I'm reminded of the match against Carlton last year. Clear favourites ... so much to play for .................... So disappointing.

I guess we will find out if we have matured or not

but we were young and tired when we lost that game last year !

No excuses this time.... in fact the Collingwood game is the easiest... we need at least 2 out of the next three

I want the lions to win but then think its disgraceful they can beat freo on there home ground and yet we cant. 

Then I look at today and think gc beat the Hawks away. We beat the gc yet couldnt beat the hawks. So frustrating. 

[Dr. Gonzo 24,235]

If we'd beaten Freo and the Hawks we'd be 4th knocking on 3rd. How the hell did we lose them! So frustrating, we played both when they were at their best for the year while we had key players missing. So frustrating.

[Salems Lot 2,535]

27,000 at the Hawks v Suns game today...that Hawthorn Family drops off pretty quickly with a few losses.

[What 18,810]

The results are going our way.

This means we are likely going to choke on Monday.

[Redleg 40,979]

Yep there is luck in footy. Would Rioli, Burchall, Hodge, Bruest, Stratton and Frawley out  like today have seen us make up the 2 points we lost by, or Sandilands out have made up the 2 point loss to the Dockers.

There is always luck in footy.

We have played most sides at close to their best and at the same time with us missing some of our most important players, Max and Jesse for starters.

Luck hasn't been on our side in the first half of the season, but the way I see it, it has to come at some point and perhaps it will arrive in the second half of the season...or, potentially even better, in finals!!!

It's a great point, adding injuries during the cats and tigers game as being unlucky, the footy gods are doing there best to make us fail but we are hanging in 

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,400]

End of the day we should make the 8, our best can match it with just about every other team. Again mindset will play a massive part.

Knowing our luck, we'll lose to Collingwood and then beat The Dogs & Eagles, and it would not surprise me. They've picked up their form and are currently playing better than most teams outside the 8. If we both go toe to toe and it's a great match and we lose by a kick, it's not the end and it doesn't define the season. So I Fail to see why there would be no excuses. No excuses for a match without a 4/4 effort and No excuses for a quarter where we leak goals and never catch up. If Collingwood show up and its a great effort from both sides, win or loss, there is still time to beat other teams. Sorry for the optimistic pessimism.

Well this is unexpected. 

Although I do enjoy Hinkley getting knocked down a peg now and then. 

[Lord Travis 10,743]

So Essendon are up 40-1 vs Port Adelaide. Did not see this coming!

[brendan 3,437]

Wish essendon would just [censored] off and die, giving port a touch up 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,878]

The Toumpas effect 

[dees189227 12,394]

Gee Port look so slow and Essendon just look so fast. They are just free everywhere. Hopefully Hinkley sorts them out at 1/4 time. We need port to win for 2 reasons. Keeps essendon from passing us and port can knock off the tigs 4th spot.

We'll be even with Port if they lose and we win and we'll pass Essendon even with a win. We can pick off Richmond's 4th spot on our own instead of conceding it to Port?

Another 3 quarters like that from the Dons, and we win on Monday and we'll be close to 5th spot...

[Engorged Onion 10,223]

Good on Cale, been slaughtered in the press recently... was hoping he'd become a Dee... nice that he is hitting some form...shame about the bun.

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

Would definitely pick up Jackson Trengove as a free agent at the end of the year

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Gee Ports % is just stupid. 148.6 Highest in the league atm. Could take a dent here.
