So that makes the bulldogs the only team to win a premiership without losing a final from outside the top 4, which is why we talk about under current finals format.

So, Brisbane are getting Clark Keating out of cryogenics?

I agree, however this discussion started with someone saying you don’t need to spend big on rucks and sited Grundy vs Foote as this weeks match up as being evidence. I would argue that the biggest difference to the swans line up this year is the addition of a former AA level Ruckman.
How long do you reckon they'd hesitate at that option if it was a possibility? A full millisecond or a half?
wouldn't that tear them apart?
Seam?
I had a peep at the Port board recently and saw a post there as follows
"Since 2015 Port are 1-21 in away games against top 4 sides. Average losing margin of 41points.
0-4 during the Hinkley era in preliminary finals.
As a club Port are 0-4 in away preliminary finals. Have lost 2 home preliminary finals"
I didn't check those figures however if they are correct then little wonder the Port faithful are becoming restless.
It's difficult to see Hinkley lasting too much longer as coach of Port.

Swans didn't pay big to get Grundy and apparently aren't paying him much in salary either. Unbelievable that Melbourne would just GIFT a finals rival the piece they needed most.
The tarps ?.
I just saw the odds and I’m shocked. Shouldn’t he be a sneaky chance to actually win it? He’s polled high in coaches votes in all of our wins, and most of our losses were close which keeps him in the hunt for votes.

My gut feel is that outside players tend to ride hype in the leadup to the count but then are ignored by the umpires when the actual votes come out. So if I were looking for a bet it would be that Gulden doesn't poll as well as the AFL predictor suggests.
Very good player, but umpires love a clearance.

Fell off a bit tbh. Will probably be leading at some point early on but won’t poll too much towards the end

I'd like to see Heeney poll most votes. Best player this year in my opinion.
I'm not overly fussed who wins, as I don't think it will be Serong. Treacy deserves to poll at least a few votes

Gulden did surprisingly well last year coming fourth with 27 votes.

It's so hard to be in the Top 3 players on the ground. Like in the Freo game against GWS Brayshaw got 41 possessions, Serong 24 and 2 goals and the winning team was only determined in the last couple of minutes of the final quarter - but you can't see either player getting Brownlow votes over Hogan, Daniels and Green.
