Gee 12 to 4 points in the saints north clash in the 2nd q. What a cracker.

Was going to give you the laugh emoji but thought it would look like I was having a go.

Still a good chance I reckon.

Pies getting some ump love today.

Softest travel draw in the comp by miles. Not even a trip to Geelong which is strange because they haven't been there since federation.

You know your team is a threat to others by the selective outcry on things like this.

Thanks. Good point. Same contact Except this one there was no going at the ball so it's worse.

Will the Pies run out of juice from their tight interstate game last round? I hope so.

They have been good backing themselves and first at the ball where Pies players seem happy to just sweat their opponent. Upset brewing.

Hopeless goal umpire.

Maybe they could get him a nice hot water bottle.

What a mark. Take that umps.

Hope so. Could be the game of the season. KB still sounds strange.

Get ready for some more commentary bias too.

Lot of feeling here. Will be a long game but gee I hope tge Swans can win

These deliberate calls are stupid. You can't help the bounce of an egg shaped ball.

Good crowd.

I don't think it is and I don't think the rules have changed. If you feign a handball it should still be ok and not play on. One thing that irked me was twice I think the umps seem to force us to take the advantage which wasn't there.

Is it possible to have Max play forward for a whole game and put Petty back where he belongs? Max could still do some rucking in the forward 50 and take a bag of marks inside it as well. And Grundy does seem better at palming the ball to our players.

As ironic as Dermies comment is, I'd actually take him back at the minute for our fwd line issues but only short term.

Looking forward to Swans v Pies. I feel an upset at the G. DISCLAIMER....I Thought we'd win by ten goals last night so.....gamble responsibly.

I wish that were the case but the truth is that we are lacking in options from injury and form. It would have been great if Petty shone in his new role. I know he takes a good defender but has struggled with contested marking and I'm guessing has only kicked around 3 goals. So not great. Schache didnt look too hot against North and both Tmac and Bbb have been fighting injuries. The former has a new issue but even when in the side looked slow and lacked intensity. When Bbb arrived at the club not so long ago, we were all scratching our heads how to accommodate our talent. Now it seems we are lacking talls and that we are robbing our backline. It not only hasn't worked it's left our defence vulnerable. Fingers are crossed that either Bbb or Tmac make their way back in tge seniors and play some good footy alongside Jvr. And Petty plays his great role in defence.

I think Grundy often finds our players with very accurate tapping. It's what sets him apart.

Also promising is Jvrs accuracy.

Yea, I've been going through the fixture and 16 means we can only really only lose one game at the G...maybe Pies or Lions. Lose to only one of those is 8 wins at home plus 8 points from gws @ TIO and North @ bludstone. It allows for Port beating us in Adelaide, Saints at Marvel, Cats beating us in Geelong and Swans in Sydney. But as the old footy cliche goes.....One week at a time.
