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!!!! W L D 1. Richmond 17 4 0 136.4% 2. West Coast 15 6 0 120.1% 3. Port Adelaide 15 6 0 115.5% 4. GWS 14 6 1 115.6% 5. Collingwood 14 7 0 117.1% 6. Melbourne 13 8 0 125.8% 7. Geelong 13 8 0 118.6% 8. North Melbourne 13 8 0 111.1% 9. Hawthorn 12 9 0 118.9% 10. Essendon 12 9 0 104.4% 11. Sydney 11 10 0 106.9% 12. Adelaide 9 12 0 96.7% 13. Fremantle 8 13 0 82.0% 14. Western Bulldogs 6 15 0 73.5% 15. St Kilda 5 15 1 77.0% 16. Brisbane Lions 5 16 0 91.1% 17. Gold Coast 4 17 0 63.9% 18. Carlton 2 19 0 64.3%

Jack Viney - sole captain for the next 5+ years if I had my way

I was talking about the mental and physical toll of getting up for big games away from your home ground. It all adds up. With most of our important players being under 23, I would expect a ‘down’ game at some point

No change unless someone’s injured. I reckon the boys will be flat against GC. Two big away games after Darwin. Don’t be surprised if it’s close at half time. We need everyone out there

Sweet! Thanks for that swans deperately need fit quick players so Jones out hurts

How many weeks did Zak Jones get? Suspensions came out but haven’t seen his name yet

Man it’s gonna be tight. Difference between 3 and 10th at round 23 might only be a game! North should make it now with 3 definite wins and 1 probable win Collingwood will fall back into the pack. We need two wins and we should be ok to get 8th spot at least.

Lewis with two Zooper goals on his 300th! you bloody beauty!

I’m beginning to realise we are not very good

O Mac Bog for me in that Q. Never beaten 1:1. Would be a lot worse without him

No better place to watch footy then standing on the hill at AO. Win or loss I’m gonna punch someone at the final siren. ?

CRows have beaten cats and eagles in the past month. Not feeling confident

ANY training sessions in Adelaide??

And also why TF its a floating fixture when there is a bye
