Would love for the Saints to knock off the Weagles. Biggest down-hill skiers in the comp at the moment, with the biggest flat-track bully in the league in Kennedy. Both have good games against weak op

I care because the AFL have handed them a free ride at the expense of the old clubs which were unfortunate enough to be near the bottom in recent years and which may within a few years eliminate the c

Chip giving Franklin a hiding. Kept him to 4 possies 1 mark no score. I bet the AFL are now thinking that they should have put this match on last night instead of tonight.

Meanwhile in Perth the dockers are going baout there business leading nth by 40 points.

What an amazing game SS v H. Watching on TV what impressed me most - glad to see a lot more down the ground views - was the continuing run and run and run when players of both sides did not have the ball...and did I say run and run. Saw just a bit of it round 1 but so rare from MFC teams over the years. Hope they were watching.

We are 2000 light years away from playing footy like tonight

It is depressing to say that but i have downed a bottle of Shiraz!!

True, but some posters continue to defend some of crap some of our players serve up. Trade them this year or be stuck with them.

Hawks had more to lose last night as now they are 2 games behind Syd.

An early hold on 2nd spot of the final ladder was at stake.

It means the Hawks won't be able to rest/rotate their aging players later in the season.

That has been a vital part of their strategy in the last 2 premiership wins.

Good chance they will finish 2nd/3rd but which way round?

It will probably come down to percentage.

Neither wants to finish 4th as it is off to Freo for their first final.

Given the current ladder if Hawks don't finish top 2 their 1st final will be interstate.

It will be a must win final as they will need the weeks rest for their aging team.

So, a lot more at stake for the Hawks last night than first meets the eye.

They may well rue last night's inaccurate kicking, come season's end.

Their rematch in rnd 16 will be a beauty.

It maybe one of the few highlights to come given how one sided most games are.

My $15 multi is still live. Tipped the first 8. Got port.

Did you lay-off on Richmond, or better still cash out with one leg to go?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
