insurance?
under-rated even by our own.

Birss sould NOT be dropped this week. no chance surely - i'd have him in front of a few - charlie's not impressed me, and there's no way scarlet would be wasted on him. perhaps raph goes forward, birss replaces demster down back - that's if bally and x both come in. if charlie stays then cj's possi...

Good stuff 'the harvey codex'

correct me if i'm wrong but we passed the crows % with a point kicked in the 21st minute (flag got waved in first few seconds of 22nd minute)

has anyone mentioned...
35: 3 + 5 = 08!

1. bj
2. milne
3. lenny
4. gram
5. raph

Geelong won the last one....now it's our turn!!!!

well let's hope that after next week that little curiosity ends!

...and the last four reasons?

bloody saints - i thought i'd see harvey play 4 more times - now only 3 games left - at least they'll all be wins!

we've only won 13 games so far - lets not jump up and down crowing until we get 16 wins!

who was the bald ump? - a few bad decisions against us in vital positions in 3rd quarter - thought it may cost us 4th. The others did well. (plugger66 - it's the 'bad' part i'm complaining about, not the 'against us')

watched with my old man on fox - at start of game i said bj is the best kick in the league - he laughed, but by the end of the game he conceded 'you might be right.'

kicking was close to perfection tonight...shooting sucked though!

Bernard Shakey wrote:What if the Crows had kicked one or two goals in those last five minutes?

Do we play with fear of conceding or play with the belief in scoring?

To my knowledge just ONE team has won a flag playing defensively...ONE!

Also of interest is how many premiers had a low % - any at all?

We'll be 90 up with 5 to go and raise the hands...win the game, suffer no broken fingernails in the last minutes, and sit .01% below the crows in 5th!

Percentage at the end of the year is worth an extra point - the conservative approach has cost us that point. All other conjecture (ooh what if there's an injury... maybe the other team suddenly kicks 5 goals in 5 mins... perhaps we'll have more energy and it'll get us a win next week...) is just pi...

Looking back maybe we should've kept attacking at the end of the games against Freo and crows instead of chipping around wasting the clock.. may have made a fair difference in required winning margin needed tomorrow! That exact point was made in post re booing - but some didn't think playing hard f...

Well at least it shows that we have the most altruistic supporters - happy to throw away the home advantage in a final just to allow an extra 40,000 maniacal pie fans to inspire their team and influence the umps!

All i can say is please scream your loudest those lucky enough to get there!

if we play collingwood as the higher ranked team don't we get the dome as our home ground - or do all rules go out the window when the pies are involved (silly question)? it will be at g if its Pies. The "AFL economic rules" are enforced in that event. bloody afl have us by the short and ...

I want to play the pies at the G. We're not going to win the flag this year,but the next best thing would be knocking Collingwoods season on the head in front of there cretins never say never - recent nt elections remember - incumbents were bigger certainties than geelong - yes they fell in by a ha...

fat lady has sung!
one game done!

looking good - 5th spot is coming - may need to hammer the bombers! can't quite bring myself to cheer freo but c'mon doggies!

is it possible to get one he actually wore - don't care which year or colour (bar yellow), but want long sleeves. don't want it sealed in glass, don't care if it's signed. don't care if it's smeared (actually smeared with genuine harvey vomit or blood is a plus),or faded, or torn - i just want to we...

...and the kids were the ones that brought us over the line... hmm must have missed those games... kids have improved but its been the top order and lately the more experienced players that have won games. agree with saintwal that the biggest and most important gain has been in our confidence (and ...

cousins i'd swap a late first rnd pick for - champions aren't so easily found - get just two good years and he has paid off. compare our last few years 1st rnd picks to his potential. kerr - easily worth a 1st rnd pick using the same rationale. love them both and believe we could manage them both. a...

Does he deserve to be in our current 22?

IMO yes!

Include Ball and X in last weeks side and who misses out? Down to CJ, Birss, Eddy, Raph, Gwilt, and C. Gardiner. I'd go with Gwilt, Birss, CJ and...(nervous twitching... Raph).

If every game was 50/50 (which they aint) then the odds of all 4 coming in would be 16 to 1. If we take our game as won (lets) then it shrinks to 1 in 8. Unfortunately aside from crows vs bullies the other two results are longshots. Think the bookies odds (as always) are pretty spot on - BUT no harm...
