Nothing finer than watching Collingwood get belted. They were the second weakest premiers of this century behind Bulldogs 2016. A shame that neanderthal Maynard made it through the match unscathe

Yes, we bemoan losing Hogan, but without May we don’t win the ‘21 flag.

I went to our game Thursday and again tonight  I have to say that I do have a soft spot for GWS mainly because both Hogan and Bedford were favs - both played very very well tonight  It was a

This will be one of the great chokes in a Season if Vegas lose this. I am actually shocked after watching the first 40 minutes. They absolutely had Carlton on the ropes, playing fast aggressive footy 

Bathwater?

Weren’t we into Acres at one point? Solid winger can take a great mark. 

Probably, but never realistically in the picture for whatever reason. That trade was baffling and has to be draft tampering. Carlton gave up a future third round pick for Acres, who had just been Freos best player in the finals before exit. He's a good footballer and has toweled us up a few times now.

Just goes to show preseason matches are completely and utterly irrelevant. We belted Carlton last week. They come out next week in the real stuff and best Brisbane up at the gabba. We come out and roll over to the Swans.

And we smashed this mob last week.

They were obviously resting during it.

Maybe we should have as well.

I guess they realised nothing’s won in February.

The Blues have had a ripping summer by all accounts.

Makes me sick seeing Carlton leapfrog past us this past year. The only difference between us is they play fast aggressive football with ball in hand and can hit leading forward targets.

That was a really good game of footy, and as much as I hate to say it, a great win from the Blues. 

Dees take note - foot skills create wins.

Bears' massive choke - Normanic proportions.   

Were the Bears cocky or the Blues inspired?

What do you mean the only difference?

They have a midfield that is as good as ours if not better (with Walsh to come back), a forward line with a generational FF, a powerful CHF and proper small forwards, and a defence which has Weitering to come back. 

They have forward half talent we’d kill for and they maximise that talent.

I love the movement and presentation of olayera from both sides. We look really stagnant in front of the ball apart from a few passages.

It’s going to be one of those wacky years folks.
Everyone thought Carlton was dead after a quarter and a half of footy. 

Loooooong way to go

Kiddy Coleman was a huge out for Brissy. They didn’t have anyone in the backline with a cool head to quieten the game down. He is also one of the best field kicks. Unironically made a big difference losing him.

Lyon saying the conditions were humid and tough to play in? If that’s true then we have no excuse for how we played. Both teams looked like they were in completely dry weather tonight. 
 

WTF

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
