You know you're having a bad season when a draw increases your percentage by 3%.

I'd go as far to say it's impossible. ?

Hawks playing okay. The SCG is a shizen ground for footy. Why couldn't we play the filth at giants stadium ?

They probably thought the SCG would get more neutrals (ie: Swans Supporters) through the gates but I doubt it will.

Would be huge if Hawthorn gets this win.

Look at Richmond's draw from here. They've been given an absolute platter.

They can easily slot into top 4.

Well to be fair to them, they'e already played six top 8 sides, but yes, after this week they only have two more to come.

Frosty. Gotta love his enthusiasm and athleticism, but not his higher cerebral functions. ?

Free kick Hawthorn in full flight. 21-9 at 3/4 time, Swans getting murdered by the umpires

Yes … the numbers are as stated, but how many have been wrong, or even “controversial”?

This game looks over.

Sydney's next four are Port (away), West Coast, the Dogs (away) and GWS (away). They only have three games left for the season at the SCG (given they had one flipped to last week).

If they drop those four games, they'll be 8-9.

They'll likely win at least one, but this will hurt their top 4 chances.

Is this result good for us ??

Sydney are not really threatening for the flag but this might give the tigers a sniff of the top 4

Anyone beats anyone on their day.

So,

1. Adelaide result not so bad?

2. Beware Dees. Every week.

That's right.

Starting this week vs Collingwood.

Sydney's 3-1 against the top 8, but they're now 5-4 against the bottom 10.

They also have a great set of double-up games: not one of them is against the top 8 (GWS, GC, Fremantle, Essendon, St Kilda).

There have been at least two games that Sydney has been lucky to win.

The thing I really don’t get is the 7 commentary alluding to Sydney getting a raw deal with the umps. Please

This result has zero relevance to us at all.

Got to hand it to Clarko. he is a genius they way he plans for games. As some of the media said clarko has had 10 days to plan for this and how to beat Sydney. It is a good win. 

Jai Newcombe 12 tackles in his first game after getting taken in the mid season draft a few weeks ago. There is a kid that just wants to play footy and will grab his chance and make the most of his opportunity.

Spot on.

Top four competition is coming from Dogs, Brisbane, Geelong, Richmond and Port. I'm not at all sold on Port.

Record vs top 8 sides:

  1. Melbourne - 5-0
  2. Geelong - 4-2
  3. Sydney - 3-1
  4. Dogs - 3-2
  5. Brisbane - 2-4
  6. West Coast - 1-2
  7. Port - 1-4
  8. Richmond - 1-5

Richmond is Richmond, so they should always be feared, but they need to prove themselves against top 8 sides in 2021.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
