RIGHT. NO MORE POLITICS. PERIOD.

I will not have this descend into political arguments. Anyone - and I mean ANYONE who continues with the Dan Andrews theme can have a holiday.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Fair enough on the politics - I don’t want that either.

But that warrants a temp ban over Premiers and his contributions to the forum??? Seriously?

Agreed, perpetual trolling is ok, but politics are a no no?

Poor skill execution, some difficult injuries and ultimately a lack of desire…. So glad we won in 2020. Bigger and better in 2022. Excited for next year. Go Storm.

Just couldn’t hold the ball to get in any kind of rhythm or build pressure. The antithesis of what our game is based on.

Let’s face it - losing two starting forwards in the opening 15 minutes was an absolute disaster.

It also meant the bench was effectively a fullback and a prop which is just… Not great?

Also, Munster was absolutely horrendous. Some of his kicking in general play was woeful.

Go back to having no idea how to finish off your best set of the entire game after working them 3-4 straight runs up the middle. We had a few good kicks force restarts but geez did it feel like we had no idea on too many 5th tackles.

Yeah agreed on this. So constant trolling is ok but politics not

Meanwhile, I'm still buggered if I know how Nelson's superman try was disallowed.
The Melbourne player had no chance to clear the line because he was tackled without the ball due to a piss poor defensive read. Even if that didn't happen Nelson at full flight dives over to score..... Well done klown

Munster probably needs a good sorting out in the off-season. Dude had as many articles about him and his future than he did good games.

Agreed. Been a bad month for Munny - overall not a great season either. Good but not great.

Spotlight is on him next season.

FYI I wasn't blaming the loss on the Dictator. I was simply stating he's the reason why it wasn't played at AAMI, like it normally would have been. Anyway, bring on 2022. I hope Coates has a stellar year as does that bloke who played for the warriors/Broncos who we have picked up! Good article written about him today in the Herald Sun, how he has turned his life around since playing for the Broncos!! See you all next year!!
