This will make most Essendon supporters sleep a little uneasy tonight. Keep dashing hopes you Giants.

GWS feel like they've kicked about 10 goals from the goalsquare in the last couple of games.

Schadenfreude is in overdrive. 

My attempt at the ladder predictor I did last night.

Perhaps Hardwick should make the move? Give Lynch a run on the ball?

Oh well, they've enjoyed a run that history will view very strongly.

A team that won 3 flags and turned the league on its head in terms of re-defining defensive pressure. Well done to them.

 

Now, if only West Coast could do us a favor and implode in a similar manner.

Nice to see that the work experience kid is still at AFL House despite lockdown.

Tigers - yellow and black.  Umpires - yellow and black.  

It just beggars belief when they could have gone with fluoro green, light blue or even white for the umps.

On the money again Stone. For such a professional organisation, the umpire's chosen attire is regularly colour-blind.

Is it just me or are all the Richmond players porky??

(...& yes I'm porky)

Hard to believe tiges won the last two flags.

Just turned the sound on as I’d been watching on mute whilst doing other things. I now regret that move.

thought you meant the move to the boardroom with his resignation letter.  

GWS is missing Greene, Green, Coniglio, Davis, Daniels, Finlayson, Hill and Reid (along with some season-ending injuries to Flynn, Keeffe and Buckley).

They could be a handful come finals. If they beat Carlton next week that puts them in prime position for 7th and potentially a final vs Sydney, the best draw possible for them.

They look good, but I'm sure a lot of it is due to Richmond being just absolutely pathetic.

And Geelong

Regardless of outcome and who gets it - this statue on the mark rule is just so absolutely counterintuitive.   
I know some like it but a 50 penalty for running backwards or a step sideways is just such an overkill. 

The Stand rule is rubbish. Man the mark and you can move if you like - UNLESS the umpire calls Stand. If you hear that you can’t move. If you hear him say play on you can move. 

ridiculous that the rule is based on the ability of a player to hear the ump. Could be trouble on GF day

This might have been fair to say in Round 1.

But it's Round 22. No excuses. Stand on the mark, don't move. It's not hard.

There haven’t been many of them but I’d hate to lose a game or a final because of it. 

Looks like we’ll be playing the Cats on Saturday night next week.

Don't mind Daisy's observations and analysis at all! Knowledgeable and informative. To a lesser extent, ditto for Lepper.

But BT and JB? Yeah. Nah. Hopeful and misplaced drama their default.
