Your tips please. Who takes the final spot in the 8? Are we a sneaky chance?

I’ve gone:

Collingwood

St Kilda

North 

Geelong 

GWS

Eagles

Bulldogs 

Richmond

Port

Bar horrible umpiring, I think Richmond v Brisbane and West Coast v Hawthorn will be crackers.

I think the AFL has done a good job in giving Brisbane 2 matches this week considering their non-existent injury list.

They have a 15 hour break between games and a short flight to the west. They better not whine.

I think the top 4 will be interesting. I expect Brissy will get done by Richmond and West coast will beat Hawthorn. This is where % will play a part. between w/c and brissy. I hope Brissy get a home final but may have to play the eagles over there.

This round is big in the South Australian context.

Could see the demise of one if not two coaches.

I reckon Hinkley has more to worry about. We’ll know by the end of Port’s game whether or not the players want him gone or not. 

On another note, from a reliable source I was told that at the start of the season, the Fremantle players were all told not to expect to play finals this season. Odd.

Essendrug blatant Tanking before the bye.

Brilliant!!

Filth v drug cheats. Not watching/listening, nor checking the scores.

Who do I want to win? It would be like choosing between typhoid and cholera.

Dropping like flies at the G and what in the world was Varcoe thinking there? He was 5 metres out.

yep very strange

Was a nice high scoring game for a while and now...nothing

Much as I hate to say it, Drugsters being screwed by maggots.  

How was that a 50 to Moore when he actively tried not to take the returned ball?

Clearly we need to either get bigger louder crowds, or buy an amplifier to shout “baaaallllllll” whenever we lay a tackle even if it is disposed.

It was paid  for abuse

Geez we are going well in the cricket. 

English are 6/49. 

Go Aussies. 

Football sucks, I can’t believe both these teams are going to be playing finals. 

It's like neither team is trying to win this. Constant misses this quarter.

If these sides are playing finals   well we don't need to improve that much.   Well I know we do need to improve but both these sides are terrible, just shows how lowly we played    Not looking forward to tmorra

This side is in the top 4 right now. Putrid stuff. Is that the quality of the competition right now?

Have we dragged the others down?

That's a good question. 

Two weeks ago a decimated Melbourne side played Collingwood at the same venue and lost by 17 points while, last night, an equally decimated Essendon lost by 11 points last night. 

The Demons had 18 shots at goal to the Pies 20. Last night it was the Bombers 15 to 26 and yet they are in the finals, the Pies can still make top 4 and we're way out of it. The other teams have had their share of injuries of late but they haven't been blighted by them the way we have.

In a way, it sums up the season for us.

If only essenscum had lost last week or to nth or Sydney.  They would have missed finals probably.  Hopefully they go out week1. 

Hopefully Richmond and west coast win and knock the pies out of the top 4

Ryan and Rioli, both so exciting to watch, both electric and skilful. We don’t need one small crumbing forward, we need two.
