Grand final thread

Happy for Goo, that could be it for him. Was always sorry to lose him, but that's footy.

[Munga]

22 shots and at least 3 on the full, shot themselves.

Lake for Norm IMO
Or Sandilands

Where can I collect?

Brian Lake Norm Smith Medallist, got to be joking. Most overated full back going around.Did some handy things but not worthy of a Norm Smith Medal.

What game were you watching? He took so many one grab defensive marks from Freo kicks. Calm and composed all day. Didn't miss a beat. Was best afield I reckon.

Swap Dawson for Lake and Freo wins easily.

Ballantyne was shite as well. He was selfish in second quarter when player was on their own. perhaps he was looking over his shoulder but geez he made some mistakes

You're blind

Lake and Suban will both be rubbed out by MRP for a game or two next year but Lake won't mind.

Bring on the trade period!

[oldie60]

I understand he took a lot of defensive marks but hardly any contested ball which was because of Freo's kickiing inefficiency.

Pbly would have given it to Gunston myself... Dangerous and deadly all day.

Cometh the hour

Yeah agree with you. Solid but not the second best player on the ground.

[Sainternist]

Ballantyne is rubbish! If they're serious about winning a flag next year, they would trade him.

[roskilde]

Watching ballantyne gave me sympathy for our little devil (milney) today.

I think it shows that no matter how young, hungry or brilliant you are life as a small forward is a game of scraps.

Milen and ballantyne are not players who go missing in finals (as im sure the media will label ballantyne now) they are small forwards.

Players who are so far down the food chain. Their goals should be seen as manna from heaven. Today actually reminds me how lucky we are to have a once in a generation player like Milne.
