LOL. Port 33 Pies 1 at 1/4 time  :lol. Nothing like a change of coach to get a side up although Port did have the breeze.

Meathead Cloke should get a minimum 3 weeks for that elbow to the head off the ball :stupid

watch him go to the tribunal in tears because everyone's out to get him. hope the tribunal throw the book at him.

I reckon he'll take three weeks. Means he'll avoid Jake King when we play the Skunks in a fortnight. At least Jake has Didak in his sights now unless he misses also. :lol :rollin :lol
haha well that's something i hadn't thought of. he'll be dead scared of facing Kingy again that's for sure, so maybe he's trying to get himself suspended to avoid humiliation again...  :lol let's just hope Kingy stays out of trouble until then!
I wonder if Cloke will "talk like a bird" at the tribunal this time around  ::)

who knows... he's probably going to ball his eyes out because the big boys are picking on him. :rollin

now with adeliade starting to get up and about hopefully they make the final. Adelaide being on top of there game would make the finals more interesting then having a swans or kangaroo's in there.

Any fairytale story involving us making 8th is now next to impossible with Sydney beating North. Sydney's superior % mans it is effectively a 3.5 win gap.

You would have to think Knighta is close to the edge too, trailing Melbourne by 27 at 3Q time.

It's been a good day. Both the Blues and Bombers got pumped  :lol. Good to see the $1m spent on Betts' new contract was money well spent today lol.

We weren't going to make the top 8 as we're too far back so the Swans winning is neither here nor there. It only once again shows what is wrong with the current draft system. Still 7 rounds and there's no incentive to win for the bottom 8 sides. The League should either bring in a random draw for the bottom end of the draft or make the cut-off now at round 15. Imagine knowing we had pick 6 in our keeping and we could just go hard as we like to win as we're doing for the rest of the season without being punished for winning.

I'm not sure about that, had the kangas won narrowly, we would have to win 3 more games than them until the end of the season (including next weeks game), having to make up about 120-150 points in differential to overhaul them on %.

If we had won 6 out of 7 we probably would have made it, maybe even with 5 wins.

Sydney have a tough run home and generally haven't punched above their weight this season, I don't know if they have beaten a top 8 side. Had they lost today I reckon it would have been real tough for them.

That's all true but I always find when you need to depend on other sides to win/lose then you're practically stuffed. A result will always go against you and it's hello ninth spot again :banghead. If Tucky had kicked the ball a second earlier and we had beaten Hawthorn then maybe we'd have a sniff (be in 10/11th? spot) being 2 games out but we're just too far back.

This year was never about making finals and wins. I think we've proven we have a decent young core group that has a future together so I'd be happier if now we remain and finish 15th (by bringing in more younger inexperienced players even if it costs us wins) and in the process give ourselves the best chance of adding more talent to our list via a better placed position in the draft. I still see us on a 2013 timetable as far as becoming a genuine top side.

Could be an upset brewing at Footy Park. Crows up by 11 at 3/4 time and with the momentum.

Great win by the Crows. probably not a great result for our chance for the finals but for our draft order  :P

Sorry. Couldn't help myself  :lol

Speaking of the draft, Ablett was fairly ineffective tonight and rarely sighted. Either he's carrying an injury (there was a rumour beforehand tonight's game he might miss) or the GC thing is playing on his mind.

The Pies are well on top of the Saints to half-time. It's harder to play that defensive crap St Kilda play on the larger MCG.
