To put it in perspective, the first time Harvey played against Port was our 4th ever game in the AFL. Yep: I'd say the odds of somebody passing his record would be akin to the odds of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton becoming lovers :)
Thanks for the mental images. Good thing I'm a reptile fetishist.

She looks rather enamored with him in this photo. Then again, so does Slick Willy :p

I'm also stoked for Harvey. The same was probably said about Tuck's record, but I don't reckon anyone's gonna catch Boomer now!

What a round for milestones: Mitchell 300, Bartell 300, Enright becomes Geelong games record holder, Pavlich 350 and Harvey's all time games record!

If they finished 4th theyd presumably play Hawthorn first week in finals at MCG, couldnt see them winning that.

Following week would probably be an AO final, but I reckon theyd have to play 4 weeks straight to make the GF.

The danger obviously is that they finish top 2, fingers crossed it doesnt happen.

So the AFL have warned us over Chad's behavoiur in the norf game after giving a bit of lip to that campaigner Harvey!.

The reason the AFL knew about it is cause Harvey squelled like a pig to his avout it and then norf squelled to the AFL

Seriously f*** the AFL atm and f*** Harvey this week and and i hope norf miss the 8.

If they finish top 2 they finish top 2. There's nothing we can do about it so just deal with it I reckon. No one can say they don't deserve it either. They've arguably been the most consistent team all year, with their only real "down" game a mere 5 goal loss at Kardinia Park. Still don't think they'll win the flag as I think a few teams, most notably Hawthorn, still have an extra gear to go to in finals while the crows have probably shown their entire hand, but anything is possible if you put yourself in the grand final, and they're giving themselves every chance to do that.

Yep they've achieved everything our guys should've but didn't and only two things will stop them this year.

1. Injuries. They've had a great run here so taking out just a couple of key planks late in the game might be enough to destabilize them, as the replacements are nowhere near as good and have little time to get up to speed (especially finals speed).

2. Hawthorn and Geelong. They haven't been able to beat these teams for a while now and they're probably still ahead on class and experience.

Butl like you said all you can do right now is buy a ticket to the show and they've got front row seats.
