    I reckon that Murph poster would have to be poster of the year.

    Has the poster-Karma finally turned? Dayne Beams hitting it twice in the last half of the last quarter and we sneak into 3rd by a few points.

    Let's hope so.

    I thought the worm turned against geelong in the last quarter when they hit the post I made the comment that the worm might have turned our way we then fan away with it a little.

    Have a look at the date of the post, I was talking about the first time we played Geelong, when we lost by a couple of points and hit the post twice in the last quarter.

    We were a bit better with posters this week - but the kicking at goal from Higgins and Murphy has been a little frustrating of late - hopefully they have got it out of their system for the finals.

    Re: Hitting the post!

    It'd be great if they bought in a rule that if it hits the post and goes goalside it's a goal, if it goes behind it's a point and if it bounces back it's play on.


    I really like that rule from the preseason comp.

    So, you're level when the final siren goes & are taking a shot from 40 metres out to win the Grand Final.

    You have 21 metres to aim at; 7, 7 & 7.

    All you need is a point to win!

    In you come, hit it sweetly, it starts veering offline & cannons into the goal post only to bounce back into the field of play!

    Rugby league and Rugby Union cope with it quite nicely. If a bunch of meatheads like that can get their brain around it we should be able to!

    But they don't have an additional 7 metres each side of the goal posts that count as a score as we do.

    If it was a point for hitting the post and a goal for hitting the post and going through the goals i could accept that.
