We could go on all day too couldn’t we? That’s the sad part.

I wouldn't care if we had to play on the moon in week one of the finals, I must want to see the team play a God Damn final for once in my life.

Can look at the weekend's results two ways. Scary as hell because we can still easily miss the 8, or as a massive opportunity to rise up the ladder. Go dees!

Brad Green was a gun cricketer. I believe he represented Australia at an underage level, might even have been captain. I played a game of schoolboys cricket against him in College and he hit about 180 odd. Crushing everything out of the middle. He also took a hanger on me in Under 18s footy. If he didn't end up at the Dees I would have hated him I reckon!

No way Trac and ANB miss, so we have Kent, Hunt, Pederson, Spargo, J. Smith, T. Smith fighting for two spots. Reckon J Smith stays, but is on notice with Hunt coming straight into the squad. Spargo or Kent to fight for the last spot.

Sam McClure getting his info off Demonland again.

Malcolm Blight is off his head!! North as premiers. Sam with Scott Watters having Shuey winning the Brownlow. Good to see a couple had us featuring in the Big Dance.

Ah yes that makes sense. Although we should be awarded $500,000 in damages and emotional stress for Harmes' 50m penalty call on the weekend.

Can someone explain why we would be refunded? I must've missed something. Thanks

Regret not taking my Geelong supporting mate up on his offer of double or nothing on the bet we had on the game in round 1.

It seems to be a real thing though. Eagles used to dominate Subiaco with their "Weagles Web", but were picked apart at the MCG, particularly by the Hawks with their amazing foot skills. Now they are playing on their new home ground with similar dimensions to the MCG and are 2-0 at the 'G this year (albeit a small sample size). Are they a better side now? Is it a coincidence?

Does anyone else think the narrower ground will suit us? We seem to able to defend the narrower Etihad (128.8m) much better than the MCG (141m). GMHBA stadium is much narrower again (115m) so might suit our style? Just a thought.

Can't stand that bloke. Reminds me of a younger, better looking Craig Hutchison. Smug, feigns outrage, sensationalist. can't watch anything with him on it.

Don't the Crows play Brisbane?

If Adelaide lose it will make it tough for them. They have Richmond (away) followed by Geelong (home) coming up. Plus they play us, Port, GWS and North on the run home so would have to cause a few upsets to make it. I think I want the Eagles to win this. I'd prefer to create separation with the chasing pack than hope for an unlikely top 4 finish.

Didn't think I'd ever come to the point in my life where the heath of another man's big toe would be the source of my happiness or discontent. And yet here I am.

Think there's some confusion between the Official ratings best 22 and Kane Cornes' AFL team of the week. As for the latter, he had Tom Mitchell on the bench and Dangerfield AND Ablett on the ground. Anyone who saw that game would agree Mitchell was better than both of the Geelong players. Cornes had Garlett in a pocket and Hogan on the bench. No sign of Oliver.

Has anyone seen him close up in person? I haven't, I'd love to know how big he looks up close.

Gee I just assumed he was because he was given odds. Shame on me for trusting Sportsbet. Looks like he turned 21 on the 6th December so might be 3 weeks too old. Will have to look into it further when I haven’t had a Sunday sesh.

Currently a juicy $51 for rising star. If: A) he gets a game and B) he plays like that every week, could be the value bet of the year. Most likely kidding myself but surely a tenner on him wouldn’t hurt?

This kid is now 5th for total disposals, 2nd for contested possessions, 5th for clearances, 10th for centre clearances and 3rd for tackles for the entire competition. (Source - afl.com.au/stats) Completely absurd for someone in their second season who only turned 20 a few weeks ago. Seems to be flying under the radar of most supporters and experts alike, I wonder if his 'dive' has taken the gloss off the most complete second year I've seen from any player I can remember. Or does his high handball/kick ratio make him a bit less flashy and eye catching? Regardless, he is as important as anyone in the team now and I love him. I remember a lot of supporters hit the roof when we drafted him ahead of Parish. I'm sure Parish will be a gun but for now it looks like a great decision.
