Keeping Brown would’ve been a mistake , he wouldn’t have got near it most of the year with our ball delivery & even if we managed to jag a couple of games because we kept him ? What good does that do us ? We may have even missed out on JHF … let’s face it we are in a rebuild & a bit off from contending at this point . Larkey benefited from being the number 1 forward in learning positioning , bodywork and work rate . Lest we forget he wanted 5yrs @ 800k . No thanksMan the Dees really ran away with it, I had them cooked 10 mins into the 3rd... They just clicked.
Still think getting rid of BBB is probably the first misstep that Brady has taken (I don't think we should've bowed to his manager but even though we gained Stevo from it we let him go for way unders). Is a genuinely nice bloke despite what a few say about him and his wife on here, so very happy to see him win a flag.
EDIT: nice to see Maj too
…so did BT after Bonts goal
Go back and listen to the replay…he was going to win the Norm, be a Premiership Capt and be greater than EJ.
As they say in the classics

This might be a really poor take regarding the Dogs, but I don't think Caleb Daniel makes them better at all, and is actually quite detrimental.
I know he got alot of the pill, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's been good.
I find the Dogs seem to slow up when they actively look for him to exclusively take the ball out of defence. They look so much faster and deadlier when they just go best available option out of defence and bypassing looking for Caleb.
I know he's a great user of the footy, but so is most of the Dogs team...
Am I being a bit silly or do other people find this as well?

To those that experienced 99’ what does it feel like? It’s only something I can dream of.

Great answerI'll be honest. 1999 gave me a smug satisfaction rather than euphoria. For me, I was so confident we'd win that it took a bit away from it all. I remember that at the end of the Carlton/Essendon Prelim I was driving down Beach Rd with my new girlfriend (now Mrs Marstermind) and when the Blues won I did the fist pumps and told her we just won the flag. For me, it was such a formality that deep, deep down I wish we'd have won by more. Also, I also felt that it evened to score from '98 - I side as good as ours should have 2 flags. Don't get me wrong, I loved it - just not as much as 1996 which I still watch and get emotional during the last quarter. Never been happier. Had we beaten Essendon in '99 though.....well, we'll never know.

Definitely, Aunty always tells me how good the year was, especially taunting the oppo fans at every game. I can’t really feel the connection with any past ones as I need to feel them in person if that makes sense.1996 was better.
I was 9 in 1977 and 28 in 1996
Go figure out what it was like as a 28 year old after all those years
What’s worse…I was 31 in 1999 and now I am 53.
Nobody was beating us in 99 .I'll be honest. 1999 gave me a smug satisfaction rather than euphoria. For me, I was so confident we'd win that it took a bit away from it all.

Nobody was beating us in 99 .
So will I.And when we win the next one I will be bawling with joy

Soft uphill skier?Painful indifference.
The result of watching us finish 10th for 20 years.
Don’t ignore Burgess.Choco and Richardson. 2 mature heads.
