Any game decided by less than a goal is worth watching. That was so exciting!

Would have preferred an Adelaide win

Yeah Freo could easily be 4-0 with their draw. 

Umpires tried hard but well done Freo.

Freo’s Jordan Clark kicked a super goal in Q2 which he started from halfback, followed up and finished beautifully.   Hope he goes well and the Cats rue not playing him last year which may have precipitated his exit. 

Great away win by Freo.   They have quite a bit of talent at Cockburn.  A few early season injuries to negotiate but a 2022 improver for sure.

At least this has been a good round with evenly matched sides going up against each other. 
Essendon aside, highest winning margin is ours at 26 points so far.

GC$ over WCE could give it a push.  

Inane comments and a truly grating voice.  Can anyone cite any positives?

She’s not BT

Don't know why but I am interested for the eagles and suns game. With the eagle injury list one would think that the suns should win but how often do we see a developing side play against an undermanned home side and still come up short.

I presume the sparse crowd is due to covid restrictions

Gold Coast will never ever have a better opportunity to win interstate than tonight.

Dunno Jaded. I'll never quite erase the Balme to Neeld years. The Balme years are actually underrated in my view for their absolute awfulness.

1994 ??

Kennedy gives away a free. Swears. No 50. 
Kennedy gets out marked and encroaches on the mark. No 50. 
Umpiring going beautifully as per usual. 

If suns can’t beat this eagles side they might as well hand the keys to Clarkson tomorrow

Stadium has 50% limit there, besides WC has heaps of fair weather supporters 

Blimey nic nat looks unfit. Must be at least 10kg overweight 

Suns skill level horrible. Hard yakka when every disposal puts your team mate under the pump. Weagles will win this with half their firsts missing because they seem to be much better drilled.

Gold Coast. Oh dear. 

Umps paying free kicks against the Eagles. How novel

How come the commentators aren’t using the proper names for the ground, such as the ‘Petracca pocket’, and the ‘bang bang bang end’? 

I’m not watching WC v GC but quickly looked at stats on afl.com.  They credit GC with 13 scoring shots from 19 inside 50s for 4.3.  Is that a mistake or have they kicked 6 OOB?

He’s elite at the buffet stats, that’s for sure. 

Just got home and switched on the box to find GC are getting pantsed by WC reserves. As a sporting non entity they'd be up there with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL. 

9 points is getting pantsed?

Gee Jayden Stephenson is a liability.

I have actually found the game entertaining but these two teams are bottom 4 for sure. Sullied by the incredibly poor skill level and Hawthorn winning.

Along with Polec, an absolute dud on good coin. I feel for Norf . . . we were them not so long ago. Taking the crumbs off the table.

If these 2 teams win more than 10 games between them this season I would be shocked.

Norf will win more games than Whorethorn IMHO. There are some good young players on their list. Not so many down at Gold Taps Grove,.
