Eagles cannot be as bad as they are performing.

Almost makes one wish we had relegation to keep some honesty in the competition

Tanking for sure. They want the No 1 draft pick and No 1 pre season draft pick to land an un contracted big fish as a back up if they can’t do a trade. We should be nervous.

Have commentators been given a directive not to comment on umpiring errors?

Crows v WCE ... 3rd goal, blatant throw to Soligo who kicked the goal. Perhaps the umpires were blindsided (all 3 of them!!), but the commentators Healy + others said nothing. 

Same as last night. There was a lot of throwing from both sides.

Hadn't thought of that but makes sense

Their list is in a dreadful state. They should go to the draft and use those picks on 2 good young players not bundle for one.

How so?

They turned a pick in the mid 20’s into the 2 best years of Kelly’s career, then traded him out at his most valuable which gave them the points to get Cameron. If Kelly wasn’t so highly rated at the time they’d never get Cameron. If Kelly was traded today they’d not get those points.

Pity we have a censor as I really would like to say EXACTLY what I think of him but I always play by the rules.

Matty Rowell is only 20yo still! Feels like a he’s been around years. Hope he can get his mojo back and stay fit

But they gave up 3 first round picks for Cameron. They thought the list was better than it was and that Cameron would be their answer to Riewoldt and Lynch.

Well whether or not you think they did the right thing is a whole other argument (which I agree with), but I’m more suggesting Geelong got what they wanted, and got very lucky to get it, and the Eagles made a list destroying decision.

Especially because he was 4 at the time.

Brisbane might pinch our top spot today.  

Ginnivan paid a free for the same thing Spaz got called holding the ball last night. Corrupt or incompetent?

A strict free kick filth policy has been implemented today. The umpire closest to the play clearly forgot that, however another umpire 40 metres away rectified that by paying the free kick.

No free kick paid to Sicily for the same thing in Q2 leading to a filth goal.

I have found the definition of "prattling"; it's Lyon's overanalysis of every piece of play. I know he's the special comments guy, but he never shuts up. Reiwoldt is much better ... Hilarious comment pre game by Lyon ... the match between Oliver and Jiath is a match up for the ages. Really? 

Hawks right back in this. game on

Newcombe has to be the favourite for the rising star. He is going to be a great player.  

Crazy free kicks are the order of the weekend

Shocking free kick given against the pies which gives the Hawks the lead. Far out that was bad

Jack Ginnivan: guernsey - much too short and much too tight. And shorts - big and baggy.  
Fashion statement, or no mirror in the rooms?

Umpires have been given a new directive ... free kick poos/wees
