Great game

Glad Carlton got dumped.

Warnock is a spud.

So is Mr Potato Head.

I've gotta say one thing I'm actually really liking is the effect that the internchange cap is having on games of football.

I'm loving that players are being forced to dig deep in the last quarter to get their team over the line, it's almost taking the game back to pre-2000 and I'm all for it.

Some would argue that the skills and quality drop off, but personally I think watching a player and/or team drag themselves off the canvas to grab a last gasp victory is one of the greatest spectacles in footy.

Couldn't agree more Ginge.

This +1

Bloody good isn't it?

I barely watch last night's game until the last quarter - but what a cracking finish! Yea it wasn't pretty - but that's the beauty of it.

Hope we see a lot more of it. The last quarter of tomorrow's game has every chance of being like that I reckon.

The other good thing about it is that by the last quarter the players are too rooted to actually enforce the crappy tactics like zone defences that have made the game a bit of a snore fest over the last few years.

It just comes down to strength (physical and mental) and stamina. Super stuff.
