part of an email from my 74 yo mum who I thought knew nothing about footy.

"Meant to tell you that I watched the Grand Final and was in total awe of the Tigers. They are SO FAST and what really impressed me was the way that they were without exception always there for each other for support and on the ball within seconds with a team mate right behind in case of a fumble or tackle."

Dangerfield, Selwood and Ablett – it’s enough to fill Geelong fans with unbridled excitement, and enough to fill opposition fans with pure dread. These three superstars form perhaps the most decorated trio to play the game today – sporting an unrivalled list of accolades. When it comes to
GEELONG CATS SIGNED ‘THE ENGINE ROOM’
$595.00

Selwood, however, it’s never been about personal accolades. His courage and captaincy have been amongst the most revered at AFL level, as he sits amongst the games most respected and elite leaders. Danger’s arrival at Geelong saw the Cats instantly catapulted into Premiership contention, and saw an entire community welcome back a homegrown hero, while Ablett’s return in 2018 was a fairy-tale for Geelong’s favourite son. All the stars are aligned for these three superstars to deliver another Premiership to the Cats’ faithful.

Imagine if you had been told Richmond would end up with 3 of the best players from the 2010 draft, and that wouldn't include the player we drafted with pick 6. There's an argument that Lynch and Presti are 2 of the best 3 or 4 players out of that AFL draft.

And instead of the Gold Coast's draft concessions making it impossible for us to rise up the ladder they were the catalyst for 2 flags in 3 years

tbf at the time it was seen as a good idea to try rape the expansion teams

no one needs that many great young players

I doubt many of us thought itd be as good a result as Lynch, Prestia, Caddy, Townsend

Gold Coast did screw us though.. they poached Miles, Ellis and Ellis from us.
 
Son and I stopped at Wallan on the way down and three GWS buses had pulled in just before. Walked into the food area and hesitated when confronted with an eyeful of grey and orange. A polite GWS supporter invited us in with, "It's okay, we don't bite."
"Yeah no worries," I replied, "but I'm hoping we do later on this afternoon."

September specialists: How many premiership players are at your club?

It's no surprise that the Tigers have the most premiership players on their list.

FOLLOWING its second flag in three years, Richmond easily boasts the most premiership players in the competition.
Last month the premiership players' club welcomed six more Tigers – first-game phenomenon Marlion Pickett, former Gold Coast co-captain Tom Lynch, fellow big man Ivan Soldo and speedy trio Jayden Short, Liam Baker and Shai Bolton.
This boosted Richmond's premiership player stocks to 25 – six clear of nearest rival West Coast (19), followed by the Western Bulldogs (14), Hawthorn (nine), Collingwood (six) and Geelong (six).

This was despite the fact the Tigers farewelled three men who'd experienced flag glory, with dual premiership player Brandon Ellis joining Gold Coast, Dan Butler moving to St Kilda and veteran Shaun Grigg retiring.
Richmond's modern immortals have combined to win a total of 40 premierships between them, also comfortably a League high, ahead of Hawthorn (25), West Coast (20), the Bulldogs (16) and Geelong (11).
The Tigers also have the most players with Grand Final experience with that same imposing figure 25, leading Collingwood (23), West Coast (22), this year's runner-up Greater Western Sydney (22) and the Dogs (14) and Sydney (14).

This year the Hawks and the Swans lost considerable premiership experience while Adelaide said goodbye to several members of its 2017 Grand Final team.
St Kilda has been boosted by the recruitment of three men who have played on the last Saturday in September, including premiership players Bradley Hill and Butler, while wooden spooner Gold Coast gained important big-game experience by securing ex-Tiger Ellis and former Crow Hugh Greenwood.

Carlton lost Collingwood's 2010 premiership star Dale Thomas along with Alex Fasolo, a member of the Pies' 2011 Grand Final side, and if the Blues didn't lure homecoming hero Eddie Betts back from Adelaide they wouldn't have a single player on their list who'd competed in a Grand Final.
That's the predicament of North Melbourne, who last had a premiership player on its books in 2016, in the form of AFL games record-holder Brent Harvey, who was a member of the Kangaroos' most recent flag in 1999.
AFL lists are yet to be finalised and there could still be more movement, but at the moment the League features 177 players with Grand Final experience, including 95 premiership players.

Still hasn't sunk in! What the hell! This sort of article isn't "supposed" to be written about us!
