Yeeeeaaaah except 2 years ago Lobb wasn't even getting a regular game and Dangerfield was already elite.

Yes because it was Dangerfields 7th year and Lobbs 1st
Which is why we should have got in early. Perfect forward-part time ruck. Gonna make the likes of Tippett look like a turd sandwich in the next few years.
I'll be across the road at the GVFL grand final, but with some locals lads (Shepparton) playing for Bushies, I'll keep one eye on Twitter for the scores.
Watching the game tonight at reminiscing with friends about yesterdays game I've changed my mind about going after any big names this year like Mitchell and co.
The way the Bont has come along and how Caleb Daniel and Tom Papley have played in the finals i prefer the idea of a couple of high picks with the addition of Steele better for our team. I don't see us competing at the same level theses finals were played at next year and with the likes of Acres,Gresham and Ross coming good another full hard season for them as the main midfielders will do them wonders. We should keep the war chest to retain our growing list of talent add a couple of top end kids to it and hopefully be cherry ripe for 2018/19 finals.
Also though having never meet any of Rocky,Dusty or Mitchell and only going on things that are being quoted about their character i'd rather not have that at our club and just go for the free agents next year.

The bulldogs finals campaign has been nothing short of amazing.
They have shown the comp that you don't need a dozen a grade guns on your list to make the Grand final.
You need 22 committed aggressive skilled players with a good game plan, excellent coach and are willing to practically die for each other.
Champion team beats team of champions.
Exactly and we build that through culture, I don't think any of the big name players that have been bandied about would throw themselves on the proverbial hand grenade for their fellow teammates.
Full credit to the Dogs. At the start of the finals, there were three teams I didn't think could win it: North because they were lucky to be in there, West Coast b/c they're only good at home and Doggies as they'd been smashed by injuries. Thought any of remaining 5 could win. Doggies have already proven me wrong by making the big dance.
BrianSpeaking threw out some info on Twitter today about Haynes, Hoskin-Elliot, Steele and "a very, very good young defender".

Hence why Nathan Wright gets games & got a contract extension. He's the type of player that would die for his team mates.

They did have 75 father and son picks though. We had a chance at a father and son once with Paul Temay's son but he was playing mixed netball, had great hands!!
Just having some fun Punter at your expense. Your post is dead on the money. Doggies just will not go away in a tight game and they made us look second rate earlier in the season, good luck to them and their supporters. If they win it then we take over the mantle as the team with the longest premiership drought in the AFL/VFL oh I FORGOT the DEES. Easily forgettable mind you.

Yep - kissed by the footy Gods. Like Geelong before them with all the F/S's
At the ground last night, I would have said Nick Haynes was GWS's best player by a mile. He was intercept marking everything, tackling, spoiling, shepherding & doing the all the selfless things that win games. Shame for him that he had too many teammates that were overawed by the occasion, but he stood up tall.
2 weeks tomorrow for trade period. 3 days earlier for free agency.
One play didn't lost them the match, GWS should have won the game if it wasn't for bad umpiring and too many dropped marks..

Ahhhh yes. I forgot about that
At the ground, the umpiring seemed very good. Only real howler of a call I thought was for Devon Smith's dive when he was out bodied in a marking contest in the forward line in the 1st quarter.
Who is the guy that does the VFL commentary on SEN? Sounds like a comedy take off of Gerard Wheatly.

All it would have done is upset when he goes back Perth. How could we have got him anyway? I know gws are still young but it should give great hope to clubs like us that a side as poor money wise as us is into a gf. It's great for game and it certainly gives me hope. Now they just need to win the bloody thing

Are you still confident about this Rors? For me, unless we can pull a couple of rabbits out of a hat, our list will still be a fair way behind the Dogs and the Giants.
We need to nail this years draft and hope we can get a couple of guns with the room we have in the cap. If this doesn't happen, we won't get close to these two sides IMO.
