Bulldogs have a lot out. They'll be a different team in the finals. They have a number due back, and today's game was meh to them, apart from the great man retiring of course

Did I give it my all? Yes. Do I have anything left in the tank? No. Do I have any regrets? None.

(Sorry to shamelessly steal from the great man on his day.)
but did you mean everything you said?


It feels weird not being in finals. Go GWS I guess?

Yes. There are times I probably could of defended a bit harder but overall I'm happy with my effort. I'll miss Chop and stand by my comments during the year that he is a valuable player and will be a great addition to any team fortunate enough to secure his services. In a team with a better forward structure, he'll kill it.

I hope where ever he ends up, the fans there show him more love than we did.

I'll miss you Chop and I'll never forget what you did for the Dockers or the class you showed at Aubin Grove Primary for my boy. All heart.

I still think that Sydney are in the box seat to win the flag, but I'm looking forward to seeing how GWS handle the pressure of finals, particularly as they have a pretty good record against the swans.

woukd love to see the Bulldogs knock off the Eagles, but sadly can't see it happening.

Haven't they only won two against them? I hope Jeremy Cameron actually does something to earn his paycheck in September, blokes done zilch for a long time now.

So correct me if I'm wrong...but if the wiggles win and geelong lose....It's a geelong home final the week after...at the Cattery perhaps?

Can't wait to hear the howls from the wiggles over that one.
Because you guys silently accepted your final being played at Kardinia Park?

Won't happen anyway because it'll be the only final in Melbourne that weekend so MCG contract means it has to be there

I think he means we'd be sharing the sympathy your fans gave us when we were forced into playing there.

It was definitely a shit sandwich you were handed and yes I'm sure you'd be giving us the same sympathy, or lack of, as many of our supporters gave you back then

Wouldn't expect anything else. It is a rivalry after all

I think the rule the afl made was that geelong can only host finals in geelong against low drawing opponents which were fremantle, GWS, gold coast and port adelaide which is complete and utter rubbish. Either have it for all teams or dont do it all.

In hindsight though that win in 2013 was more special and memorable cause it was played there instead of etihad.

And we can still boast having won more finals in geelong then the cats themselves
