      After the final siren against GWS, Chris Grant turned to Bob, gave him a hug and said two words "We're there".

      That gave me tingles.

            Lucky to have him as a player, and as a club champion and wonderful person.

              Gil Mac just describing the AFL Giants as a 25 year team before they get to be one of the biggest teams... what a barefaced liar. He will do everything to ensure they win it before too long.

              But it won't be this year. IT WON'T BE THIS YEAR!!!!!

                I absolutely have contempt for privileged knobs who, without any hint of self-consciousness, blatantly lie to the football public. Twenty-five years - what tosh. If the AEFL can't get them a flag within 10 it will be considered a gross fail.

                      Michael Cordell, who was the producer of The Year Of The Dog has contacted me to ask if anyone has contacts details for Pat or Jenny.
                      He would like to speak to them.

                        He's saying that it'll 25 years before they're one of the BIGGEST clubs, i.e. members, attendances, revenue etc, not success in terms of premierships.

                        Ensuring GWS wins 6-7 flags in that time will be a key pillar in helping them become one of the biggest clubs in 25 years time. What they're too blind to see is that it'll be an easier task than they realise, because handing them flag after flag will reduce interest in the league as a whole, meaning GWS will have to grow a lot less than they think to become one of the biggest clubs.

                          Eddie has come out and said Giants should be excluded from the draft for the next two years and it will be good for footy.

                              I'd enjoy it but it won't happen.

                              He did say they'd have access to their academy picks though so it's not as rough as it sounds. Still probably plenty of quality coming in.
