Birch has been fantastic today

We need a bang bang bang here

need another 26 points or thereabouts and keep the eagles scoreless

Good girl Mackin. show em how its done

We should be 50 points up. Good chances not converted unfortunately. Looks like the weather has turned so it's not looking likely we can make this up. 5 goals to zip 3rd quarter minimum requirement

Umps are being kind to us this quarter

Superb goal Zanker. Another 2 goals this quarter and its on

Umps don;t like Tayla Harris

Good opportunities gone to waste early. Can't afford inaccuracy.

We need a 5 goal first quarter to get us going and keep the foot down from there Looking like soggy conditions so it's a big big ask but you never know The Eagles are terrible so we'll win big but I just can't see us winning by the 90 odd points required. Dees by 60 points I reckon

Pies showing heart and fighting hard but no outside run and nothing happening inside 50 for them. Lions clearly the better team

I hope the pies lose but keep it tight enough such that the Lions lose some percentage. We then make up the percentage tomorrow against a pretty woeful Eagles outfit.

Bowser, if he can add a couple of kg's to the frame, could take his game to another level

I doubt we'll hear much more from Peter Lawrence. He hasn't endeared himself to the broader membership and in my view has shown poor judgement in how he has gone about his nomination for a directorship last year and this constitutional review. I think his intentions are good, if misguided, but he can't be the figurehead for any future member led initiative. He's tainted

In an open election there is never 98% one way. Not even Putin gets 98% I thought the vote would be carried but didn't really have a sense by how much other than thinking it was unlikely to get more than 90% in favour I think there are always contrarians who will vote against. And to be fair there have been some valid concerns raised by dissenters in this thread. Some of their points I would agree with but not enough for me to vote against. I don't think 16% against is significant or is anywhere close enough to suggest a general lack of faith in the board. Or enough to undermine or de-stabilise.

84% is pretty comprehensive. Hopefully no more board related distraction for a while. The focus should be on our teams

Great to see him working hard in the off season. Great attitude i think I recall him saying he probably overdid it last year I’m terms of continuing to train on and not resting properly before preseason. I hope he makes sure he puts his feet up and properly recharges before season 2023.

The big 3 had the toughest fixtures for sure They also have the best records which says a lot about the gap between the top and bottom teams. 240% + for the Lions and us is pretty lob-sided as well

He contributed to a flag so yes, I'm fine with it

i agree. that is BS behaviour

Please post photos of him with his mom. That would be lovely

I hope Lyon gets on max kings nerves and annoys him enough that he seeks a trade. We’ll be waiting with open arms if that happens.

finishing top also means we won't play the Crows in the QF. they have regressed this year but still a formidable opponent. Best avoided Eagles are ordinary and have nothing to play for. Hoping for tranquil conditions at Casey next week and the girls to show no mercy

Their recruitment has stuffed up. Thats where the clean out is required Ratten did a reasonable job in the circumstances. Too good actually because that finals appearance and good start to last year gave a false impression of where their list was at. The dangers of exceeding expectations Tha said i am looking forward to seeing how Lyon goes this time around. Will be fun watching the train wreck unfold
