Cannot get over my hatred of Grub Mitchell. Little campaigner is a dog.

I don't like him either but can't help admiring, he is a fierce competitor as a coach and player. He was an unbelievably good player.

Hopefully afterwards Fyfey jumps off the presentation dais and knees Grub Mitchell so hard in the thigh he bleeds for a year. Norm Smith and premiership medals clinking harmoniously as he does so.
The way Hawthorn despatched Collingwood puts our game against them in Launceston in a different light.
Agree - we all but won that (conversion) without Pearce and Darcy
And a grub

This week I learnt about Starlight Express. I knew it was an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and has a cracking tune.
What I did not know was that it's about anthropomorphic trains played by a cast on rollerskates.
You're welcome.

some nice praise for Son Son on afl.com.au 
4) Wise Docker has timing on his side
Fremantle veteran Michael Waters was locked in for his third straight match as the substitute against Melbourne until an injury to Matthew Johnson forced a reshuffle and opened a crucial chance for the small forward to show his value. In a Starlight fixture close to his heart, Walters delivered in a big way, kicking an equal team-high four goals and opening a path for him to stay in the 22 in the run to finals. Walters' experience could prove vital for the top-four Dockers, who have a young attack and would have benefitted from the 33-year-old's experience on Sunday. His timing could not have been better at a point when his spot was coming under pressure, but he'll need to maintain that form now as the impressive Dockers mount a premiership challenge. – Nathan Schmook
It would make a big difference having both of them around for finals, the pressure goes up so much more and the style changes.
You need some calm heads and ability to direct when the momentum is swinging.
It wasn't very long ago I was pretty sure we were never going to see much of Fyfe again.

Purple Rain
wasnt so long ago many fans didnt want Walters in the team
He must have read all these posts and decided to put in a big effrt
well done to Michael
Great game.

Maybe the rest and sub role rejuvenated him?
Better to have them in peak form for

I didn't personally have the pitchforks out but the criticism won't go away.
Walters was damaging when out in space, but he doesn't have the pace or agility to create it himself any more, and it's not sustainable to rely on overwhelming midfield domination to get it.
There was a loose ball out on the wing that the Walters of old would have marked, didn't even get close then fumbled it and got a genuine high contact.
If the umpire had called play on because of his history then it would have been a terrible turnover, luckily the ump did though.
That and Walters has been lacking his 'create something out of nothing' traits in the forward line, albeit that pick up and pass to Young (when he got legged) was pretty awesome.

JL presser.
That’s what standards looks like. That’s where high expectations start.
Thank you JL for bringing this to the club.

People have very short memories. That Bulldogs final, the whole team was shell shocked and it was Walters who carried us and got us back into the game. We have lost a bit of leadership since then, although our core is older. Fyfe and Walters are going to be critical to our final hopes, we need them in the team, even if they aren't doing it all themselves and in the best players.
It's no coincidence that the oldest list/team has won the flag two years in a row.
Kane after a loss or single bad Darcy game - “One of the worst all time list management decisions!”
Kane after a win or good Darcy game - “Don’t come at me after a single game, give it three years and then decide!”

One of the biggest disservices to JL was the early criticism that he was too soft on the players.
