    Psychologically it's going to be interesting. Doubt any player in the team has won there, and they run out to thousands of jeering Dons fans at a "home" final.

    Why is top 4 home more important than bottom 4 home? Home is home right? You won the right to choose.

    I would like to see our president make some noise about this. Cmon Kylie get your angry on.

    Definitely no choice for the club based on what I’ve heard.

    Ah well, the merry go round of the season continues. One last clip from the AFL… hoping this one acts to galvanise the group. It’s us against the world (again) with no leg up (again) against a team in much better form (again) who the powers that be and the media will want to win (again).

    As Jay-Z once said “call me crazy, but strangely I love the odds”

    Darcy is usually reasonably outspoken. But I've not heard him say anything in an official club capacity before. Probably not his place.

    Bains or Watson-Wheeler are the right people to make some noise.

    I'm still trying to reconcile how you can have proof that a game went for too long, materially impacted the top four's make up and everybody's pretending it's fine and dandy.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    This is reverse GWS prelim.
    They have a very big following. 90% of the crowd against hawks were Essendon fans. A friend was at the ground and he couldn’t believe the support for Essendon. For a crowd of 10,000 I’d say you’ll be lucky to see 800 dogs supporters.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Tasmania? Really?

    You're *!*!*!*!ing kidding me.

    Great that DG and any others may get to go of course but why ANY final would be played in Tasmania is ridiculous.

    If not SA, it should be Brisbane/GC. It should be OUR choice.

    What a weekend.... Can anything else actually go against us?

    I’m sorry but this is the final straw. This season is a massive asterisk. At least last season all teams (but 1) were in the same boat. This is beyond compromised.

    You know, when we used those black cats as footballs at training and were kicking them under ladders into mirrors to smash them, I thought there was a possibility it could come back to bite us.

    Our invisible president. To say she has been underwhelming would be to assume she has done anything.

    Gordon gave us profile, we should never take this for granted as one of the lesser sized clubs. I hope and expect to hear far more from our president in 2022.
