And vice versa ???? any way, no team has won from 4th for a very long time so I am ~~hoping~~ praying that history will not impact the Dees Don 👍 best luck for next year and fantastic that Doggo copped a jumper 🥊

May be it is said because,Over a 33-year period, 91 percent of all Grand Final winners have finished inside the Top 4. Adelaide in 1997 and 1998 and the Western Bulldogs in 2016 are the only teams to win the flag from outside the Top 4:)

Hi Shane,
As a layman, the episode was horrifying, the commenters also emphasised this at the time, we were all shocked with The 6 minutes, then Ali back on ground, it stinks of greed. If Ali had the SCAT5 then this would not be up for debate, if the AFL is serious about protecting the brain then a please explain is good for all parties. The protocols surrounding head collisions in my and others opinions, need to be updated and then implemented ASAP. 👍

Yep very true, I was on the periphery of one of these fatal attacks, healthy young man with a virus playing squash collapsed and passed, shocking. That was a wonderful explanation of these syndromes, you write well and with authority, thank you Shane.

No nothing wrong with a rant mate, just another one of us with a passion for the game;) now my turn for a rant 😉 I think what is worrying is that certain professions need to be held to a higher Order. And yes in the heat of battle under pressure mistakes are made but this is a game, it’s in the end, past all the fans and entertainment, this in essence was a by decision driven by money, the players were treated as a commodity, unfortunately, it should not of happened. and now it’s time to progress and make sure it never happens again, eg outside adjudication, non prejudicial, independent, may be the answer. As far as public shaming, well it’s fact and gossip is as old as time, backlash can drive change for the better hopefully 🙂 all the best.

Adam, the doctors did not do there jobs, Fisher failed to follow protocol, that’s the point. He has admitted this, failings in duty of care in the medical world is extremely serious and ruinous for people s lives.The risks to Alli where not worth it and never will be, that is why protocols are in in place. To protect the players in the future it now may be prudent to have a independent expert to enforce said protocols on the day.

But this one we will never know if Alli was concussed as no SCAT happened Don, The Medico admitted that he made a mistake in not following the protocols. It is “sickening” that port Adelaide failed in there duty of care to these players. You are wrong on this one Don, please rethink you stance. Port actions and there medicos actions are indefensible. I just hope these men are ok now and in the future.

It was sad to watch.
Port should be ashamed and punished for their disregard for the players health, Fisher admission of his negligence the coaching staff allowing it to happen is mind boggling, surely port should have large crippling sanctions, for bringing the game into disrepute. What clowns, people lives are at stake. Hope the boys are ok for now and into the future.

Fair enough Ace, Grundy not so much, but “maybe” a cameo in the 1s now and then, to relieve Maxx would be nice, I know it must be hard on him to play second fiddle, but the big bucks, his career has commanded would soften the blow I recon. Both of em seem like good blokes and I wish em the best.

Thanks for this article Tim, I must say I agreed with all of it. Dees v tigs yep time May diminish it but definitely one of the most if not the most intense clashing of these two mobs, just awe inspiring. In the dark back alleys of these last games, for me the Tigers are the mob, you lest want to bump into, Dusty and the boys forever treacherous 🙂 so TF that’s over. 😁

Good teams find a way to win, and yep we are very very sneaky, they underestimated our sneakiness’s, sneaking is part of the game mate it’s not like we hide it we even have name for them, small forward. Hence we won and rightfully claimed our deserved points.
