As an aside, he's a good bloke from the one time I met him. He was overseeing Swans training at a ground in Sth Yarra where I used to play and my old team was supposed to be training a few years ago, and the Swans rocked up wanting to have a brief session on the oval for touch. I had retired but was doing a boxing session at a gym there and on the way out as he was collecting balls near the car park I said hi to him and suggested that he and the club should think about handing over some training balls to the club that actually should be training.
A few days passed and I was finishing up a boxing session as the usual lads were about to train, and I enquired if they received any new footballs recently. And sure enough, Dew had handed a few over as thanks, which was a nice touch.
He's a big lad, he was even big in the 2008 GF when he proved himself to be an absolute gun. I heard stories about him walking tens of KM's to training to fix his hamstring that year, not sure how true that was........but it's a good story.

Only 17 hours until we know.

Yep. And they have destroyed any faint finals hopes for Adelaide.

Good blokes. They’d have to beat us by 90 or so points. That ain’t happening.

Ah yes, hopefully that's good news for us.

The true upside from that game. Hopefully the Crows are even more deflated.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2019
If we don’t beat the Crows, we don’t deserve finals. Simple as that.
The Hawks result is irrelevant. If we lose, one of the Adelaide teams would get in. The 1% chance that we could get in with a loss shouldn’t be a source of comfort for anyone. Players nor fans.

Wasn't expecting that but it puts to bed the lose and still make it scenario which I like. We have to win, if we're good enough we'll play finals.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2019
If we draw, we play finals. Is it still deserving?

I don't know. A few decent weeks in a row and suddenly in the finals. We've been patchy and inconsistent all season and kind of feels strange that we're a chance to make it anyway.

Re: AFL Game Day R23 2019
Adelaide can still make the finals if they beat us by 96 points.
