Sucking - only player on Dogs list not part of the celebrations?

No, saw him out on the ground post game.

A few observations:

Doggies fitness staff doing a fantastic job. Just get stronger as the match progresses.

Is it "Mission Accomplished" for the Swans? Both Buddy and Horse were at pains through the week to point out that Swans didn't need to win premierships for Buddy's recruitment to be considered successful. They gave it a good shot, were unlucky with some decisions and ultimately fell short.

A world of pain awaits Swans if Buddy doesn't go the full 9 years, as they must still count his contract in their salary cap, even if they don't have to pay him if he retires early.

Liked a comment in Swans autopsy "Trade Parker, keep Mitchell". Yeah, ok.

You don't think the A.F.L. would change their ruling if he had to go early.

But isn't it more like an ex-girlfriend (or boyfriend) - you loved them dearly when things were good, but the love turns to hate when you find they've walked out with your mate.
Especially when we see them publicly saying how much they love their new amour.

The way we think of our players is a bit like that.

For this one moment in time, I also feel that the crows are within their rights to gloat re: Tippett and now Dangerfield. All week we've heard him go on and on about how much better it is at the cats the implication being that it wasn't as good at the crows. There's another group of supporters that will forever enjoy a premiership drought for both of them

What sort of membership bump should the Dogs get? Will be interesting to see what it jumps up to

Well judging by all the "supporters" appearing in social media posts today they'll break 100k easily next year.

Derelicte my balls, Sydney...

If all the band-wagoners chip in, it'll rise 400,000.

If the 'fans but not members' chip in, it should rise as many as 15-20.

Of course, it'll drop by as many as 30 when the free kicks dry up & gws become the AFL's priority...

And people are well within their rights to be reminded that Franklin has done more for this club then any of the people slating him from behind a keyboard.

Two things for mine;

1. If a player chooses to leave Hawthorn and seek riches elsewhere, they are well within their rights, but I wish them no premiership good fortune

2. After the line in the sand game me and my mates thought we'd be shit for years. The following year, MCG versus Brisbane, Buddy broke out. We looked at one another and decided we could build a premiership around him. He is a Hawthorn great pure and simple.

So please people, bag him as a swan, not as a hawk

Isn't St Kilda going to be the new "Cool" club? (Don't they inherit the record now?)

Haha their guaranteed GF membership going to rise by $500. Bit like our prices rises post 08

Fremantle hate this post...

Oh No!! The Ox is slow...(but he could become unbearable)

And I hate Fremantle too!!

 

[Hong Kong Hawk]

Fremantle hate this post...

When they first joined the league, a mate of mine said the AFL had done it to ensure that there was always one team in existence that had never won a premiership. Prophetic words

 

[Taskmaster]

Well done to the Dogs. Bloody fantastic win.
The dogs have just shown that no team next year will really give a flying f..k about finishing top 4 next season. The bye after the h&a has proven that there is absolutely no advantage to finishing top 4.

They've also proved that if you really want it, you'll win it from anywhere.

 

[The Lemon]

Watching the replay, I'm sad we finished out flags way too early. They were over in the first.

2008 and a result like today...late win...would have been epic

The rejects.

watching today, fck we missed an opportunity!

 

[A Cut Above]

You wait til Richmond wins one - that will be insufferable

I can't decide if our species will evolve into a hive mind via embryonic bio-implants embedded in our cortexs by then or we'll become a hybrid race of AI-driven cyborgs. Either way life on Mars will take some getting used to.

 

[Hawks1994]

What an incredible day.
Almost up there with our four from this century.
The moment of Beverage inviting Bob up to the stage to present him with the coaches medal was something out of the top draw
Congratulations to the Doggies, 100% fully deserved

Definition of a sore loser.
I dislike them as much as any other but seriously, no opportunity for the fans to thank/congratulate the players and no opportunity for the player to do liksewise for the fans???
Awful form

Going to do some entertaining reading on the Sydney board. Should give some belly laughs .

If people are slating him when he was a Hawk, then sure
As I mentioned, no-one will forget or bag what he did for us supporters as a Hawk
As a Swan, I hope he never ever has success, EVER! (As a footballer)
