I know Zak Jones was quite a nuffy today, but i'd still take him for his pace and contested work - And being trade out of Sydney would be a wake up call to pull his head in. I have to wonder if he has lowered his trade value tonight and we could get in on the cheaper (than before). For eg a sydney fans over the top response: "I’m sick of this [censored]. He’s fast becoming a liability and yeah, not worth it. Would gladly give him away, [censored] a trade."

 

Pass.

Sydney on the way out, time to spend some time on the bottom now, bye bye.

Gill and his henchmen just will not allow that to happen.

Hurley and Stringer laughing on the bench with 1 min to go despite not being in the 8. Makes me sick. 

And yet the press focus on Bernie smiling with Danger....

I agree totally that the Bernie / Danger thing was ridiculously overblown by the press*, but surely it is OK (even good) to have a laugh when you chalk up a somewhat unexpected and emphatic win.

* one of the great traditions that remains in our game despite administrators trying to stuff it up completely through incompetence or ego, is that players usually can mix after the game.

So you can bang an opponents head into the ground if it is in one action?

Not if you are NicNat. He got done for that

Tiggas v the filth pretty entertaining close to the end of the first half

[danielE288 781]

Have a bad feeling filth will win.

[Dee Zephyr 19,311]

Go Brisbane! Blow the siren.

pies might stay within cooeee til 3/4 time...Toiges to run away...as they do.

Pies to play very hard though

This lions cats game could go either way. Cats aren't much chop but lions lack composure (sounds similar to last Saturday night).

A lions win would be huge, but pee me off at the same time as, if we won last week, it would've ended the cats' season.

How did we lose to the cats? Oh yeah…we were 6 goals up before kicking the bucket for no reason.

[praha 11,267]

Cats are average and we should have by 7 goals for ffs.

[Mickey 4,777]

Zac Jones suspended for 2 weeks. Will miss the game vs the Dees

Amazing presence of mind.

Absolutely the correct call too.

[brendan 3,458]

Best goal this year that kid is a ripper 

[Clintosaurus 7,953]

Come on Tigers. Thump these pricks.

Our equivalent (Spargo) has as many tricks I reckon. Difference is that it looks like Charlie is always thinking team first, where this Richmond bloke just does whatever is natural to him.

Another game demonstrating why the upcoming rule changes are not required.

Richmond have learnt to put the foot down....

The Big lesson we are yet to master....

Last week aside, are there any other games we've failed to put the foot down?

We've smashed all the bad sides, repeatedly blowing the lead out late, and in the other losses we've either been trying to catch up (Geelong, St Kilda, Port, even Richmond) or just not in it (Hawthorn, Collingwood).

We have many lessons to learn, but not sure that is one of them.

Are C'wood about to have an honourable loss?Or is there no such thing?

I am talking the good teams, sorry i should have been more specific, with our dominence in the midfield, we should be far more dominant. But at this point we still haven’t mastered putting the foot down. 

It’s the big one to learn, so not all teams master it, but our midfield, i hope will demand it. 

Tonight will tell us a lot...Is the team shot or are they genuinely angry at being beaten last week

[Chook 15,069]

The way Richmond has treated Collingwood today reminds me a lot of the way our game against them went on ANZAC Eve earlier this year. Close for 3 quarters until the 4th when they blew us away. Richmond are a fully awesome side.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353]

I hate the filth. 

I begrudgingly admire them.  Not their supporters though.
