Exhibit A of why Steve Johnson was kicked to the curb. Cost the Giants a GF berth as Palmer made some key blunders.
Thats a fair comment really. He was fantastic all year, but he wasnt there when they needed him, so all his good work goes to waste.

Palmer was disgraceful

Good game - Clay Smith has a shit tattoo on his arm so I won't comment on his performance. JJ's run in the last was pivotal in getting Footscray over the line. Bont didn't do much but lifted when needed most. Liberatore was immense. Tonight's result is a win for the reasons we all fell in love with Australian Rules. Proves there's still some true meaning and emotion to this once great league.

Certainly tempted to buy a GF ticket utilising my membership rights and palm it off to a long-suffering Footscray fan.

Unfortunately will be a massively one-sided affair next week, especially if Roughead doesn't get up. I'm against gambling, but won't hesitate to put money on Sydney to win by 60+, Bud to kick at least 8, and for Luke Parker to be best afield.

Yeah I desperately want the Dogs to win but I think Swans will do it in a canter.

Think Cordy's knee deserves a bit of praise for taking out the Giants best midfielder (albeit accidentally of course).

Well done to the Dogs, your fans deserve this.

I think that's essentially handed the premiership to the Swans though. This will be unpopular, but I can see the Swans doing it easily next week.
