Very happy that Jack has re-signed! I love his clearance handpassing.

The opportunity for a club to screw Collingwood to the wall could be looming

If this story is correct then Collingwood have managed to take it to the next level.

Excellent

Taking a leaf out of the Essendon book and running with the character assassination angle. Not sure how that will help the Maggies when it comes to negotiating his exit.

On the playing front Treloar does butcher the ball quite a bit.

Looks to be staying with Collingwood.

With the first rounder we have this year and hopefully with further improvement next year I’m not sure that those picks will tempt the Suns. Leaves open the option of offering up a player as well I guess but would seem to need some magic in the negotiation to get it across the line.

If past rumours are correct Geelong don't pay huge money to anyone - how does Cameron's pay packet fit into that regime? One can only hope that it causes discontent in their ranks and they implode.

It will be interesting to see how much of a difference losing Cameron will make to the GWS salary cap position. Hopefully Caldwell decides that he wants to come home to the Saints regardless as he will probably feel he is still down the pecking order in their midfield options.

Great year for Jack - well done!

Mark of the year - say what?

This is the same player who acts like his head has been ripped off when he gets hit in the chest. Hmmm...

Not a fan of Devon Smith. Pass.

Feel for Paddy. He was superb this evening.

Would prefer bigger bodied mids rather than Williams. He is a good player but probably not what we need just at present.

Very happy with the dismantling of GWS to make the finals!

Season's goal 1 - make finals - tick.

Season's goal 2 - go for it!

I thought Bytel did OK in his games while Byrnes was quiet in his one game yet Byrnes is an emergency and Bytel is not listed. I am probably not cut out to be a selector.

Last night, in theory, was the Saints' best chance to beat the Eagles for a while. The Eagles were Injury-struck and the weather conditions should have impacted their kick and mark game, yet the scoreboard says that they still found a way to outscore us. Very disappointed with the last 10 minutes in...

Couldn’t see what moves were made to quieten Kelly who kept getting the ball all night. He hasn’t been playing to his Geelong form for most of the season but was allowed to turn it on tonight.

Poor kicking for goal a significant factor yet again.

If lists were cut to 35 players (and I don't think the AFL will go that far) what happens when you have a bad injury year? Where do the top-ups come from so you can field a side? Affiliate clubs?

Picking up the ball (even when not under immediate pressure) seemed to be an issue for the Saints. The commentators said early on it would get dewy but Melbourne players didn't seem to have the same level of problems.

Ball movement into the forward line was poor and generally gave the forwards little chance. Having said that the small forwards were nigh on non-existent. You would think that there would be a few changes next week.

Threw that away with poor kicking for goal again.
