Leppa should be getting onto Seek.com during the week, and updating his LinkedIn profile. 2017 will be full of 'different' opportunities for him.
The Bears look bloody uninterested against a Freo team with a makeshift forward line.

They kicked the first 3 goals. Since then it's been 128 - 30. Thats ugly against the 17th team on the ladder.

Once Leppa goes I would not be surprised if they put in a Carlton like improvement next season.

I don't know. Rockcliff reminds me of N. Jones circa 2012-13. He tries but the gap between him and there bottom 7-8 each week is MASSIVE.
It's a long way back for any team whose second most honest contributor is Mitch Robinson.

Gotta hand it to the Dogs, a young team with a decimated backline and they sit at 9-3 in the top 4.

Whose home game is it out of Geelong and Kangaroos? 

I notice Geelong are named first but it's at Etihad and Geelong are wearing white shorts.

I would dearly love to see them win the flag, but doubt it will happen.

The rest of the top 4 makes me wanna vomit!

Indeed PA. I reckon their story is what we should aspire to; all the parallels are there.

While not wanting to appear superstitious, I would too, because every time without fail that they have done so we have dominated for the following decade.

Two things about commentary last night

• Dennis Cometti saying he felt SORRY for Essendon, because they are in this situation by circumstance and its tough playing every week. Sorry, but is he serious?
• Jamar was laughable. But he didn't deserve to be laughed at by commentators. Just totally unprofessional.

 

Dennis lost me  with this. Missed by far more than a cm !!

On the Dogs I was thinking today that if they are paying Boyd a ton of cash then surely some of their gun youngsters who are much better may want a bit more cash in future. You would think they will have a bit of salary cap pressure and may be vulnerable to have some of them pried. Macrae, Libba, Hunter, Wallis, Daniel, Johanissen to name a few. How will they pay all these guys enough while also paying Boyd close to a mill a year?

Good game of football tonight.

Have you seen the price of juice along the Nullabor??

can't say I have Steve but given your keen interest in muscle you could always give NOS a go. Might be cheaper out that way!

I seriously cannot recall when I last saw a game with the atrocious skill levels on display currently in the Saints v Carlton game. 

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

Melbourne v Peptides? Tigers v Pies? Peptides v Carltank?

[Emerald 1,744]

I'm turning this game off,even watching Etihad on tv is sucking my soul away .
