In Harmes Way

I'm surprised you can't hear the beeping and whirring of the modem as they send the decision up to ARC for review.

For everyone getting stuck into Salo for not kicking that goal from 45 in free space, nobody is commenting on Bowey scrabbling around on all 4's in the third quarter failing to kill the ball in front of Carlton's goal which could equally be the difference in the game. And as much as I love Gawny, we lost the first three centre clearances of the last quarter which gave us a mountain to climb. For all the Grundy haters, he stemmed the bleeding from the middle. I think there's a few players that would be looking closely at themselves, but at the end of it all, they were a bit better at applying the pressure for longer which led to a lot of the above.

The club would absolutely want Gawny's 200th at the G in front of supporters, friends and family; as opposed to the SCG.

And we as paying supporters deserve better too. Good post binny

We should welcome the fact that we've got tough opponents going into finals. We'll be better off overall as a result. That said, I'd rather not be playing at the SCG.

I haven't done any analysis on this, but I reckon the problem with cameras for goal review technology is that they have to cover the likelihood of a touched ball wherever that might be - it could theoretically be touched off the boot anywhere inside the forward 50 arc, not necessarily just on the goal line like Saturday's instance. Therefore it's probably a larger number of cameras involved, and at all grounds, and on Channel 7/Fox to cover the cost for; as the broadcaster?

How good was Kossie’s goal in the last qtr with two opponents and no gap to squeeze the ball through. Gees he’s worth the price of a (family) membership

Again? Or is this rev 2 of the Craig Hutchison spat?

Moreso consigned to history

I’m convinced Dodoro has compromising photos of someone high up at the Bombers. The bloke has Teflon shoulders

I’ve enjoyed the fact that we’ve largely been flying under the radar despite the fact we’re 2nd on the ladder. After we take the choccies tonight the spotlight will well and truly be on. Games like this are a great tune up for finals, bring it on.

That would make me gag

I’ll gamble responsibly and put your house on it

Sunday could be a really good day of footy

I'm looking forward to the followup text post match after Clarry's had 40 and kicked 3 "I really didn't see that coming"

My dog loves fish and chips night for the chips. She looks like she’s smoking a big stogie with a chip hanging out her mouth

Maybe he's got dodgy achilles tendons OD, in which case transplanting them into a Collingwood player makes perfect sense.

He took a nice mark and goaled in the WCE game in Perth that got us into the finals as well. But, per others above, me and my boy were sitting on that forward flank as Mitch ran past us and dobbed that goal against Geelong. What a memory. That, and the crowd noise when Jonesy kicked the sealer. And Nev tearing Dangerfield a new one. What a game.

How can you have a show called AFL on Monday on a Wednesday?

I was more disappointed with the quality of the umpires’ bounces and the lack of them being recalled than I was with JVR’s performance as second ruck against decent opposition

Have you seen May’s kicking for goal?

Maybe he doesn’t want to live in Perth away from his family and friends. I’d rather his honesty than the JHF scenario at the Kangaroos- at least the Eagles have more likelihood of long term certainty on the pick they take

I'm optimistic a forward line of JVR, Melksham and Fritta supported by Chandler, Kossie, Nibbler, Trac and Max floating forward could still manage a game winning score. In Fritta's absence, I reckon we give Smith a go and run Tommo in the backline who I think has been largely good excepting the game against Richmond.

2x Norm Smith medallist

I’ll be happy with a solid 4 quarter effort, no injuries and Maysie having a solid game in the backline. The rest should sort itself out.
