As opposed to all the other weeks, that have been kind? Most of the time the week after we play anywhere is unkind. We lose so often that it's impossible to say if Darwin is a factor or not.

That's true but why leave anything to chance?

Now that we're literally in bed with the AFL it shouldn't be too hard for us to request demand that our Darwin fixture be played in the week before our midseason bye to ensure that we get the desired rest anyway.

Incidentally, that's exactly what happened with the Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide game in round 10.

I can only hope that the idea was actually raised by Jackson . i.e Darwin then our bye. Wouldnt think it asking for the world.

Anyone got a seating plan for the game. With the top level closed, have they altered G.A seating?

Been calling for Tapscott behind the footy for weeks. Let's see how we goes!

Injured/rested?

It's stated on the AFL site as being 'quad', but who knows.

Big game for Tapscott. Must show something.

I wonder if the dry weather and quick game can get some spark about him. I've been a big fan of his potential but when I watch him I see a player who looks as if he is treading water. May need to lose a few kgsover summer, add some dash.

Does anyone think we can stretch them up forward today? Watts Dawes fitzy and Howe in the dry weather, could be a strength to keep us in it similar to the Sydney game, that is make our forward entries count.

good start to him!

That's my boy Tappy.

Pederson = Spud.

Pedersen didn't push back hard off the mark, then kicked off one step, straight into the man on the mark.

Ffs.

Well he was recruited from the VFL.

For christs sake, just stay on Wells and Harvey.

Max is getting an absolute bath. Goldstein having a field day.

5 shots to 1. If Scott wishes to keep his job into next year we will get pumped today on Noughts home ground.

If we do get pumped Craig can forget the senior position.

I shoulda stayed at the pub I think.

WHY THE HELL DONT OOUR PLAYERS LIKE KICKING FORWARD FROM THE BACK FLANK OR CENTER!!!%$#$#%YGHFFGHFXGDFGDFGZ

Good to see the Toump having bounces.

Allister Lynch, shut up you [censored], you are as bad as Tom Harley.

Toumpas lively!

The kid doesn't like the wet.

This is dross. Transition from defense looks staggered and uncertain. Just can't get it inside 50.

Inside 50s 12-1.

i don't understand why craig is playing an 8 man defence.

not only is it not working, but it makes for incredibly ugly football.

Can someone please tell our players to quickly get back behind the mark without running off the line and therefore playing on!

These umps are shocking.
