In the end Richmond seemed to build up momentum of such magnitude that they simply couldn't be stopped. To go from 13th to premiers has never been done before. One hell of a season at Punt Road.

And one hell of a season for Dusty. A premiership, Brownlow and Norm Smith all in one season...something else that had never been done before.

I was in a pub on Swan St, Rich during the GF...walking on to the street after the GF was like nothing I seen before. The street just flooded with people singing the song....a group all piled up dancing on top of what I assume was a car...couldn't see what it was because just looked like a human prymid. Looked up at the building across the road and people leaning out the windows filming. Walking down the street and any bottleo alone the way had a line up pretty much going from the street.

Port look to have done really well during the current trade period. For pick 31 they have managed to recruit not only Jack Watts but also Tom Rockliff and Steven Motlop.

Out of favour Port ruckman Matthew Lobbe has crossed over to Princes Park.

Stringer to Essendon for picks 25 and 30 which is less than the dogs were hoping for. I reckon the bombers win that trade.

Pleased for Sam Gibson that he has been given a lifeline. His axing at Arden Street looked harsh.

The biggest trade move has seen Gibbs join an already very strong Adelaide.

Well no great shock that Ablett has returned to the Cattery. Reckon he still has a couple of good years left and will now slot in alongside Dangerfield and Selwood.

So what are your thoughts on 'Hannah' Mouncey being banned from playing in the women's league? I care as much about women's football as I do about China's under 12 chess championships but I am surprised they stopped... um... him from playing. I was actually thinking I may have to change my name to Roberta and make a footy comeback if he did get in

It's an interesting one. I can see why 'Hannah' would want to play in the sheila's comp. You stand to earn 35-80k for a months work or so whilst all your travelling expenses etc are paid for. Bear in mind that this is a comp that charges nothing for people to watch it, that charges nothing for tv stations to televise it etc. Not surprisingly the women's league runs at a significant loss and is propped up by revenue from the men's game (same story with soccer and cricket) and yet you get people complaining that the players aren't being paid enough! So money from the men's game is used to run and pay the wages of the female players and yet somehow the outcome is still seen by the left as being sexist! Go figure.

Anyway, as far as 'Hannah' goes, maybe they need a third comp for those who are 'other'. That said the AFL have said they may allow 'Hannah' to play in 2019. I doubt the mega PC AFL will keep 'Hannah' out long term. Anyway, to be honest I really don't care. The truth of the matter is that I care significantly less about the women's comp than I do about the outer Mongolian under 5's knitting championships.

As an aside, female journos complained that they were not being allowed into the male change rooms and so they were given permission to do so even though this was against the wishes of many of the players. At the same time male journos were (and still are) banned from entering the female change-rooms in netball, footy, soccer etc. As always so called 'discrimination' can only ever go one way!

Yep. Men and women are the same... until it disadvantages women (which is almost always in almost everything), at which point women need special treatment in the name of equality - because nothing says equality like being treated differently. I think that is the feminist mantra.

On Hannah (or Harry) yeah, let him play. Watching him 'don't argue' his way from full back to full forward 100 times a game may not be entertaining for the right reasons, but it certainly will be funny.

Too often a (highly selective) 'equal' outcome is seen as proof of equal opportunity when this is very rarely the case.
