I certainly can see why we tried to get Essendons pick to get Humphrey. Guy is going to be weapon.

Tassie entering the comp is only a good thing! I suspect perceptions of player retention is born from views established prior to 2013 or so. Hobart is a different proposition now - with many features desirable to a large portion of people. And the supporter base will be fiercely passionate - the Tasmanian Devils will fit seamlessly into footy folklore.

Freo and Richmond boards at Bigfooty bemoaning they passed him up on draft night! Love to see it.

Does it get any worse than right now? Reamed by Essendon?

4 handballs in a row Viney. Break the streak.

Ball? [censored] off

yeah fair play haha

I was at the game... McVee had just been caught HTB, and Baker wondered over and pushed McVee whilst he was still laying on the ground. Max remonstrated.

I hate how Geelong gave up less for pick 25 than what we gave up for 27.

Only when it suits them :P

Gold Coast, Adelaide and Geelong have endorsed it. Apparently AFL will be giving other teams more time to decide.

Melksham had the opportunity to kick 3 really crucial goals. Really really hurt that he didn't kick any. But, others also missed opportunities. Suspect however that costs his spot.

I remember we bid on Matthew Flynn in his draft year, which was matched by GWS at Pick 41, and we proceeded to pick mitch king at 42. In and out of the team at GWS, 24yo... solid set of hands. Wonder if thatd be an option in a trade with Bedford?

Worst defensive effort of the year. Collingwood supremely well coached. Smart, flawless footy.

Please, umpires didn't decide the result. Dogs thoroughly deserved the win. Played like their season depending on it, and did some pretty impressive stuff. Still, f**k me May, wtf

Unlucky bowza

Nibblers goal!

A lot of players stood up for us. Particularly pleased with Fridge and Freezer (JJ and Sparrow)! Excellent toughness, 2nd only to Viney

Absolutely outstanding quarter! That's us!

The last 2 weeks aside, we couldn't be going any better. Absolutely stunning form, reigning premiers, recording breaking win streaks (well, up there)... And this is the best we can do? I fear this is what our peak looks like. And it's very deflating. It just has to be a good crowd this week - please.

Hang on, we're in trouble are we? Sydney played out of their minds, they got themselves up for this match. We were an accurate target away from winning a match, one against great opposition, where our forward line was completely dysfunctional. We lose and... maintain our position in top 4... We'll be fine.

Very disappointing circumstances for final 2 goals. GG Sydney, they played out of their skins and deserved the win. See you in September

Just listening to ABC Grandstand talking about the abysmal crowd last night, about 13k they said. It's very disappointing :/ and listening to the telecast it sounded like there was more North supporters! I mean seriously? A team going awful gets more support than the undefeated reigning premiers? We have a long way to go before being regarded as a big club.

This.

Really enjoyed Bedford's performance! Would be good to see more of him this year. Not sure how, but still
