Adelaide/GWS grand final would be OK, two fresh teams, Adelaide winning would be the only good result tho.

Yeah, but Adelaide does as well in finals series as the South African Cricket team in the World Cup finals

I reckon my favourite is a toss up between laughing at Bob Murphy for missing a premiership with a knee injury or his concession that he doesn’t bother learning the names of interstate players.

edit: Hearing from a reliable source that Carlton & Hawthorn are both offering Jack Redpath two years while the Bulldogs are only offering one year. Amusingly Carlton don't want to offer Casboult what he wants but he's still a better marking threat than Redpath.

Casboult can't kick and he isnt getting an extra 100k let alone 300k or whatever hes asking for.

Matthew Boyd is announcing his retirement tomorrow morning


AFL premiership player (2016)
3× Charles Sutton Medal (2009, 2011, 2012)
3× All-Australian team (2009, 2011, 2016)
Western Bulldogs captain (2011–2013)
Pre-season premiership player: 2010
Bob Rose–Charlie Sutton Medal: (2007)
Most games by a rookie drafted player

Hell of a career and it's incredibly that he turned from a tough inside mid that couldn't kick to a skilled half back that was such a smart user of the footballer in the twilight of his career.

Grundy got more than Dangerfield because Brown was unlucky enough to get knocked out. It is a bad system and he got unlucky.

Hawkins is a serial offender, and afl have been trying to get through his thick skull that they don't consider what he did minor for years.

I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
Geelong could honestly go winless for the rest of the season. At 50 points they could still potentially finish in 8th or even miss if they get walloped a couple of times. CHAOS BALL!!!
