Good.. bad... I dunno. I'll be disappointed not to make the finals, seemingly only on percentage, but what can you do? If we win one of the next two we will only be out on percentage. So what do you guys think about the last point I made? We could be out on percentage by teams we have beat. As I sai...

Re: Credit where Credit is due..

I think Lloydy had an excellent game today and was one of the Major contributors for us winning. Agree. I refuse to believe that Carlscum tanked this game as they really had us on the ropes at times. Disagree. They had us on the ropes easily, yet we got back into it a little too easily in considera...

Would love to see Bomber back in red and black. The blue and white doesn't suit him. ;)

Like Windy_Hill, I think he's just keeping his options open. Waiting to see what happens with Geelong come finals.

You're right about one thing stryper - time will certainly tell. ;)

It was my first time going to Windy Hill today and it was a lot of light-hearted fun. Very much kick and giggle - much like hit and giggle cricket. Anyone who was there can now officially say they've seen a goal umpire take a mark and kick a goal. ;) Gotta love Sheeds and his commentary - "play...

lloydy was fantastic on the weekend don't ya think? i have him when on form in the top 3 power forwards in the game.(key is when in form). and damn does he take a great mark. I think! At his best he's outstanding. When he backs himself, puts in the effort, he's an awesome mark. And when he's on his...

Look at the Carlton players when Fisher kicked his 4th. About 10 of them got over to them and they were pumped. The Carlton players were also very disappointed after the match, they all slumped to the ground as soon as the siren went. But is it all just a show?? After watching a few Grand Final vid...

Despite them getting a jump, I didn't feel too disappointed or concerned like I was against say West Coast. When we kicked those few goals in the 3rd quarter to get within a kick, the smug grin on my face grew broader. Couldn't help but start a chant of "tanking" a few times. Pity no-one e...

Re: Reimers Today

Yeah, I liked the looks of the youngsters yesterday. Certainly showing some promise. The future isn't that bleak.

Tipped the Hawks. Thought they were a shoe in. But I spose what can you do when the last kick of the game decides it? Can't tip that.

Campo was great yesterday. He can definitely stay in red and black next year. He might be "slow", he might make some mistakes, but really.. who hasn't this year??? Even Sir James has made a few. The good things Campo has done and the contribution he's made has certainly outweighed the bad ...

The free kick count was shown on the scoreboard at one stage and was 14-7 or something. Pretty much straight after it appeared, we were given a free kick. Makes you wonder if someone had got in the maggots' ears, or one of them had seen, and decided they'd better even it up a bit. :?:

Very impressed with Gumby and Reimers yesterday. Definitely going to be in red and black for a while yet.

I thought Hocking did alright. Can't really fault him being a first-gamer. Hope he gets a fair go next year and can really show us what he's capable of.

As long as we don't slip to bottom 4, which looks unlikely now, I'll be satisfied. We've done alright this year. Won some we probably should have lost, won some close ones that, last year, we would've lost and lost games to just genuinely better teams (exceptions being the scum and fremantle) that a...

I tipped Sydney - they've got the wood over Brisbane. When I last checked the scores Sydney were up by a couple of points. I had a dream last night that they drew :shock: although the scores I recall from my dream were 58-58. :)

Announced his retirement and that he wants to captain Adelaide to a flag. :roll:
No chance. It's a dream that will go unfulfilled. Geelong, West Coast, Hawthorn and the Kangaroos, and maybe others too, are streets ahead of them.
