It seems like none of you slackers has started a new media thread, so here goes. And why not start by potting the media? I'm not usually one to think that the Fourth Estate has it in for us, but it's hard to think otherwise when you read this story about the 25 moments that mattered in 2018.
For those who can't access it, here's the relevant bits...
15. TRADE FRENZY
Beams wasn’t the only one who switched clubs during what turned out to a bumper trade period. Lachie Neale, Chad Wingard, Ryan Burton, Jesse Hogan, Rory Lobb, Steven May, Kade Kolodjashnij, Jack Hombsch and Sam Mayes all found new clubs in a series of interconnected deals, as Hawthorn, Melbourne, Fremantle, Gold Coast, Brisbane, GWS and Port Adelaide had to work to find the right outcomes. And in separate deals Tom Scully found himself at Hawthorn, while Dylan Shiel chose Essendon above Carlton and St Kilda.
Um, I feel like they've missed an All Australian premiership player who moved clubs?
16. THE LATE GOALS
It seems fitting that in a year that ended with a stunning late goal from Dom Sheed, we’ve had some classic last-minute and after-the-siren goals that turned the fortunes of matches. There was Jeremy McGovern’s matchwinner against Port Adelaide in Round 21; Steven Motlop’s miracle Showdown goal with 21 seconds left in Round 8; and Zach Tuohy’s cool goal after the buzzer that beat the Demons in Round 18. Then, there were the misses. Max Gawn’s shot in Round 1, Harry Taylor in Round 15 and Cam Rayner in Round 5.
Ah, I dunno. I feel like there was one other last-minute snap from the boundary to win a game, but maybe I'm imagining things?
