Did anyone listen to Rucci this morning?
Was he praising it?

I heard Rucci a few days ago fapping on about how powerful the last five minutes supposedly are and how it apparently sets the scene for a successful 2017.

This is a pretty unimportant question. But who is the first listed team for the Grand Final? Bulldogs because they came from the top side of the finals fixture? Or Sydney because they finished higher in the H&A season?

i.e. should it be
W. Bulldogs v Sydney; or
Sydney v W. Bulldogs?
I'm no expert but surely Sydney VS Western Bulldogs

That's the only part I saw and it had all the players in the room with Hinkley and KT saying it wasn't good enough and they needed to think over the summer what they want to achieve. Big ****kng deal.

Considering Frankston were in administration and bankrupt, it was hardly "stunning". Hyperbole much?
The VFL were more worried about them being competitive on field than their flatlined off field position.

They terminated the licence when the administrators said they were focused on the club's finances than on field performance.

That's harsh, not like they'd be the only VFL team kicked from pillar to post each season.

Nope, it should be Western Bulldogs vs. Sydney

Historically, I thought the winner of the first prelim hosts the GF regardless of their ladder position.

The Bulldogs beat them at the SCG this year.

They've got the midfield to match Sydney, they will have more run and they won't just bomb it to the Sydney defenders, they will use their elite skills to find players just as they have this whole finals series.
Either of the Bulldogs or GWS were the two best equipped teams to handle Sydney if they made it to the GF, I think it'll be a cracking game.

Turn it up.

We have 15 to 20 active posters who don't want the crows in the SANFL but are way too gutless to post it.
I'm the opposite. I don't want the SANFL to have the Crows. It's an insult to our players to play in such an amateur comp, let alone to pay for the privilege.

This is gold. From the AFL website:

"Veteran Hawks campaigner Sam Mitchell has seven votes tonight and that's 211 across his career, moving him a solitary vote ahead of two-time medallist Chris Judd in fourth spot on the all-time tally."

A mistake or do people at the AFL feel the same way about the campaigner everyone else does?
