No defence in this St Kilda v Carlton preseason game. 13 goals to 9 and it's only half-time and as many centrebounces as around the ground stoppages.
LOL Saints supporters txting SEN that they're going to win the flag :laugh:.
-
Sheesh Norf are bad even for a preseason match. Wooden spoon favourites :yep ;D.
-
Looks like Cam Raynor has done his ACL. Feel for the kid
Huge loss for the Lions
-
The Pies are heading for bottom 4 if tonight is what they will dish up all year :lol. No forward line to kick a winning score and U10s skills. A longer game and again they couldn't reach 10 goals. They have really stuffed up their list thanks to overpaying their players. Grundy got the bronx jeers late in the game from Pies supporters.
The Dogs will play finals but the issue for them is also in their forward line due to a lack of a quality big marking key forward. Bruce hasn't been reliable in front of goal.
As for tonight's game itself, I'm biased but I thought our game last night was a much faster and higher standard.

Crap if we finish above the cats mid season does that mean we can’t get Rance?

It's been a top start to the season so far :thumbsup.
We beat Carlton :thumbsup.
Collingwood look a bottom 4 side :yep.
Geelong lost to the reigning wooden spooners :rollin.
Brisbane lost at home. Thanks Swannies!
Essendon choked from 40 pts up :rollin.

Okay granted it's from Tom Browne but he just said the AFL will class Dangerfield's bump as "severe" given Kelly copped a broken nose. So that's a minimum of 3 week suspension.

Dangerfield sent straight to the tribunal.
MRO rated the bump careless, severe & high.

It's amazing how many players seem to come out concussed from a collisions with Dangerfield but he rarely gets suspended.

He did ok. But his first 3 disposals were direct turnovers.
On the other hand Jack Bowes had 30 disposals (28 kicks) at 100% efficiency
When is he coming to punt road? :rollin

Speaking on Monday, Dangerfield said he didn’t think, at the time, there was another option.
“I think it’s easy to review something at 30 frames per second. I think as much as you have a [duty of care] to look after the health and safety of others around you, you’ve got to look after yourself as well. But who knows, we’ll find out when we do,” Dangerfield said.

You don’t have to slow it down to see Dangerfield clearly moved off his line and dropped his shoulder.
He had both time to either side step or tackle, he went with the decision to bump early and had no other option to commit to it.

The bold part is interesting looking back at last year's GF when Floss was knocked out by Danger's raised arm as they collided.

Good. Damned sniper.
Now watch all the cats fans complain that the MRO/tribunal uses them to make examples, because Hawkins should be allowed to elbow people in the neck and Gary to punch people like Miles in their face.

Absolutely deserved for his elbow to grimes and he also jumped off the ground a bit to bump.

The down the ground vision of the incident looks even worse. Dangerfield had no intention other than to charge at from a distance and bump Kelly. No surprise he copped 3 weeks.

Clear holding the ball as Blicavs tried to dodge first.
Having said that the Lions only have themselves to blame as they missed sitters in the first half. Then add Zorko's brainfade with 3 minutes to go when they had Geelong trapped inside their (Brisbane's) F50. Gave away a stupid 50 which lead to Smith's winning goal.
As much as seeing Geelong choke again would've been hilarious, maybe we'll look back on this later on in the year as a better result for us. Makes it harder for Brisbane to finish top 2 and get a home prelim.

Worst non decision in modern footy history
Who was the umpire? I doubt he will be officiating next week.

Not sanctioned? Free kick anyone on the ground could see but him and it Cost a team 4 points and this bozo isn’t getting sanctioned? :rollin

0 goals and 8 possessions from butler tonight. And the commentators of 2020 suggested we sell the farm to keep him.

Freo destroying the Giants. Leon Cameron may not see out the year as coach at this rate.

Flat game tonight. Brisbane lucky they aren't playing a top side and are only 8 pts down at half-time.

The combined football IQ of that team would barely reach double figures.
How can you let them have half a dozen players in their own in the middle of the ground with 20 seconds left? Dumb, lazy footballers
Also just proves how overrated ruckmen are, why spend millions on a ruck when a pair of rookies is good enough?
Weak as pee. Dumb as dog poo coach and a bus full of idiotic passengers. We are third rate at best.
Gutless and pathetic. So many passengers in this team. I just can't understand what this team stands for. We're like a deer in the headlights, can't close out games, just do everything wrong. That was just utter garbage. Not unlike the 2018 GF right there. Just a long slow bleed out.
C. Brown and WHE can just gtfo now.
How many hit outs did we have. And how beneficial was our million dollar boy.
The coach has had 10 years to get his brand in the player's head. He's failed! And he keeps picking the same spuds week after week.
The Buck stops with him for our pathetic recruiting. The only team this year not to add talent in the trade period, but to give it away. Walk away NOW Buckley!
Has de Goey got a vote yet? There was a puff piece in the Age a week or so ago comparing himself with Dusty. Must have been Slim Dusty - the dead one.

There's something about a good old fashioned Collingwood choke that just makes it all worth it! :santa :lol

What winning 3 flags in 4 years does.
While a Pies fan last night was going ape at the umps as they walked off the ground and then was taken away by security, a happy with life Tigers supporter waves his Tiger badge on his polo at the camera :snidegrin.

21 goal thrashing. The Dogs' percentage just jumped from 115% up to 181%.
Opposition supporters mock our flag last year for 2020 only having 17 rounds but in terms of playing each side once it was fairer.
The Bulldogs this year get to play Norf twice and boost their % before we even play the Roos once.
-
Western Bulldogs vs Richmond on Good Fridays. Norf dont deserve nuffin.

When you allow Josh Bruce to kick 10 then you know you're really really really crap!

Must be the day for upsets. Bombers 6 goals up on the Saints.
Butler hasn't touched the ball and it's midway through the 2nd qtr.
-
Essendon up 78-29 on the Saints at half-time.
Higgins 4 touches
Butler 1
-
Saints looking like a rabble and Essendon world beaters 5 minutes into the 3rd. Up by 56 points :gobdrop
-
Dons won by 75 pts :o.
Port (who we play next) got jumped by the Eagles. Power down by 27 at 1/4 time.
-
Today is a day of one-sided games. Eagles flogging Port by 52 pts at half-time.
-
Ruining my tips.
Surely not many people will get more than 6 this week
-
Handbaggers saved by the umps again...... :facepalm
-
Cats also saved by young inexperienced Hawks kicking backwards and missing simple targets. Hawthorn had 3 chances to break out of their D50 in the last 2 mins and butchered them all by foot keeping the ball in Geelong's F50.
At least being a close game kept Geelong below us on the ladder.
-
Cox is going to be a superstar....shame it'll be for the Bumblers...Swanettes probably lucky to get away with that one...too bad the new you beaut "tiger tamer" game plan isn't really all that suited their own ground... :shh

Frees 29-16 in Sydney's favour again. Bomber fans going nuts over Mollison and his alleged 16-1 free kick count in favour of the Swans lol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Mollison
On the actual game, Essendon actually hindered the Swans short kicking game. Whether that was due to the smaller SCG as you said Dio or the Dons applying more pressure and pressing up, Dimma would've taken notes for next time.
-
3 games so far and 3 lopsided free kick counts. Must be the round for it :P.
Brisbane 1-3 and just 1 point off being 0-4. Whether it's due to the late finish to 2020 and a lack of a normal preseason preparation, the top 6 of last year have been off. We've been all over the place in the first 4 rounds; the Cats are lucky they aren't winless, Port's easy kills over North & Ess inflate their 3-1 record and they needed the umps to beat us at home by just 2 points; while Saints & Pies have all had poor starts to the season. It's the mid-tier teams of last year that have started well in 2021 - Dogs, Swans, Dees & Eagles.
-
Great - now he Aints are up & about... :shh

Scrub out the Weagles. Shown up again today as pretenders who can't win away from Perth against any decent opposition. What a massive choke! 33 points up in the 3rd and cruising then crack and allow the Saints to pile on the last 8 goals of the game.
-
Colliwobbles lose again :rollin.
Pie forum in meltdown wanting Buckley gone.
https://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=88636
FIGJAM no Premiership as a player. And none as a coach. 25 years at the club and no Premiership. A quarter of a century and no Premiership. Think about that for a moment. Do you reckon this obsession with him has to end at some stage? I mean, isn’t it insane we continue persisting?
What a sad pitiful spectacle Collingwood has become.
The blind faith of so many of you in McGuire, Buckley et al means you are now left with a soulless corporate brand devoid of meaning.
It stands for nothing.
The Club will struggle to survive this. It is going to get much, much worse.
It is a vanity project for one man who is completely deluded.
Clarkson won't go near the joint. It's rubbish and he knows it.
-
The Dees have knocked off the Cats and play the Hawks next week. They will be 5-0 when we play them on Anzac Eve. So all the range rovers, thermoses, cheese platters and blankets won't be up at the snow yet. It's going to be max. capacity at the 'G.
The Norf vs Adelaide game should have had the Benny Hill soundtrack. Norf did try but they are just bad bad baaaaaaaaaaad! :lol Says how poor the Crows were that Norf was in front at 3/4 time :o.
-
Pies are totally stuffed ;D. 1-4 and now have lost De Goey, Howe & Mihocek. Buckley's demeanour is of a coach who knows it's his last year. I wonder if Eddie still doesn't think it's a debacle :snidegrin.
-
Dogs 9 goals to zip against the Suns. Gold Coast are terrible but in any case let's hope the Dogs have peaked too early.
-
Order has been restored
We win
Blues reality check. Pies and dons pathetic
-
Costly win for the Dogs. Dunkley could be gone for the year with that shoulder and English was knocked out via friendly fire. So they won't have either for our game next week.

Sam Taylor out of contract at the end of next year........:pray

Just watching Melb V Syd from the G tonight, disgusted at the way both sides play for free kicks! The umpires have been pretty good at denying 90% of the appeals but inevitably they get one wrong near goals & somebody scores from it.
Hardwick potted Sydney for constantly playing for frees & he was spot on right, this has to stop now. Melbourne aren't much better either.
Papley & Floreant are both good players but the way they play for frees is just a disgrace! :thumbsdown

The one I hate is the shoulder dip to draw high contact.
AFL should ignore it to protect the head.

What is totally peeing me off is that we can't get a free kick for the most blatant things (Selwood on Mansell, etc) while other sides do nothing but play for frees & the umps reward them for it! :banghead
-
Massive choke by the Blues. 27 pts up late in the 3rd qtr and then give 8 goals straight to lose by 16 :lol.
Keeps us in the top 8 at least even if we're now a game and % outside the top 4 :-\.
-
Saints should be 4 goals up from the chances they've had. Missed about 6 gettable shots. No wonder they've kicked 0.7.
-
Did the Cats play their GF last week against us or will they kick into gear in the second half again?! Saints have been all over them and should be 6 goals up.
-
Cats played their Granny last week. Saints lost the game last night rather than Geelong winning it. King's confidence in front of the sticks was shot but he wasn't the only one.
Next time we play Geelong, we need to play two rucks (Marshall going down changed the midfield dominance St Kilda had last night) as well as bring proper tackling pressure so the Cats don't easily break out the front of contests into space :banghead.
.... Oh and kick straight. We can't laugh too much at the Saints as they mentioned on the TV coverage that our goalkicking this year has been in the bottom two for accuracy below St Kilda.
-
Hawthorn lost to North :lol.
Pies one goal after quarter time :lol.
-
Great - now the Camry's will be up & about.... :shh

Huge week for us if Sydney hang on against freo
St Kilda lost
Just need GWS to get best and it’s Christmas
Top 8 will be settled if West Coast do the business

A coach killer by the Saints tonight. 39 shots to 8 lol.
ps. Butler this year is back to the 'efforts' that saw him traded by us for a pack of chicken flavoured twisties.
-
Huge week for us if Sydney hang on against freo
Freo won by 2 pts. Fyfe kicked the winner with a minute to go. We're still 8th on percentage above them.

So Carlton are playing eagles in Sydney.
They apparently had a choice. Honestly can the AFL be any more corrupt? Bet we won't ever get a choice. :shh
-
The Eagles are stuffed. More injuries tonight to Tim Kelly and Oscar Allen and they've coughed up a 5 goal lead at home to Essendon.
ps. Credit where it's due to the umps at Optus tonight. Normally the umps over there would've carried the Weagles over the line. I bet we won't get such an unbiased display in Perth as we don't get it at home either ::).

There was a rumour going around yesterday that we were given the 'choice' of Adelaide or Sydney so we obviously chose Sydney. If we really had a choice we would've chosen Metricon.
-
massive game tomorrow.
win and we are one game and % from top 4
-
So true, Frankie. A win tonight keeps us in the hunt for a top 4 spot :pray.
On last night's game, Melbourne's second half was reminiscent of our comeback wins in the 2019 PF and 2020 GF. Right now they are the side to beat as they've knocked over all the other top sides comfortably. The next 4 months will see whether or not they have peaked too early like we did in 2018. Hopefully, we're there when it matters later on in the year to take them on and close enough to full strength unlike when we played them on Anzac Eve.
As for the MRO, let's see if Sparrow is treated the same way as Pickett was. Sparrow ran past the ball and collected Daniel Rich with a high bump. Wayne Carey said since Rich carried on playing afterwards then Sparrow will have nothing to worry about as “we don’t penalise the act, we penalise the outcome”. Ummm .... that rule didn't apply to Pickett.
-
Saints have come back within a kick at HT. Another good result for us if the Swans were to get beaten.

Whole competition are hoping we lose and dees win.
Brad Shepherd another out for next week. Concussion.
-
There's no surprise anymore with the MRO. As always consistently inconsistent :P.
Liam Ryan went off with what looked like a hammy at the time but he said he was okay. Seems to be managing his hammies as he said post-game he had to watch himself late in quarters.
As for Carlton, geez they are still crap! :lol Up against a West Coast B side on a ground the Eagles hadn't won at in 22 years and still lost :rollin.

Geelong playing ten 30+ y.o. players tonight. First time that's happened in VFL/AFL history.

Hawks smashing the Swans :o.
Good result for us. Now up to us to make the most of it. We can potentially jump up to sixth if we win on Sunday night.
-
The bonus was the Swans percentage took a hit on top of their loss. We're now a game and only 2% behind. A win on Sunday night :pray should see us leapfrog above them on the ladder.
-
LOL Aints
Another team that just keeps on giving :lol
-
Only St Kilda :rollin.
Have the first 11 scoring shots to be 6 goals up and then lose with one minute to go to a team that didn't score anything until half way through the 2nd quarter :lol.

Saints forum in meltdown :laugh:
Oh St Kilda. Games like this make you want to chuck the whole thing in.
What the hell is the point of following this disaster of a club? Why do I do this?
Enjoy the break Saints.
You've teally earned ot tonight!
Id say Unbelievable.....but unfortunately...it is completely believable
Words fail me.......what the f*** is wrong with this club!!!!!
Battle, Lonie, Coffield, Butler in particular, hang your heads in shame, just witches hats tonight and that's being unfair to witches hats.....I'm done!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhah
I cant stop laughing
How do we lose lose that
I don't give a f*** about this lot for the rest of the season
Thank f*** Italy looking good in the European cup.
This is what it's come to ⛷⛷⛷⛷⛷⛷
Physically soul crushing.
I tell ya. It’s much better when you stop giving a s***. I have and honestly, I seriously don’t care if they lose. In fact in the last qtr I was willing Adelaide to win.
Simply because I don’t want any more half arsed, lame,,pee poor wins that cover up just what a farkin shambles of a club we are.
Root and branch changes required. Until then they can f*** off.
Maybe we'll get another 'keep up the good work fellas' message from the President, the CEO will clap on about some theme round, Roughhead will continue his 'yeh-nahs' and the 'Sounds of the Saints' podcast will spin out more of the same.
I don't think the club gets it. We have become a laughing stock.
A total and utter laughing stock. The competition is genuinely mocking us and they've got every right to. Our footy club has become focused on everything except winning. This is the sum total of all those things coming home to roost.
For once, I'm not shocked. I'm not surprised. This was absolutely in line with what I expect and have been warning about for a long time. This mentality, culture, attitude and approach is what we are. We've embraced the soft option; the cuddle culture and the weakest link approach.
Right now, under this leadership, this is what St Kilda stands for now.
Dont blame umpires our players are so overrated its not funny.
Butlers gone backwards alongwith Battle Billings Lonie etc. Hunter is not AFL standard.
We just believe our bull s*** at St.kilda something we have done forxm a long time. We need a massive clean out .
As a long tine supporter/member i am totally fed up with this s*** club and they can stick their membership where the sun dont shine.
Get St.Kilda people running our club and not zig and zag afl rejects along with the circus clowns we have now.
I think it it obvious there is internal issues that i am sure will come out soon.
At least we don't have to watch the rabble that is the St Kilda football club next week with the bye.
27 wooden spoons says it all unfortunately. FFS don't you dare get another one of those!!!
Another rebuild needed........nothing to see here for at least 5 years
Groundhog Day if ever there was one
Same old St Kilda
My two kids are mad Saints supports.
7 & 5. Went to bed at half time and will be totally gutted in the morning.
Really feel like telling them to support another team.
Supporting this club is just a lifetime of pain.

Ramps, did you join and post these threads of this Saints forum? :lol
This club has no future.
The only future is Tasmania, or a merger, none of which will happen.
I’m off to support GWS.
Goodbye Saints and thanks for the memories, even if they weren’t so good...
St Kilda, you are finished!!! (http://saintsational.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=102761)
Sorry guys.
In my time:
Saw South Melbourne as a basket case in 1981 get sent off to Sydney (we're they've won 2 premierships since.
Brisbane (with Fitzroy players) win three premierships.
We were much less deserving than Fitzroy and South. Get rid of Us - we don't deserve to exist.
Over 10 Million in debt, can't develop players, can't pick the right players, can't keep players healthy and fit.
Not hoping something better for one, two, five, 10, or 100 years.
1966 was a fluke. If we were a good club, we should have won by 10 goals, not 1 fricking point.
Give it up. Stop wasting 100,000 supporters time.
Had enough.
Fold, and P*** Off (http://saintsational.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=102772)

Saints forum in meltdown :laugh:
Oh St Kilda. Games like this make you want to chuck the whole thing in.
What the hell is the point of following this disaster of a club? Why do I do this?
Enjoy the break Saints.
You've teally earned ot tonight!
Id say Unbelievable.....but unfortunately...it is completely believable
Words fail me.......what the f*** is wrong with this club!!!!!
Battle, Lonie, Coffield, Butler in particular, hang your heads in shame, just witches hats tonight and that's being unfair to witches hats.....I'm done!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhah
I cant stop laughing
How do we lose lose that
I don't give a f*** about this lot for the rest of the season
Thank f*** Italy looking good in the European cup.
This is what it's come to ⛷⛷⛷⛷⛷⛷
Physically soul crushing.
I tell ya. It’s much better when you stop giving a s***. I have and honestly, I seriously don’t care if they lose. In fact in the last qtr I was willing Adelaide to win.
Simply because I don’t want any more half arsed, lame,,pee poor wins that cover up just what a farkin shambles of a club we are.
Root and branch changes required. Until then they can f*** off.
Maybe we'll get another 'keep up the good work fellas' message from the President, the CEO will clap on about some theme round, Roughhead will continue his 'yeh-nahs' and the 'Sounds of the Saints' podcast will spin out more of the same.
I don't think the club gets it. We have become a laughing stock.

North a goal up on the Giants at half-time. Would be a bonus upset if it stays that way to full-time.

A draw
North don't know how to win and it would appear either do the Giants.

Scott and Geelong celebrating like they won the flag :nope.
Winning the close ones makes a big difference. Cats have now won 3 out of 4 games decided by less than a goal. We've only won 1 out of 3. There's your two game difference.
Dogs will want back that last minute or so. Dumb by Libba to keep the ball alive and work it back into the corridor rather than trying to get a ball-up or letting the ball wander towards the boundary line for a forward stoppage.
Not sure what the end result does for us. One positive is the top 3 are all Victorian if we need to win it from outside the top 4. So we could avoid an interstate final if we finish 5th/6th.
-
if scott isnt the biggest flog in football im not sure who is.
cats will get a home final mark my words. If it comes during yet another useless Vic lockdown, or when the g is capped it may well just be us. :shh
Shocking would love nothing else than to find ways to stop our dominance.

Just fold Gold Coast already... :facepalm

What a goal from Toby
65-70m barrel

Paddy Dow worries me. He is a Jib if ever you have seen a Jib. I hope his Jib style has not influenced Thompson. If so delist him now. Deadset we cannot carry players like that. See Carlton tonight.

Dow and Pittonet both waiting for each other to pick up the ball was a shocker.
Hopefully Thomson won't be like that as he hasn't been Carltonised.

Merge with Carlton who are just as woeful :lol.

Would appear that Geelong doesn't like playing at the Gsbba ;D
-
The Cats love kicking 7.8-50 at the Gabba ;D.
What last night shows is no one is flag favourite and it's going to be who is hitting their peak in September that will win the flag.
Correlation isn't causation but it's funny how since Dangerfield has come back the Cats have barely got over the line at the Cattery and now they've been flogged last night. The scoreboard flattered Geelong. If Brisbane had kicked straight it would've been a 10-12+ goal hiding. If you can shutdown Geelong's contested ball game then they are too slow on the outside. Hawkins, Cameron and Rohan were starved of easy hit up passes last night.
-
If a Richmond player dived for a free like Joe Daniher did last night the media (hello Kane Cornes) wouldn't shut up about it.

Wow that's bad. Will the AFL come out and fine him though?
Should be $2k, $5k then a week suspension for subsequent offences IMO.
-
You can take the full forward out of Essendon.... :shh
-
Can we include tonight's game in this thread? :shh
-
Stuart Dew and his Suns will probably distract the media a smidge from us this week after losing to North.
Freo beat the Pies at Docklands so they are only percentage behind us now.
-
Well Melbourne has kept Essendon from jumping above us on the ladder. We'll need more of miracle for the Hawks to do the same against GWS :-\. So get ready for the rehashing of old "9th" jokes :boredom.
-
Imagine Melbourne supporters if the season gets cancelled.... :shh
-
Snap decision by WA govt after 1 new COVID cases
There will be no crowds at the Eagles and Doggies game today
Feel the Doggies fans who have made the trip

Hawks win
Defeating the Giants
We remain in the 8 :rollin

Clarko looking after his mate... :clapping

Go Doggies.... :clapping

Cokeheads % taking a hit too...coulda been 7th maybe even 6th... :shh

Doggies whack the Eagles by 55 points :clapping

Don't buy real estate in Perth. Another dodgy "15m" Ryan pass to Kennedy paid as a mark.

blues handed an away game against freo at the G.

Yeah but with the Shockers right on our hammer it's good for us... :shh

Wouldn’t Freo have chosen that?
Regardless , we just had a home game against Gold Coast in Melbourne

Still in the 8 #lolbumblers :clapping :gotigers :clapping
P.S. Big NO THANKS to Narkle... :thumbsdown

More diving for frees from Dangerfield. If it was a Tiger player we wouldn't hear the end of it from Cornes and co.

Need Melbourne to come back in the second half or we'll be out of the Eight this arvo.

Giants won. So we're out of the Eight.

Jayden Hunt what a dopey spud.... :banghead

Scumbaggers currently smashing Shockers... thanks again Chokebourne....>:(
EDIT: Shockers coming back. :shh
-
Blues won.
So here will come all the boring old "ninth jokes" :sleep even though we haven't finished ninth since 2008. North have finished ninth three times in that time.
-
Thank you Sydney
Eagles more woeful than us.
Smashed by 92 points
Kicked 1 goal in the 1st half, 3 goals for the game :gobdrop
-
Port exposed as pretenders once again tonight.
If only Melbourne had played like tonight last week against the Giants then we'd still be in the Eight :-\.
-
Gold Coast giving GWS something to think about

Laughable we could be 7th if we win.
Shows how bad some clubs including us are going.
-
No dominant team this year. Plenty of upsets. A shame we're so decimated and playing poorly. Flag this year would be wide open for the taking.
-
Nought beating the Weagles keeps things interesting until Friday night
-
Surely no-one outside SHocking, his media cheerleaders and Geelong inbreds seriously thinks the game is better to watch now.... rather watch the Roos-era Swans play the Lyon-era Saints at a Moorabin Mudheep than this utter shyte... :thumbsdown
-
The game last night showed how SHocking's rules aide Geelong. Win the contests via their bigger older bodies and then chip chip chip under no pressure up the ground maintaining possession thanks to the ridiculous "stand" rule.
-
Port does us a favour knocking over the Saints. So we're still 7th.
ps. Shocking standard game by the way.
-
That was a very important result for us
If we lose to Geelong and then win the last 4, we will make it
-
Bombers beat Norf. So we'll need both Adelaide & Sydney to win for us to remain in the Eight.
-
Get ready for all the "Ninth" jokes :sleep.
-
Baggas :lol :lol
Is there a bigger basket case than the baggas?
What is worse is they actually think they are good.

We haven't played North yet and with the exception of last game I haven't really seen anything over the last 6 weeks to suggest we could beat them haha.
-
We know where we are at mate, and we have seen 3 flags Andy.
What have they seen? No doubt they will throw their eggs in the clarko basket now.

The thing that makes me happy is seeing them disappointed every year after thinking they've arrived haha.
Cripps too. Poor bugger seems to be breaking down from carrying them for a few years, just as he signs a huge contract.
-
Saints losing again was good for us.
As for Carlton :rollin. They are like what we use to be in the 90s/00s. Just treading water while other sides fall down, rebuild and then go past them again.
North is playing some decent footy mind you. No longer the pushovers of earlier in the season. As Andyy said, we can't afford to dish up the month-long rubbish prior to the Brisbane win or we'll suffer the same fate.
-
Swans have beaten Freo. So another good result for our chances. Now it's up to us.
-
GWS does the business
-
You Damo
Giants by 13 points over the Bombers
Our season remains alive by default
-
The bluebaggers doing us a favour if they keep this up for another half (provided of course we do what we need to do and beat Freo).
-
Aside from Geelong who we just played, every team we've lost to over the past six weeks has played rubbish since. St Kilda the latest to fall away. We seem to be everybody's GF every week this year. They pumped themselves up to play us and then go back to their usual crap selves afterwards.
-
Playing the Eagles outside of WA is virtually a bonus 4 pts. The Jekyll & Hyde of the AFL.
-
Another team wins after dumping their coach.
Hawks upset win over the Lions.
-
He might be a dirty little sniping prick but stuff me Toby Greene is an absolute freak.... :shh
-
The jerk in me is happy it happened to wankerfield
Hope Selwood gets rubbed out.
Don't mind if they give Toby 1 week also
-
Blues lose to the Suns
They're out of race for 8th
Not that they were really a chance LOL
Wonder if they will sack Teague now?
-
Hope Selwood gets rubbed out.
Selwood only got another fine ::).
What Selwood did was a dirty cheapshot that shouldn't be in the game as it's dangerous. Taylor was bent over with his head over the ball and Selwood with no intention of going for the ball just charged into the side of Taylor's head.
https://twitter.com/AFL/status/1423615427251302407
Pickett got rubbed out for far less and despite the Lions player also getting up and playing on. The MRO and tribunal at the time said it had the "potential" to cause serious injury. Yet with Selwood the MRO says there's no to see here and he gets away with just a fine ::) :thumbsdown.
-
Greene will play for 2 reasons.
1. He should play
2. Reckon the AFL want the best team out there to get us out of the picture.
-
stuffing useless stuffing footsrcay.... :banghead
-
Always playing against 25 when you play against the Eagles in Perth. Umps getting the Eagles back into the game with soft frees in front of goal. 12 - 4 in frees in the Eagles favour and it's only halfway through the 2nd qtr ::).
-
Bombers over 5 goals up on the Suns at half-time.
So unless they choke our season is officially mathematically over. Playing for draft picks next week.
-
Freo winning too.
This is good. Upgrades our first pick.
-
Eagles getting robbed in this game.

Which is a surprise seeing umpire Marghetts has been their 19th man on the field for so many games over the years

This is good. Upgrades our first pick.

Now need Freo to do us another favour next week and lose to St Kilda.
-
6 goals in a half between two top 4 sides on the dry quick deck at Marvel.
SHocking's new rules have really brought about high scoring entertaining footy :sarcasm.
-
Hard to see the Doggies winning it all now. Their season is kind of like our 2018. Flying in the first half of the season but 'off' form in August heading into finals. Worst for the Dogs is they will fall out of the top 4 now if Brisbane beat the Eagles.

Couldn't watch it. Should have been a good game. Top sides, double chance on the line.
Terrible to watch.
-
It was a good finish...but it's like what the old saying about basketball -"it wpuld be a great sport of every game started at 99-all with 2 minutes to go...." appropriate as the AFL seem hell bent on turning the game into basketball/netball... :shh
-
Brisbane just made the top 4 with 15 secs to go.
Eagles gonski for season 2021. Lucky we didn't win or we would've been ninth ;D.

Geelong chokes again in another second half :rollin.
Cough cough cough! :lol
