Fantasia is such a skier

lol. Back from 5 weeks off and his first final (im pretty sure). He'd be in every forward line in the comp

right on queue

Remind us what you were saying about Salt?

LOL

 

[SSSSSS]

Still waiting to see the #1 pick do something.

Motlop had 5 touches and a goal in the first last night. Sorry but you aren't selling me on his ability. McGrath is the vastly superior player

Makes up for giving away that 50 for sooking

Wouldn't write off Melbourne or the Dogs getting in.

True and not overly confident about the pies, but think we would have done better or at least as well as the losing finals sides so far, so we must be a shot at positions 5-8 next year.

Disappointing start to the quarter, Swans.

You were meant to eclipse the Knights led Lovett-Murray rucking debacle vs Adelaide in 2009.

 

[Caj]

Bombers have a good future, hurts now but will hold them in good stead for 2018

So composed (ignore me defending him earlier, I must troll Essendon).

 

[eggtardo]

I'm thankful a team that tried to exploit the rules and cheat to win are shown up as frauds.

 

[HBF]

Rampe is as rock solid as ever.

 

[lamaros]

Lol umpires with the deliberate. Get a clue.

 

[citizen-erased]

Fair enough, better to get some finals experience into kids than not

I'm disappointed we dropped Laverde for that reason. This would have been good for him

Fanta, Merrett, Parish, McGrath, McKenna, Gleeson, Stewart, Daniher, Tippa, Begley.
Will all be better for this.

Well the Hawks might have had a different story to tell. Also if I was Sydney , I wouldn't be expecting the same turn out as today, next time.
When you walk over opponents that probably are a year too early , it really means nothing, Richmond on the other hand played a very good side and out powered them, they know what it takes .
The Crows had an uncertain fumbly GWS, that tried a bit, but not enough and the Crows showed their class and just over road them.
As for Sydney , yes they've had a big turn around after round 6 , but today they've played a team that didn't look like they were breathing, let alone playing footy, that won't happen next week when they take on a qualifying loser , who will be very angry.
You like to beat a hard opponent , today ESSENDON DIDN'T TURN UP.

beaten by the form side and GF favourites on their home deck. Yeah we've been poor but thats also due to how well theyve played

Another Adrian Dodoro team shows zero in the Finals.

14 years for 0 wins...and he's been in charge the whole time.

Long may he reign down at Tulla.

Is he the longest reigning head recruiter?

 

[Power Raid]

A bit of respectability in the score

 

[SterlingArcher]

I honestly wonder if Worsfolds woeful pre-match address is an indicator of his tactical preparation. Because they have not tried to stretch Sydney at all with any sort of play.

I was thinking along the same lines. It wouldn't surprise me to see Geelong win comfortably next week. You have a team who is coming off a tough loss who actually did try hard for the majority of the game, VS a team who has just come off literally a training drill. Would not surprise me if Sydney are now softened by this game and come out playing soft football next week.

LOL

in a thread supposedly about the game that comment deserved a spray

 

[Ian Dunross]

How's the stat quoted by Bennett?!

Essendon haven't won a final since 1968, other than under Sheedy.

Amazing. Albeit Sheedy the master was there for nearly 30 years.

 

[Big Wilbur]

Never thought I'd say this but Baguely is not the worst player on the ground today.

We've had Wells a while but don't know for sure.
