We were a bloody great team, tough as hell. The best bit though was when we used to punch up Carlton!

I just stepped outside and it's already uncomfortably warm. I'm surprised that more people aren't factoring the weather in this. West Coasts conditioning in the heat of Perth, their far easier run to the Grand Final, and their youth, or at least their A-Grade youth, could be decisive.
To me the previous grand final this most closely resembles is the 2001 Essendon - Brisbane Lions. On another brutally warm day Essendon led at half time by 14 points but you could tell they were physically spent. Hawthorn will need a substantial lead at half time, anything like level pegging and they are probably history.

I feel no shame or reason to bow my head at all. I don't like Adam Goode's actions that led to his recent situation and I don't like the booing. There are faults on both sides imo. It's a pity Adam won't take part but it's his decision. I wonder if he'd do things differently himself with hindsight and will reflect on his own actions at all. It's very disappointing you mention one player as a "white fella" getting a hero's ovation with the inference that an aboriginal player misses out. A shame it's boiled down to race. Both have been great players who've achieved amazing success. Both quite capable of the brilliant as well as the dirty.
The U17's All Aust v Allies is being streamed live on the AFL site ATM for those interested in prospective draftees. Almost Halftime. (*Actually these boys are for the 2016 draft - not eligible for the year.)
Halftime: Allies 40 to ALL Aust 30.
*Looks pretty hot already, the boys are sitting on the ground in the shade for the halftime break.

Well today I learnt that Cyril's a better option up forward than Morris.
Hope Damien was watching or if he was somebody can point tht out to him.
