Think Cordy's knee deserves a bit of praise for taking out the Giants best midfielder (albeit accidentally of course).

Credit as well to whoever it was who kicked it into Roughead.

Hit him flush.

Went into the game wanting the Giants to win. And as it went on it just turned and and turned to the point of screaming at the tv at every contest. Don't think I've enjoyed a neutral win more than that one before and I didn't even want them to win at the beginning!!

Really hope they get up next week but don't like the chances. Had that real carlton 99 feel to it after the game. Which I do get since its been so long. Just hope it doesn't have any effect on the performance and mindset for the week

Yes boris is retiring.

Ralphy reporting that the club believe Boris will go again and was just extremely upset at the result.
Also states Jim will trigger his clause and go again.

We'd have to retire Lonners, can't have all 3 going around again.

Such a good judge is Robbo. Mustn't have typed this on the one day of the year he wasn't pickled.

No. 6?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Probably pick 6

Well he is an expert on losing integrity

Well he did back Hirdy for 3 years so I think his integrity went missing along with MH370

He is right though

Ditch Griffen and get a top 10 pick as well as getting Peter Wright and the dogs win that trade.

Gordon acted like an ego manic and overpaid for a forward

Boyd will be better than 2MP and I rate him enough that I want us to get him. They turned an ageing mid into a KPF to build their side around and don't look to have missed that mid.

I think they've won it anyway. Overpaying in cash terms but the cap will increase in the next year or two and that effect will be lessened.

Pinch me im dreaming.

Watching Everton play like shit & I'm not even mad

 

[chef]

West Coast will beat us, Hawks will beat us, Giants will beat us........

Bring on the Swannies should be a cracker. The 2 deepest midfields going toe to toe. We dont have a bad record against them too.

Very happy with Boyd and how Shocktobter has worked out. Gordo is god.

Woah, woah, woah. Back it up. There is only one God and his name is Ablett Sr

 

[Loonerty]

Where abouts were you sitting, chef?

This was my "restricted" view:

 

[BluesMan]

Boyd battled hard last night with no roughy, hats off to him

Do the dogs have another ruck ready to go? Minson?

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Well jod23 you were quite pissed at west coast for getting pumped by the Bulldogs in the finals but it's proving you could have lost to the 2016 premiers. West coast away, hawthorn at the G, Giants away, that's 3 cracking wins in a row.

Confidence will be sky high at the dogs, they now believe, will be a formidable force for years to come now, could be the start of something at the kennel.

I'm well aware of that photo. The club think he's going again after talking to him regularly. I'm a little more buoyant now

This was my "restricted" view:

6 rows back behind the goals at the screen end. Must say i liked the stadium, but apparently the cheer squad had a lot of issue with seats being sold that didnt exist.

Campbell. Was our number 1 ruck at the start of the season before getting injured and Roughie grabbed the spot.

Yeah it's a great stadium.
