		<description><![CDATA[Loyalty: &#8220;The act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action&#8221;. It&#8217;s a word that&#8217;s bandied around a lot in sporting circles, with clubs frequently &#8216;tugging at players &#38; supporters heartstrings&#8217;.

One goal to three-quarter time, just five for the game, and a 116-point flogging to think about on the long trip back to Perth. However, as has been established multiple times over the last two days, the game was never going to be an even [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=finalsiren.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9086008&amp;post=473&amp;subd=finalsiren&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Number 2: The way Chapman, Steve Johnson, and Joel Selwood are playing, even if Gary Ablett joins the Gold Coast, they&#8217;ll still be VERY hard to beat.

Following a 32-point loss to the Eagles in Melbourne, led by Mark LeCras’ astonishing 12-goal onslaught, the message was simple: Matthew [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=finalsiren.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9086008&amp;post=465&amp;subd=finalsiren&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
