    Tell us three things you learned.

      1. We will not win a final at Etihad or anywhere else if our forward structure doesn't improve, Tom Boyd must be there permanently.
      2. Rourke Smith, another find.
      3. We need Marcus Adams back asap.

        1. My head is going to explode. We need to play Tom more forward, and when he does don't ignore him or give him shithouse delivery.
        2. I just don't know how we cover all these injuries in a high pressure final.
        3. If Caleb Daniel doesn't win the Rising Star, I will lose my shit. Again, after Bonts snub.

          Are you allowed to win by 40 pts and feel a little deflated? Ok here's my 3:
          1. Footy gods are cruel - ooga booga on you too, let's hope Woody makes a miraculous recovery.
          2. Agree with you BAD, for goodness sake please give Boyd more time inside 50 and play a proper ruckman eg Campbell or Big Will so he can.
          3. Picken and Daniel - you are a little rippers!!

          Our day will come
          And we'll have everything.
          We'll share the joy
          Just like '54 again.

            1. I can feel genuine affection for someone wearing a Essendon jumper. Adam Cooney is a class act and a great footballer
            2. We had a really young team and made some basic errors.
            3. It's possible to win and still be a bit meh! about it. Even against Essendon.

              3. Roarke looked ok except for some fumbles - if he can fix those he will be a player. Fingers crossed.
              2. Boyd is slowly getting there.

                      You're both very handsome. It would be easy enough to do.

                          1. Lachie hunter needs to stop those stupid little smart ass kicks.
                          2. Here is one for those who are into strategy, kick ins; Fletcher Roberts stands about 4m from the opposition player on the mark, and just freakin stands there. He does jack squat at kick ins. At least do something!!!!!
                          3. 15 wins with our highly depleted squad is outstanding, we bat pretty deep. Great to get games into Zaine and Dunkley.

                            Coaching the national swim team might be the only other thing.

                            I was wondering tonight if we had Tony Lockett and Gary Ablett in the forward line they wouldn't get a kick by the time our guys had finished buggerizing around going sideways and backwards and in big triangles only for the ball to end up with the player who had it in the first place. The only difference is he now is that most of the opposition team standing thirty metres in front of him.

                            Whoever is in charge of integrity at Parramatta Eels. That'd be hard.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              Has any single one of his dinky, smart ass kicks worked this year? I don't understand why they happen week in and week out. Surely the coaches review the footage and tell him they don't work well for the team in any way, shape or form.
