Chol was huge tonight, better performance than I thought he was capable of.

Lazy, and really really dumb.

That is underselling peanuts.

Good result tonight.

If we go 4-2 for the rest of the year, we sow up a top 3 spot and avoid a week 1 interstate trip.

The destiny is well and truly in our own hands and we only have ourselves to blame if we drop games to one or more of Hawthorn, GC , West coast or Adelaide.

Yes he is - and he has lots of company.

Tonight James Brayshaw described the way in which Harris Andrews knocked the ball over the boundary line as being "laconic".

BT, in his infinite wisdom, agreed. "Yes that was laconic". 

Brayshaw is a serial offender - could someone please direct him to dictionary.com. He may well stop embarrassing himself should he learn the meaning of the word.

Guy hasn't won the hardball when a match was on the line in his career. At least 2/3 of his career goals must have been in junk-time.

I take from your comments you don't like him, and he isn't my favourite by a long stretch, but I think this is way off the mark.

[dl4e 5,851]

Richmond did us a favour this week and thankyou. However they will come a cropper against geelong and no longer be relevant for the year. If we finish 3rd does not matter as it will be against bulldogs or that rubbish from geelong. Don't want to play the bears or Port at their home grounds.

Yeah, that’s right… he only kicked those six goals and played a brilliant 300th game, because he wanted all of the attention ??. 

What a ridiculous comment! The guy is an absolute star!

You don’t watch a lot of games other than Dees games, do you.

That’s being generous!

[whatwhat say what 22,305]

riewoldt has been, and remains, one of the best key forwards in the competition for a long, long time

we picked frawley the pick before he was selected, i seem to recall?

Look sure, it was a dumb comment. He's a great player, but I'm still entitled to dislike the guy. Joel Selwood's a gun too, but I can't stand him either!

His off-field persona just puts me off. I still remember his comments last year decrying how outrageous it was that players were asked to take a modest paycut to keep the AFL afloat, while coaches and support staff were losing their jobs entirely (not to mention how tone-deaf it was at a time when so many ordinary people were losing jobs and businesses were going broke). Really sullied my opinion of the guy, that's all.

Yes, and for a while we thought we were the winners in that one. 

Maybe the compo pick from Frawley helps balance it a bit.

Yep that's fair enough

[dee-tox 4,835]

I'll be happy if Brisbane finish third or fourth. They lack leadership, pace and midfield depth. We have them easily covered.

As an aside I'd love McCluggage to announce he wants to return to Victoria and nominate the Dees. Great player.

You misspelt muppet. What a [censored] that bloke is.

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,762]

A lot of results have gone our way over the last couple of rounds. We have a real opportunity to lock in a top two or top four spot.

He took a couple big marks early in the 1st Grand Final win.
Missed the shots but he was huge getting them going.
Earned abit of my respect that game.

Fair enough; I didn’t have any issue with your opinion of him as an individual, but thought your targeting of his abilities as a player were way off the mark.

Right result for us last night. Reckon us Cats and Doggies will finish top 3 now and avoid the inter-state qualifying final (although who knows where and even when we'll be playing finals).

Riewoldt has had a stellar career. 300 games and 700+ goals speaks for itself. He deserved to play and celebrate his great achievement at the G last night

He's also a sook and a crybaby and has played in one of the most dislikeable teams ever to grace the game (and as for his advice to Kozzie earlier in the season - he can stick it)

[DeeZee 7,347]

What we have to worry about is reduced seating capacity due to Covid may see a final played in Geelong , so we definitely don’t want them finishing above us.

[BDA 22,402]

Great day of footy coming up. We've an interest in all the games.

saints are playing well so hopefully can get up against port.

Suns are in great touch and are a chance to spring a surprise against the doggies. If they can get the job done i might even change my mind about disbanding them

A crunching collision with Mitch Robinson. Totally accidental. Kidney injuries can be very serious. Could be missing a long time.

[whatwhat say what 22,305]

that's awful news re dusty; he's mostly had a blessed run of lack of any injury throughout his career

was it tom lonergan who lost a kidney after a clash with brad miller?
