Whatever happened to the Jonas brothers? They're in my top three bands of all time.

Nick Jonas is in a ripping show called Kingdom. Plays an MMA fighter who's in the closet. Does an awesome job. 

No music though so I'm not sure you'd dig it. Plays a mean skinflute though.

Forgot he was in that DA. Fantastic series, looking forward to the next season.

Robbie Gray might just get rubbed out for that. Beauty.

[M_9 2,082]

Robbie Gray in the book for tripping. 50/50 whether he gets rubbed.

[Fat Tony 5,231]

Robbie Gray reported for tripping 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

He'll get a fine. Don't forget, the AFL have an agenda. 

[Adam The God 30,259]

This West Coast win is relatively handy for us. If we can beat the Lions, it'll mean even if we lose to Port next week, we should still be ahead of them.

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

As long as umpires and the rule makers allow players to keep giving out cheap shots in marking contests known as " making him pay" is keeping the door open for these kind of incidents  to continue to happen all too often. One day someone will be crippled or killed by an errant spoil.

Yep, as much as I enjoy seeing the Eagles lose, we need Port to lose as many games as possible. 

[M_9 2,082]

Re Gray's tripping: just looking at the last 5 or 6 players reported for same copped a fine (Fyfe, Lewis, Witts). Only Roughead copped a suspension.

[Adam The God 30,259]

At the moment, even though it's 20 points now, Port don't look like winning. Kennedy is just too dominant tonight.

Port think they can still beat anyone in a shootout. They're horrible defensively. 

We matched up well on them even when they were good, a lot has changed for both teams and I'd be very disappointed if we don't beat them.

Collingwood win is some concern for us. We're Brisbane that bad in their loss to them last week? Lions nearly beat the Swans just a few weeks ago.They will be extremely fired up whilst we have reminded all and sundry how hood we and how our depth is amazing all week. Worrying.

ah, but the AFL doesn't use precedents.

[M_9 2,082]

Hartlett will struggle to come up - bad corky and can't run.

Nah ET, if I'm right, the great news is he's gone. It'll be his third fine this year and it puts him over a $2000 trigger and he gets a week (somebody better check it though)

Freo a possible  look in at breaking the drought.

They'd (Freo) be disappointed with that.

[beelzebub 23,376]

Not to worry , Freo back to normal

[Adam The God 30,259]

Gee, Lachie Neale is a gun.

[dees189227 12,394]

Makes me nervous that freo keep losing, because I don't want to be the 1st team they beat. But they are just shocking at the moment. The richmond wins seem to be continuing. 

Geez the pies and the tigers seemed to be in a world of pain a week or so ago but  now the pies join us on the same wins and the tigs will be on 12 points. 1 game behind us depending on tomorrow. 

[beelzebub 23,376]

I now see what we did wrong when we list managed... we actually won a few games 

[Adam The God 30,259]

Neale's hands are as good as Oliver's.

[Nasher 33,616]

Freo are totally and utterly pants.  I just can't see how a quality side can just dissolve so quickly.  Gotta be the least number of people I've seen at Subiaco too, or so it seems on TV.

Can see them finishing last, cleaning up in the draft and then miraculously bouncing back next year though. Hopefully they linger down there for a bit.
