There have been a couple of 2003-2020 level performances recently hence the reversion.

If our attitude and approach is right, we will win. If not, we could lose (if Richmond weren't so injury depleted, we would definitely lose) We'll find out tonight.

I'd give much more weight to the 6 H&A games they've played since then I guess time will tell picket.

I think 6 games is a large enough sample to make a reasonable call. Their defensive structure and game plan holds up. Their fixture is kind playing Lions, Suns, Hawks, North, Tiges and Carlton twice. I'm pretty confident they'll play finals.

St Kilda will play finals and give top 4 a nudge. They are very fit and well drilled.

If Hawks play like that against Freo they'll win

Clutch goal Fogarty. balls of steel

Crows have been off today but Hawks have brought the heat. Great win for them if they can hold out.

Hawks kicking skills quite poor.

back to the footy excellent first goal for the Hawks

He wasn't good yesterday. Poor body language and looking for cheapies. I don't think he'll ever fulfil his potential.

I figured out pretty early not to go shopping with the wife. I have no opinion about whether that top goes better with those shoes etc. Whatever she wears looks fine to me. She usually shops with her sisters. She's happier and I'm happier with that arrangement.

Injuries hasn’t stopped st Kilda fronting up every week this season and having a proper crack. attitude and standards should be the same irrespective of injury list. Swans aren’t bringing at the moment for whatever reason after years of really consistent application.

Great hands but set-shots very iffy. Working with chocco might help in that regard. Not entirely sure we need him given we have Fritsch and JVR and Jefferson showing early promise, but worth discussing for sure.

I did not expect the manner of their performance. it was the same that they dished up in the grand final (when they had no injuries). they were not injury depleted around the ball but still got smashed. Injury a factor for sure but something not right at the Swans. They have always been competitive but this year their drop off in performance when not playing well is massive. The toughness and hardness they've been renowned for over the years is gone.

can't believe how bad the swans are. this could become a 100 point drubbing yet.

pathetic defending swans

Swans are putrid

Looks like this could be a repeat of the granny.

brilliant mark himmelberg

Zac Bailey seems to have regressed.

Waving his arms around and carrying on. His captain should tell him to quit his sooking and get into the game.

Freo have improved each year with him as coach except for this year. He should be given another year to turn it around. And anyways I think list management has been as big a factor in their drop off this year as game plan. List management is Peter [censored]'s responsibility. I reckon he should go before Longmuir.

I think social media is much more toxic than booing at the game. Not saying booing is right but some of the stuff written on social media would be very hard to take.

I've been hoping for the bottom 4 teams to win to give them a chance of finishing above Freo. I dream of a top 3 pick!
