4 of the last 18 grand finalists came from 5-8, is what I meant (also 4 of the last 36 5-8 teams made the GF)

So when a grand final winning captain wins the Norm Smith (last time being Hodge in 2014), they now end up with 3 medals around their neck? Lol.

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...

Here he is closest to the camera. Didn't make it through the heats, but better than Prestia at least.

Ron Barrasi medal is just awful and unnecessary

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.

Have they reverted to the Swans again? #bloods

**** them They've seen a couple in the past 18 years. They're not long suffering.

They were miles ahead of the pack for most of the year with an amazing midfield trio - who haven't fired a shot today

Kind of takes the gloss of 2016 a little, knowing we played the AFL's biggest grand final chokers in the big dance

Wtf that was unbelievable from Hipwood, off balance

As am I but couldn't resist seeing the response to that awful 50. It was predictable.

Sydney fan in the main board thread re Zorko - "Love the sook too" Have these clowns got any idea what they've been doing for the past 8 years?

Ironic

That 50m was worse than anything paid or not paid in 2016

As a Victorian, I'm extremely disappointed that Geelong today isn't playing to represent our state. :poo:

There's always the 22nd/23rd best player selected to win a medal. Fletcher Roberts says hi.

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...

We're due for a new jumper, they go in 2 year cycles with Asics and we've had the current one since last season.

Reminds me a bit of a Concorde with vapor lines over the top

I actually rate it

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. https://www.afl.com.au/news/200496/bulldogs-troubled-by-afl-probe-into-talia-brothers
