You’ve figured out how to use spell checker which is great cos now your posts are legible. Now you just need to read others posts properly. Read what I wrote and have another go at responding.

We do like to wallow. it might help people overcome the close/unlucky losses if they also acknowledged the close/lucky wins. The suns should have beaten us so for me the freo game balanced the ledger. Port and pies have been more consistent so far this season. They deserve to be top 2. We’re leading the chasing pack which, on balance is exactly where we deserve to be. In terms of picks there isn’t that much difference between 5-10 which is the range we’ll end up with. JT will do his thing and find a quality player for us.

Suns have improved a lot this season. I expect them to beat Carlton today and have a good crack at getting into the 8. Would be great to see them make finals (I've lambasted them for a long time, but they are finally showing some ticker). Would be magnificent if they made finals at the expense of Essendon.

Freo caught us on a bad day. everything went right for them, and we were rubbish. Days like that can happen during the season. They are trending downwards and we're pushing top 2 so I suggest we all move on from that defeat.

All Giants this quarter. Freo very poor

Toby Greene is a gun

huge 50 on the stroke of quarter time. Great start Giants. death ride going full throttle.

Fox just brough up Toby Bedford's stats for the year so far. Not shabby at all

He saved 2 people from drowning in Torquay a couple of summers ago. I can’t rag on him since then (he does love himself though)

Lions have taken control. Swans need to stem the bleeding quickly otherwise this game is over.

Nice gift to the Swans. They needed that.

umps have inserted themselves into proceedings. harsh insufficient intent call leads to the goal

very soft 50 there

Pies look tired. They could easily drop some games and give us the chance to overtake them. Crows, suns and doggies in their next 3. Not an easy run at all.

We just posted simultaneously Wells I agree. They are a better team than 21. Time will tell if they can push through to the granny but they are very well placed now. I can't see anyone out of us, pies, Port and Lions winning it. And the Lions are showing some familiar frailties again. as i said in my previous post, i think we have the game plan to win at AO if required.

We have the defensive game to win at AO if required. I reckon we're the team others will fear most given how we strangled the pies offensive game. No one will want to play us. And i'm delighted the cast were beaten. they were not a factor at all after quarter time.

They choked badly against the doggies in the 21 PF so they have psychological scars to overcome. No guarantee they’ll make it but I think they will.

The cliff is looming for the cats. Finally

Cats look sharp early.

Giants and Suns to win. Something going on at the Lions so maybe the Swans can spring a surprise.

Very weird

Kossie is badly out of form but he should not be dropped. He just needs a spark to reignite and I reckon that’s far more likely to happen playing with the firsts than Casey

Heading to work on Monday morning (or Tuesday post KB game) always much easier after a big win.

I hope you've bought your grand final guarantee.

I hope Larkey doesn't sign on again with North. He'd be great in the red and blue but fair play if he sticks with North. I don't mind players showing loyalty to their club even if it means we miss out.
