Previously known as LITD.

My daughter's engaged to Hawthorn supporter. I pretend to like the Hawks but I don't think I can maintain this evil lie.

Anything less than a forty point win will not suffice. Big day for Max. Boys need to get it done. Plus with a few teams going into finals with a lot of wins behind them, we need some form as well. Hopefully Smith and Jvr work well together.

Damn the Scg seats are expensive.

Here we go again. Must be game day.

Sick it up Crows fans. I recall a dob act not paid a couple of years ago. Karma's a ditch

He and Curnow remind me how a strong marking fwd is so important.

If I was a Carlton supporter that sound effect after a Suns goal would drive me nuts .

Suns player held without.

I'm counting because we were robbed.

How good to see Carlton go down. Gf eligibility out the window.

The dude abides.

The pies fwd line reminds me of our own issues. They are relying on " short talls" like Howe. They too are lacking some big key feds and it showed against the Lions with players like Hopwood and Danihers.

Can't help you Bbb but You could probably pm Wcw. I went through a stage where I went with one particular mate as both had 10 year old daughters that loved all the commotion in the cheer squad. They got to wave the old flag and knock out the occasional supporter in front of them. I did enjoy it myself. Of course you have no idea of what's going on the other end of the ground but it's super exciting when one of our players is running in for goal. Plus you meet a better class of people as the other mobs riff raff isn't about. I don't recall reserving seats. Maybe we were hogging some poor person's seats without knowing.

Cwood better not lose to the bombers.

Is Melksham on thin ice? I mean if he's average, will he come out for Fritta? Or was that always the plan?

The least we can do for his 200th is to ruck the whole game. No Grindy.

Yea Na Maybe .Mr winners. Smith needs to go fwd and Grundy needs a spell. Sorry. I reckon this will happen too. Agree on Spargo. Your on the money. JJ. I don't knowlove Pig back on and I guess Bowey is the most likely out for him. I guess Tommo comes in for Smith fwd. Sub. Don't know.

I try to understand everyone's point of view on this site and rarely criticize them. I will ask you if you or someone you love dearly has ever had cancer ? Well done to the Afl and all sports men and women that support this cause. Chers Deebauched.

I meant do we perhaps rest a few in the swans game to secure fourth spot? It's unlikely that we finish in second and if it means going a little below par to avoid finishing third and playing our first final interstate. Damn we came so close to cementing second spot if it weren't for the Afl to cheap to stump up for a couple of extra cameras. The pies are not a threat for us as I believe port or lions at their respective home grounds are I would also like to see us have a crack again at Carlton in the finals. The real problem for our team is clearly the lack of a second tall up fwd. Jvr is good but he's no superstar yet. I believe he will be. Ok m trying to be positive but it means we have one (ok to good tall) and nobody else. Petty schache, Bbb and Tmac or Grundy are not going to get it done. That's an unbelievable five choices . No other clubs has it's five key feds out. Maybe Fritta comes back and miraculously hits some good form in time. Does he playnext to Melksham who seems to be struggling again? Smith needs to play fwd this weekend. Tommo to be back. If we don't win a flag this year it will most likely down to both shortsighted recruiting but mostly just sheer bloody dumb luck. Perhaps our smalls will fire up and get it all done for us but it's a lot to expect. Lat year our fwd line failed to kick many goals in both finals and after all our hard work we went out in straight sets. Something needs to change for as it stands we seem to be in the same predicament. By finals time Oliver will be back in top form so maybe Trac is a permanent fwd fixture. I'm not sure why Goody played Smith mostly as a defender last week. Grundy is not a fwd. Sorry for the rant and being in the wrong thread. I'm sure I'm not alone either this concern though and I think we are probably equal to the top two teams this year but have just week after week been unlucky with our best players going down. The Hawks game is our last chance to rejig our fwd line. For me it's Smith and Jvr. Smith may not be very tall but has a great leap and very athletic. In leau of being a shorter fwd team, let's hope speed prevails.

This non decision smacks of incompetence or cowardice.

That umpire isn't fit enough for Auskick. Gearing free kick they didn't pay at a close stage of the game. Incompetence or cowardice.

Congratulations to a modern giant of the game. A true champion, leader and gentlemen.

I don't know. They probably are. But what about our Swans game. Just quietly, do we go easier if it means avoiding an interstate final?

I'm giving props to Kozzie who tells the ump when it was touched. When he was the player who kicked it. Bravo.

I do not know why but I have a new found disdain for Carlton. Can't wait to see them lose their final.
