Round 23 Non MFC Games

[sisso 2,628]

Freo are virtually no chance they are terrible....we can dream though

[dees189227 12,527]

Would love to see Freo knock over the pies for obvious reasons. I just don't want the pies getting a double chance

Sydney v Hawks will be interesting

But i really think the game that will be the highest viewing game and the most popular is nth v saints tucked away at 4:40. Not

What I would find hilarious but it wont happen is GC best geelong, they miss out on the finals and port slide in. Actually assuming Port beat the scum tomorrow night, which I hope they do they will be in the 8 until geelong play.

The only upside of the filth getting the double chance is the possibility of them going out in straight sets ...

I hate the filth ....

my preference would be to seek revenge on the cats in 2 weeks, to say we owe them is an understatement.

[Pinball Wizard 374]

I wouldn’t be discounting the Dockers. They have an unpredictably dual nature in that they are the competition’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: usually very good on their home deck but they go shockingly when they have to travel away.  

Barring the local derby games, Freo are 7-3 on their home ground this year. Their scalps include both Adelaide teams and earlier this year they nearly knocked over the Eagles at the venue.     

I’m backing them in to upset the Pies.

[dl4e 5,851]

Can't really see any upsets this weekend. Maybe the saints over North. Us and gws about the hardest to pick.

[Lucifers Hero 40,746]

Just as there is a lot at stake in ladder position for the top 8 there will also be jockeying for position outside the 8 for Draft position.  eg 3 teams are on 44 pts so they can shift 3 spots in the draft.   Ditto a few spots for teams further down.

I doubt the likes of Freo will try too hard to beat the Pies, or North try too hard to beat the Saints.  Adelaide may even let Carlton win to lock in draft pick 7 - critical for Adelaide in a draft top heavy with SA talent.  

A very interesting round...

more likely to get a foot stress or fracture injury on goschs paddock

[spirit of norm smith 16,680]

Toe injury would rule me out

Do you reckon Hawks fans will be a bit peeved?

Gosh Kennett makes the food come back up.

[DemonWheels 1,118]

Who do we all think will take out the Coleman?
Riewoldt and Brown in the box seat but Hawkins playing against the Suns could have a field day.
By the time Sunday rolls around Ben Brown will know exactly how many he needs and I reckon the North boys will try and feed him all day. Depends which Saints turn up as to how many he kicks.

60   Jack Riewoldt  (Vs Dogs – Sat avo)
58   Ben Brown  (Vs Saints – Sun avo)
57   Lance Franklin  (Vs Hawks – Sat night)  *potentially not playing based on recent commentary
56   Tom Hawkins  (Vs Suns – Sat avo)
52   Luke Breust  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
- - - - - - - - - - - - 
47  Jesse Hogan  (Not playing)
46  Jack Gunston  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
45  Tom McDonald  (Vs GWS – Sun avo)

Well done to Jesse and Tom who will likely both finish within the top 10.

I so want Geeeeelong to win so we can have the pleasure of thumping them out of the finals. Our two loses to them earlier MUST burn deep within our boys and staff. Just want to see their smug faces in serious pain. Their arrogance really upsets me.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,389]

Tom Hawkins will bring home the cheddar. 

[What 18,810]

Dead rubber tonight.

I don't wish injury on any player but I would like to see the 10 best players from Port and Essendon all do their ACL and miss all of 2019.

We have never had 20 ACL tears in the same game so maybe tonights the night.

[buck_nekkid 6,103]

We don’t care who wins tonight’s “disappointment cup”, do we??

[Ethan Tremblay 31,389]

Should Hinkley be worried about his job?

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Is Watts Ports tackling coach?

I would’ve sacked him after the showdown celebration cringe fest. 

[Chook 15,080]

Port is an absolute rabble. I guess Jack Watts was the problem all along…?

Good question, they were 11-4 and will miss.

[red&blue1982 255]

This is hilarious what's happened in the Port v Ess match!

[MT64 1,148]

Just turned the match on and after three minutes turned it off. In that time Brooooose climaxed three times over the druggies. RETIRE now you nuff nuff. He just insult's everyone's intelligence.

[Pink Freud 378]

You would have to say now that Port won’t win by 150 points tonight and therefore, we are officially in the final 8.

[Gator 18,055]

Wattsy starring with 3 handballs at quarter time.
