I didn't want the Saints to win but they were seriously [censored] over by the umpires. That free kick count, just like the one last night, shows the pathetic bias by umpires towards certain teams. Enough already!

And whom did Neeld back and whom did he tell to suck it up?

Saints were stiff but that's footy, happens to the best.

bombers look dangerous but I don't know if it's their skill or the emotions they're playing on. I had most of my essendon mates banging on about they they're going to make the eight and such pre-season. I really don't want them to be right.... like... really

Seven never pass up an opportunity to broadcast a game with Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton or Geelong playing.

Interstate clubs and smaller Vic clubs are like lepers to Seven.

stop playing the victim card! 7 will play whatever makes them money.... if we win games then they have to give us these slots. simple

I know what you mean, they'll be insufferable if they make the 8. Really don't want that to happen. 

Saints were unlucky this week, actually very similarly to how we lost to the eagles last year. Inaccuracy and the umpires torched them, eagles just did enough when it counted. It's a shame the umpires need to be able to hear in order to catch things like touched off the boot, otherwise I'd say they should look into noise cancelling technology to cut out the crowd. Zero doubt it has a massive influence on their decision making and any umpire that tells you otherwise is lying.

Maverick Weller is surely the ugliest man in footy. 

Then I switch the channel and see Lingy.

If I'm not mistaken Weller's parents are also his uncle and aunt!

Nathan Brown had 0 kicks for the game.. just the 6 handballs.

And had a bloody good game until Kennedy got away from him in the last.

Was flicking between the Lions/Bombers and the Eagles/Saints games and there were some shocking haircuts in both.

Checking your Avatar, do you really think that you are qualified to comment on hair cuts??

I will say it now Garry JR does not care anymore, Gold coast has no injures so they got nothing to blame, there is a reason why two NRL clubs have failed there a A league team failed, no football team will play well there,  and wow 8000 to a AFL game GWS might win the flag but no one will care.

umm, not that simple.  You have to have a large number of supporters to seduce Ch 7 and the advertising $. Winning games over decades is required to get those numbers.

There's a definite pattern emerging in the AFL this season.

The clubs that are getting an extraordinary run from the umpires are -

• Western Bulldogs;

• West Coast Eagles and

• Greater Western Sydney.

See what's happening?

I have the answer.

Change the name of the club to the West Melbourne Demons.

Do it now PJ!!!

You could be right.

I had simply assumed that surgeons had discovered how to sew a hyena's head onto a human body.

Early days but at Quarter time : North 38 (6.2)... Geelong 13 (2.1)

Might be interesting next week

Geelong are not what they were. They got rid of Stevie J way to early as did Whorethorn with Lewis

that said we have to nail today before i think next week

Wow. Just wow. Anyone see Ablett's jog then?

Didn't watch yesterday's game but if it's the same incident that you noticed, ch9 showed the footage of a seemingly disinterested Ablett on the Sunday footy show this morning.

I'd hate to see a player like Ablett jr lay down the tools.  We see it quite a bit in pro-sports around the world primarily because of the big dollars that are 'guaranteed'. 

Geelong v North

Almost even scores now and only 15 mins into second quarter...  what a pity

Perhaps a draw

3Qtr time:  Port 117, Freo 46.  Freo never had much offensive, now they don't even have defence nor contested game

Lyon may have a long contract but that won't save him.  Freo have deep pockets and they showed their ruthlessness when they sacked Harvey and in the dark of night poached Lyon. 

World of pain for all.  It may be just enough to lose Fyfe. 

Interesting to see what happens with the preuss kneeing incident I reckon Daniher got Daniel Rich in a marking contest last night which was less obvious but still didn't turn his body and went knee first 

Freo are absolutely shite, they conceded 10.6 from turnovers in the first half kicking 0.1 themselves from the same source. Genuinely strike me as worse than Carlton and likely to collect the spoon. Not sure if there is a precedent either (Judd aside) for a team captain to leave his club as an RFA- even in his case there were few causes for complaint from Weagles fans given he captained them to a flag, Fyfe walking out on the club when they're in the shitter will set them back a long time.
