    I'm sad to see Shawrey & Goodsey play their last games. But I was there for their farewells.
    I am proud of the boys for their season. There were losses & adversity. But the club & the players stood as one & held their heads high with pride & stood by each other.

    Many supporters will be hurting tonight. The players will be hurting more. There will always be hope for next year.

    I am proud of the boys & the club.

    Thank you for another wonderful ride. Hope there is an extra stop (or two) next year

    Good night RWO
    Well said.

      Heard Rohan had to go to hospital for surgery after his clash with Petrie. Not sure what the exact diagnosis is but there was some serious damage done to his face

        It was a horrible collision, I was quite concerned for him and have been waiting hopefully to see some form of banal social media update from the club to say "he's okay!"
        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

            Gary and Isaac are their own worst enemies through their bravery (or maybe reckless regard for their own safety).
            May they have long careers and look after themselves a little better.

                The comments relating to Dan are harsh, and supporters are very hard to please. He usually has someone grabbing him before he gets the ball. He won the 2015 Coaches Award. You should be regretting your comments in the heat of the moment.

                  Like a lot of people here I am glad this season is over.

                  It has been frustrating to watch and I am sure the same feeling for the players - we have fumbled and staggered through most games and against the top 4 sides mostly struggled except for one great win against the Dawkes early in the season.

                  Jetta turned off the jets early in the year and did not fire up at all. Pyke struggles to get off the ground and cannot ruck out a full game. Plus we now have a number of inexperienced players in the team that will take some time to settle into the team.

                  I think Horse needs to focus 1000% on skills over summer as we have looked pretty bad all year. We need to change our game plan and become more attacking like the Eagles and Bulldogs. Next year with reduced rotations, there will be higher scoring games and we cannot have all players running around the ball like an under 10's game of football.

                  Goodes will be missed but I am glad he has retired as I was disgusted by the loud booing last night by the Norf supporters.

                  Bring on 2016.

                    Jetta and Pyke were both putrid. The sooner Jetta goes and the sooner we get a decent ruckman the better.

                    Jones, whilst young, cost us a huge amount of momentum with that brain fade of a kick across goal. I just don't rate the guy, is a battler but nothing special.

                    Tippett was awesome, finally starting to show why we paid him the big bucks. Goodes is just all class and will leave a huge hole in our team.

                    Onwards to next year. Given we were only missing 4 players of our best 22, time to go out and get some key personnel. Ruckman, young key position forward, key position defender and a small forward.
                    As long as they're cheap! It will be a challenge.

                      Speaking of the AFL and money....I hope they lose a motsa this final series..Their officiating is shameful for a professional sport, the fact that nobody knows what that 50metre penalty was for is just an indication, their random trade bans on Sydney are just laughable, their TV deals and associated commentary teams are a joke, their expansion team in Sydney is a ludicrous money grab and their Victorian Centric attitude is pathetic...for a billion dollar industry, they are just incomprehensibly inept ...
                      The 50 metre penalty was for an interchange infringement. Technically it was there i guess, but it came on the back of a run of overzealous free kicks against us. Knocked on the head any momentum we may have had. Still it wasn't instrumental in our defeat.We did enough to lose it without the outside factors.
                      It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

                        Also we shouldn't forget Reeve Shaw. Although this year has been a challenge for him, previous years have seen him called a star and a mainstay of defence...thanks Reece time to rest the legs.
                        To Jetta the bludger, pike the tortis, hannerbry the butcher, mcglynn and Grundy if he has to keep playing as a backman, I wish you well as you go out our door because that should be the direction you are sent
                        Agree with you're assertions on Jetta and Pyke, maybe McGlynn(always injured), but you're a bit harsh on Hanners and Reg. Reg out the door leaves our defence a bit bare(remember that trade ban!), and Hanners, well he does need to work on his disposal, but that's just silly to show him the door. The AFL coaches certainly disagree with you. As for Goodesy and Shawry, your words are spot on.......and I echo them.

                          I'm hoping that Pyke didn't have time to recover from his knee problems. He needs to get better or he is a goner.

                            Harsh and unfair. I'm disappointed that we lost but you need everything to go right to contend for a premiership and we didn't have that this year. Key injuries during the season and then again at finals time. It's a lot easier for North to muzzle Hannebery when they don't have to worry about Parker and Jack too. Pyke has been giving it his all with a crook knee and McGLynn has been out most of the season. Jetta was a disappointment but he has been one of our most consistent this season, as has Grundy (who just became a father, which might explain an off night - Kennedy has gotten better this season as his baby has gotten older).

                              Are you sure about that?

                              I saw Stevic signalling like a high infringement and the emergency umpire was out running around in the area.
                              No sign of the interchange steward and the orange flag they usually hold up that I could see.

                              If you say it was there I guess you must have seen it. Massive error. Do you know who infringed?

                                I fast forwarded through the replay to see what happened. Heeney grabbed MacMillan around the back collar and flung him aside. Macmillan went down quicker than an Australian PM and just as luck would have it it occurred a split second before Gibson had his shot at goal. Technically there but very much exacerbated by macmillan's falling skills

                                I'm guessing if it was a split second after the behind would have stood and the free kick would have been from where the infringement occurred
