You’ve got a weird obsession with us, a team you should be envious of really.

Even when we’re struggling to jump the last hurdles we’re making finals with ease, and do so being one of the highest scoring sides most years.

Let it go dude, Freo might make finals sometime this decade.

Port played great footy this year but were forced into a rugby scrum. It happens.

Look, it works for Richmond, good on them, 3rd GF appearance in 4 years, but it’s a shocking game style, boring to watch, it’s literally rugby.

Boak and Gray will be 33 next season though, they are running out of time.

Last time we made the prelim was 2014 and we went in to the next season as flag favourites - we didn't win another final until two weeks ago. Just gotta hope we can build on it this time and come back stronger.

yeah I didn’t realise their ages, but the process looks solid, so if the young guys continue to excel, and the team buys into the process, anything is possible. Look at our injuries this year and young players step up and fill the roles til the main guys return. Balta, Chol, Jake Aarts, Oleg Markov, Stack, Dow, Jack Ross and Eggmolesse-Smith all filled roles this year, with a Balta and Shai Bolton taking the next step to regular spot takers, and Caddy not even able to get in.
 
Dusty will go close to being as good as any to play the game by the time he finishes his career.
Hang on. Back that truck up.
He won’t even end his career as the best mid from the 00s.

Best player I've ever seen.

He has had an incredible incredible. He needed a few early years early in his career to become who he eventually became but when he did, he was amazing. Snr and Jnr are the greatest Father/Son duo this sport has produced. And considering the genes, could we perhaps get another amazing Ablett generation in the future?
