Still giving us nothing...'cept Cups and Medals

Dunstall always gives us credit.Even said last year when people said we got 4 or 5 guns and the rest role players he said that's incorrect and way of the mark.

It wasn’t til the finals that we started to get an EVEN go. Let’s hope it happens again.

Correct; funny about that isn't it? Hope so too, but very sceptical, especially if we play Ed and Bucky's mob or Egobourne.
 
Went back and re-read this from The Age, 7 March 2018 (feels like only yesterday the disrespect had started...)

Not one expert tipped Richmond to finish first. The Age experts can suck it.

No real surprise given that they couldn't even get Dusty into the top 3 of the player of the year voting in 2017 :rofl

Yep. Reckon they really got west coast, Collingwood, Essendon and Adelaide wrong.
 
There’s a serious lack of talent and personality down at The Age now that RoCo has left.

Michael Gleeson is a charisma free zone, I just can’t engage with his writing.
 
Jack Graham, third best pressure player in the COMP, 3 goals, 20 disposals and a fistful of tackles.... no rising star nom.

Understand he can't win, but can still be nominated.

He should have been nominated round 1 on the back of his GF performance alone!

How many kids with less than 10 games do what he did in a GF?

3 goals and throws a blanket over the opposition's best mid!

WOFTAM. Can't win so why would the AFL spend the time and money nominating him n then having to pay for him n family to attend the fancy luncheon for the awards. Kids got a serious dingly dangly n might just double up in a few weeks. I'm sure he wouldn't waste 30 seconds contemplating a rising star award.
 
Dennis Pagan says the Tigers are getting ahead of themselves and West Coast will win the flag. Good on ya.

After finishing on top as reigning premiers the disrespect currently being shown to us is amazing. Haven’t really seen anything like it to be honest. Hope we ramp it up and smash all the pretenders this September.

Think Pagan's comments showed why he isn't coaching anymore. Very much yesterday's man.

would really love to flog Hawthorn just to show the league who is king and that our throne is not about to be abdicated any time soon.

Reckon what he's saying is fair enough. He had North in seven straight prelims and knows how hard it is to back up a flag. He didn't say we can't win, just that West Coast is his choice for the flag. He thinks we'll beat Hawthorn.

How many times has the minor premier gone on to win the premiership?

From memory the numbers aren't that great.

considering first and second have exactly the same advantage under the final 8 system, it comes as no surprise that they are equal... compared to the old final 5 and final 4.
