Go coach the Saints Rob.....at least that would be bearable.

Cox as the sub. That’s a terrible choice.   Tanking???

Going to the Qlash today. Should have been watching our boys at Metricon but anyway.

Feel your pain. We can't go to the G either obviously. Covid is a biatch

Should be a good game in Metricon today though. You can provide a scouting report on the Suns. They've been playing well and will be difficult opponents for us next week

Watching other top 4 teams put away bottom sides vs us struggling go figure

28 points is hardly putting a team away.

We beat the Dogs by 28.

If the news report is correct that Pendlebury has a broken leg that could be the end of a great career.

Amazingly consistent contributor. I suspect he would make a good line coach if he decides to go that way.

why do people assume a good player will make a good coach?

how do you teach someone how to move thru traffic like pendles?

Start of rd I led the work tipping by 4.

I took Pies over Carlton. My best mate said Blues would win and that Pies are tanking. I asked why, you’ve already got Daicos and you just beat the Tigers. His answer was to use less points. I honestly believe they had the better team going into last week yet seemingly went home at 3/4 time.

Took Lions over Tigers, must of been only person not aware it was Reiwoldt’s 300th game. Still after being burnt by tigers four weeks running I jumped off, also thought Lions would have point to prove.

Headed into this week with a 2 point lead.

We have to have our tips in 2 days before first game, so I took Carlton, then McKay pulls out yesterday. I was seriously considering taking North before this but with things so close went back to the North/Hawks/Pies will tank from here on in theory….

Took it each way in a few multis, very interested to see how this plays out.

Just saw 2 players run within a couple of metres of the player with the mark and then a player swung 360 with the ball and then hold it, while he booked an uber and guess what, play on, nothing to see here. I think back to Gawn’s 50 penalty last week, which cost a goal, when he was about 30 metres from the player with the mark and was following his man and the Tracc holding the ball, after a 1 second tackle on him.

I have loved the consistency of umpiring this season.

[BDA 22,751]

hopefully Suns can do us a favor here and knock over the Lions

Misses a simple 15 meter set-shot and in the next play goals with the overhead kick. Classic Daniher

Umpiring up to 2021 standard I see

It's a long way better than a loss to bottom six sides or a draw against Hawthorn who  have not been able to beat time with a stick.

Carlton are still coming…

Huge round for us.

If we lose and Brisbane and Sydney both win, we'll be 1.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come. Puts our top 4 spot in the most jeopardy it's been for the entire season.

But of course, if we win and Brisbane and Sydney both lose, we'll be 3.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come, which means we'd only have to win one more game for the rest of the season to lock in the top 4.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Still not convinced Carlton have a good list, on this showing they need a lot. And Davies-Uniacke is becoming a serious player.

Are they tanking to get a bottom pick for Cerra?  Petrevski Seton wanted by Dockers and together with a high pick and something else, might get a deal done.

PS: I know players don’t tank.

There's no way they're tanking.

For one, they're not going to slide lower than one more spot on the ladder. So it's a one pick benefit.

For another, they were still, going into this week, very much in the finals race. If the favourites win this weekend Carlton would, with a win, end up one game out of the 8.

No one does brain fades like Joe daniher

It’s possible. But I doubt it. The Coach is under the sword so i would expect the players to be going hard. 
They are just a very average list that is paid way too much

Just a matter of when rather than if. Can't totally blame him in a way, that panel he has looks like a very very weak one, but he's the boss so he pays the cost.
