Can anyone tell me why he wears a black sleeve on his left arm? Have I missed something?

it’s a compression sleeve. 

think he is better now and it is a bit of a signature like MJ’s one glove.

On AFL360 he said it was to give a little bit of protection to the arm and the scarring caused by a serious post-op infection. Probably helps him mentally as well given the serious nature of the break and the wound suffered.  Impressive by him to come back as he has.

the Pies are winning based on system. They have some average players out there. 

How good was it to see Cox crack the naannies on the bench?

Moore 8 clangers!

JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

They were just outplayed tonight 

Have you tried to catch a domestic flight lately? I reckon you’d spend 3 hours on a plane to fly from tulla to Essendon ! 

[dees189227 12,394]

How about the peanut who obviously has way to much money and dropped a mill on the pies to win weeks ago to get back 400k. Who's laughing now 

[Fritta and Turner 4,432]

I thought the Pies were slightly off their game from the first bounce.

Sidebottom was moving like a glacier.

And De Goooooey, terrible disposal and couldn't break the tackle of an auskicker

Are they tiring? There last 3 rounds are tough games. Hopefully they cop a few injuries and get bundled out in straight sets…..the only thing better than that is us winning the flag. In fact the trifecta is the Pies going out, us winning and then getting Harley Reid. Can you imagine the celebrations? I mean seriously, that’s a life changing chain of events. Anything after that is of little consequence.

go Dee’s, unleash Hell

So, can I be first to declare the opening of Colliwobble season?

Bit early this year, but climate change is messing up all of these natural cycles.

If there was any side that could have outbrownnosed Collingwood it would have to have been Carlton.

Do frees against count as clangers? Moore gave away a few frees in the last.

C'mon man.
They were on fire early.
Marking everything in the F50 and kicked 2.2 before Carlton scored.

Also got a few doggy frees which helped. UMPIRE ALERT. Watch for #23. Some weird interpretations.

I really don't want Power to win the minor premiership. 

Were Pies fatigued last night or are Carlton a good side. Was their Power win legit or did Power rest too many players?

They have had some soft opposition of late but they did look good last night. They have a good run home from here too.

No chance port will finish top.  

Tough game tonight, cats at kp next week.

Easy last three games, but they are effectively 3 games behind the pies - 8 points plus 20 odd percentage. 

Even if they don't lose another game, pies would have to drop 3 of their last 4 games.

Don't think it will be a tough game for them tonite. No Rankine or Roshellli for the crows is a huge loss.

What's going on in the Geelong - Freo game? Not free-to-air where I am, and I just flicked through stats and noticed 15 hit-outs already - on target for about 150 for the game!

Is that that much of a slog down there?

No doubt there was.
Always is nowadays.
I won't be watching it again though.

[DubDee 25,902]

Geez GWS are spineless. 

Dogs double their contested possessions in the first Q  don’t think i’ve ever seen that  

bloody soft effort with finals on the line

[ElDiablo14 5,000]

Geelong is not playing with the urgency of a team fighting for a spot in the 8.

[dees189227 12,394]

Go sydney tonight. Hope Buddy tears it up and breaks the dons fans hearts again 

[Diamond_Jim 12,592]

Regulation first quarters in both games.

Hopefully same for us tomorrow

PS..........that didn't age well

Come on Cats

Jeremy Cameron can’t be fit. He’s gone from the best player in the comp to completely ineffectual.

[DubDee 25,902]

Mooney keeps saying someone’s out of the game with HIA. WTF is that?

google tells me hiatus hernia but i have my doubts!

[DubDee 25,902]

Cats defence is amateur. Freo cutting through with ease. 

screw draft picks, would love the Cats to miss finals!
