I love Buckley playing the sympathy card saying injuries hurt them. After 4 years of massive injury lists it’s not bad luck it’s bad player management. Get some new fitness staff!!

Every season is in our hands, we should win 22 each year? i sense you are more of an optimist than me. We have two of the toughest games possible coming up and off our form this year we won’t win them. So we need to win the next two and squeeze on in 13.

Can’t be upset when pies lose

They got the good McCartin!! how good is footy!?!

If we want to increase our chances of making finals we want the pies to win

Err carn the pies.

Man I wish pies had of won tonight. Swans and buddy get their confidence back. Makes it a lot harder for us to make the 8 Pies will get to 14 wins with their soft draw.

Frost on Buddy? Good lord. Mark buddy down for 8

Moore injured now. With Reid, Dunn and Scharenburg all out, the pies are proper f-ed

Absolutely have to hope Pies win tonight. Swans win and it’s more likely teams can miss finals with 13 wins

Geelong lost and will be outside the 8 with the hawks to come and the form team of the comp in bombers are out of the running! Lions getting up would have been perfect but hardly terrible results

Eat a bag you drug cheats!! bombers for the flag. Lol

Bugger this cheering for Essendon!! If they lose they are done. They are the form team of the comp and could win all 4 games. Tigers will have nothing to play when they play bombers. Cmon the hawks! and good to see the Bears only down by a point! hawks and bears get up there are two teams out of the running with only 9 teams that can make it. Therefore we beat swans next week we are pretty much home and dry!

I swear I saw Narkle on an episode of Buffy once does he only play night games by any chance?

I love a 3:20 sunday game. Can get up, get the family stuff done, out for lunch and still make the game. then after can kick on for a couple of sneaky sunday night beers

This game should be a big test of: the hunger of the playing group. easy to get up for big games but has our mentality changed over the past 12 months. Will we kill them or limp over the line? The motivational power of Goody

100% want Collingwood to win. they should get to 14 wins but the swans are down and we play them next week. I am amazed some of us are looking at what is better for our top 4 chances as we are still a fair chance to miss finals. remember last year? I just want to make finals, badly. As Richmond have top 2 locked away, Im worried they will take it easy in the run home. Bombers or Cats could get up. I know it doesn't make heaps of sense but I am cheering on the Hawks tomorrow. I HATE essendon and can see them winning all 4 games if they win tomorrow. finally - COME ON THE LIONS. if the Roos win they are almost in the finals due to their easy run home.

If hogan and T Mac don’t get 6 each against that defence something is wrong. The is easily the worse line up I’ve seen all year.

Looks like one change only. No way ANB or Trac getting dropped and Spargo would be stiff as Kent has no form Strong emeregency list!

Gold Coast have arguably their 7 BEST players out! including both captains. this is not about talent or skill but about application and learning to get yourself up for a game that should be easy. I expect a few hairy moments in the first half until we click and pile on 15 goals in the second half

You'd have to expect 3-4 friday night and 1-2 thursdays next year you cannot say we are boring, we are either great to watch attacking/hard play or great to watch us choke (for the neutrals) or just tune in for the Clarry Clinic #ClarryClinic Trademark

What were people's thoughts of O Mac's game? I thought he played well. I was on the hill so watched him closely in Q1&3 and he was rarely beaten, fought hard and tackled well. Aside from that shot on goal!! I find it to be the defender's lot that you are bagged when your opponent kicks 7 on you and when you convincingly beat your opponent, you do not get any praise. I think he was one of the players that kept us in the contest in the first half. Jenkins took 1 mark and Tex 2 for the whole game

Completely agree VP. I was a bit worried going to this game, especially standing on the hill and it being a Sat night game. But the crows fans were great, I was more annoyed by some Dees fans that were trying to egg on the home fans into a confrontation for some reason. Was out and about after the game with my scarf on and had many chats with crows fans with no dramas. quite refreshing!

Oh and Hirdy reckons the Dons will win the flag what a delusional [censored].

Have done the old ladder predictor (i know I know) and I went with what I consider the favourites for each game. Have us winning GC and Swans and losing to WC. before round 23 we are in the 8, see below with no chance of getting kicked out unless Hawks make up 7% in one round. if you change it around to us losing to swans, we will be overtaken by the Hawks or Essendon if they win and we lose to GWS with GWS playing for the top 4. im not sure I can handle the next 4 weeks!!!!
