Yeah? ..... Nah!

..Can you imagine what would have happened to this Bigfooty board, Port membership, and game attendances with Lobbe & Butcher playing?...

I wouldn't say absolutely phenomenal... Buddy Franklin's 2008 was absolutely phenomenal. Jarryd Roughead's 2014 finals series (get ******) was absolutely phenomenal.

Mine is so ancient that I can't remember it, but given my impeccable record it must have been correct at the time. ;)

Much in keeping with legendary cricket umpire Colin Egar '54. He was once asked if he had ever made an incorrect call, He replied, 'based on the evidence before me at the time, no!":D

The fact that Sydney & West Coast finished in the Top 8 constitutes them being Top 8 sides.

The spin that a lot of haters are still trying to put on it is bordering lunacy.
Lunacy, and yet so expected. What does that tell you?

'Dropping your bundle' against two bottom six sides should be an even easier spin, because true, but it isn't, because Adelaide media.

A lot was made of our costly losses to 'lowly' Carlton and Brisbane over a couple of seasons.

Well that class of statistic is now a pungently salty sauce for a baking dish full of scavenger bird corpses. Let them eat.

Indeed, if we had played and beaten Richmond in Game 1, the not beating a team in the Top8 would have still applied with their logic. We need to play a team with an early alphabetical order in game 1.

Top 8 only applies to the end of the season standings.

Well won't happen next year. We play Fremantle in round 1 at AO so we will be playing the 5th team ( dumbass logic! )

Nick O'Kearney delisted by St Kilda. Can't say I had heard of him but he averaged 26 disposals for the Calder Cannons to win their best and fairest, as well as earning selection in the TAC Cup Team of the Year on a half-back flank.

He was also an All-Australian with Vic Metro, playing in a back pocket and averaging 21 possessions across five games.

High Possession games. Could replace Hewett or Snelling on the rookie list.
