Round 21

[Whispering_Jack 30,675]

Cats do it again, Buddy earning his $ (have a look at his 7th goal) and can Gold Coast rejuvenate its season?

[dees189227 12,401]

please please west coast get up and win today.

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Buddy hell! He'll kick a baker's dozen the Aints don't pull their finger out.

[Whispering_Jack 30,675]

please please west coast get up and win today.

I'm a bit inclined to that way of thinking.

A win by West Coast will set up a great challenge for Melbourne next week over in Perth, won't it?

Be careful what you wish for

I would like to know what Simpson has done with the Weagles in the past few weeks. I saw their game at Patterson's Stadium against Richmond and they were terrible. Suddenly they really are looking like a finals side. Incredible.

[Whispering_Jack 30,675]

I'm still not writing Essendon off yet. Leaving aside the drugs issues (am I starting to sound like Robbo?), how good is Jobe Watson?

Playing his first game after two months' lay off and had 19 touches up to half time. That it awesome.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Oh boy... I'm usually optimistic...but next week against west coast is going to be really ugly.

Why do the Cats now shite me to tears? They have been lucky this year IMO with umpiring decisions handing them three close matches. Brisbane, Freo and Carlton in the first match.

I maintain they are the worst 16-4 side in the game's history.

Fallen over the line against Richmond, Carlton, Essendon, Bulldogs, GWS, Fremantle and Carlton again. Not even close to Sydney, Fremantle (the first time), Port or the Gold Coast. The only reason they beat Hawthorn is the mental side of things in that match-up. And when they have won convincingly, most of the time it's because their opponent was average on the day, not because they played outstanding football.

Good on them for winning, but deserving of a premiership they are not.

[dees189227 12,401]

stupid west coast. They let essendon back in the game by letting them kick 5 consecutive goals. They led by as much as 38 points in the 3rd quarter. then they kick 2 behinds in the final term. Wets coast are massive under achievers.

[Pink Freud 370]

Not only that. They were playing for a place in the finals but now, they're gorn.

You say we will win against Hawks, but after an alright display by the Eagles you say it's going to get ugly? Lol.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Actaully i believe I said that when the eagles were around 38 points up, just before they lost their momentum. And with regards to the Hawks match, I kind of realised how deluded I was to think that after a couple of days, thus, I mentioned I didn't expect us to win as a result. Get your facts straight mate <3

[Ethan Tremblay 30,971]

Brisbane beating Collingwood, hope they get up and squash Collingwoods final hope.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Far out...Brisbane have some high quality midfielders. Their going to be something in the near future

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Saying this for the first time in my life...GO BRISBANE!!

[PaulRB 6,411]

Bye bye finals for the Pies.

hehehe

[Whispering_Jack 30,675]

Collingwood have been badly hit by injury tonight.

Before the game, the Pies lost Elliott and Pendlebury. Reid was then subbed out in first 2 - 3 minutes and Cloke went off with an ankle injury before half time.

The "rested" emergency Clinton Young came in for Elliott while Tony Armstrong who played in the VFL at Geelong this afternoon (and ran 14k doing it) was a late inclusion as a sub and because he came in early for the injured Reid, will end up playing virtually 8 quarters for the day.

Given that Elliott was said to be under a bit of an injury cloud anyway, they might have been better of resting two of their emergencies as a precaution. After all, a finals place is at stake.

Gee, Beams now down as well. Talk about club doctors earning their pay.

[titan_uranus 25,045]

Collingwood's season looks shot it seems, with Hawthorn in Round 23. GC is finished. So...is Richmond now favourite for 8th? They look likely to beat Adelaide. Each of Adelaide and Richmond play St Kilda, so they'll both have 11 wins. Richmond might make it even if they lose to Sydney, on percentage. Hardly believable, really.

[Hulett Packard III 166]

And what about the AFL's flakiest team North Melbourne? If they lose to the Doggies tomorrow then they might have to beat us in the last game with Jesse Hogan playing at FF!

Yep, just as has been the case in the last few years, there's a bunch of teams contesting for that coveted position of making up numbers in the finals and getting spanked by the team who finished fifth.

You have to wonder if it's really worthwhile having an eight team final series when the teams that finish eighth are never really in the contest.

[Nasher 33,617]

Crows coming back now. I'm a sadistic bastard and would love to see them run over the top of Richmond.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Complete with an Eddie Betts special from the pocket with 30 seconds to go!

[Nasher 33,617]

Holy moley. I know it's exactly what I just wished for, but now that it's happening it's hard to watch. That feeling of watching a trainwreck unfold in right in front of you... better them than us!
