I didn’t want him back then either. I feel the same about us getting Smith.I was right about Bruhn

It would have taken a Geelong '94 / Adelaide '97-98 / Dogs 2016 level of September overperformance to win.We would've got mauled the following week. But nonetheless, say we won it all this year, it would have to be the one of the worst midfields of all time to have won a GF imho!
Misrepresenting my post…Lack of respect for the opposition by many here.Of course we had a chance, but being at the G was certainly not a huge favour for us this year, as if to make up for our deficiencies. And it was not a foregone conclusion; close game. Many knew we would have the close prelim. But getting it done the way Lions did even after we took the late lead was a huge statement. Picking Lions after their win last week was based on them handling pressure and us not having had any for a month.What a weirdly defeatist attitude. I'm temperamentally pessimistic like yourself, but even I didn't think we had no chance going into last night's game. No way was the result a foregone conclusion.
In a vague panic after my dream I spent the first 3 hours of the day in the fetal position, but eventually cracked on at around 2pm as guests arrived.
Started with CC's & -196s (weak, I know) before eventually calming down for the game.
Stayed relatively sober after that to enjoy the contest, followed by pure Jameson & Smirnoff as we stared blankly at the TV while Bruce arrived in the postgame.
Only positive of hangovers is the lack of water retention. I look even hotter than usual.

(Narrator: He did not "look hot" in the slightest, as he walked around the gym trying not to fall over)
AND what would a great coach do about it mid game, with his best player unavailable, Danger sore ribs, and the rest off their games?I’m a huge CS fan. But once we lost Holmes and they switched to playing the middle. Game was over. Losing Holmes is bad luck. Not recognising that they were playing through the middle of the ground is bad coaching.
Absolutely. Only a pessimist would not have seen that coming…Did you think we'd start 7-0 at the start of this season?
Couple of our players need tackling training and gym work, like Dempsey and Bruhn. They will gain lots from this game.Dempsey will be an interesting watch next year.
I think we need him around the ball more in the middle. Just that ability to get out of a tight spot.
Getting stuck out on that wing, I think he has more to offer than that.
Get the feeling he will be the type to come back bigger and better.
Appreciate the love - but full disclosure - I did nothing there lol.I'd never heard of 196 until I had some at a hens a few weeks ago. Very sugary though.
I missed Bruce on the replay, bless.
I'm impressed you made it to the gym
Shoutout to frggr who summed it up best.
We all know "There's always next year" is a cliche as old as time, and it's usually used to console those who don't really believe it.
We're lucky enough to support a great club, where that sentiment actually runs true.
Wasn't our year, but it might be next year. If not, the year after, and it goes on and on. We know they'll do everything in their power to make it happen.
Completely understand those who are hurting, it's only natural. Footy's an emotional game, and none of us can deny that, or we wouldn't be on this site.
You couldn't pay me to support anyone else. We've got it as good as it gets.
Definitely felt that way being there.Haha. Every neutral is saying how good a final it was so I wanted to re-watch it as being at the ground it just looked like we were sloppy AF and didn't take our chances.
Maybe need a slogan like....hrmmm....let me think....what about something like:
AND MAKE THE COMMUNITY PROUD.Maybe need a slogan like....hrmmm....let me think....what about something like:
WE EXIST TO WIN PREMIERSHIPS!
What could possibly go wrong?
Agree loved his performance even when undersized he attacks the ball in the air so well. Since day 1 at the club has been a very good player, sky is the limit.Haven’t read a lot of love for Ollie Henry- had a brilliant game considering his first quarter goal miss. Truly a big game player, and will only get better and more lethal.
Appreciate the love - but full disclosure - I did nothing there lol.
Yeah, they're a bit like cider where it's okay for a while, but too many can knock you around a bit with the sugar content.
I've got a younger brother though who's just discovering the fine arts of poisoning yourself, and he's big on them.
They've marketed really well to the late teens brigade, which is smart, albeit a bit morally ambiguous.
From what I've seen, they're similar to Bailey Smith's "Barry's" drink that he's brought out.
Might have to give them a go as a celebratory beverage when the trade goes through!
Don't want to be that guyJust seeing some of the Lions' frees / our non-frees that led to their goals for the first time.
Man oh man. I'm so glad we've had an era. Imagine if 2007-2022 hadn't happened and this was our first real shot at it? Injuries, illness, coaches collapsing, missed shots, goals conceded from dodgy umpiring.
As a grown man, I would have been in tears.
Just because you dont have faith doesnt mean others dont have hope. Plus another year older im not sure blicavs can ruck at all. Neale can rotate between second ruck and foward. Although with rohan and hawkins going a weakness is the back up tall foward stock depth. Ideally to solve this and the ruck depth problem we need to recruit a tall part time foward/part time ruckman. Or play dekonning second ruck and foward (he is quite capable up foward I dont know why he doesnt spend more time up foward). If so there is a role for blicavs in defence.Who will be our ruck then? As i have zero faith in conway.
Don't want to be that guy
But a couple of goals from out of bounds they got and a couple of frees we didn't get
There's your game
Aren’t all goals reviewed?They showed the Daniher ‘mark’ in replay and the commentary team (and my eyes) thought it was a goal. I’m wondering why there has been nothing further said of it. At the very least there should be a please explain and a goal umpire dropped for not asking for a review.
