Yeah its a fair bit different when at Round 9 all you have to look forward to is how big Scotty Wynd is doing in the Brownlow or you are 7-2 and looking at the finals.
I do want to win a Coleman though, it is something that we just have never gotten close to in my time.

You weren't around for 1985 and Beaser?
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

That's fair enough, I was only six but I remember bits and pieces of games and the finals etc.

Who knows, Bruce or Naughton still a chance for Coleman this year.

Barry Hall only lost by 5 to Jack Riewoldt in 2010.

The one individual award worth celebrating is a club best and fairest in a premiership year.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Marks, yes - god he is great to watch take flight at the ball. We’ll just have to hope the stars are aligned for his kicking. Was good last weekend
