    Bob Skilton medal for me - Dane Rampe.
    Ronke won't be delisted - he's got a contract.

    I'd love to see Ramps win the B&F. He's had a great year and nobody else stands out especially. Better Ramps than Lloyd.

    Rising Star will be a tussle between Dawson and Blakey. I'd give it to Dawson if he's eligible. They are both wonderful.

    Best clubman??

    Yes, Rampe is definitely my favourite for the Bob Skilton. And Kennedy and Parker were great in awaking us from our slumber, Hewett, also.

    Wish I could of been there! But what a bludy magnificent way to send out our champions - bravo Kizza, Macca, Reg and Nick - thankyou for all the joy you have bought to us!

    So glad we lifted in the 3rd and 4th and got the job done - a win was the very least the champions retiring toda

    And I'll finish with - despite a tough old season, this year has reminded me just how much I love our footy club

    Cheer Cheer!

    Yes, it was an emotional ending, what with Macca and Kizza both grabbing final quarter goals. And the parade of retiring premiership champions after full time.

    Yes, but it is strange that our season has finished in August. I'm not really used to that. But hey, maybe our reserves can win a final or two, and give me further optimism for next year. I'm already feeling pretty optimistic.

    Likewise ! Was a a perfect celebration for our retiring champions and our milestone superstar ! A packed SCG too which I don’t think we’ve seen all year.

    A long way to go to get back into premiership contention, but there are a lot of young guys in our team that could become genuinely very good footballers. The ingredients are there, and there will be pain to come no doubt - but I don't think it will be long lasting. How many teams will probably finish 15th with a percentage of 97.7%. Another year we would of nabbed 4 or 5 of the close ones and played finals football. Fill some of the obvious gaps and we are on the right track.

    What a great last quarter. McVeigh and Jack kicked a goal and Buddy was able to add to his tally. I loved the celebrations after the goals!

    So much emotion after the game. Loved the exchanges between Hanners and our players as well as with Longmire.

    It was funny how Grundy didn't want to be carried off. I was worried that Reid and Aliir were going to drop Buddy!

    It's a strange feeling that our season is over before the finals. I guess we will start hearing about list changes once they complete the reviews. And we'll probably find out about Jones and Papley.

    Loved that Hanners chaired one of our retiring players off. But Macca looked like his heart was broken.

    So glad Jack got a last goal. I didn't think he would get a chance. I remember the checkside snap he did against Richmond in about 2016/17 that put us in front after being 5 down at half time.

    Great guts from him as always. LOL have to say I like his brother's notes in The Age/SMH too.

    Congrats to all our retirees.
