let's hope they don't find form next week

Dogs play totally different to us. It’ll be a different game.

Those dogs sure know how to put it through the big sticks

A very uninspiring set of fixtures today. A north win over the bombers would be funny but tbh i'm not in the humor to laugh at other clubs today given our pathetic performance last night

Hope to see nth & the giants win.

Was listening to the radio when Ugle-Hagan took a mark and kicked his 1st goal.
Commentators went off their heads about how spectacular the mark was.
How high, all jump blah, blah, blah.
So to the video tape I went.
Geez, they carp on.

Outside of Our Daisy and one or two others, the media are basically clueless.

The only result that could really impact us is if GWS beats Sydney.

Why can’t these teams like North and Hawthorn just die, what happened to the good old days of teams tanking and you could make easy money as a punter….

Yuck, there’s just something about St Kilda that I struggle to like.

Really CB? I really can’t understand why you’d struggle to like a mob that has a profound history of cheating, chronic inter-generational ineptitude and racism, and multiple players being charged with rape. I’m truly flummoxed.

The easy money these days seems to be betting on long shots that pay $4 and over especially if they play us. Sometime I wonder if there is a perverse corrupt relationship between gambling and sport. Nah couldn’t happen…..could it?

But it’s Essendon! An Essendon loss is always funny. Always. Because… Essendon.

True,  but I'd prefer they keep Richmond out of the 8 so (with great reluctance) I hope they beat Norf.

Is this right… if Essendon win today, and win well, they’ll be in the eight (on %) ? If so, I really hope they lose because I’d rather have seven Richmonds in the eight than one Essendon.

He dropped it !!!

Goal kicking in this game is worse than last night

I think I just don’t like their jumper.

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

is devon smith the least likeable player in the competition?

[Jaded No More 68,974]

I’m on a self imposed football ban today. I can’t stomach AFL today. 

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Come on Roos.....3pts down...

They don't need to win by anything much - right now, 3 points up, they're in the 8 on percentage (although both West Coast and GWS can pass them if they win today).

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,274]

I'm hoping WC and GWS win today to overtake Richmond.

Yeah pretty sour on footy. Been a real Netflix day. 

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

As the ladder currently stands we have beaten every side in the top 8 including us.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

If the Eagles can’t beat the Crows with a place in the 8 on the line….

They're playing like a bottom 4 side

which means they'll probably beat us

[titan_uranus 25,045]

Would have loved to see a Carlton loss to really get the natives restless but alas in classic Carlton style they've put in two quarters of tripe but will win the game off the back of 20 minutes of AFL-quality football.

With a win they won't move up from 13th but they'll only be a game and around 10% out of the 8 with five to play. Their last five are North, St Kilda, Gold Coast, Port and GWS, with only one of those games being away from Marvel.
