    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.

              4 times in first Q wasnt it? Against collingwood early in year.. i think missing alot early can lose ya the game also.

                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.

                      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.
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        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.
