Why are we even discussing whether Geelong deserve an advantage or not? Screw those guys. KP is a hole that is only good for getting hypothermia. And I hope they lose. Douchebags.
Happy?? You know you are... :D :D

Now if the Weagles and GWS could somehow both lose this weekend...

Off-topic but does anyone know how to check posts you've liked on here? I looked stupid tonight because I was cracking up thinking about a stupid comment someone made on here a few weeks back (Basil commentating made me think of it) - need to find it and have one final laugh before I sleep tonight.

This is what I was trying to convince my WC supporting mate the other day. Given their retirements today in Priddis and Mitchell are the cream of their mids, who the hell is NicNat going to feed it to next year? Their midfield do not look very good.

Does Leon Cameron have the cushiest job of all the AFL coaches? Sheeds put in the hard yards as the kids matured and all he does is have to put 22 names on a sheet each week.

I get really pissed off at the AFL when you look at the concessions Port, Gold Coast and GWS all got to start their clubs up.

You should ask them if Vardy has gone past NicNat

NicNat had 1 effective disposal in the last final he played. Tonight Vardy had 4x as many effective disposal, more marks, more tackles and kicked a goal....and this was before NicNat did his knee

I was unaware of that stat :)

They seem to think that with NN back next year everything will be OK. the attitude was even if they lose tonight it was a great effort to make the 8 without NN and all that sort of guff. I just sipped my coffee and quietly scratched by balls under the table, all I could do not to just roll my eyes.

Oldest list in the comp. but sure gutsy effort to make finals and win a finals against the team that haven't beaten s top 8 team all year. PLUS add in the fact that 18 of their depth players couldn't beat the worst side in the WAFL.
Their list is stuffed. NicNat is the saviour..
just quietly sipping tea in my corner here

I also think he won't be in top form till the second half of the season, having had a year off. It is what happens with most other players when they come back from an extended injury break.

I agree in that Cameron's job is pretty similar to that of an autopilot but what exactly has Sheeds done? I doubt he had a say in recruiting and his coaching towards the end of his Essendon years and all of his time at GWS was shite. It's not like the side was progressing under him or they are playing a style which he started. Don't understand what he did there that was so great.

Probably the best part about tonight is seeing Mitchell play his last game in the most irrelevant stadium in the AFL and being clapped off by a paltry crowd who probably didn't know who he was but were told to clap anyway.

So the Eagles had pick 10 at the start of their last game against the Crows and have now ended up with pick 13. I am happy with that.

With their retirements and looking at what's left of their list I should be overjoyed but I won't sink the boot in just yet. We can all point the finger at them, laugh and speculate on their impending doom but we may be making a rod for our own back if we lose to them next year.
