3 pages in and not a single photo of the shot in question?

Why did you play-on, you muppet!!?? Take your time, have a shot after the siren and you probably win that match! Unbelievable finish but that result really pisses me off. Geelong infuriate me. Such a mediocre team carried week in, week out, by two players.

Is my hearing failing or did I just hear Bruce say, with all sincerity, "I reckon they're most people's second favourite team," when referring to Essendon? Jesus Christ. Just hang up the microphone Bruce.

Utterly embarrassing for St Kilda, in the Friday night spotlight too. Someone remind me why these pretenders have 3 Friday night games this year?

Plenty of time for Essendon to lose this. Not sure I want St Kilda top 4 but I sure as hell don't want Essendon getting close to the top 8 with their ridiculously soft run home (another AFL gift for artificially finishing last).

That was bizarre. He continued to sit there on the phone as Lewis counted down the game. What brilliant strategical move was he planning to make at that point? Given his proximity to the players, you'd think he could've instructed his players to man up. Maybe he was ordering dinner?

No coincidence, that one. As for the Fairfax article with this [censored] accepting Clayton's apology? Only worth a read if you need any further evidence that journalism in this country has sunk beneath the gutter.

In a lot of ways, you have to wonder if those matches Lewis lost, and the tight losses we suffered, might be the making of our team, long-term? That's the optimist's way of looking at things, anyway.

The odds of Goodwin giving McDonald 0 votes are equally 0.

Not even crowd patrons are safe from our unruly players, now having their lives threatened while peacefully sitting in the stands! Won't somebody think of the children!?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Oliver getting into a "Twitter spat" with some [censored] cricketer is an indictable offence nowadays. What is the world coming to!?

Lloyd, Hutchy and Cornes were surprisingly complimentary about our win, right until they threw us under the bus for "getting ahead of ourselves," complete with laughable 'rap sheet' detailing our indiscretions this year. They even included Hogan caught smoking at a music festival on the graphic. You'd think these soulless wankers might have an ounce of humanity for a kid with a gravely ill father, but clearly that's giving modern Australian journalism too much credit.

One could deduce that a certain senior coach omitted McDonald from his votes, while another gave him BOG.

Can't be too surprised. For years the losing team has been the story over us, regardless of how good a win it was. Didn't see any sympathy for us when our two injuries in the Anzac Eve match cost us the game, was nothing but media fellatio to Richmond.

Some "interesting" coaches votes. Looks like someone gave Murphy 5 votes, Curnow 3 votes, Kreuzer 1 vote and McDonald no votes. He almost certainly got 5 from Goodwin, unless I was watching a different game. CARLTON v MELBOURNE 9 Marc Murphy (Carl)5 Charlie Curnow (Carl)5 Tom McDonald (Melb)5 Christian Petracca (Melb)4 Clayton Oliver (Melb)1 Matthew Kreuzer (Carl)1 Neville Jetta (Melb)

You have got to be kidding me? We're just going to bend over and take it from this [censored] after he laid his hands on a player? What the actual [censored]?

It was a deliciously veiled dig at the morally bankrupt hypocrites in the media, most of whom wouldn't understand culture nor integrity if it bit them on the ass.

Basically this. Growing tired of these gutter-level media parasites more focused on the next trivial scandal than our footy. Get stuffed. Lewis was similarly dismissive last week on 360 when Robbo made some utterly inane and moronic comments questioning our culture (like Robbo knows the first thing about it).

Bummer, but the positive aspect is another team falling back into the rest of the bottleneck. West Coast blowing another Domain game should further erode their confidence (and they already stink interstate). They have 4 or 5 more games at Domain so it's great that it isn't a fortress. Going to be very hard for us to crack the top 4 though.

West Coast are going to lose this. So long top 4!

Cracker of an ending in the North game. Goldstein's choke was justice for how soft that free kick was.

Let's just hope the result of that match is irrelevant... I'll be sick if the top 8 is still in play by round 23 (and a loss costs us our place).

Well, to say most results haven't gone our way in the last fortnight would be an understatement (barring the Brisbane win over Essendon). Fremantle blowing a win against St Kilda has really put pressure on us, because it's created a 10 horse race for finals. 2 of Richmond, St Kilda, Sydney, Port Adelaide, Melbourne, West Coast and Essendon are going to miss out. Fortunately Essendon remain a loss AND percentage out of the 8, but they have a very easy run home and 5 wins from their next 7 gets them to 12. West Coast don't convince me but 5 of their last 8 games are at home (and we know how much of a BS advantage they get there). Richmond have Fremantle, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Hawthorn to come, 3 of which they should win. Port's only real 'gimmes' are North and Gold Coast. They should account for Collingwood and the Bulldogs, plus their great percentage is as good as an extra win. If we're going to play finals, we have to earn it despite our injuries. We need at least 4 wins from our final 8 and must retain a stable percentage. Lose tomorrow and we're in serious trouble.

Very favourable run home. Again, hardly surprising for the AFL's pet.

Oh, Saints now 4th on the ladder.
