    Now we win more games, are playing finals regularly, it changes the mindset. It could be being older too... not sure, but I'd put it mostly down to the fact that we have team things to celebrate now, not just individual awards.
    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.

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

                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.

                        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
