For the majority of that game it was like watching a boa constrictor slowly crush it's next meal. We were really disjointed trying to go inside fifty though. Hawthorn at their peak would have won that game by 20 goals.

Those pickings were more likely over at the nearby tech school Ethan. At ours you were more likely to stumble across kids practicing sex ed when they should have been in geography class.

The posh private schools in England (ie Eton) are confusingly called public schools where over here a public school is generally a state school. Back home I attended an Academy before we emigrated and it had a swimming pool, gymnasium, music rooms with lots of instruments and both hockey and football fields all within the grounds and was totally free. Over here I went to Cleeland High in Dandenong where the one 'oval' which was actually a football (round ball) field only had it's grass cut once every six months on a parent working bee day by which time it was three feet high and we had to pay for absolutely everything. Some contrast.

I clicked on an AFL article on Daisy this week on fb and made the mistake of reading the comments underneath and they were all men complaining about how they’re sick of her screechy voice when commenting and how they’re sick of AFLW always being about her so they hope the Dees get smashed this week. Sad people.

Disappointing to see Ben Brown miss. He'll be disappointed too no doubt as I'm sure he would have stayed over to watch the girls play on Saturday.

I haven't seen a team capitulate this badly since....last night.

Fair play to the Saints. They always find just the right mix of overpriced crocks, front runners and mediocre talent that will see them finish mid table for infinity.

Cracking round of football so far with only North stinking it up.

This has turned into a really good game. Hawks look to have bottomed out and are now on the rise whilst the Blues are still a work in progress, particularly at the back.

At this rate Hawthorn could drop from 173% to 73%.

Frosty having a 'mare so far.

Can North to go any further south?

Brisbane flexing their muscles by crushing 18th, 17th & 15th on the ladder so far. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

If Chris Scott had coached Geelong in a different era he would've signed Cliff Young as a category b rookie.

I think Collingwood put their watches forward an hour instead of back.

I've seen spinach take longer to wilt than Collingwood in that last quarter.

Pies have pooped the bed.

Cats and Bombers making tentative Mad Monday reservations as we speak. 😊

Doesn't look like there's that much of a crowd at the G tonight either. Should suit Jeremy Howe. He used to play for the current premiers apparently.

They're not even GWS supporters. The fire alarm went off in a nearby high rise apartment block and the designated muster point is Giants Stadium.

I think the only time those level 2 seats at GWS have had any @rses on them was that prelim against the Dogs a few years ago.

I thought he was going to have an aneurysm when that Essendon player's boot came flying off.

This commentator needs to get out more. It's only a VFL game ffs. Calm down.

Anyone heard from Mick Malthouse?

Just back from the game. Will need to watch the replay but for much of the night it felt like watching a cat playing with a mouse. Port playing for their season next week so will likely have to play more in 3rd gear.
