So many clubs I just wish would let go of the raft and sink into oblivion.

Did I use up all my credits cursing West Coast and Hawthorn?

Divine favour well spent to be sure, but still, what animal do I need to sacrifice to make Collingwood falter and finish outside the 8 on percentage?

Realistically they could lose their last 4 games (Blues, Swans, Lions and finally to us) and in the process give up their spot to a late-surging Lions who also have a draw.

They'll need another draw for that to be a possibility, Goffy.

Nice to contemplate...

Brisbane have a draw!

Also Essendon and the Crows, but Brisbane is my top candidate, especially with them playing the Magpies in the second-last round just for added drama.

Hi 640MD. I remember him. He wore a torn up old red & blue cap to our games and was part of the 'grog squad' that stood behind the cheer squad with Ian Ball and 'Animal' in the 1980's. I started running the CS with some friends from around the mid 80's when we sat near the race in the Northern Stand. From memory our immediate predecessors were the Galvins and a guy called Peter Burley? It sounds like you were from the era before them maybe?

Yes sounds like John   the grog squad

Ah, I see what you're saying: beaten out by one of their 3 current co-draw-ers (or any new ones in this crazy season!) Those 3 need to make up a bit of percentage but, yes, nice.

So Collingwood basically have no forward line, injuries, yet still find ways to win. 

Going back to that rankine call, did the ump not see him bounce it the 1st time? You can usually tell when someone runs to far. It just didn't look like it

I think that’s what happened. That’s not even close to having run too far, especially in the modern game.

Thats a clear, critical mistake from the umpire. I’d say he didn’t see his first bounce.

I don’t understand the point of 4 umpires if one of them can’t over turn that. I don’t blame the umpire for making a mistake. He couldn’t see the bounce. I thought that was the point of the other 3.

I think we’ll be lucky to make a prelim with our forward line. Still plenty of time but having suffered these issues for the last 2 years I don’t hold much hope especially with our underperforming midfield.

How did Kozzy get a week for his hit to Soligo when he got up and kept playing, yet all these other hits like Newman and Warner are just getting a fine for the similar acts and impact? Garbage 🗑

And there seems a complete lack of desire (or opportunity) for the umpires to ever consult on clear mistakes. It’s is like they are fearful of each other. Only time it seems to happen is boundary line throwing (other than arc).  They would be encouraged not to but maybe in the last 2 minutes of each quarter (or game) they can? Of course, very little will change, if anything. Like when umpire does bad bounce at start of a quarter. Why don’t they reset the clock??? Rant over.

So fox footy showed he ran 24 metres. It just didn't look like it.

What has happened to the giants? They've dropped off a lot

Great to see Harmesy having a real dip in the last few weeks. Still got a lot of love for the lad.

Why did Goodwin let Harmes go?  

[whatwhat say what 22,747]

bedford's field kicking has been diabolically bad

[Demon_spurs 1,852]

Boy 6.19 is pretty average kicking

The Giants have been horrible.

Harmes was stale needed a change , it’s Jordan that should have stayed & we have Hunter & Schache who can’t get a game

Putting them through the big sticks when everyone else is spraying them. 
And I reckon the Giants would be goalless if Hogan wasn’t playing.
