All I’m getting from the coverage so far is shrill whistle blows and a bloke screaming STAND constantly. any chance we can lose the miked up umps?? I can’t stand it

Port are gonna struggle with Butters abs Durssma our long term. Their two young guns. and what’s happened to Zaharakis? Dropped again in a poor bombers team. Only just turned 31

We are 4 - 0 and haven’t played any of the 6 worst teams from last year yet. I reckon there is nothing at all wrong with supporters thinking finals are likely. glad you are enjoying it btw!

who is making comments about grand finals? Maybe one or two at most. The majority here are enjoying our great start to the season. Easily Beating Last years grand finalist, a team who won a final and two other finals aspirants. We are looking like likely finalists this year and I reckon people can enjoy that. And losing to the best team in the past 5 years won’t change that

Expect a rising star nom any week now for Riv

The Hawks had the perfect chance to go to the draft and blood quality kids to learn from Hodge, Mitchell, etc and chose not to it. Spent all draft picks on mature players. They will come to regret this in a major way. the impetus for their success was the draft in the first place

poor team on paper but they are playing quite well considering. Came close with the Cats.

not injured, just not getting selected. He wouldn't be getting a look in for our 22 either

Only 4 points up for grabs this weekend and next. to make finals and/or top 4 you need to perform consistently for 6 months not just target a few games. we can lose 6 games and still be in top 4, but we need to bring the same consistency to the next 5 months to be a chance

The weather looks dry mostly for Sunday so I suspect the Hawks will replace Lewis with a tall so we have little choice but to bring in Petty for May Fristch is more difficult, but I suspect M Brown will come in (assuming he has been training well and doing the right things in practice games). The hawks defence looks average without Sicily (Freo kicked 13.18 last week) so it could be a week for T Mac of Jacko to have a day out If it was a day like last sunday it wouldnt have surprised me to see Hibberd and Sparrow/Chandler come in

It’s actually better the Tigers having a big win. If they had lost 3 on the trot they’d be fired up for next week

Lynch didn’t do much in the 2nd half. Any chance of a concussion? Best to be on the safe side and Give him 12 days to recover

in the 35th minute of the Quarter! Tigers scored 7 goals 6. could be a 100 point win coming up

they crossed to Selwood and he said - I'm not sure how to put this into words yeah that's your new job mate! please hire someone not based on the number of flags, that can actually articulate

My word the Saints kicking skills are deplorable. getting plenty of ball but cough it up and they should be 7.2. all easy shots

the 2 HTB decisions inside 50 for the Tigers were dodgy too. most of the shots on goals for both sides came from free kicks

Tigers look gettable for next week (so far)

West Coast have Liam Ryan and Hurn out injured in addition to Sheuy and Yeo. Starting to build up

I reckon Saints will give the Tigers a shake tonight. Tigers are out of form, list two on the trot. Saints beat WC last week. Could be interesting

If only the VFL season had started so we had some players in form. I reckon M Brown is the best replacement without considering form. He leads well and creates space. Something a guy like Melksham doesn’t do

That is a kick in the guts. Who will replace his marking inside 50? Who will replace his goals? no idea on both. has taken 16 marks inside 50 and kicked 10 goals

Worth going to see Brown, Weed, Bowey, Laurie, Rosman, VDB, Bedford, Daw, Lockhart, Chandler, Smith should be a strong team

What is Pear? Does that mean port? last question - why???

Oh right. Makes sense cheers

Nothing like considering Carlton, visiting the club and speaking to their manager to get a player to sign on early! can all our OOC players do that please?!
