This is a bit of a myth IMO. Every game is so damn important in the NFL because only 8 of the 32 teams have been able to make the playoffs (meaning an even quota wins/losses won't get you over the line). The equivalent would essentially be returning to a top-5 system in the AFL. If you did that, every game would be pretty important! Obviously, however, the season would then need to be shorter.

Casey finish top.

Game's finished dude - and percentage is the one thing the Saints don't need...

Didn't he get 2 Brownlow votes but no B and F votes?

I assume these scores are around about 3/4 time? (As at 4:15)

I think they only extend it if it's within a kick...

I know it's only 3-4 minutes into the third, but they look completely disinterested in the second so far. If only Lynden Dunn was playing for the Giants...

Twelve years ago, the Demons thrashed the Roos to make our first Grand Final in 13 years. In some ways it feels a lifetime ago, in others it doesn't seem so far in the past. It was such an exciting feeling leaving the ground that night - Farmer's 8 and Powell's 33 and 4 goals the main highlights. A brilliant season with many highlights. What, aside from the obvious, are people's highlights from 2000?

What, exactly, has upset people about it?

Shocking idea.

Zorko, Beams, Dangerfield, Cotchin, Jones, Clark, Kennedy, Roughead, Watson, Jack, Steven, Sloane, Griffin, Hayes, Mclean, Rockliff. Some for very different reasons than others.

Is it part of a series?

The Weapon - 18 separate players who have had soft tissues injuries this year (nearly half of their list).

If the report on Daniher on the AFL website wasn't just a beat-up, I don't think the Bombers will care where they pick him up. Mind you - the quote was something like he's amongst the best ever, including Judd, Scully

Prepare to have you character built.

Sad day.

I'm surprised (kind of) that no one has since discussed their changes for this week: In: Astbury, Batchelor and Dea Out: King (Foot), Griffiths (Concussion) and Ellis Not exactly wholesale and they're probably still favourites.

Dear oh dear! Jolly out, Gram out, Wells still out! Cost me any chance!

I don't know if it's the triple dose of zyrtec/Codral - but I feel that this isn't something I think should be out in the media?

Ease up - Whelan could easily still get a game with us (just gotta get his body right...)

You've got to remember as well, I think, that many contenders also have an abundance of midfielders who kick goals.

This does remind me a little of the is Liam Jurrah a star poll - where about 80% voted that he was, but about 70% of people who posted thought that he wasn't. I'm not sold on the value of polls. For anyone interested: here is the thread I'm alluding to. Odd looking back - as always.

There's a part of me (not sure how serious) that in part blames Dunn for 186. 110 or so down before half time, Dunn decides to dust up Chapman. We were getting pounded but I feel like Geelong would've eased up as often happens in thrashings and the game would've petered out into a measly 160 odd point loss. But no - not after Dunn gave them even more ammunition to annihilate us with. In fact that's it- he should go just for that alone.

It'll take a bit of a miracle for me to topple you I think MM - you're looking the goods.
