BDA

Umps doing their job so far. Hope it continues.

great to see that free kick given to Gawn. He gets blocked like that every game.

Thats why Salem is back in the team. Pin point accurate first kick

That first sip of wine after a hard week at work was very tasty. Really looking forward to this game. Go Dees

Don’t stray too far from the dunny today Phil

We’re winning this

Reckon North are a chance against Sydney. Swans have been well down recently. Very tough round to tip. You could make a reasonable case for how each team could win. And I'm jumping off the death ride this week. I want to see the Cats lose even if it does hurt our draft position.

We have a great bloc of games to look forward to starting with tonight. We've taken care of the easy beats without too much trouble, but Port will be a much sterner test. It won't be easy but our recent record against them is pretty good, and we play Adelaide Oval well. The tap brothers I feel will have a big influence on this one. He hasn't performed against decent opposition for a while so would love to see TMac clunk and kick a few. His 2021 form was a long time ago. Great having Salem back as well. He's pure class. It'll be tight but the Dees to prevail by 15 points. Go Narrm!

They don’t fight

Great to see Salem back. Fingers crossed he can stay fit for the rest of the year.

And some people are easily offended (not saying that’s the case here)

Fair comment if accusers did not intend their comments to become public knowledge or be part of a process where they would be required to give evidence publicly / on the record to an investigation. That being the case I don't see how this investigation can proceed.

All round shambles. If accusers aren't prepared to give evidence to back-up their claims, then the claims need to be withdrawn. Simple as that. And Clarkson and Fagan are entitled to seek damages for having their reputations dragged through the mud.

God dammit.

We have a great record against the pies in grand finals. Beaten them 6 times while they have beaten us just the once.

Adelaide kicking straight for once.

Death riding suspended next week. Cannot stomach barracking for the cats. we have freo the week after. I want us to bring our A game and smash ‘em. Knock whatever confidence they’ve built up over the past 2 weeks out of them.

Fair call. They did bring effort. there should never be 100 point wins. Only happens if teams stop trying and capitulate. When we played north they weren’t trying and only for a late flurry of goals in junk time we would have won the game by the tonne.

May said after the game the Hawks jumped us after half time. Thats how it looked to me as well. Those 3 quick goals fired them up and got them into the contest for the quarter. Outside of that purple patch they were very ordinary. We were pretty much doing as we pleased. A very straight forward win. As an aside, I don't think Gary Lyon should commentate on Dees games. He was painful early in the 3rd when Hawks got on top briefly.

Other than injuries no change. Trac after the game said the was no problem with the ankle so i expect he'll play against Port. Would dearly love to see BBB and TMAc find some form. Can't see Petty, JVR and Max/Grundy carrying this team to victory come September.

True but you can only beat what's in front of you. We have a proper bloc of games from here to the bye. Port, a resurgent Freo, Carlton and Pies. We'll know a lot more after those games.

exciting finish at Marvel

These goal line reviews are becoming a blight on the game. Wasted time for no good reason.

Genius it is. Who's you're upset tip for next weekend?

Hopefully petty and trac ok. Bigger challenges to come. We bank the 4 points and move on.
