useless football club Freo, This is why I hate Geelong.

Heart stopping moments

refused to die

Gee wiz I know we have to play tommorow night but next Friday night is a fu$@&# massive Friday night for this footy club.

If he is still finding the pill and his still has his skill set then I can't see why not.?

I reckon the AFL are fudging the figures.

The official attendance for the North-Saints stinker was 26,000, which means the ground was supposedly half-full (Etihad holds 53,000).

Anyone who watched on Friday night and saw the cameras panning over empty stands knows it wasn't half full, not even close to it. 

As a comparison, we had 33,000 at our game v the Bulldogs, which seemed about right on the day. But there's no way we only had 7,000 more. I reckon the real attendance for the North game was closer to 15-20k. 

No way more than 15.

Congrats Goody well done great to see a SA lad do well especially one who lived in the next suburb back in the day awesome now lead the Dees to a Grand old Flag.

Jonesy rest up brother were gonna need you at the pointy end. It may not seem like it but its a blessing in disguise for you to launch into the finals fresh as a daisy.

How is Selwood's elbow to Mitchell's noggen any different to Salem's elbow to ziebels noggen? Riddle me that MRP, blight on the game this MRP. Friggen Bartel pulling the strings to help his mate out disgrace.

Just watched on the couch replay - good old Jonno Brown continues to pump us up. David Kind even brought up a graph titled 'premiership contenders?' (Notably though, showing we are #1 pressure side).

what with the nature of this season and the fleeting form lines of all teams, perhaps a tightly fitting lid is called for...

Lots of time 4 Johnno Brown.

I don't usually watch "Talking Footy" on 7mate, but thought I'd tune in tonight on the back of a great victory.

Without exaggeration, with 8 minutes to go (after ad break) they haven't complimented Melbourne.  The first part of their program was all about what's wrong with the Dogs.  I wasted an hour.

That's what I was eluding to yesterday ProDee you think your going to get anything positive about the Dees out of Carey, Watson and the team you just wiped the floor with Darcy no chance.

Still don't rate Melbourne.

Just a guess but I suspect Watts will be rested. He has had a very hard 8 weeks on a body that is not used to that stress.

Of course that then just pushes the real decision one week down the track when you also have Hogan returning that week or the next..

The candidates are: Harmes, Melksham, Bugg ANB and perhaps Frost or Oscar with Pedersen being played on a match up basis. None of them deserve dropping at this stage.

Longer term there may also need to be a decision made between Vince and Wagner

Personally I have no idea

we had a break 2 weeks ago if he is right to go he's right to go.

He's still cracking in playing his part for mine. He's not a liability he's intructions on field can only be a gd thing rather than a bad thing.

I reckon that Bulldog fan is a former Collingwood Primary student. The literacy is about right.

What game was the clown watching, what a dope.

I don't understand these sentiments.  It was ALL deserved.

They'll NOW speak in glowing terms.

Produce crap, expect crap.  Produce great performances and expect plaudits.

That's how it works.  That's life.

I hate victimhood mentalities.

You obviously don't listen to Carey especially on AFL.com previewing the rounds games nothing ever gd comes out of his mouth about the Dees plus on talking footy. I know what I've heard no victim hood here.

Purely going on numbers in each position, we actually went into the season low on KP defenders. Frost, TMac, OMac, Garland. Only 4. You could argue Hibberd can play tall-ish. But TBH, that is a super thin way to go into a season for KP defenders. So even though right now everyone loves our starting 3, we really do need one more. Even if only as a development player.

I reckon small/general defenders we have heaps. Hibberd, Hunt, Jetta, Lewis, Salem. Wow.

Midfielders: Awesome. Some people say you need 14 or so with real class as your first 4. Oliver, Viney, Jones, Tyson. We have about 10 other Harmes/Bugg types that roll through there. But I'm of the mind we need 2 more serious mids, and should spend our next 2 first rounders on them. The big thing here is decline/age of Jones, Lewis and Vince. This should really be of concern in a big way to all demons supporters.

KP forwards: Hogan, Weed,Watts, Pedo, Hulett... Probably need another here too. Hulett might be in trouble.

Small forwards: Sensational. Garlett, Harmes, Bugg, Tracca, Hannan, AVB. Awesome.

Rucks: As discussed over and over. We have two starters who could go 22 rounds. And 2-3 kids who we will wait and see. Leave as it is I reckon. If Spencer moves on, we'll have to FA up another.

So I reckon over next two seasons. 1 KP forward. 1 KP Defender. 2 mids. Lovely jubblies.

Could find them in trades. Could FA them. I'm really hoping though that given the pressure is off the recruiters, they can stockpile some 2018 draft picks. They're already saying it's a super draft.

Midfielder for me

His brain was the issue .

His lack of games may see a prolonged career ,back ended, and to me he looked like a 100 game AFL footballer.

like I've said before he has 3-4 years in him.

You know what scares me? we have 2 genuine A graders in Hoges, Gawny and a possible A grader in Brayshaw out of the side at the minute. Who ever can improve us as a side but for right price. Someone in the mould of Hibbo he's elite but brought in at the right price.

We won't get much of a mention I don't think, will be more about the fall of the dogs 

yep

I mooted that Lewis might be rested well not after today well done.

Do we really need to break the bank $$$ for another defender? 

Hope Wayne Carey, Dwayne Venom Denim and all those scumbags were watching today. Eat your own crap you have dished out about this great club over the years absolutely bashed them today. #stickitwherethesundontshine.
