for a thread, but how good is the siren in Aussie rules? I just feel it's such a dramatic way to end each quarter, and as far as I know its unique in sports. I always felt an umpires/referees whistle to end a half/match seemed so anticlimactic. Just part of the unique spectacle...

They could. They beat the premiers twice, which was an effort. I think their round 21 was it victory of the Lions might be their best victory. Then you look at being 54 points down to North, the Hawthorn loss, and quite a few close ones, and you wonder. They benefited from a weak season imo...

I really hope he goes one more year. I want to see GWS win it, but if not Brisbane going b2b is preferable to any other result.

Still early, but I thought it'd be interesting to briefly speculate who the main contenders will be in 2025, and what factors will play into their success. Not a ladder prediction thread. Brisbane: the reigning premiers have a ton of key players back, L.Ash, you'd think they'll be stronger and...

Was gonna make this exact thread. My initial thoughts were Bulldogs, but reflecting on it more I actually think the Lions this year was a bit more amazing in the context of the season. People forget the Dogs were like 3rd late in the season, and yes, had a few injuries, but it was a very even...

Yep 100%. Honestly I can't remember a grand final performance where a team bullied the opposition more in this manner with their pressure, tackling and ferocity. To me it was on par with the 2007 and 2022 Geelong wins. The Swans still put up more of a fight than the Giants in 2019, but the Lions...

Okay I guess it did redeem them somewhat, but at the back of my mind I just felt a team that lost that badly may not have the mental fortitude to beat a raging Lions today.

Congrats Lions, what an inspirational win! Up there with the Western Bulldogs 2016 for mine. After being written off, those finals comeback, and then such a dominant gf performance. I'm sure it makes it all the sweeter. True, Sydney weren't great, but imo we can't ignore the fact the Lions were...

I wrote them off after the 112 point capitulation to Port. Today just confirmed why.

Congrats Brissie, after the start they had and the finals comeback, what an inspiring win.

I like the idea in principle but what about past players who just missed out? Obviously NN, Gaff, Shep for us, and Taylor Adams last year. It would set a precedent. I do think from next year they should award the premiership medal to club members who say, play at least 12 games that season. Or...

79 to 74 in a gf, that looks familiar..
