Your goal Tommy Phillip's

Ugly quarter love how we stood up in the last 5 and got it on a terms a bit. Could have blown out to a 40 point margin. Gee wiz two different sets of rules out there at the moment.

I would have broken my fucken TV if the umpires didn't call that free

About 5 steps too far

Umpiring a tad iffy here..

Okay how the [censored] was that ball?

Joel Smith has put on some size..

Acts like that really bring the human aspect back to the game. For a minute there I didn't hate collingwood one bit.

That was a great outfit by bucks

Should be at work today... however I wrecked my back and have been on leave for 2 weeks, now I don't miss any of this game, happy days!

Dont want to sound to over confident here, but I cant see the pies getting within 6 goals of us. All of our senior players speak of the pain of round 23 last year. I cant see us letting up for a second in this game applying relentless pressure all day siren to siren. Our forwards are way too dynamic for their defence and our mids will be harder at it than them I can see us winning contested possession by 25+. I think a lot of players are really looking forward to the big stage & want to make a bit of a statement (if the last 6 weeks hasn't been enough)

A lot of key forwards learn their craft as a back. Think back to Nick Reiwoldt, David Netiz, the G train all spent time back to master their craft. I just dont think putting Weid in as a intercept back would be a smart move, he would need to take more of a one on one defensive role allowing hibberd to play the intercept role. The thing I do love about Weid is he gives a contest can bring the ball to ground, and competes when it does hit the deck, also seems to be a clean kick on both sides.

I think the launch pad for where we end up in the finals comes from the next two weeks. If we can beat Collingwood and Port we will hold our spot in the 4 clear by at least a game (possibly 2 and %) We still have games against Freo, WB, St Kilda and the Suns. Which if we want to make top 4 we should be putting these teams away. That would have us on 14 wins with a remainder of games being Adelaide (a) Geelong (a) Sydney (h) eagles (a) and giants (h). Minimum of 15 wins required to be top 4 so we would only need to win 1 of our "tough" games to be a chance assuming we can take care of business to the lower teams. I think it would be better to have that tougher run home coming into finals. Especially if we can win 3 or 4 of those games our boys would up and about come September and ready to go. This is by far the most exciting back end to a season we have had for some time!

Outs lever and t smith both injured Ins j smith and weid If round 23 burns like the players said it did then we should really show up for this one and [censored] crush the pies out of the top 8 and decimate their percentage.

We won today without him?

Fingers crossed for bruising get him back after the bye

Tell him GCDee says get [censored]

Gee wiz max. Lucky that wasn't a 2 goal swing

Hibbo and Jetta have been manic today.

Bailey is just so clean over head

Great effort McLean you [censored]

Why is the umpiring [censored] us harder than usual today
