leave it to deever

When we are getting thumped, we need to stop handballing and start kicking

bloody hospital handpasses

dont think hes good enough yet

They take an arm, a leg and your first born instead. Interesting forum topic though. Sometimes it feels like the afl should just shut up on certain things but as Stu, I think astutely pointed out, footy represents society so politics always gets into things.

I hope he will become the champion supporters are claiming he will be. If J viney and Gus hit their best then we have a very promising midfield.

Love to be a fly on the wall at the family Christmas party. Pass the fu&5@3g turkey you @56173&5

This is optimism. I like it.

No one really knows

The politician- We need more glasses

For those who have compared Hogan to Stringer- Hogan is far better with his marking around the ground.

Nice sentiments, Agreed things are looking up and although I have had misgivings about Roos at times I admit I was wrong. Hope the we can eep recruiting like we have and keep improving. Despite the criticism of omac i think he will emmerge as one of our greats in 2 or 3 years.

Would be great if we could pay st kilda at the mcg instead of twice at ethiad. Not putting that down as a win. Yet we are a strong chance against adelaide at the mcg.

'To the toppermost of the poppermost!'

Good point. I did mention his lack of speed previously but it is way too early to judge his future. And 20 touches a game would be pretty good.

Not really but I M worried about his future

Actually you should probably see someone about that

I hope that dh ringing that bell is a dons supporter

Todays conditions were far from normal wet melbourne drizzle. There was about 25mm of rain during the game. The number of marks taken by hogan watts and gawn were 10

Rtg is right about our wet wether skills or lack of thereof. The postive in that is that we have become a highly skilled side whose skils are imapcted by poor conditions. Ie hogan, watss and gawns marking

Please dont remind me of that fiasco.

Sydneys backline was a fortress comapred to ours

Jb usually nails it but I thought watts was very good today. Re trenners the poor bloke seems to have lost a lot of his speed. Tmac kicking acroos goal in the wet isnt good mut he played okay. Oliver and vdberg seem to have dropped a lot of their form last 2 games

Ithink the eight was gone after dons loss and cemented by port game. The 8 I Reckon IS sealed. We will be there next year....iM sure of IT.

Its a long cold train trip home on this miserable sydney day. My take today was a premier defence versus a mediocre backline. Clearly without the gawn factor we cant win so the wet definately suited sydney. The hogan factor is missing in the wet as well. Not sure what has happened to vanders....he used to be twice the player of late. On the positive Petracca is going to be a star for us.
