wooooohoooo!!! go our boys!! we absolutely cleaned up today and i am so so proud!! wish i could have been there- quite annoyed there were spare seats at the ground and wish the fans that were there got into it a bit more!!
i am stoked for stevie to win the norm smith but there were so many guys who could have taken it - chappy especially, scarlett, moons, dasher... list goes on. i am also impressed by nathan ablett - performed better than he has lately dont you think? good choice to bring kingy in - still sad for blakey but he has years ahead of him and he would have learned a lot from today. and what about stokesy!! wow i'm just blown away -today everyone played their part. thanks tommy and bomber!! love you!
