Hawthorn will probably make the GF.

Topped off by Massimo winning the Norm Smith medal!

[bltn]

C’mon Walla.

What do we need with a good kick of the pigskin ?

[Walla]

Exactly, we can always rely on the skilful Harrison Jones returning to his natural position on a wing!

[StealthBomber]

Fark Hawthorn. Fark them forever. Fark them for never having to ever rebuild. Fark them for hitting on every draft pick. Fark Sam Mitchell. Fark Campbell Brown. Fark Dipper. Fark all of them to hell.

[Coastalpipeline]

Freo are still ■■■■ @ winning finals

[rossoneri]

Crows at the MCG. Will be a bloodbath

Yer, I’d expect the Hawks to have the advantage.

Crows will still be dangerous as playing the extra game might be beneficial for them.

Obviously I’m forecasting a number of results, but I think they’ll just slide over the Dogs, then take Swans comfortably.

They may be a different proposition coming into a Prelim with some confidence.

I saw someone suggest the kid from Hawthorn was one of the top five small forwards of all time!

The Crows have two better than him right now.

Edit: And there’s a current ex-Crow they might come across that’s way better, too.

I don’t mind a hot take but that was pretty…pretty stupid.

[premature_rookie_ele]

What odds were the hawks paying last night? I’m an anti gambling guy, but I had the guttiest of gut feelings that the dawks would get it done. Ffs I hate them so much.

afl is so equal, its great

5 years ago under Rutten

And just 3 years ago

Instead of ■■■■■■■ and moaning about an equal comp perhaps we should invest some energy to learning about how successful clubs are run

Brisbane will probably bottom out, win a spoon, rebuild and still win another flag or 2 before we scrape up a single finals win.
How can nearly every other comp in the land rebuild so successfully, so often?
Club needs to have a good hard look at how it operates

[RockyIV]

Fremantle might be the worst minor premier since 2025.

You realise it is Blitz that ■■■■■■ and moans about this, not the club?

You also realise the club has been investing in investigation about how successful clubs are run and certain people on here are ■■■■■■■ and moaning about us doing that right?

[Aceman]

The club is run by absolute morons and has been for a long time. It’s so friggin draining watching clubs turn it around in a couple of years whilst we just flounder around in circles. It’s so demoralising

@westozziebomber

You spelt VOSS wrong

You spelt ASSIST OF THE YEAR wrong

What more do you want them to do than what they have already started doing?
It’s not like they aren’t changing things.

How about we wait and see if this lot have completed the changes and if we start going up the ladder?
Until then we have zero idea if they are right or not. But you can’t sit there and say they are not trying. Otherwise you (plural) are just one of the ■■■■■■■ and moaning types.

[dingus]

@IceTemple

Definitely not

I’d say they are incredibly trying.
