We should sticky this thread, if only for the memories...
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

"I don't normally buy into these sorts of things, and wisdom in hindsight is a wonderful thing, but this really DOES seem significant. And after reading @KonradMarshall's book it makes even more sense. Tigers nailed everything in 2017, even down to just enjoying the moment." - Rohan Connolly.

Credit to Johnno77 on BigFooty for sharing his observation on this. Look at how different both these team photos are just moments before the Grand Final started. Zoom in. A picture really does tell 1,000 words. The joy and happiness on our players faces sums up our entire year."

He made sure it was all about him too by making everyone else wait for him to turn up for the coin toss.

The only time he turned up on GF day  :snidegrin.

I reckon Pyke and Tex are sitting in each others seats.

In our team photo, there are 4 players either side of Dimma. The Crows have 3 on one side and 5 on the other of Pyke.

They were clearly becoming unbalanced before the game :)

Exhibit B:

@Adelaide_FC players are walking away from the controversial 'Collective Mind' program, which has been blamed in part for their fall from grace.

What to do on bye weekend ?? - watch the GF again of course. Still cry like a baby when Benny G gets all emotional.

Some absolute garbage in the media today

Grant Thomas stated that this is the worst group of premiership players he's ever seen

and some stufstuffnuckle croweater journo Jai something had a massive crack at us in the heraldsun

Should we ask Thomo if the Saints are the best group to win a wooden spoon at the end of this season?
