You’d reckon if transfer papers were on his manager’s desk he would have declined that post game interview.

Wilson in is like having an extra player on the field.

It’s a no from me too. (OK training jumper)

Gresham and Billings on the other hand...

Enjoyed Ben Long's role in the Sun's win versus Esseddon tonight, a player I'd reckon Ross Lyon would like, but alas... great to see him going good though

I don't expect us to make finals.. I do. It's a long season and we are only three games out of the eight. You want to be coming into form the other end anyway. Our injury list is nothing like it has been for past 18 months and other clubs are copping their fair whack. And our players pilloried to p...

King's holding free kick is all over sports media with commentary that there was no free kick and that it should have been play on. They have a point as the umpires would never reward a free like that to someone like Charlie Curnow and the media would be all over it if they did...

True. AFL is now a different game year after year. (Historical player records have also become meaningless.)

As long as the beer is cold we'll be ok.

That was rather astonishing!

Far out.

Fair enough

I remember early days of Nigel Smart. Looked awkward, like a baby giraffe, terrible kick at goal and couldn't pass. I made a derogative comment about him an my older pies supporter brother-in-law just looked at me, put on his sage footy eyes and said, nah he will go alright. He could see the potenti...

After last week's shite I actually tipped Weagles fir this gane. They were always going to come back hard at home after that drubbing. $1.05 was ridiculous not sure how we could be odds on favourites afer the past month. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Saints wrangle it back not least because ...

5 Hill (critical 1%ers that kept us in the game plus several elite pin point passes)
4 Crouch (pressure acts/tackles)
3 Owens (nailed what needed to through big sticks)
2 Wood (getting back to the Wood we knew early rounds)
1 Marshall (good to see clunking defensive intercepts)

Just dour and defensive now as opposed to exciting and daring.

The transition from the Ratten game plan to Lyons?
(ducks for cover)

Yep

Playing like a bunch of spuds. I think they have taken the theme too literally.

An AFL club playing ducks and drakes with the media? WOW!!!!

Agreed

For mine I see too many blind kicks out of trouble or into the fwd 50 from senior players. I wont mention names but one senior player who is not one of the repeat offenders (of whom we have several) made it really obvious kicking the ball from the defensive 50 and only after the ball left his boot t...

For the statisticians:
Howard v Richmond
14 disposals
85% efficiency (Second highest efficiency stat for the game after Rioli)
Gresh 31%
Stocker 46%
Marshall 47%
NWM 50%
Ross 52%
Higgins 54%
Wood 55%

Never see big forwards like Tom Hawkins, Jack Riewoldt, Buddy Franklin, Taylor Walker etc playing for a free... oh wait...

(The misery head flop a different issue, don't like it either, but I think runs in the family)

This will be a belter of a game to win more so if the filth beat Melbourne.
