I mentioned this in the Game Day thread last week, I was 100% convinced our win rate and general stats were vastly superior with Pedo in the team. Nice to see the stats actually back that theory up. Seems very unlikely to be a pure coincidence. Here's to another year in the red and blue for Pedo!

Puts our loss in a bit more perspective, I think. Young teams, even the Bulldogs, are going to have some shockers along the way. Although probably more due to injuries at this point, it was just pure laziness yesterday from us.

Not playing St Bloody Kilda twice at Etihad! Ridiculous!

Exactly, tough [censored] luck to Geelong. They get almost a guaranteed 8 wins a year with home games down there; tough bloody luck they have to play elsewhere when making the finals with such a huge advantage. Just like Sydney and GWS with all their ridiculous concessions and advantages. No sympathy!

[censored] pathetic isn't it? The AFL are beyond incompetent, they simply have no interest in doing anything proactive enough to change the state of the game.

As soon as Cometti said Howe was going into defence after Treloar's goal, I knew they would [censored] it up.

[censored] useless Collingwood, right to the very end.

Yeah I don't see the Pies getting above us by 2%, but it would be amazing to see Hawthorn finish outside the top 4. Speaking of percentage, it's annoying how easy it is to improve your percentage with a few goals, yet Brisbane's percentage actually went UP today after losing by 50+ points.

Just a complete joke. Half their list is suspended for being convicted drug cheats and they get handed pick 1 as consolation prize, when Brisbane clearly need it more and get no players back next year to ease the pain. Just a total effing joke. I think my brain may actually explode if O'Meara walks to them via the PSD.

I suppose they'll just be rooting for a Hawthorn loss, otherwise they'll be playing West Coast at Domain week one.

Desperately hope Hawthorn lose today and end up in an elimination final week one of finals. They would probably finish on the ladder in 7th place, if the Dogs smash Fremantle.

Oh god as if I needed any more reasons to hate that ducking, diving [censored] Rhys Mathieson. Seriously, how dumb can a team be to decide to lose by 60 points rather 70 and end up throwing away the chance to [censored] up Essendon's entire drafting strategy in one fell swoop.

Which will double if another dumb Lions player kicks a goal. Seriously, it's going to be a 70 point drubbing. Why would you then also cost your team pick 1 by a single decimal point of a percent?! Idiot.

Walker you [censored] idiot! What the hell are you doing?!

Personally I think Jaeger told them he wants a trade to a certain top 4 club and that's why Gold Coast cracked it about him not being allowed to nominate his destination, because they'll probably only be able to secure two late first round picks. They certainly wouldn't be behaving this way if he said he wants to go to Essendon, or was ever entertaining the notion.

Don't see it happening really, no way Brisbane will stay scoreless, and the Saints won't be able to kick 2 for every Brisbane goal in a single quarter.

Yeah, the quarter they made sure to address in the final quarter when they still had time.

Would've been a shoe-in right now if not for the 1.2 to 4.7 final quarter yesterday. Woosha must have realised the implications of a win and too big of a percentage booster.

Have a field day Nick, please! Kick ten goals! Frankly if Leppa wants anything positive to eventuate for Queensland football, he should lose this match enough to secure the wooden spoon. It will be a total injustice if Essendon get pick 1.

Gold Coast will be licking their lips. They end up with pick 8 instead of 10.

There's a noticeably better on-field attitude at the Giants than with our kids. Certainly no sulking from their key forwards, they just get on with it. Starting to wonder if this is a coaching problem and nobody wants to bring Hogan to account. His body language is pathetic and surely brings teammates down with him.

So North end up losing both of their final 2 games, as predicted. Won't just be our club kicking themselves for throwing away a chance at 8th spot.

Let's face it, everyone else is just making up the numbers. The system is rigged.

Especially considering they've consistently played finals for so many years, but never gained any traction off it. It seems to be across the board though, even Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond fans have given up attending. What do you expect with the same [censored] teams in the top 4 every bloody year?

Thank God for Richmond is all I can say. I'd still rather support our rabble than theirs!
