they rebuild over an off season and half adozen games...when its still a work in progress for us after 5 years.

They haven't done a re-build.  They have just done a renovation. Unlike a knock down and re-build (which we have been doing since 2006 ?), their foundations haven't been replaced, merely building on what is there. Their true re-build will take place when the likes of Roughhead, Frawley, McEvoy, Burgoyne, Birchall, Gunston, Shiels, Rioli (none are younger than 27) start getting on or retiring.

the Blues are up 11 points ... after going behind by 2

this is becoming interesting

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Ed Curnow won’t play next week, hand firmly placed on umpires chest.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Bomberblitz matchday thread are asking for the coach to be sacked and James Hird reinstated. Gold.

Okay ... renovated ???

Structural timber is starting to age though Bub.

[Demon Disciple 11,218]

Jack Watts seems to be getting back to his old usual self. Now for Bailey to snag 5 this half to top it off.

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Tyson drops a sitter then turns it over then can’t knock it through for a point 5 meters out...

incompetent.

Just went to sit down and watch the Dogs v Lions on FTA and what do I find.... Freo v Saints ... yawn

Inspector Morse re runs for me tonight !

[Dee Zephyr 18,269]

The showdown is a thriller now...

[What 18,810]

Can not believe West Coast are 7-1.  Vomit.

[Bonkers 918]

Pretty epic final 5 minutes of footy over in Adelaide. I'm not sure to be happy that Adelaide lost or disappointed Port Picked up points to clog up the ladder.

[whatwhat say what 20,468]

Love it when the Pear beat the Crowbots, Robbie Gray stars, and Jack Watts is ordinary

Im glad Port won. I prefer the logjam than some teams getting a jump and breaking clear for a top 4 spot.

Adelaide are nothing special.

The more you watch St Kilda now, the greater Nick Riewoldt’s career gets.

I guess it all depends on the situation later on in the year. Port losing may have helped us with regards to our finals chances? I guess a lot has to play out first so it's all hypothetical at this stage.

Haven't seen a match from the new dome in the West before.

Don't like the cattle fences keeping the crowds back.

Hope it doesn't become a trend....

Well spotted. Wow it looks totally horrible. Still.... the players do need to be protected from the crowd in the West. Better than machine gun nests and Sherman tanks i guess...

Yep WWS:

AFL is special in the whole crowd thing... like other areas it seems we are losing our innocence.

Not sure it's necessary but rather it's a reaction to some security anlayst's what ifs.

Have we ever had a serious crowd invasion incident?

Off to the World Cup in a couple of weeks .... will be interested to see how the Russians deal with it.

[Goffer 256]

St Kilda are rubbish. The goal umpire calling a score review on a behind because she felt sorry for them just about sums up their first half. Freo are playing in third gear and still comfortably up. 

[What 18,810]

Saints and Bombers are in for years of pain.

Blues hit the front late in the third quarter.

The Bomber equivalent of the Richmond microwave could be warming up !

Nah.   They won’t microwave, just go to a drug dealer and go on a bender.

If we keep winning I will always go for the lower team beating the higher one.
