West Coast have like 7 players left on its list that havent played this year and im sure we will go very close to having 2 not play a game (mitch brown - knee and Notte - twig)

Carlton really aren't that bad. They could even make finals this year, and definitely next. Adelaide played really good football after quarter time and it wasn't until almost 3/4 time that Carlton dropped away. They rely a bit too much on Fevola and Judd though.

Yeah, we lost but we competed which was great to see. Our second half form really needs addressing though, we just keep on shutting up shop week after week. I haven't been watching as much as I'd like but is it a fitness issue? Our second half stats for the year would make interesting reading. Anyways, we wont make the finals, obv, but we will take down another big name or two before the end of the year and things are definitely looking up. If we can start consistently beating bottom eight sides, I'll be very happy (understatement) but getting ahead of myself even there.

Sydney and the Roos draw (second draw in 2 weeks) and what's more ridiculous, again a player didn't know that it was a draw and celebrated after the siren.

Last week it was Nathan Brown, this week it was Brent Harvey. They look so stupid.

Pleased that Brisbane won today, not so pleased about the number of behinds kicked though or our delivery into the foward 50, which has been pretty dire the last 2 weeks imo. Brown, hasn't been at his best either, but he can't be expected take grabs when the ball is not even close to it's target. The amount of times the ball has dropped short, wide, or over his head is pretty annoying. Good to see Hooper & Corrie playing well though (Y)

Oh, and Simon Black for the Brownlow (H)

If they could count they'd be studying accountancy.

Desperately want Richmond to get up here. Would be especially amusing considering Franklin now has 1.7

 

[Josh]

Ugh!!

Richmond may have lost, but that was a top effort.

Richo is the best wingman in the league. What a ****ing game from the great man.

You a much better team this year but Hawthorn should of won by more

Richo has reinvented himself whilst Deledio is starting to stand up.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Hawthorn 6-0 and 7 right on the tipping.

Doesn't get much better tbh.

 

[mikeW]

Whats everyone rekon the top 4 will be?

For me, it is:

Geelong
Hawthorn
Adelaide
Collingwood

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Geelong
Hawthorn
Sydney
Collingwood

Bit iffy on the Pies and was tempted to put Port up there but I think they'll fall short.

Are you sure they weren't celebrating because they backed the $61 and then realised what they were doing?

Ex-pat Australians aside you must be the only person who has an interest in AFL of some sort in Norway. You certainly are a man of 'firsts'.

Naah, it's on Eurosport 2. Probably attracts a few viewers each week.

Wasn't a good performance at all, but how would most teams go losing 5 or more of there top 10 players?

Ask the 2007 Demons.

 

[superkingdave]

Have to say Sydney are the worst advertisment for AFL you can get. Would almost rather go and watch us lose.

The Hawthorn match was pretty funny, worth the dash accross town to see Franklin have a shocker

 

[mikeW]

Davey out for the season FFS.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Suffahhhhh.
