Yeah Peake was hideous both games.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Yeah as much as Collingwood are a sack full of ****knobs they were just completely on a different level and deserved that.

Was the weirdest reaction I've ever seen from a guy after winning a flag. Good on him, though. Much happier to see Collingwood players win the flag than certain Sainters.

Leon Neon getting a medallion is a travesty though.

Was fascinating television watching Bally after the game.

Agreed. Should give it to Prestigiacomo tbh.

Neither played in a ****ing winning grand final team so neither should get one.
22 Premiership players come out of a year not 23. So stupid by the AFL.

Meh, don't agree with the Grand Final day medallion rule anyway. Should be like other sports where if you play a certain amount of games during the year, you qualify if your team goes on to win it.
Mainly for gun players who got their team into the GF, or on top of the ladder, but then went down with injury. Without them the team wouldn't be in the GF perhaps, so they should get a medal.
The argument for Davis getting one was "the 2nd GF couldn't have happened without the first" (to quote Gerard Wheateley), but surely that counts for players who go down in a prelim. Imagine if Hayes (who saved the Saints many times during the season) went down in a prelim. If the Saints somehow won, for mine he's taken he deserves a medal.
Obviously not many would agree with this as its not the AFL culture, but still think it's a better method. Leon Davis not the best example of why this should occur, as he is a unique example of someone so **** in GFs... but Presti would be a good example. McEvoy another (if Saints had won last week).

Mick Malthouse: says in public what everyone says in private about certain tiprats. Gun.

Oh I agree it should be for the 22 on the day, but if anyone from the Pies outside the 22 deserved a medallion, it's Presti, not Leon.

It happens in rugby league as well. In the EPL, it's a minimum of ten games, but I think reserve goalkeepers are usually exempt, but I could very well be wrong.
