Considering the Dogs supporters' poor showing last night, hopefully we will have crowd advantage next week. The first quarter of that game was eerily quiet coming through the TV.

I would (and probably should) be confident but I just can't get the 2005 Preliminary Final out of my head. We were heavily favourited and showed arrogance all week (especially when it came to selection). I mean, we left Kossi and Hamill out of the game so they would be 100% fit for the Grand Final! ...

Add Gary Lyon to that list. Gary was the only one on Triple M today who was happy with the decision. Granted, most thought it was a free, they didn't think it should have been paid because of the timing (which is so ridiculous considering there shouldn't be different rules just because you are in th...

The greatest thing about the Ablett/Jones match-up was that Jones managed to do what hasn't been done by a tagger all year and successfully follow Ablett to the forward line and keep him goalless. Great game by CJ

It's funny, on Friday night I was sure the winner would make it through to the Grand Final and have the greatest chance of winning. Now that the winner is us, I'm a little more pessimistic. Oh to be a saints supporter

Throughout the entire last quarter I was abusing the umpires for not giving us a fair go. Everything was going Geelong's way. I am really happy that Matt Stevic stuck to his guns and followed through with the free kick, even though the Geelong faithful were jumping out of their seats. It could've ea...

I can't bring myself to watch (don't think I will until we win one) but got through half of this last night as a way of building up the anticipation for tonight- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVZygQwB1ew I have managed to repress most of the Grand Final, so watching this and seeing all the missed o...

Last week James Hird stated on Fox Sports that "The loser of this game can't possibly make a Grand Final" to which one of his fellow commentators said "Even Geelong?". Nobody believes we will win and that is where the theory comes from . They don't think we can play Geelong-Hawth...

I am just so glad the finals are finally here. Watching the Geelong/West Coast on the weekend, the amount of times the commentators offered throwaway comments like "Gary Ablett will definitely have to play in the midfield in the Grand Final against Collingwood" was infuriating. The entire ...

Just read the match stats and saw Dawson got 1 kick for the entire game!

Am wondering if he somehow broke a record today? Bizarre.

So apparently he gets the ball, but isn't that accurate in front of goals...he'll fit in a treat

I am shocked.

I was so sure they'd offer him the full captaincy

As reported on SEN Twitter.

Don't really understand why that was worth a trade, surely its more valuable to keep X than have Pick 60!? The later picks barely ever get used after all.

X to Brisbane for Pick 60

Gah! Man I hate trade week. This is awful...and we always announce our trades really late! That way 2pm flies by and I think "Thank God! No Trades!" and then later that same night the trade news hits and I get all nervy and anxious! This week makes me sick

Hall just traded to the Bulldogs

About Fevola, he said that they did list management today so haven't really discussed him yet. Said they will discuss all the players on the trade table when the time is right. Mentioned that our salary cap is almost full, so would be difficult to fit him in. He didn't sound too keen, though he did ...

Collingwood's away strip is supposedly white with black stripes, as apposed to black with white stripes. Its ridiculous and looks barely any different but apparently its acceptable because its Collingwood. Also doesn't really change much in regards to a clash with our home strip. http://images.slatt...

Just thinking, no mention of Begley, is he out there?

OK, we have no emergency, so the team is as selected. End of story. I still don't think it is the smartest idea to go into a game without any emergency. There may not be any changes now but what if someone pings a hammy in the pre-game warm up or gets a bout of the flu in the next 24 hours. There a...

ok just received a reply and she said
"Yes all"

That is the strangest thing. As a precaution you would've thought at the very least one of them wouldn't play.

why would st kilda play all three of their emergencies? surely they have to keep one out in case a player can't play due to personal emergency or gets sick (not to mention injured pre-game).

Ball got 23 disposals last weekend... It was stated on the 5th qtr last weekend that he got 40 disposals, which was then corrected to 23 later on the program. The media this week have been going with 40. I watched the game on ABC1 last weekend and in my opinion Geary was better. He had just as many ...

The fact that I didn't notice Gardi had gone off probably speaks volumes about his contribution... Pretty slack... You obviously weren't at Docklands today? I was at the game and never saw Gardi go off. Though I was probably too pre-occupied with screaming abuse at the poor display of skill from th...
