4.5 - thank heavens percentage is not an issue.

Brown what a mark after losing his feet :-)

Jeez we are lucky they are so terrible - out on the full there. Edit: ...and made them pay beautifully :-)

Such horse****. And he was taken high not paid at the earlier centre bounce.

Goody down on the boundary again. Good to see.

Much better Oliver. Looking forward to Fritsch's behind here.

Could get ugly

I'd bet my house that if a tally was done of last-minute-of-quarter goals against over the last few years, we would be miles ahead of the rest of the competition.

I may be recalling incorrectly, but he seemed to perform better alongside Jackson.

You can ink an opposition goal in the last minute of each quarter against Melbourne.

Oh FFS Fritsch.

Can you be more specific, please?

Way to go Hunt

Saad's job interview today?

Early signs suggest we should tear them apart today.

True, that would be very Melbourne. Followed by an 8-goal Hogan haul tomorrow night to bring Freo the win that would have gotten us in.

If he kicks 5 of anything it'll be 5 behinds.

If he does nothing else, please, Weid, crash the [censored] out of some packs.

Nailed by the Bulldogs back in 2016 Preliminary Final.

Some classic truths there, e.g. "Melbourne choke or Melbourne by 100 equally as likely." My favourite might just be "If Saintz win tonight can we just mutually agree with Dees to call this game off?" Tomorrow night could be anything.

Over to you, Longmuir.

I find it a little distasteful that this is thrown back on supporters, as though it would somehow be antithetical to the club's culture to suggest a loyal club servant's time might be up. At the end of 2019, Jones was given a 1 year contract, acknowledging his experience and proximity to a significant individual milestone. It must be desperately disappointing for him that a COVID-reduced season and injuries have pushed his 300 milestone out of reach, but we can't perpetually hold a list spot open to facilitate personal milestones unless it's mutually beneficial to the team and club.

This is a relief. I was worried that he'd miss a chunk of it given the duration.

That'll be mighty stressful, we'd need the Giants to pull saints pctge down by several % so we can leapfrog them, while not themselves lifting their own pctge by the 6% to overtake us. Imagine beating dons by a point, our % would fall fractionally - we really need a big win to maximise our chances. Perilous stuff! Come on Weid, time for your break-out 7-goal haul.

Our %ge 106.2, theirs was 100.3 before this game, but is now up to 104.4 on live ladder. If they keep this up we'll need a solid margin next week to get over them.
