Yes the won again, this time they limped over the line at home to a struggling Saints.

The big think they achieved is once again they won the free kick count comprehensively at home by 25 to 12, they are simply a juggernaut, it’s amazing such consistency.

There’s no doubt the umpires are heavily influenced by the Eagles crowd.

LOL at Rance's dive just then, pathetic! I'm actually convinced that the commentary and hype around him is a giant prank on me and I'm part of a Trueman Show type thing this year. Absolute batshit crazy!

Tigers smashing them now and getting a percentage boost. Looks like both them and the Eagles will overtake our percentage tonight. We still have a firm hold on third place though with Swans over 20% behind us.

Brilliant first paragraph lt. The fawning by darcy at the post match was sickening. Empty vessel commentator so common on ch 7 ( excl daisy who seems smarter than all of them)

Seeing as we're a few hours off game time, here is the best cryptic clue of all time IMO.  The answer is a common five letter word.

HIJKLMNO

Water.

ps the game was yesterday...

'Water'  is correct ... the letters H to O = H2O = water.

ps this is the non-MFC game thread ... games still to come.  :)

OK so Richmond have a fraction better percentage now but if they lose next round and we win we will still overtake them.

Rance should get a fine for that ridiculous dive he just took. He didn't even get pushed in the back. His opponent just nudged his arm and Rance went flying. 

Kane Cornes is calling for him to be fined, he recalls 6-7 incidents and he continues to get away with it.

If Rance was an ice hockey player he would spend most of his time in the penalty box for embellishment.

Surely we will get at least 1 upset today.. all three game are chance for a boilover.

I won't be watching the entire Tigers / Druggers replay so can anyone please tell me the quarter and time of the much discussed (latest) Rance dive?

Thanks

The drug cheats are excruciatingly bad. Goddard should retire. I hate Goddard, I hate the drug cheats, I hate the Toiges. What a crap match. I think I'll do a cryptic crossword.

Goddard is just so likeable, isn't he (NOT)!!

Did he abuse any of his team-mates this week or swipe the jelly babies?

Big game between Pies and Dockers today.

I have not rated Collingwood this year. Bit like Saints I thought and marginally above Essendon.

Last five weeks or so have been good for them.

Not sure that my psyche could deal with a resurgent Collingwood not to mention the Eddie/Bucks show.

Go Dockers

Looks like no upset in Game 1 today. What’s next?

I'm the opposite.

I've watched a fair bit of Collingwood, and I think they're nearly the real deal. Outside of West Coast Richmond Melbourne Sydney, they're the only team I think could actually win the flag if everything goes well. Yes there's Adelaide but injuries have destroyed them this year.

With Nth possibly finishing as high as 6th after this round... how is it that ‘Melbourne hasn’t beaten anyone yet...’??

You don't understand; North weren't good yet when we beat them. How could they have been? I mean, they lost to Melbourne!

 

Woeful stuff from Brisvegas.  Very disappointing.

I dont see how you can put the words Collingwood and win the Flag in the same post without it being [censored}? Mods??

Was hoping for a Freo upset over the Pies but looking at their team it will be very hard...  two debutantes and a bunch of other kids.... must be an extremely young and inexperienced team.

Interesting perspective Chook.

I suppose I based my opinion on their 2017 season and couldn't really see much upside.

So far they have proved me wrong.

Pendlebury having a fantastic season along with Sidebottom and Treloar hitting their straps is a good base. Not too sure where their goals come from

Watch them lose today and make me look like a dill.

I'm a real fan of how Bucks has got them playing this year though, and I kinda want them to win big today to set up a massive QB next week.

Can’t stand Hoskin-Elliott. He just kicked a goal, still tied with Jesse as the only two to have kicked a goal every game.

I can't understand why commentators are saying this is some sort of competition between the two. Ben Brown had 1 game without a goal and he's probably on track to win the Coleman (but here's hoping Jesse will beat him) - I don't think a player kicking a goal in every game in a season is some sort of big achievement. 

Pies are quick

I agree with you, had to maintain some minor interest in this game. 

Interesting that media people today are also talking about rance and demanding he is fined. 

If we can't beat Freo I'll go he for tiggy. They're battling. No system that I can discern.
