In Harmes Way

Even with the odd crazy result, there are so many teams there or thereabouts that I can’t see 12 wins being enough. Must beat Adelaide or it’s curtains.

We did win 3 quarters at the G. It was the 5 goal loss in the second qtr that killed us. If we can play 4 solid quarters,we can do this (like we did in 2015).

No Lever. No Hibberd. No Viney. No Worries. Its not who’s missing, it’s the quality of the starting 22. Gawny to continue his stellar season, Gussy and Clarry to clean up in the middle. TMac to kick 4, Hoges 3. Umps to finally not pay duckwood free kicks. That might be taking the wishful thinking too far. Go dees.

20 goals 4 to 1 goal 4 mono. As much as I like where you were going, I can’t see this game getting there.

? (aimed at Damian Barrett)

28 in Alice. But dry heat.

I don’t know him but I like the way he rolls.

Yep. I couldn’t make it to the game today and I am the curse of Norm (this year).

I think he’s too short for the backline. im surprised nobody has gone with a “last shot for JFK” gag. Probably poor taste.

Might as well just watch the full replay Nasher, the “highlights” reel wouldnt be much shorter

I didn’t see Bernie play in the 2’s today, did he play?

Was it uncle Bitters?

50 more inside 50’s, 24 more scoring shots. Should probably have won by more than 9 goals, but it’s a good win. NT has been good to us this year, 248-103. Back it up next week dees.

Glad the dinner party I’ve been hosting has just finished and I’ve missed having to witness that scoreline

Done well to keep them goalless for a half Great to see Vanders back. Pat McKenna has shown a bit. Hannan too good for the 2’s

Fritsch is a ripper. Pick 31, number 31, doing an iconic number proud.

If Lever plays before the end of the year, I’ll definitely agree with WB’s position.

I find it interesting that we were actually a better side (defensively, at least) this time last year without Gawn or Hogan. Our mids has to work harder to win the centre clearances, but we did. Baffles me that we’ve gone backwards this year with key personnel back in the side.

It’s not actually Goodys fault - it’s mine ive been to the Cats, Tigers, Pies losses. Thought I’d go along to hear the song today. Left when the Saints went 20 pts up in the last with 4 mind to play, our guys decide then it’s time to try to win it and kick 3 late goals and nearly pinch it. Ive learned my lesson, won’t be going again this year. I can’t take the umpiring anymore either.

Pretty ordinary effort from the umpires that quarter. I’ve only just calmed down from the umpiring last week. It really is turning me off the game. We’ve clearly got more class. Hopefully the saints coming back into that quarter is a wake up call for effort.

This thread sounds like the research for an AFL.com.au article

I’d argue it’s the other way around Wise. Jesse looked like he’d eaten 2000 hot dogs on Friday night and couldn’t move.

On a Friday night stage, the AFL should aim to have two high performing teams play, officiated by the best umpires they have to offer. This delivers the highest quality product to the broadcasters/audience to grow the game. If they are the best umpires the AFL has to offer, I might just stick to the World Cup from hereon in. 9 free kicks to 1 in the last quarter was ridiculous.

This is exactly why the AFL don’t give us Friday night games. completely unwatchable

I hope we play like we did in the first half against them last year and the second half like we did against Adelaide over there last year. Should silence everyone there except Woohoo guy and @McQueen. looking forward to pacing around my lounge room all night in what I’m expecting will be a nail biter.
