In Harmes Way

Elbowing players in the face after the siren is not a great look for the sport. The media and AFL would be better placed focussing on sending this message rather than arguing whether it was a glancing blow or not. from my perspective, Oliver's reaction clearly demonstrated it hurt. #givehimweeks

My wife walked into the front room where I was watching the game last night just as Plugger Mac kicked the winner. She looked at me strangely, as I was standing right in front of the TV shaking my fists in a more animated version of Goody. It took me a while to explain we'd just gone in front with 20 secs to go because I was panting quite hard. she understood in the end, I think. Took me a while to wind down!

TOP 4!!!

WOWEE!!!!

I'm amazed the guys didn't get the right boots on after the warmup. Lots of slipping, esp. compared to them.

Back in the dark ages we could see exactly how bad we were. Sure bet we were going to lose. not today, however. Dees by 4 goals.

If Gus can't get past these concussions (god forbid), then we'll just trade him for hawthorns best 2 players at the time. They should be happy enough with that...

So never in the last 25 years then

Have we ever played them at night in Perth? As we keep on winning, these hoodoos are going to become more and more obscure.

Hopefully they haven't made the banner for this week yet on the assumption he was playing! They might have to resurrect last week's banner and save this week's for next?

If the noise sources earlier in the week on Hibbo being 50/50 to get up are accurate, then that would be three players in the top 5 Demonland players for the year not playing in this game (if he doesn't). Of course, Max would be one of those players if he'd played all year. Hope pig gets up.

Club sources told me Pro Dee.

Don't leave us hanging Saty - is Max Gawn going to get a game?

You know, Petraccattack, its lucky the Hawks didn't sell the farm for him. oh, wait.....

Thanks @Ethan Tremblay for that match summary - I really enjoyed it. I kept thinking that you'd never get analysis like this from the pies! #freekickmelbourne

He reminds me of Brett Lovett gun.

Just like Jayden Hunt, I'm up out of my seat whenever he gets the ball in fwd 50. He's just so dangerous. that kick v pies when he took the tap from Watts, ran toward goal and circled back in from the line, low pass at pace to Pedo with the outside of the boot (Hannan crumbed and goaled) was just sublime. ive got a serious man crush on Jeffy, he's something else.

Now that's sorted we can sign Hogan up until 2035.

That's a bit O-Fence-ive I'll see myself out

Given Chunk is out 4-6 weeks, I believe he's actually done an ACL

Knowing how our 4-6 week injuries play out, I reckon the bye will help Chunk get back into the team for week 1 of finals...

Maybe the West Australian could announce that Zac Jones may line up for the dees on Saturday night if he overcomes a strained quad muscle.

I'll just be happy to see big Max get through this game with no injuries.

I'm going to take Saty's line on this and leave it in the hands of those in the think tank that have displayed considerable acumen and results with little to play with in terms of draft picks. I have complete faith.

I worked in Russia for a couple of years a decade ago Moonie - the stat I remember from back then was that Russians drank 70 litres of vodka per year per capita (men, women, children). But they do stick to the good stuff...
