Staying home form this one last thing i want to see is that pos Port beat us easily at the MCG in person

To win 11 games in a row in this competition, no matter how you do it, is a great achievement.

  • Sydney (12th) 2 points - AWAY
  • Western Bulldogs (7th) 14 points - HOME
  • West Coast (18th) 40 points - HOME
  • St Kilda (5th) 7 points - AWAY
  • Essendon (6th) 5 points - HOME
  • North Melbourne (17th) 70 points - AWAY
  • Melbourne (4th) 4 points - HOME
  • Richmond (11th) 10 points - AWAY
  • Hawthorn (16th) 55 points - HOME
  • Western Bulldogs (7th) 22 points - AWAY
  • Geelong (9th) 38 points - HOME

They’ve found a way to win all the close ones they’ve been involved in during that stretch of games.

The Geelong win was comfortably the most significant one but they’ve really won a majority of the games they would have been expected to win. The BYE has come at an interesting time for them…

I’m going to it. Take advantage of the games here during the footy season.

You miss it when the season is done.

Love these changes

Agree with all bar the Sub.
Would have Walla or Tex.

Tickets were sold out and considering Tigers beat us 13 times in a row i wasnt taking the risk of witnessing another Dreamtime loss

You mustn’t have watch the VFL

I’m strangely more confident in this game than what I was against Freo. That being said I expect an 8 goal loss.

Finlayson and Dixon count them for a bag each

Life is a risk my friend.

So you only go to games if you think we will win? That’s pretty fairweather.

Like most weeks…

I doubt they’ll drop Weed, but they probably ought to. Mass and Hind both went pretty well in the vfl. I’d really like to see Tex get a game. Also, Baldwin deserves a go. However, unlikely for that many changes. We really missed the big mad one

If Weideman plays this week it shows the club is finished.

Baldwin was the best in the VfL.
if Zerk is out he deserves a run.

I hope the players can manage to do better than jog a metre behind their opponents and will at least try to pressure them.
