Port could still go out with 2 losses, if Geelong won next week

Not a great start...

Don't like barracking for the Pies, but we really need a win from them today

Imagine how good Richmond would be with a half decent ruckman...

Jon Ralph said the opposite on Twitter tonight. Said the AFL had clarified tonight that the pre-draft priority pick was dead, and that end of round 1 (pick 19) is all they will get

I agree. Only one I'm not 100% on is Hannan. Has seemed to either kick 2 or go completely missing. Hopefully this is the former

Sorry, from your original post it sounded like you wanted Fritsch dropped, as you'd left him out of your starting bench. Hence my comment.

Closer to etihad than the G, width wise

He says Essendon are not pursuing Gaff, while Melbourne and St Kilda are not confident of getting him

I'd be amazed it Fritsch is dropped before Spargo.

I'd take Kent, Melk, Fritsch and either JKH or Hannan from that bench

Spargo stays. Named in the starting 18

Fell over with a beautiful Petracca kick coming at him in the middle. Went up the other end straight away

Like [censored] the players are hurting. They were supposedly hurting after end 23 last year. And after the first game against Geelong, and the game against the Saints, and the second game against Geelong. They just can't handle the pressure against top 8 sides. It's pathetic how hard they make it for themselves.

4.14. Could be 5 or 6 goals up. Classic

Our kicking is disgraceful. We are killing ourselves here

Good article for the insights it provides on Claret. Not particularly well written though (waste size?) Glad it has clicked for him. It doesn't for a lot of talented youngsters, as we well know.

Heath Shaw now injured. Looks like a knee

Both then kick goals. Don't dream it's over

Honestly, it's still a fairly small, very cold town. Great place to live if you're a not into big cities and don't mind the cold though.

Living in canberra, in got invited to the game with a whole bunch of 'rugby' people. I happily declined, and am now sitting in front of the heater watching it on the TV, as opposed to freezing my ass off explaining the game

Fat side is the side of the ground with the most space to lead in to. For example, if you are on the right hand flank, then the left hand half of the forward 50 is the fat side. Been used as a term in footy for yonks.

Ryder done for the day

You by the sounds of it! I love the idea of flying... it's the motion sickness that kills me

Wouldn't you love to be a senior coach. "Hey Mahns, I need a business class flight to Adelaide... just gonna go catch the Port-WC game"
