bit of an understatement

Well clearly I'm an idiot. Never been so happy to admit that :drunk:

Love how the "second" finals get played before the first....outsiders must look at this and just scratch their heads

ok granted there is always hope. But this isn't 2022, we don't have a strong midfield and yeah sure when we can move the ball easily with no opposition we can score heavily but the saints just showed us how a bit of pressure will bring us unstuck and very rapidly. Credit to the club and the...

There's no bigger "if" than that. I give us no hope against Port - even if played in Melbourne but I think we have a better than average shot against Brisbane in Melbourne the week after, I'd rather face them than Bulldogs or Hawthorn. EDIT: just realized we would play Hawthorn or Bulldogs!!! -...

Seriously good post and exactly my take on that result.

If I had a comment re this I would suggest Stanley was told to make sure Gawn couldn't take easy field marks, the problem was our defenders kept looking for him and it meant they kicked it straight to Gawn - and Stanley will never outmark Gawn

Yeah we do - we play norf twice

Yeah that should have been 50 paid. Really happy if he never gets another high tackle free again in his career, in fact if the afl want to get serious about concussions then they should penalize those that deliberatelly duck into a tackle

and blicavs as well - haven't we missed him since he got injured

Good post - since you were at the game you would see more than we could see on the telecast. It seemed to me there was almost no rebound off half back for most of the day and unlike last year our defenders would chip accross half back rather than move forward at all costs, I am assuming it's...

I did lol at that. Actually I think the performance over the last 3 weeks just shows what a perfect year last year was and how well managed the team was to claim the ultimate prize. Geelong has defied gravity for so long but I always sensed it would end with Selwood and Hawkins.

headknock and a pretty hard hit too, I'm surprised he passed the concussion test and frankly it would explain some of his turnovers later in the game - quite uncharactaristic of him.

yes but there were 2 undisciplined acts that gave away 50 metre penalties - I hope somebody has words to him about that.

As was I. I actually never thought Sav would make it but only because he was never a one grab mark, most of the time he would need 2-3 grabs to complete a mark so I thought maybe his hands weren't big enough or strong enough and that would be his career Achilles heel. But Friday night I saw a...

Hear hear....some people on this board just go completely over the top.

hmmmm.....:think:

Of course we won it, even if the Tom Hawkins non-goal was called it would still be a point and we still win. I don't understand why anyone would say St Kilda deserved 2009 - they should've kicked straight and didn't, just like we didn't in 2008 but we don't lay claims to the 2008 flag.

exacty this, I've seen them win 4 grand finals but lose 6. Until that ledger squares or goes in the positive direction then I'll never be smug about it. I envy tigers supporters over their last era, 3 premierships from 3 grand final appearances - that would be heaven. Losing a prelim hurts but...

selwood?

I can picture you nashi'ing your teeth over that

Let's get him into a breeding program immediately!

I often think of the sliding doors moment when Joel came to the club. If he was taken earlier in the draft as he should've we would not have got his leadership, his skill and his class. The club as a whole would have been so much poorer in so many ways without him, his presence will be felt into...

yes I watched that as well, nothing but pure admiration after seeing that interview and his reaction caught on camera post Grand Final when he thought he was alone in a room. Speaks volumes about the mans character.

This kids goal assists - wow!. He doesn't look the type but my god he is probably the best rookie I've ever seen in the hoops - and that's a big call. I've got oppo supporter mates who ask me "where did this guy come from? - we'd love to have him"

to quote Fletch: "It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, fortunately I am not a big man"

Eagles actually get 12 if you count Freemantle hosting a derby. Plus a home final if they earn it. Pretty sweet compared to 9

Am I the only one who thinks of "McLovin" from the movie superbad whenever the name McCluggage is mentioned?

Well according to Luke Darcy he plays under a different set of rules so......

oh god that's just music to my ears
