Heard on ABC radio that it was a finger that got taped up.

Stay with them Saints. That's the King, on target.

The quarter finishes, they're having a good boo! Both teams would think it is about them. Perhaps they think a whip is better than a reward. It a boo-a-thon!

Looks like Kenty has been named med sub, for the Sain'ts.

Don't think the percentage matters. Now that they have won Carlton have to win/draw, if they lose then their percentage would drop anyway.

Join a few together and call it the dumpster train. (More to throw out) All aboard the dumpster train!

Would like to see him get a run late in the game and nail a couple of goals, that effect the percentage enough so we end up 2nd. Addit: have the med subs been named yet?

They also have poor final performances in the back of their heads. We go in as the "invincibles". Hoping we maintain that confidence.

I thought Goody always took his learnings, except for that Prelim when we got flattened. His approach was defence first, whereas Rutten appeared not to be working on the offence/defence transition game. I think, different styles.

This was always going to happen, given this weeks drama, and how their season went. A strong list, plenty of potential, many believed they would get into finals at the beginning of the season. Some matches were poorly coached, and not much adjustment to the style of play. At times seemed to have lost the players. He really needed some assistance from experienced coaches, who was or is their head of coaching? You know, someone like Ricardson or Williams. His assistant coaches wouldn't be feeling too secure

I don't want the verbatim, would like to know what frame of reference. I would assume the Brissy player falls into the criteria we all know not to offend with.

They need to give us some idea of the sledge. Spectators can be barred from games, with the AFL not holding back on what was said. The players are schooled about what is ok. The audiences are not, nor do they have any support. If they out audiences, then, out those who are supposed to be educated and with support, the offender must stand to public opinion. So in my mind I speculate, sexist comments would be front and centre (mum, sister, an LBGTQIA), or disability, or maybe a family member dealing with an illness.

JVR, was good.

Said, "down with cramp", they stopped play and it was in the rib area. Likes hearing his own voice, goes off subject, baracks and when dees have the play, he tells a story. Also a mathematical genius!

Just saw him in the backline number 41.

Haven't seen him, perhaps he is not playing.

We have the right team in the AFL. Want more from, Bedford, Chandler, J.Smith, Weids, Laurie. Too many fumbles and second to the ball. JJ showing some leadership. Van Royen doing all he can for a call up.

Heard Goody say they will have 3 days off. Does that mean the first finals prep training will probably be Tuesday, 9.30 am at Gosch's? What a great start for the finals series. Beautiful weather for them, hope a few take advantage of the Qld coast.

Coaches did them, good study of the oppo's player, their ball movers and game winners were given nothing. No lesser lights stood up in the vacuum. Great start, kept the foot down and didn't let them get away in the third. Good transition footy (the change from offence to defence), predicted their attempts to get the corridor, great scoring from the turnovers. Galvanising win.

Brissy will have to take it on. Can we defend a team coming hard at us and score on the counter-attack.

This has been our way this year. Cannot let the intensity drop in the second half. Fagan would have told them to play on the edge. It hasn't worked. Galvanised us and they dropped their skills. Great team effort. Standing up for each other. Playing well into the forward area.

They try and rough us up and forgot to play footy. No protection from the umps again. Keep at it Dees.

Would also include Bowey in that mix as a small forward, and possibly Laurie. Though glad Melky got a chance to prove himself.

Inconsistency and poor decision making comes with being a youngish player. This can improve and Weids has had more time in the system. I see him as a much more natural footy player than Weids. Being clean comes with confidence, and I have seen him play a clean style. As you say, inconsistency so you also have seen some times when he does well. As for skills, he kicks well, though occasionally you can see he gets the jips. Handballing he sometimes appears to not be focused, takes it a bit easy and will miss his target. I have seen him with very quick hands and can be a play maker. Funny how we see different aspects and come to different conclusions. You might be disappointed when he remains with us in the 22 for a few more seasons. Give him a bit more time. Though I may be wrong and not you and apologise now if that becomes the case.

Still has weaknesses, but fooled, no. Gee, you're a bit black or white. So it wasn't "a genuine question", you had an agenda! Do you see any redeeming assets in Sparrow's game?
