Official crowd of just over 30k...bit dissappointing after the Rooster fans said they would have a huge turnout...reckon its only 2k more than a Eagles/Dogs GF would have got

well done CDFC...well deserved, however Im predicting this is the end of the era....

it;ll be about time

[Thunderstruck]

Bit of a dust up on the wing Gowans squares the ledger but ouch he is going to cop matches for that

They'll be the best side again next year, can't see why not. Gowans boys going round again. Will end when Slade, Gowans boys go.

I love you James Gowans. Love your honesty. Probably not a good idea king hitting a Gowans!

[JAS]

Congratulations BDP, Dog_ger, smac and all Doggie fans

At this rate we'll need to give you a handicap to give others a chance...how about playing the next one in high heels

Commiserations to JTC, Wedgie, Magic Kiwi, Mrs Dog_ger and all North fans

Regards
JAS

Congratulations Chris Gowans on winning the Jack Oatey medal. I am so jealous right now. I would love to be at the oval watching everything right now.

Dutchy,

I am interested in the reasons for your prediction

Gowans will continue, having a look at the today';s side, not too many players will leave the club, some of our better players still have plenty of years in front of them, Callinan, Hayes, Grima, Obst, O'Sullivan, Lawry, Havelberg.....

lets also remember, this club recruits better than any other, not just fantastic players, but players that play for the jumper and stay at the club for more than a couple of years

we only lost 2 games for the year, and I can't see any other club at the moment in our rear vision mirror

who ever takes our mantle, has a shite load of work to do

Keep writing us off Boys, we will be around for few more years yet

[stampy]

congrats to the cdfc the standout team all year and well deserved, the benchmark of the competition, and aint we sick of it. Geez there's gonna be some tears on this site tonight

[Thunderstruck]

Chris Gowans DEM FIGHTING WORDS!!!! stick around for a few years, keep the wave riding. They'll make the next 2 grannies.

[Hondo]

Well done Doggies, too good today

.... and too good throughout the whole season - they finished 5 or so games clear from 2nd

Can't make a good case for Centrals going backwards next year either. The other teams will just have to get better to catch them

[Dutchy]

Eagles proved last year you are beatable, other teams are getting closer IMO, you will also not see much of Griffen and Symes next year who have been important...Callinan might get another crack at it (would be a better prospect than Allan), your CHB might not be around next year also...other than that its just a feeling Ive got...

James Gowans DISGRACE. No respect coming from here.

[Dutchy]

Just saw the James Gowans incident.....

Simply a dirty ******* disgraceful king hit...you are a disgrace, absolute ******* disgrace.....

6-8 games for mine...

[Hondo]

James Gowans looks like he will miss a chunk of 2008. Very ordinary, deliberate round-arm to the face late in the game. What was he thinking?

[Dutchy]

and to think I had some respect for Gowans boys...

[cennals05]

Just saw the James Gowans incident.....

Simply a dirty f****** disgraceful king hit...you are a disgrace, absolute f****** disgrace.....

6-8 games for mine...

He was giving as good as he got from what the commentators said.

There is no possible way you can defend what he did, if you do your as bad as him, I thought better of you...

[sydney-dog]

last year we had a very poor list

Schell will go on, Gowans have already signed for next year

Agree, Symes and Griffen will play more AFL footy, and Callinan is a chance to be drafted, however every club has these players in this situation

Clubs obviously caught us last year, however, this year, we have streaked ahead again, only two loses for the year, and smashed the second best side in the comp

In the Off season, we will again find a Slattery, Callihan, Lawry or Grima, we recruit better than any other club

Was he king hit when he wasn't looking because that's what would be needed to be giving 'as good as he got'?
