Carlton will finish 7th/8th and be deadset no chance of winning the flag. I wouldn't bet on them at 100-1. There is much less difference between 8th and 16th than 8th and 4th. How does this happen?

more to the point how's it going to be fixed with 2 new clubs coming in back to back of each other. theres only so many mid 20's aged VFL and state league players that will be able to step up straight into afl and have an effect on the game straight away.

The AFL is counting on the player pool increasing in 20-30 years time with more kids in NSW and Qld deciding to take up Aussie Rules thanks to the new clubs up north entering traditionally non-Aussie Rules regions. On top of that Melbourne's population is expected to bypass Sydney's by 2050 so there'll be more players in the Aussie Rules heartland. Even if that all goes to plan which is hardly guaranteed, it looks like in the meantime we'll have to put up with more ordinary sides  :-\. The AFL have still got a Tassie side to squeeze into the comp. eventually.

Bombers 7 goals up on the Saints  :o. Poor Sainters looking shakey in recent weeks. Flogged by the Pies, lucky to draw with Hawthorn and now getting flogged by Essendon tonight. Kosi is a major liability. He just becomes a spectator once the ball hits the ground as he is just too slow and cumbersome.

If Freo and the Dogs win this week then they'll be only half a game behind so yeah it's possible. Freo have similarly hit a wall though after losing Barlow and St Kilda play bottom 8 sides in the last 4 weeks so maybe the Saints will hang on. Hawthorn is the form side below them but 3 games behind with just 5 weeks to go means they're too far back.

The Bombers sure are the Saints bogey side.

The win should keep knighta in the job avoiding a complete rebuild and keep the Dons in no-mans land for a few more years

 ;D

I know it's easy to write off a side straight after a loss, but boy, if the Saints guns don't fire, they have a serious drop off in quality.

Their best 6-7 are as good as anyone's, but Pattison, Kosi, Dawson, Raph Clarke, Jones just to name a few, are ordinary players.

The Ratt could be feeling a little heat if it's a 100 point smashing.

Travis Cloke's goalkicking as good as ever. No goals 5 behinds  :rollin

We got flogged last week but sheesh at least we could say we had a team of kids with our midfield decimated and Pies were accurate in front of goal. The Blues have Judd, Murphy, Squibbs and co. and are still getting pumped and haven't kicked a goal since early in the 1/4 quarter. 10.12 to 0.1 since Carlton's last goal  :o. Today is just rebound and goal practice for the Pies. Bye Bye Ratts lol.

Edit: Blues finally kicked a goal after 70 mins without one.

Judd may have done his shoulder. I might have to change what I said last week that the top 8 was done and dusted.


For a laugh Blues fans are losing it on Talking Carlton  :rollin.

I want collingwood to beat us by a 100+ so Ratten gets sacked. First time ever I've wanted to get beaten.
