Non-Richmond games 2009

Sheesh looks like there's a couple of upsets on the cards. Port leading the Hawks at the 'G and the Swans 19 points up on the Blues. What a shame lol.

fingers crosses those results go our way.

I know so many Blues and Hawks fans who will be not expecting those results if they fall like that.

Not sure how the Hawks losing would actually go our way, other than from a "shove that up your khyber Kawks fans point of view"

They will certainly recover and make the 8. Port are pretty entrenched in it now event though they had an easy start. I thought they would finish a couple of places outside the 8. They'll be another team fighting for the lower places in the 8 now.

You're right Jake. These are bonus wins for the Swans (2 weeks ago) and Port knocking off Hawthorn. Especially Port as when the draw came out you would not expect them to beat the Hawks at the 'G. 

I see the Blues have the doggies next week. It could be 3 losses in a row to burst their bubble lol. Sheesh it's even not unrealistic we could be level with them on 2 wins each in 8 days time  .

Just on the Port game Hartlett looked so comfortable at AFL level for a debutant. Knew how to find the footy and didn't mind throwing his weight around either for an 18 y.o. body when he gave Roughead a nice bump. Freo really stuffed up overlooking both he and Rich.

Yep they topped up under Connolly with Harvey as assistant coach taking all of Essendon's rejects and are now paying it. Taking Stephen Hill at pick 3 and not Daniel Rich is another disasterous drafting decision. Freo proves the theory there's always someone worse off than you lol.

Actually that's funny, I said to a bloke at work last week after we'd been thumped that despite that result I knew we weren't the worst team in the comp....that mantle belonged to Freo.. he laughed at me

This morning he said to me "I reckon you're right they are terrible"

Am watching the St Kilda v Freo game on Fox tonight.
WP anyone who thinks Freo are are better off than ANY other AFL club need to be consigned to an asylum to say the least. We're bad but they make us look like winners.
Three goals to three quarter time is testament to that fact.

LOL Tucky

Saints vs Port next week so we'll get a proper guide where each is at.

Geez when Geelong are on song they are simply brilliant together. Ablett another lazy 46 possies with 31 handballs  .

[tigersalive]

St Kilda will beat Port.

Comfortably.  Can't believe they aren't favourites.

Maybe our team should handball more.... 

[mightytiges]

Well done with the tipping TA. Saints are pumping everyone this year. They and Geelong are once again showing if you're a strong tackling side and have plenty of ballwinners willing to put their body on the line you'll be up the top of the ladder. A lesson to the Tigers  .

[mightytiges]

Looks like Hille has done his knee. That'll stuff up Essendon if true.

Pies choke again 



Jetta will be one very relieved Bomber after his fumbling howler when running into an open goal almost cost Essendon the win  .

I would have done that but I've forgotten which one it was
Tell One Eyed to make himself useful and sticky it

Looks like Freo might upset Swans.

I was hoping the Swans would have an easy win and might go over confident against us next week, but on the other hand it is good that the ladder isnt spreading out that much as it gives us a better chance (if still very small) of making the finals.
