	Log in to remove this sponsored message Says the Melbourne supporter. Collingwood finished 1 win out of the top 4, and 5th overall on percentage. I'd say they're a pretty good side. And as I said earlier, last time St Kilda played Hawthorn (round 16), they beat them. So yes, they can beat a good side. Changing the subject, I'm sick of people putting Brent Harvey into their AA team as a forward. He's a midfielder who occasionally slots into the forward line for a break, much like an Ablett or Goodes. But you've got to ask yourself, is Brent Harvey worthy of a place in the All-Australian midfield? I say yes. Names that are being tossed around in the midfield are Gary Ablett, Jimmy Bartel, Simon Black, Adam Cooney, Chris Judd and Brett Kirk, to name a few. Is Harvey better than any of them? Yes. In terms of 2008 form, he's been better than all but Ablett and possibly Bartel. Surely as the #3 midfielder in the competition he deserves a spot in the AA midfield? -------------------

	I agree, I rekon some of those players are there on past feats, rather than current form tbh. Although, I think it'd be very close between Cooney and Harvey for the #3 spot IMO. ------------------- 'I don't know mercy, but I know pain. Sometimes I share it with the likes of you'

	Cooney was fantastic up until about round 15, then he dropped off the pace a bit. He was still excellent, but I wouldn't put him in the top 5 midfielders from rounds 15-22. Harvey on the other hand has been consistant right through the 2008 season. I can only think of one bad game he had, which was in round 18 against Brisbane. We still won, but Harvey played poorly. Anyway, I still think he's worthy of the title of #3 midfielder in the competition over 2008 form. Ablett's been the standout, Bartel backs him up nicely, then Harvey comes in at 3rd, Hodge in 4th and Cooney/Corey tied for 5th. That's just my opinion though. -------------------

	Why did it suck? Cooney was still playing great, just not as great as he did during the first three quarters of the season. I bet he still racked up loads of SC points. -------------------

	I had Bartel in my SC team. I was going to sell him in round 16, made him my captain instead, singlehandedly won me the premiership ------------------- 'I don't know mercy, but I know pain. Sometimes I share it with the likes of you'

	Good move. I got lazy and kept Ablett in my side, even though he missed several games towards the end of the year. I ended up losing about 300pts a match because of his absence... -------------------

	Well Jonathan Brown was my VC and he was out of form at the time, so neither my captain or VC were scoring large numbers... I got lazy. -------------------

	You know, I had a forward line at the end of the year with the likes of Brown, Roughead and Franklin in it, and yet none of them were my top scoring forward; that honour fell to Quinten Lynch (who was VC behind Bartel). -------------------

CORRECTION: I bought him in round 14 and his sc performances from rd 14 to 22 were 96 68 82 69 71 86 124 123 60 not as much points as i had hoped. should have bought bartel who was cheap as back then... -------------------

	I feel so sad for the Doggies. They tried so hard, they even managed to match Geelong in the first quarter. It's a real shame that they were beaten, but you can't say that it wasn't expected. At least they went down with honour. Good luck next year, Dogs. -------------------

	The game was alright. The Dogs were always just in it which was good. Hanging on by 20 - 30 points made it semi-exciting to watch. They did better than I expected. ------------------- Currently Playing: Demon's Souls (PS3) Latest Review: Kingdom Hearts:Birth By Sleep (PSP) [7.1/10] “A very average addition to a great series"
