Is there or has there ever been a worse football coverage than Channel 7? I know they have to make a buck but could they possibly organise it so that there is not 100% aggravation for the poor viewer. It's an insult to have to repeatedly suffer intolerable lengthy ad breaks often after only 30 secs of play. Only bearable way to do it is of course record it and ff the ads, and even that is sure to keep your remote finger busy. Made a commitment to never watch the Channel 7 3pm replay "live" ever again.

RESPECT by The Oracle (with a little help from Sam the Stats Man) ... I’m tipping the Western Bulldogs to win this game over a much improved Melbourne but at least the margin of 25 points will be respectable in comparison to the one we saw at the end of that game earlier in the year.

If Morton slots that shot late in the game the result is the Doggies by 25. Close but no ceegar!!!

bell has been quite tight defensively, he always is. his problem hasnt been restricting his man, it has been turning it over when he has had the ball, specifically awareness issues and getting caught with the ball.

That's how I've seen it - less about what his man does, and more about what he does with the ball.

I also agree with you regarding Bode being quite unobtrusive. I think the Sandy coaches report has mentioned working on his counter-attack, so he can take that to AFL level.

Prved to me even more today, he serves no purpose, not one good bit of play, fumbly, indecisive, poor skills!

Not 1 person can say that he did ANYTHING today to warrant his place!

NExt week, out: Bell In: Petterd

Hmmm. There were alot of Predictions that Juice would kick 5-7 goals..............................

One word: Incorrect.

Stewards summary on Newton: Better for the run, Appeared hesitant in the going, dropped a few marks he should of taken. Should of passed to Sylvia on the lead in the 1st quarter but elected to shoot from 50m on the boundary - Result out of Bounds! Sylvia sledged him too. Bad choice. Back to the paddock advised.

Morton to have 21 touches

Wow im good B)

People bagging Bells game today, you realise he played on Brad Johnson for alot of the game, and had him pretty well covered? He certainly wasnt our worst today. Get off his back.

Juice was ok with poor delivery, still got alot of work ahead of him though if he's going to be an AFL footballer.

On a completely unrelated note, did anyone see Trent Cotchins game vs the Eagles? That kid is really special. He will mesmerize people in the future that's for sure! Pity he wasnt around at pick 4 Still pretty happy with Morton
