Proven right today. So many non-perceptive fans with their blinkers on in this forum who couldn't see how St Kilda's winning performances were a more mature brand of football than ours.

Like to see a replay of that point, Commentators with bulldog blinkers on just blindly accepting it

Why do Footscray wear green socks?

Carlton v West Coast at the MCG today. What a [censored] up. Clearly the AFL has done this to appease the WCE request for a game at the G pre-finals and put their interests ahead of ours.

It's kind of ironic that the institutions that should "leave political issues aside" are the ones internally at the forefront of providing adequate discrimination awareness training for their employees. It's a shame that it's not as widespread in the community, unless you've signed up to study or work in a place that does provide it. The school system really should catch it early on, but hasn't in the past for whatever reason. It's good that schools are the ones that are now at the forefront of anti-discrimination measures.

We're closing in on the 20th anniversary of this very comment being made.

Just give up any hope and expectations. Last year was a valuable lesson in not caring about whether Hawthorn have to play away interstate finals games because of regular season losses. I naively got so excited about Hawthorn going into last years finals and thinking they wouldnt win it playing a 4 week finals series with two perth games. If they finish 1st, so what? They've been closer to defeat at the MCG in two prelims vs Geelong and Port I have a feeling that many clubs in the finals will set themselves up for a big MCG game this year against the Hawks and may come out on top. I reckon if Hawthorn have to travel they'll beat anyone as those "against the odds" games are bread and butter Bring on more MCG games anyway.

Frawley keepign Buddy Goalless. Hmm, if only our defence didn't have a glaring weakness. #Equalisation

On this topic, would we have to play at Simonds Stadium two weeks in a row if we finished 8th and Geelong finished 5th? Jumping the gun here I know. But I'd imagine if we had to win that game in r23 to make the 8 then we definitely would find it extremely difficult to repeat the same victory again. Would be great if they scheduled it at the MCG though. 70k!

2017 Pick 18?

Did I hear he had 100% kicking efficiency at some significant point in the game? Edit: Yup, he finished with 93% disposal efficiency.

If you've met a North supporter then you have found a needle in a haystack is what you've done.

Now we hunt for the Kangaroos 8th position.

Kangas suffering from demonitis, kicking to the spare man in defence on every forward entry. Need to be smarter and hit up a player from 40 out. Leaving themselves completely open to a WCE 4 goal blast at any point in the game and be finished if they keep wasting all of their entries.

Yup. Kangas win today v Eagles and it's on imo as they have to play hawks at home and gws, adel, coll, carl away and let's not forget: WE get to play the Eagles at their fortress and if we pull off the remarkable then that's an 8 point gamee; the future can be in OUR hands. Oh and a western derby too with PAV retiring, which brings the best out of freo even if theyve been [censored]. Go Kangas!!

I knew it. Withhold a player for 10+ weeks and build up his hunger and he'll deliver. Now to apply this technique on some other players.

A win tonight and we're even on points to West Coast only percentage out of the 8. OH WAIT WE SOLD TWO HOME GAMES AND PLAYED HOME AT ETIHAD V STK. OOPS

If we're offering half as much as we offered PD (1.5m?) then it deserves a 100 pages.

What's the latest on Son of Smith? How's he tracking, training and Caseying? What position is he likely to be developing into?

Hawkins reminds me of Cloke. Game has passed him by, all he can do is wrestle and trip over and play for a free.

How is Son of Smith (Joel) tracking?

We need Majak Jordan to do Nic Nat leaps 20m in front of the goal and tap the ball mid-air to Garlett and Kennedy

Hawthorn play like they're all on meth, absolute hyper-mode. No team stands a chance when they're at their best.

They have our ex-players to thank for all of those flags! I consider those premierships to be a like a Melbourne guernsey with a velcro Hawk

I can't wait for Petracca vs Hodge. I reckon they've got perfectly matched body-types. Beasts of the G. Let's hope Christian survives though. Hawthorn will be a brutal opponent.
