Watching Adelaide V GWS and the crows kicked across the ground which the "nuff nuff's" commentating called the "fat side of the ground". Someone please help me understand this and while your at it, "a goalkeeper" WTF. Brayshaw one of the "nuff nuff's". I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

    Fat side, has less players over there as all down the line, no idea where the term comes from

    Fat side is the side of the ground with the most space to lead in to. For example, if you are on the right hand flank, then the left hand half of the forward 50 is the fat side. 

    Been used as a term in footy for yonks.

    How “good” is the “atmosphere” in Canberra?

    Biggest crowd I have seen there. Must be warm. Haha

    GWS have a totally undeserved "They're unbeatable" reputation about them. They are eminently beatable, especially when they're away.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they are blasting a faux crowd blaring out of the speakers.

    It does look like a decent crowd but not reals into it.

    Collingwood have kicked 5 goals in a half at an indoor stadium. Flag contenders? I think not.

    Still think the lions may overcome the filth.

    Living in canberra, in got invited to the game with a whole bunch of 'rugby' people. I happily declined, and am now sitting in front of the heater watching it on the TV, as opposed to freezing my ass off explaining the game

    Yeah, really far fetched beating an average Sydney, WCE missing 2 or 3 best players and GWS at home.

    Unbelievable how little it takes for so many to be satisfied....

    by you theory, we are no chance in the finals, as we can’t beat top 8 teams.

    I never said we can't beat any of the next 3 matches, I said it's laughable to expect wins against all 3 and the Eagles to choke against the Lions. Nice work completely misconstruing my entire point.

    Play with yourself at the prospect of making the 8 mate, I am only interested in one result

    Only person who seems to be playing with themselves is you, considering how high on your own opinion you are.

    We'll see how chirpy you are if we lose tomorrow to those "average" Swans. Or to the Eagles, who are "suffering" so badly without those key players that they've won every game without them. ?

    Mickey a number of years ago some mates and I did the drive up for a Tahs v Brumbies game. Few from Melbs and a few from Syd. 

    Very funny weekend in a small, very cold town.

    We are on the internet discussing men kicking around the skin of a dead animal filled with air.

    We are all playing with ourselves.

    The only fiddling you should be doing right now is with the ladder predictor. If Port had beaten WCE, then a win over SYD & WCE next week would have us 2nd with the win over GWS in r23 . No need for a Brisbane win.

    Honestly, it's still a fairly small, very cold town. Great place to live if you're a not into big cities and don't mind the cold though.

    Well the Lions are still in this and have had a red hot crack so far. Let's see how long they can hang in there.

    Doesn’t matter how much you say it, it is too complicated for some

    agree... when I first started watching I assumed it was at the Sydney showgrounds and I thought .. wow that is the biggest home and away crowd I have ever seen for the Giants. Took me a while to realise it was Manuka. The Canberra market will probably save the Giants and I expect is responsible for half their members.

    As the great man once said.... "And well may he say God save the Giants because nothing will save the Gold Coast Suns !"

    Tomorrow’s game arguably of similar importance as the last round last year.

    We get three weeks to see who on the list can do it at the business end of the season.

    Moment of truth for the club and our list.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
