AFL Round 6 (non MFC games)

[John Crow Batty 8,886]

St Kilda's comeback is not good for our PR. Add them to the list of clubs people will say we should be around the level of but have 'gone past us'.

Of course, such comments are based on one win, against another side in the group of clubs who have supposedly 'gone past us' but couldn't beat St Kilda.

I'd personally put it down to the ups and downs of being a lesser club, but I guess 'gone past us' also works.

The way we are playing I can't see us turning around a game if we fall 4 or 5 goals behind. Most sides seem to be able of doing that irrespective of strength. In our two wins we were mostly front running against lacklustre opposition. In others once we fell behind it was game over.

The Dogs had a great win in a slog against the Swans at the SCG. They were flat in the 2nd half today. Had to be expected that the Saints would come back in some capacity, sure, not necessarily win, but definitely cut the margin.

Saints should have won last week against Essendon.

We can't win at Etihad, can't beat the Saints, can't win in Perth, can't win in Sydney, can't beat top 8 teams.

Saying they've both "gone past us" is completely fair. What have we done to say otherwise? Beat a divided GC at the MCG, and an unsurprisingly fickle Richmond? Get real!

Tonight is our test. We need to have a "turnaround" game. Nothing has really suggested the "turnaround" the club needs has happened.

[Ted Lasso 19,568]

The crows best player is an umpire again, disgusting how bias they are at Adelaide oval, mind you the Suns effort is like watching a team full of jack watts

This is such a big game of opportunity for us. A win and we remain in the mix. Lose and we lose too much ground and settle in our usual bottom 4 position. Turnaround is a good word.

Not being played at adelaide oval

[Ted Lasso 19,568]

My bad, must have imported their own umpires

[What 18,810]

so we cop the Swans on the rebound tonight, and the Hawks on the rebound next week

We really are cursed

[1964nowMORE 493]

Once again the true value of a pair of gun mids impact on the game and their teammates is being shown in Sydney.

Hodge and Lewis out and all of a sudden the fringe hawks look much weaker. Love to see the giants hang on.

[Sir Why You Little 37,342]

Hawks are beatable.

And we should have the same attitude tonight.

We do that the season is wide open.

[picket fence 18,071]

Swans on rebound Hawks on Rebound next week !! A few thrashings appearing on horizon! Watts Sub?? Stretch in Good luck kid, Toumpas et all I fear !

[dees189227 12,461]

Great we get hawthorn on the rebound next week after a loss to gws

[KingDingAling 3,758]

With Hodge, Lewis, Lake and Frawley out, it is a good time to take on Hawthorn.

The Hawthorn we will play next week are half the side Sydney are tonight.

Plus, without Hodge and Lewis, Hawthorn didn't look too good on the inside, Sydney are a different story.

[Macca 17,120]

On a brighter note ...

• Pies got smashed
• Tigers over-run and overrated
• Bombers are pretenders
• Hawks lost a game they would have won if Hodge & Lewis weren't rubbed out

... and hopefully the Blues lose (by a point)

[dees189227 12,461]

well im guessing Richmond will be in the media this week. Glad to see Freo do the job on the bombers and tomorrows Carlton Brisbane game will be very interesting.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Wow Carlton are shite!

Why do we have to wait until the end of the year to play them?

[Ted Lasso 19,568]

Serious issues down at Carlton, Seems the decision on mick has already been made.

[The Lobster Effect 896]

and with a couple of minutes left in their game.... west coast may not be flat track bullies after all?

[What 18,810]

How can West coast rebuild so fast

WTF do they do that we cant?

I think every one is rebuilding quicker than us. The Doggies, the Saints, WC to name some. We are nearly 10 years into our search for a competitive midfield division. Why is it so hard for us to find a couple of elite ball magnets?

Recruit?

[picket fence 18,071]

Stand By!! Big presser Re Malthouse coming soon !! No later than Tuesday Methinks!

[dees189227 12,461]

well west coast are the sneaky team that have quietly risen up the ladder. With all there injuries to there backmen they are going really well. To beat port in adelaide is a great win.

I think the media bus has turned from punt rd and heading to optus oval. There were some unexpected results this weekend.

[Biffen 12,949]

He sounds like an absolute basket case mentally.

Seems pretty clear to me he isn't ready or in the right frame of mind to be playing AFL if one sledge can break him down like this.

Yeah ,

Ablett,Jakovich,Jacko,Jeff Farmer,etc were all perfectly normal individuals too.

Don't overrate this win, the Adelaide/Port teams record the game after a showdown is very poor.
