Our much vaunted midfield is getting shown up. Max can't take uncontested marks.

I love Kossie, but God he makes some stupid decisions sometimes.

Then we still finish 2nd and get a home final. 1 or 2 is the key.

Max couldn't catch a cold at the moment. His contested marking has gone backwards

We are messing around with it. Dropping marks, missing kicks. We are lucky they can't kick straight

Mids getting taught a lesson. Harmes jogging after blokes. So frustrating

"Didn't quite get to the line, was really close but just a little bit sore from the weekends game in Perth. Really confident that he'll be okay for the Cats next week." - Alan Richardson on Steven May

Readjustment my predictions now. Crows to kick 7 goals 😱

Paying about $326 as a same game multi if I was a betting man

BBB and Fritta to kick 4, Melky 3. Gawn to smash it in the middle without ROB. Crows to kick 6 goals all up. Forgot Clarry to sew up the AFLCA award with a BOG performance after the Bont was fairly well held yesterday

This may not have taken Port's smashing of Carlton in to account. But if we beat Adelaide, lose to Geelong by not much and port beat dogs by enough, we can absolutely play Geelong first week. Port finish first, cats 2nd, us third and dogs or Lions 4th

It's opening up for us somewhat. Teams around us are getting key injuries while we still have a charmed run. We need to make the most of it and cement a top 2 spot. Can't rely on the dogs winning next week, just win today and in Geelong or we run the risk of playing port in Adelaide

Yeah, look. I got that one wrong didn't I? 😂

Seems like Taranto can only play in the guts, though. Would push viney/Harmes/Brayshaw out further.

To be fair, his team mates didn't turn up for the first one. Deserved a do over

Tassie Govt should just not sponsor them. No money, whether we get a team or not. Then sign a sponsorship with a team that agrees to vote for a Tassie team

Interesting that during the Demonland podcast Pert was talking about having conversations with players wanting to come here. Said it is very different to previous years and players were saying 'If I've only got a few years left Melbourne is a club I'd like to go to'. It may have been an off the cuff comment but I wonder if we are looking at someone like Gunston or Bruest who won't be there when the Hawks are successful again

Reckon he gets 3, even though the AFL asked for 2+.

Geelong down there this week for the first time ever. Yet we're there every year, it seems.

Bowey Sparrow in, Hibbo Jordan out

Harmes pathetic. Beaten in the clearances again, out tackled again. Honestly pathetic.

I hate the cats. But no reason they should have to play their home game at their opponent's home ground, especially with no fans. AFL has really dropped the ball here.

I understand people weren't happy with Oliver after that Spargo Mark, but did not one of you notice 5 seconds after that someone obviously said something to him and he put his hands up to apologise? Think we're a bit quick to jump all over Clarry

Bit harsh, Oliver was our leading possession winner and tackler. He had 11 when 9 players had 1 or less.

Be glad only top 8 sides play in September
