Completely agree OD. Perfect example in Basketball is Ben Simmons, young (very rich) Aussie guy, with the world at his feet. Has a terrible playoffs with the world watching. he is being crucified in the media for choking, being soft, etc. lay off the bloke FFS. He should change clubs and cities and start fresh

We badly needed a mental and physical break. Especially the midfield, young blokes and Gawny. Lockdown impacts everyone, even footballers Bombers will come out firing but over the four quarters we will be too strong at the G. Our midfield is far better and out defence will be too good. Demons by 32pts

Viney in for Sparrow a Brown in for Weed (which ever one is in better form and is fit) The weed is so down on confidence and we are not kicking it to him anyway, so he needs to go back

Great to have crowds back!! Let’s smash those bombers Although, its their home game though so we won’t be getting many tickets you’d imagine

Bombers made to look average by a poor Hawks side. Just got over the line thanks to an unbelievable game from Stringer if we are switched on, they shouldn’t cause us problems

[censored] I hate Geelong

How TF do Geelong keep staying top after 16 years?? They are Manchester Utd of the AFL Carey reckons Selwood is up there with the best captains of all time. My bollocks! He is a great player no doubt but how many flags has he won as captain?? Zero he walked into one of the most talented lists in history.

couple of upsets are on the cards I reckon the dogs will get up tonight. Carlton a real chance against GWS and the bombers are now without McGrath, Francis, Shiel, Hurley, Caldwell. but still should beat the Hawks

interesting read Hemingway, I completely agree. do you think Mackay should have been suspended though?

this is the part that I am not sure I agree with. Imo he did not elect to bump. he is going for the ball, I think gets a hand on it and the players collide in an accidental or incidental collision. This is the crux of what will be debated tonight. If you think he chose to bump he should get weeks if not, we should be cleared. If they declare it incidental contact but still suspend him then the game is in trouble and we will start to see players not attack the footy at 100% which will ruin it

Wins: Bombers GWS Hawks Gold Coast Dogs Crows Losses: Port (away) WC (away) Cats (away) Will leave us 17-5 and in the top 2. Obviously we could easily win against Port/WC/Cats, conversely we could easily lose to the six easer games. On balance and if we keep up the form we have shown in the first 13 games we should finish with 17 wins The games need to freshen up for sure over the bye and unlike many of our challengers we do not have many injuries to significant players (eg, Butters, Treloar, Shuey etc)

We were favoured by the umpires if anything. Bad decisions on both sides Collingwood deserved the win

Good to have confirmation that PF is Damian Barrett. I had suspected for a while

Likely changes based on emergencies this week viney and M Brown in sparrow and Weed out we desperately need a leading fwd.

We were off all game. Keen to get these ones out of system mid season and learn from it. second to ball, outnumbered at contests, making silly errors. anyone blaming individuals has no idea, the whole team blew this game

6. Jackson 5. salem 4. Gawn 3. May 2. Jordon 1. Trac

Any chance of us actually kicking it to Weideman?

Good lift in intensity that Q. Gawn was very good. we will win this we need to look at that first half.

WHY DO WE ALWAYS KICK IT SO WIDE?!?!

Our whole defensive structure is gone. Could be from a breakdown at any line. Once we lift our intensity we will be fine and get the job done. Jackson continues to improve. 12 touches a goal and 6 marks for a 19yo 2nd ruck. His second efforts and running are great

I reckon Clarry more than anyone has some credits in the bank. He can’t win every game for us. He get 20+ touches in the second half. No doubt

How does Kozzi do what he does and then drop a chest mark?? Absolute sitter inside 50

So good to see so many MND beanies in Perth!

Hope all is well Nasher. Good luck with your new era.

In fairness it’s unlikely he is living with your ex-wife
