Absolutely - we still had 120 minutes of footy to play, against a good team. Yeah, maybe... but not sure I totally agree. Sydney can win GFs, they just haven't. It's just all a bit weird. If it wasn't for blowing a 46 point lead in round 1, Brisbane likely have home finals. They're a good...

To follow up - had we held on in the PF, and then saw Brisbane fans on here saying 'we dropped the cup in our first 3 weeks, the PF should have been at the Gabba' guarantee they'd be getting called 'arrogant flogs' on here. Footy is a dynamic game, with - this is the important part - an...

Yep. You also said you 'agree 100%' that we somehow 'dropped the cup' - the idea this year's flag was ours but for our own ineptitude simply doesn't stack up. That's the sentiment I was challenging. We obviously agree it's disappointing, but apparently for very different reasons.

It looks like that, but is it true? If yesterday's game was somehow replayed immediately after, there's no guarantee Brisbane themselves repeat that win. Every game is an isolated outcome. Do Collingwood stroll to the flag in '07 'but for' one more goal in the PF? Port in '14? Maybe, maybe...

This seems less 'well reasoned frustration' and more 'pouting and baiting for reactions'... out of frustration. You can't drop a cup from the prelim. And not sure how we lost the flag with everything falling our way - Brisbane beat us. That's a pretty major element that didn't fall our way...

'Only flags matter' is kind of obvious, but maybe a bit flawed... and it's a silly way to gauge 'the best' team anyway. The % chance of 'the best' team winning it will always be less than the chances of 'someone else' winning it. If you are an 80% chance of winning three finals (which is heavy...

Duncan sub, no late changes.

Can't really pick players from the 07 - 11 side and leave out Johnson... so David Johnson in first for me. Love the idea of Tenace hitting Cameron on the chest in the pocket, with a wobbly bullet that was actually meant for Hawkins leading up the middle. So he is in number 2. We could use some...

Sorry, left that out - only saw it for 2011. "Premier's Cut" would be the one I was thinking of... thanks!

Can someone remind me what the name of the GF replay with Whateley (I think) rewatching the game with Scott and various players? And second question, anyone know if that was a one off, or are there similar for every GF?

I've grown up and graduated to capitals, yeah... when I started posting again, it just looked kind of silly. Also, I was posting using my phone more, and going back and de-capitalising was a nightmare. Stones I could honestly take or leave. Haven't listened to their whole catalogue, and they...

This year? Round 3, and Joel's milestone was most games captained, not his 300th. The booing was related to an incident involving Selwood and someone else, I believe. A pretty heavy head high tackle that looked a bit ordinary, maybe? It wasn't "just because" booing. That sort of thing is all...

Disappointing... I thought that banana had really shown something.

I think he has always been an inspirational leader, it's just for a lot of supporters on here that jarred or didn't resonate with continued disappointment. The "change" is possibly as much to do with our own relief... although I do admit CS would have grown in many ways since 2011. We all have...

I'm in on the premiership profile pic as well... as I'm sure we all agree that without my boy Jordy Murdoch, there is no way we win 2022!

We are currently on the equal 10th longest winning streak ever achieved...

If SDK hadn't been there, it would have been a point... was a great moment, though - including Dangerfield's reaction to SDK getting the goal.

I agree - I thought Smith was the obvious choice for NS. If the panel had a day to think about it and the benefit of a considered replay, Dangerfield may have been given the nod. But Smith's was the more obvious game, and in the context of his and when the NS medal is decided, was always going...

Luck doesn't so much turn, as simply become irrelevant to the final result. "Bad bounces" would be consistent across all games, on average. When you're down by a goal in a tight QF where you aren't at your best, a right angle bounce that causes someone to lose their footing can literally be...

That's not great... Billy doesn't have a malicious bone in his body though, as you say just an over enthusiastic and poorly thought out attempt at a funny.

What did he say?

Yes, my old boss I talk about on here gave me his membership details and we got GF tickets using them. I remember freaking out on here because covid rules said only membership holders would be let in, and there was no transferring allowed! But no issues... at least until the third quarter.

I was the same... very anxious. Halfway through the 3rd, I felt better. My girlfriend knew well enough not to say to me "Geelong are playing well!" at any point, because I am incredibly superstitious. I remember when Mooney slotted from the boundary in '07, start of the 3rd, to put us up by 70...

About the time Hamish announced "number 16, Sam de Koning" and he started the walk up to get his medal, I allowed myself to think "you know what, I don't think Sydney can pull it back from here!"

Robbie Williams has fairly wide appeal, and clearly a ton of charisma... But even when the AFL Grand Final entertainment is "good", it's terrible. I remember when Tones & I played... the weird dancers in the white shirts. Same thing with Robbie Williams yesterday. Swallowed up by the ground...

I thought Dane Rampe's speech was very gracious...

How was it seeing Zac iron out Rowbottom!

It only dawned on me this morning I might be watching Joel's last game of footy... hard to find a more consistent 350 games, really. Important from the very first one he played. I feel he will play another season, though. Also possibly the best Geelong side I've seen... definitely the most...

Right now, I would like it to be at 1:30pm...

Pre-game entertainment is terrible in any context. And somehow the AFL always do it even worse.
