Good bye Melbourne it seems.
Gives me a warm glow.
Re: AFL Round 23, 2017 Discussion
Very happy if the Dees don't make it. Not a fan.
Re: AFL Round 23, 2017 Discussion
With Melbourne losing it absolves us of some guilt in letting Essendon in the finals.
Re: AFL Round 23, 2017 Discussion
Even if Melbourne make it they won't go any further.
Re: AFL Round 23, 2017 Discussion
WCE are choking. Would rather Dees make it.
Re: AFL Round 23, 2017 Discussion
Last time we won the flag in 1954 we missed the finals by 0.6% the year after, which was the smallest percentage gap ever to miss finals. We win the flag in 2016 and Melbourne miss the finals by 0.5% the year after - that's a record I'm glad to pass over to someone else.
At the start of the year all we heard was how Melbourne and St Kilda were not only going to storm the top 8, they were going to storm the top 4. Both have bottled it big time in 2017.

Yeah we did. But I'd much bottle it after a flag and the best September run in history.

Yep. Was is it our pre season game against Melbourne where Gerard Healy said Melbourne will finish top 4?

Yep. All the scribes were also talking up the Saints big time after the NAB Challenge.

I heard that Richmond has a full list bar one player to choose from.

Wonderful recovery from disaster from Richmond .
Didn't blow the place up, and traded well . Melbourne got what they deserved after yesterday's soft effort .
Bit of karma for Watts and Bugg as well . Stkilda have been terribly disappointing after just missing out last year
Going to be an unpredictable finals series, and feel annoyed we're not participating.

Can we recruit their medical staff ?
