If Tmac is gonna retire this season, I would like to see him go out in a blaze of glory by kicking Cox square in the nuts. 

Agree. but only after he pulverises Maynard

I wanted both to lose so bad. and one of them did so YAY!

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,315]

I feel sick ... 🤮

Pendlebury has been a great player. 400 games is an amazing achievement.

And he played well tonight. i reckon he'll go around again.

What a terrible weekend

Hopefully freo can knock off essendon.  That would be something positive 

[John Demonic 5,900]

Carlton & Collingwood both missing the 8 is the dream scenario. Step in the right direction tonight Landers. Let's get something out of this season!

That sucks. I see Darcknee Moore managed to get a knee into a Carlton bloke’s ribs there in the last minutes. Can someone line him up in our last game please. 

[dees189227 12,453]

If only carlton could kick straight

Nah that honour I’m reserving to junior boxing champion Jake Melksham when he decides to call it a day.

Hope so.

According to afl.com.au, Swans biggest loss in over 30 years.

Nah, bugger them.
Hawks could kick them out of the 8 next week by beating them.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,764]

Quite happy with that result. Blues now a game and a half out of the top four if Brisbane win tomorrow. Important since they have WC away and St.K to finish their season. If Hawthorn lose tomorrow but beat Carlton the following week they could both end up miss finals. Along with Essendon, Collingwood and of course rock bottom Richmond. How sweet.

I cannot fathom what has happened to Sydney. 

Come on carlton break the pies fans hearts

Why? Carlscum are the most despicable team and it’d be good to see them fall out of the eight soon. Colonwood are finished for this year anyway.

OK so sydney play Collingwood at home next week.

Get your mojo back, beat the filth & knock there final chances out of the park.

That's all you need to do

[layzie 34,326]

Wow. Horrible game but brilliant last quarter. Was pulling hard for Carlton, needed that to stay top 3 in tipping, I am now bundled out to 4th and the non prize money position.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

[Swooper1987 3,322]

Grundy has really struggled the last few weeks.  Interesting they brought Ladhams in.  He was hopeless too but might indicate the workload has got the better of Grundy.  He looks the bog average player he did with us last year.

Although If the Pies win, it would be funny to see the Swans only two points inside the top 4. This season producing Maximum chaos.

If the Port-Swans game had been a horse race, the stewards would have launched an inquiry.

If you have Carlton, Hawthorn, Collingwood and Essendon all missing finals...you must have us making it. Can't work otherwise.

FWIW Carlton's last two games should mean they can't miss, as that's enough to get them to 14 even if they lose to Hawthorn.

Hawthorn have to beat at least one of GWS and Carlton and then they will get to 14 given they have the bottom 2 in their final fortnight.

GWS remains at most risk of being the side Hawthorn passes. They can beat Hawthorn tomorrow and still miss as they close with Brisbane, Fremantle and the Dogs. No guarantee to win any of those, so even with a win tomorrow they'd stall at 13.

If you are still playing at home, I think possibly our only realistic path to finals now is for us to take GWS' spot, which requires this:

1. We win all three (obviously) (gets us to 13)
2. Hawthorn loses to both GWS and Carlton and take a percentage beating, such that we finish the season above them on percentage at 13-10
3. GWS loses its other three games (Brisbane, Fremantle, Dogs) and sheds enough percentage for us to pass them, also at 13-10
4. Collingwood loses to at least one of Sydney and Brisbane (they'd cap out at 12)
5. Essendon loses at least two of Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle (they'd cap out at 12.5)
