That's it!  Thanks.

I wonder when they Geelong will realise their % doesn't matter.  Maybe they are just showing off...

What this shows is another distortion in the fixture.  Non-finals contending teams usually have youngsters who tire at seasons end, with nothing to play for.  They put the cue in the rack.  If finals contending teams get 2 or 3 games in the last few rounds vs them they can get easy wins/boost %.   Geelong have had two very easy wins and added about 20% to their percentage = Automatic entre to finals.

Would be some good viewing. More interested in that one than the Freo and Pies game.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the Cats undoing in the end. Come finals time it will be a full month since their last tough game against Hawthorn.

I'd rather our run home than Geelong's any day.

Gee pretty good that, no matter who you play against that’s actually impressive.

[dees189227 12,453]

Would love to see the dogs get up

[GCDee 3,200]

Gee this female umpire is quite bad at her job. Surely she wont get a final

I guess, but i reckon we can do that in 1q. Anyway, time will tell Layzie.

[Clintosaurus 7,926]

Pies getting lots of frees early

If they finish 7th LH they wouldnt play us if we won and finish 5th?? No??

You're right....NO

8th v 5th

7th v 6th

[Lord Travis 10,793]

Dogs definitely deserved to beat Richmond there. Unlucky to hit the post so many times!

Late in the season we have seen Richmond are clearly beatable at the MCG. I'd back 3-4 teams to beat them come finals time now, and I'm convinced they won't win the flag again. They're nowhere near as good the media makes out and I'd love for us to get a crack at them!

Gallant effort from the Dogs. 

[Jibroni 5,035]

Looks like game over already at Subiaco. Freo are porridge.
