2018 Final Series

[Twodogs]

Seriously low quality for a final

Happy with the result though,

I think the Pies can win next week.

My only problem with Jimmy is that his voice is shot. As far as actual relevant star quality goes he's a good choice.

Cold Chisel a better choice. Bow River would be unbelievable.

Would also love ACDC or Midnight Oil, but maybe that's a bridge too far.

You know Barnesy is Cold Chisel’s lead singer, right? If his voice is shot (which I completely disagree with), he’d be be out in front of Chisel with it. He’ll put on a great show.

Wow. Thank you for that information. I didn't know.

My point is that I think Jimmy's voice is shot, but if you're going to have him, then reach further into your pockets and get the whole band. At least then the back and forth vocals might not make him sound so bad.

I like Jimmy plenty. But have you heard him sing lately? There's no doubt he'll "put on a great show (effort has never been his letdown)", but his voice is shot. Disagree if you like, but you'll be wrong.

Doesn't Mossy sing Bow River? Barnes sort of grunts and moans during bits of it but Mossy sings most of it. Add Saturday night and Khe Sahn and it's problem solved.


Problem solved really.

Problem solved really.

Isn't that basically what I'm saying?

GWS found wanting - again. Greene - basically unsighted. Cameron missed the easy shot at a vital time. Lobbed got schooled by Grundy.
Pies can beat Richmond. Demons can beat Cokes so ... It's back to the 1950s!

Griffen has retired.

[ReLoad]

Griffen has retired.

The guy is an enigma wrapped in a riddle.

What could have been......

[AndrewP6]

No worries. I say that when I'm wrong too .

I'm happy to let you believe you're right. 😄

Very enjoyable night watching the Plastic Franchise go down again.

[GVGjr]

Griffen has retired.

He was quite a player, wish him the best.

[bornadog]

He was quite a player, wish him the best.

Shame he didn't finish up a one club player.

[Dry Rot]

Griffen has retired.

Shame he wasn't selected to play tonight. Could have made a difference.

I've never enjoyed a Collingwood win so much.

Jeremy Cameron lol! Norf should go after him.

I feel dirty watching the replay now just to see the Giants get done. There's just not enough mongrel in the Giants when it counts, it's like they have too many good players and not enough good ordinary players.

Al Clarkson talked about all of the good teams of the last few years being system based teams that have players all doing roles within a set structure. It's like the Giants rely on the parts to create a result rather than the result dictating what the parts need to do, if that makes sense.

As an aside, the AFL would have been licking its lips at the prospect of Griffen joining the Giants and deserting a club that it has marginalised over time. It was a boon for them, and it actually in my view, drove a lot of the negative media we received for taking Boyd as retribution for the defection in light of much of the AFL media being City Hall acolytes.

History will look at that point in time well and truly in favour of the Bulldogs. All of the stories will be about Boyd's heroic efforts in the last two weeks of September 2016, and our gutsy decision to back his acquisition with a large contract and not lay prone whilst the league backed construction walked all over us.

Every day this group of GWS players don't succeed is another we should celebrate. We beat City Hall in the most important battle of our recent existence.
