Super Saturday my a**. I was so hyped for this Saturday, and saw two beltings and two decent games, but far from anything special.
Richmond were absolute sh*t after quarter time. I am p*ssed off with our effort today. 5 goals in the whole game, 1 after half time. Wet weather or not that is downright pitiful. And losing Gaspar was even more irritating. What is it with us and losing players when the game is lost? We lost Browny in the last quarter when we had no chance in hell of coming back to beat Melbourne, and now Gaspar. It just rubs salt in the wounds. At least they say Gaspar's hamstring injury isn't too serious and it should only be one or maybe two weeks. I so see Tredrea kicking a bag on us next week. No Kellaway and no Gaspar. We're downright stuffed. Our draw is still good though. We still have to play Carlton, Collingwood and Hawthorn which are winnable. Western Bulldogs we can also beat. Being relatively optimistic, if we lose to Port, Geelong and Freo (thats winnable to if we get Gas back) and beat the 4 teams mentioned earlier, that'll still give us 13 wins, which should be enough without percentage being an issue. Still, going to be a tough road.
Port, other than Chad Cornes, were garbage against Geelong. They're done. Even if they do somehow manage to make the 8, they'd only squeeze in in 8th position which would mean an away knock out game, and so I don't reckon they'll make it too far.
Disappointed Brisbane didn't beat West Coast, but at the same time I'm not bothered too much since it helped Richmond out. What the hell has happened to Melbourne though? 4 losses in a row? They were pretty much grand final favourites a month ago with many saying they'd probably beat West Coast at the MCG on the lastday of September. Wow hasn't that changed.
Hopefully some how Adelaide lose tomorrow, unlikely though unless the Doggies play running football for 4 quarters.
