With all due respect to the Gold Coast Suns and Tony Cochring, if you're delisting a player like Jarryd Lyons, you can't be given a priority pick.

Yep and further this kid was on Melbourne Radar and we inexplicably overlooked him! His Dad was Marty Lyons whose first game of AFL VS Hawks netted him 4 goals I think on debut! Kid can play!

Great to see Stefan Martin give a great performance in the ruck. Though he had less than average opposition as Geelong rely on Dangerfield and Co to win the clearances the hard way he changed his game up in the last 15 minutes in the stop start finale. He mixed it up beautifully with great tap work, out muscling his opponents and powerful knock ons to give his players the advantage to charge back from 18 points down. GAWN TAKE NOTE!  Also where once he was labeled as being a bit soft, he is now a tackling machine and 15 of his 16 possessions were contested. Fagan has turned  him into an awesome weapon.

Derwayne is out of control with Carlton love today.

I saw the last 10 or so minutes of this match and was disgusted by the pro Carlton commentary.

I still can't understand that we let Howe go.  I get he held out for more coin wanted to play mote time forward etc but he was coming on nicely and just maturing.  Who cares just find the $.  Couldve freed up some cap by delisting the likes of O-Mac & ANB etc.

We put so much work in then let him wander down the road to star and sure up the Pies backline.

Great X factor mark/intercept player and we have very few now who can muster a contested mark.

Crazy club that just doesn't get it in so many ways.

I am more disgusted with their desire to win unlike us.

Why would you hang on to an intercept defender when you can give up two first rounders for one with bad knees?

@Rusty Nails - 'Mate'  - it's never the club as a whole per se  - it's individuals decision making at the time... it's a fallacy to mix the two.

Im pretty sure it was more of him wanting to leave and get success somewhere else. He grew up a pies supporter and remember bucks promised to play him forward. The day he went to collingwood he went on and on how excited he was to play for the club he grew up barracking for and his family were rapt. Nothing would have kept him.

In his last couple of seasons with us he played like he didn’t give a Faarque anyway. Would have fitted in nicely in our yesterday’s side. He was a lost cause.

Well, after enduring (half) a gut-wrenching game last night, had the pleasure of a family outing to the G today. Very impressed with how both sides went about it. Ratten had the Saints clearance machine purring and their ball movement was good too. Carlton’s big men just that bit better, so they got the chocolates.

We were deplorable last night with nothing much to play for, no excuse I know but what is going on with Port? Really struggling to get a score on the board. God help us next week in Hobart!

To be fair, I think he had a man crush on Figgy and the Chins.

Don't worry, we have a new found backman       Mr Spargo. He can play on him.

If teams around the 8 keep losing their could be a team in the 8 with 10 wins and 12 losses!

bombers in the 8 even if they lose both now. Most likely

Crows can find themselves back in 8th if Port keep this rubbish up. They’ve already lost 4%.

Two years ago, every conceivable result conspired against us to ensure we missed finals. 

This year, every conceivable result has conspired to ensure Essendon make the finals.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
