Everyone seems to have forgotten the lions dire record at the G (their only win coming against us when we were battered and bruised in the finals last year). Rain or not we’ll beat them.

2 goals to 3 quarter time. Pathetic from freo. And hilarious

Let it go. We'll finish top 4 regardless.

Freo have a tough run in. If they play like this for the rest of the season then pick 4 is a genuine possibility.

Ordinary first quarter from Freo. Looks like it's going to be a day for the death riders.

It was annoying listening to Darcy barrack for the Saints last night but he's still salty because we brutalised his beloved doggies in the 21GF. Very transparent. Most of the media are just hacks so tbh I don't really care what they have to say.

Goody made some big calls at the selection table and they paid off against the Saints. Kudos to him. I'm glad JVR has had a couple of weeks to recharge at Casey but i want to see him come in against the Lions. If we win the flag, he'll be in the 22 for sure. I want to see him tested against another contender and also see how he goes working in tandem with BBB. We need that partnership to click so the more games they play together before finals the better.

Far out, some people are never happy.

Saints made it very difficult but we absorbed everything they threw at us and got the win. Goal kicking much improved. Trac accurate for once. Liked Melks game. Steven May very good. Taj did well on his debut. We won’t get ahead of ourselves but that win takes the pressure off so hopefully now we can kick on, build some form and hopefully have a dip at the flag Go Dees

Luke Darcy is painful

Melks has more than justified his selection

Credit to the saints for effort but in the circumstances we should not be letting them dominate us like this. If they kicked straight we’d be in real trouble.

Melks has Missed a couple of marks

Saints down 3 men makes it very difficult for them. We should run over the top of them in the second half.

A lot of stupid handballing going on. No awareness

Kicking straight thankfully

jeez, toby bedford butchered that opportunity badly.

Out of form defensive Dees v Ross Lyons coached team = 0.5% chance of an "enjoyable" game. This game will not be one for the purists.

Kick straight, we win. If we're inaccurate again we lose it's as simple as that.

super player Elliot. great hands

Dogs moving the ball well. They've built into the season nicely and are a big chance of taking the final top 4 spot.

Weightman is a decent player

His form is down like everyone else’s. However he’s more likely than most to be the one to provide the spark to get our season going again.

I’ve no idea if true or not. Just responding to a post here.

I highly doubt Tomlinson would have been utterly shocked that Petty, premiered defender Petty, who was playing in the team until injured, was picked ahead of him. my opinion on who gets dropped or not doesn’t matter. And thommos opinion or any other players opinion doesn’t count either. The coach makes the call. He’ll be judged on his team selections come seasons end.
