Credit to the Dogs, they have been in great form recently, and deserved to win a final or two, they were just out played.

Go Hawks! Bring on Port!

Just why did Essendon get rid of D'ambrosio?!

Massimo D'Ambrosio finals wins: 1
Essendon finals wins in the last 20 years: 0

(Couldn't resist, sorry).

Brad Scott doesn’t like blooding youngsters (least amount of debuts-3 since 2023 (as of end of July 2024)) and the Bombers have featured amongst the 2-6 teams to use the least amount of players in both 2023 and 2024 which is counter intuitive for a staunch non resultist. Better directed to a Bombers supporter or closer follower as I pay little interest but the impression seems to be the more experienced/senior players have plenty of free passes to use whereas those less experienced are on a shorter leash and thus pointless to stay with a lack of job security or opportunities, if receiving offers elsewhere.

Do people want Quarter by Quarter scores or just the Final Scores , both i can do

Congrats on the Hawks win now for Brisbane to do the same and we'll all be happy ( Sorry Jim )

Enjoying watching Errol warm up with a soccer ball before they start. Hope he has as much control today with footy as he does the round ball, as he is taking the proverbial just having a muck around.

It makes me feel sick. One could easily tell from his first few games he had a beautiful kick and the makings to become a quality player...

Hopefully this game continues to be a beauty after two one sided contests to start the finals.

I agree. I quite liked what I saw at times last season. You'd thought he was worth persevering with, over some of that 26-27yo near deadwood you have!!!

While at times through the year he can look sloppy by hand and foot, slow and even verging on disinterested, Tom Green knows how to stand up in a final!

finished last season with a BANG!
Just needs to find some consistency, to become a top level gun!
