Well said by Blighty. Player MVP is a joke.

Not really insightful but was glad to hear Juddy rip Jon Ralph a new one on Footy Classifieds last night.

Ralph was way out of order I reckon.

What did he say?

Ralph went on a rant about Judd saying he's the Teflon Man.

Saying stuff like, did he improve Carlton, how was the culture at WC when he was there etc etc.
Caro said it was way over the top and Lloyd bagged him for it as well.

Judd responded in his typically acerbic way by saying "when you don't break stories like Ralph, you have to
have strong opinions. It doesn't bother me though as Jon will flip his opinion as soon as you look
him straight in the eye"

Celebration , whats that got to do with culture , Ralphy is a tosser obviously hates West Coast as do Melbourne supporters cos west coast played in 27 years of 30 finals versus about 5 combined for those 2 clubs. Its a toss up whether Gary Lying(on his mates missus) or Ralph (another name for Vomitting) hate west coast the most.

Love this "interview" with Simmo's daughter on Fox Footy tonight. VERY insightful.

This confirms what we already knew, in quite clear detail...
Eagles travel - 56,704km.
Collingwood travel - 16,344km.
How is it a level playing field, or anywhere near that?

The VFL and the Vic media will still not recognise it. It is what it is and I'm not looking for any equalisation measures, I just want the VFL to acknowledge that it impacts team performance and the lifespan of a players career.

Yes to recognising the impact on players careers etc!
it's a long road to any equalisation for sure...just frustrating that the game is SO Vic-centric, for a supposed national code. It's a tired old debate I know, but when you imagine what it could be like with more parity across all levels - it is just so different to today's system.... one small step at a time.

According to the Vics, it’s how it’s always been = it’s fair

They wouldn't have a comp. Bordering on insolvency before it went national.

Now it just borders on insufferable

"West Coast v Collingwood (OS) 6.10PM

As I predicted at the start of the season, West Coast and Collingwood finished top four.

I even have proof, as I wrote it down on a bit of paper which I will show you as soon as the ink has dried.

Perth is a beautiful city, let down by the fact that it is riddled with Eagles fans. This weekend it will be even worse, with the joint teeming with Pies fans too.

My thoughts are with the hospitality staff in that city.

Like a professional Argentinian polo player trying to clear immigration, the Pies have had all sorts of obstacles thrown in their way this season.

Injuries, more injuries and then some more injuries have made things difficult, but they’ve persevered.

It’s a lesson for all of us when life continues to throw challenges your way, give up immediately, or all you’ll get in the end is a trip to Perth.

Facing the Eagles at home is not exactly fun, but the Pies have shown an ability to overcome great odds, so write them off at your peril.

The Eagles clinched second spot and if anything, are underrated. Of all the teams, I probably fancy their chances of losing to Richmond in the Grand Final the most.

They’ve even won away from home this year making them a legitimate threat for the Premiership.

Don’t let Eagles fans know I said anything nice about their team, however, I’ll never hear the end of it.

I’m tipping the Eagles."

I know that, and you know that.

But THEY are ignorant (wilfully or otherwise).
