But I should have known that BJ, Lenny and Roo had other ideas...

They were hungry at half time too.

I've always been a big fan of Gwilt.

He is as good a kick as anyone you care to name. From that starting point, the rest was just a matter of time.

Welcome to the big stage, James.

surely a player wouldn’t be asking for extra to play this week? there would be millions of kids out there that would kill to have the chance to play AFL, or in the afl finals, even the Grand Final, but to create history and play the granny 2 weeks in a row, that should be an honour, i don’t thi...

well 10 tackles is great, but 8 goals for the full year playing most of the games as a forward... Come on.. That's Pathetic and you know it.. Ross: Nick, Justin, Steven, Adam, Andrew, I want you guys to go out and kick some goals. Ok? Nick: Right boss! Justin: Right boss! Steven: Right boss! Adam: ...

They couldn't include it in the salary cap.

To compare it to a regular salary it would be considered overtime, thus outside the cap.

I agree with the other things you say but I have to call you on that one.

Hopefully he's learnt plenty, but none of it is useful to him.

I'd be happy with 70 tackles if we have 450 disposals to go with them.

I was clicking links as fast as the pages were loading!

It just means 9.14.68 is not a Grand Final winning score.

I imagine the pain of letting a lead slip yet still drawing could not compare to the pain of flat-out losing a GF. There's still next week for them. They didn't go through the finality of a GF loss. That's it. Game over. All that hard work for nothing. See you next year. They couldn't even contempl...

Yes, 12 numbers.

Right on. One point down with three minutes to play, and they simply would not give up.

I had never seen two players impose their will on a game like Hayes and Goddard did yesterday.

Strange, strange days.

Spot on. I can't even form a complete sentence to describe it.

Except we like him when he's angry!

True colours? Sure thing. Red white and black just like yesterday.

I suggest for those who taped it to watch it this week. at least we can enjoy the second half now regardless of what happens next week. Seconded. I watched the replay last night and it was a spectacular match. If we don't win next week I'll probably never watch it again but until then it's great vi...

and there is actually NOTHING in writing to get the outcome of the second GF they have just decided that next week WILL be overtime which seems silly just put something in writing :roll: The article says: Demetriou said the AFL would ratify a rule by close of business on Monday to prevent the teams...

Prestigiacomo and Lockyer in would be a win for us. I hope Davis did enough to keep his spot. I think Peake is the player with the most potential improvement. Nerves seemed to get the better of him early with him falling over a lot and not standing the mark on Thomas. He settled eventually and I'd e...

I was on holiday last week and on the way home stopped in bustling downtown Sale to pick up my GF ticket. I had my wallet out to hand over the credit card but all the guy asked me for was my phone number.

Seriously!

I wonder if Peake was busy looking at his boots when he should have been standing the mark for Dale Thomas' shot in the first quarter. The mark was 49 metres out but Peake stood about 46 out. When you can restrict a team to only nine goals, half chances like that are crucial. That was an avoidable o...

On the replay they showed repeatedly Lenny collapsing first to all fours, then face first into the turf. So you could read what you like into photos of that too. Having said that, I thought a lot of leadership was shown to get everyone on to their feet shortly after. It was also good Channel 7 went ...
