Bernie Quinlan’s second ton for Fitzroy.
I tweeted several months ago they may as well cancel the rest of the AFL season (after round 13) and move straight to the grand final between St Kilda and Geelong.
They were by far the two best teams all year and today contested a worthy grand final, with the Cats triumphant.
I’m not too sentimental about St Kilda missing a flag, which would have been just their second and their first since 1966.
Geelong deserve their success.
Good to see St Kilda defeat Hawthorn with half their best side not playing.
It will be a fantastic achievement if they can finish the season undefeated. I’m hoping they can make it.
Michael played soccer in the rain and mud this afternoon. He came home looking like a monster from the deep.
I heard on the radio that North Melbourne and Hawthorn were playing in heavy rain at Launceston.
You don’t see or hear of many AFL games in the rain these days.
I remember when most of the Melbourne grounds were mud heaps in July and August.
The grand final is over and Hawthorn won. They were the better team on the day.
Geelong will regret losing that grand final more than any other team I can think of since Collingwood in 1970.
It’s so hard to build a champion team and the window of premiership opportunity is maybe three or four years.
The Cats fluffed it and next year may be their last chance.
Like everyone else in Australia south of Sydney, I have an opinion on who will win the AFL grand final.
I hope Geelong wins and I’m pretty sure they will. Margin: 34 points.
How is it possible that Jonathan Brown was not selected at centre half forward in the All Australian team?
Riewoldt is flaky. I know who I would want next to me in the trenches.
It’s great that Michael Voss has been appointed coach of the Lions. With Jonathan Brown as undisputed captain the leadership group looks more stable and powerful.
2009 is already shaping as a better year for the Lions.
Footscray supporters are more likely to notice the advertisements on shopping trolleys. I didn’t even know there were ads on shopping trolleys and I didn’t know that Footscray supporters could read, let alone afford to shop!
Perhaps they notice the ads while they’re dumping trolleys into the Maribyrnong River.
