Yep this.
I reckon at the point of us being knocked out ( hopefully it doesnt happen) I will prob log off BF for a month and uninstall the AFL app and focus on EPL or something I care a lot less about.

But for Dom Sheed last year, that’s what I would have done.
My post count is hundreds up, on account of that glorious day.

Essendon VFL blew a 40 point 3qtr time lead in a QF, I hope their bad luck continues next week.

I italicised who I thought ended up or will end up with the better careers out of all Rising Star nominees that year (except for 2016 onwards as I still feel it's too early to make that call).
Some observations:
- Sam Mitchell so far is the last Rising Star winner that can make a good argument for being the best out of all 22 that year.
- Hawthorn cleaned up in 2005 even if they didn't have the Rising Star top 3.
- 2004 easily one of the worst Rising Star crops since the award started. Seriously, have a look at it. Andrew Mackie was a serviceable part of the Geelong triple flags, Daniel Cross had an okay career and Cooney fluked a Brownlow, and Seaby, Butler and Waters tagged along for a flag, but outside of them it's very meh.
Polak second in 2003.
Andrew Raines runner up in 2006. That's one for AFL anomalies quiz night
IIRC he had a degenerative knee. Pretty decent defender at Richmond before moving to Brisbane, where he had a good few seasons as a tagger. Was never a star, but his body ultimately let him down.
I had Andrew Raines in my Supercoach in 2011. Decent scorer.

I am going to reserve judgement on Richmond until they actually win away from the G

Yes, really looking forward to their game in Brissy next week. Interested to see how much a venue has a bearing on the outcome considering they will have played two games against each other back to back.
It's a shame they wont have to travel after the QF regardless.
Brad Scott meeting with Freo.
Please

Hiring Scott would be a real budget saving for Fremantle because he can provide his own shoulder chip.

Like an actual meeting?
False alarm, the meeting was with the City of Fremantle over a parking fine he got at Adam Simpson's barbecue.

Why the f*** is Adam Simpson living in Fremantle??
It's for charity, he's showing the underprivileged what a good coach looks like.

Sounds arrogant, I approve
Fremantle whilst having a s**t team in football is actually a beautiful area!
