For the first time I can think of Geelong is the lesser of two evils here. It also helps I won't have to watch Tom Hawkins waddle around.

And then he prances around high-tenning all of his teammates with a big [censored] eating grin after kicking a goal from 1m out

You really do like him don’t you. 😃

I was thinking why would anyone pick north and then I remembered we're playing north and thought why would anyone pick north.

I'm crippled with MFCSS and even I couldn't pick North.

If we do lose to North, we will witness the greatest rise of MFCSS since 186.

Maybe G Cornes was just being loyal as he played a season or two with the Shinboners.

I'm still hoping we win all our games, including a big percentage earner on Sunday, Coll. don't win by much tomorrow, and lose the next three.  Meanwhile Port lose one game, and Bris don't have any percent boosters......and we end up minor Premiers!!!

I know it doesn't matter if we're first or second....but I quite like being minor Premiers. Last time we went on and won the Major prize!!

@WheeloRatings has us a 1.8% chance of being Minor Premiers. Sounds about right to me.

I can't understand why Richmond are 'managing' Dusty tonight. This is a must win game for them. It would have made more sense to rest him last week as they had more chance of beating Western Bulldogs with him in the side than beating Melbourne with him in. Having said that, I assume he must have picked up a niggle last weekend. It doesn't make sense otherwise.

Emma Kearney in The Age picks North every week, usually by 1 or 2 points. She is currently last on 104 , the leader is on 120. If she'd picked against North every week, she'd be leading the competition on 122.

Loyalty has its downside.

He was completely gassed in the last quarter.

Maybe they know he couldn't back up and would be a liability in terms of not being able to cover ground.

With the way the tigers are playing- up and down the ground, fast transition and ball in motion they can't afford to plonk dusty in the goal square and be down a runner.

Same goes for cotchin

Now Grimes is a late out for the Tigers

Fair enough, but Dusty at 50% is still ahead of 90% of the rest of the Richmond team, especially given Western Bulldogs are missing significant players in their backline: Alex Keath (Injured), Josh Bruce (Injured), Ryan Gardner (Injured), although Liam Jones and Ed Richards are back.

As far as Cotchin is concerned, I don't think he's even in their best 22 so him being managed is probably neither here nor there.

I didn't say it was likely we'd finish so high, but possible.

I always hope for the best.

Sounds like you hold no hope!

I think we'll finish second, don't believe that is no hope, just realistic.

Do footy players go through some media training that make them inclined or contracted to use the word obviously?

Retro round.....a couple of beers and a durry at half time.
