The death riding thread was good fun there for a while. Would love if freo fell back in a hole

I like having a Thursday night game to watch.

Tough loss for North but they have plenty of talent to work with. They've drafted very well.

Cracking game

Bad bad miss sheezel. all the time in the world to run it in or pass it off

I'd prefer if half their team was injured or suspended.

Good game this. See sawing back and forth.

Bombers have woken up unfortunately.

We should look at it as a dress rehearsal for September 30

Confidence growing. Our defensive solidity is returning and some key players missing for them. I think we’ll do it.

I’ll be shouting hard for north today.

You think AFL has a lot of interpretation you should take a look at Rugby Union! Gaelic football referees get lambasted all the time because nobody knows what a legal Gaelic football tackle is. The thing that sets AFL umpiring apart is the number and frequency of dreadful decisions. Interpretation is one thing but how in heaven did the ump think Dockerty deserved a free on Friday night. Everyone around me were scratching their heads. And there are lots of those decisions every weekend. Set aside time, money and resources to help improve the standard. It's a no brainer so why isn't it being done?

I'm expecting nothing from the Eagles. It would be good if they could soften up the pies, inflict a couple of injuries though.

I'm on my fourth cup so you could be right.

I’ve woke up this morning feeling very confident we’ll beat the pies. Wishful thinking perhaps but I reckon we’ll play with more freedom because no one expects us to win

Salem was very good and has been since he returned. His sharpness is not there understandably. Missed a couple of kicks out of defence early which he’ll nail soon enough. Took the wrong option when in space and heading towards goal in the 3rd I think it was. Should have gone for home rather than going to the pocket. But otherwise very good if we’re going to win a flag im sure a fit and firing Salem will be a big part of it

Winning ugly is better than losing ugly. Liked our defensive solidity. the 3rd tall is a must from here on. Delivery inside 50 not good. Shooting practice this week Chocco style. No one expects us to win next week which takes the pressure off. without that burden we might just produce a performance and surprise the pies. Go dees

At the risk of sounding like a parrot I think it t would be good to get BB back into the team next week. And van roo was excellent

A win is a win is a win. Made heavy weather of it but don’t care. It was all about the 4 points tonight. I’ll worry about the pies tomorrow. go dees

Spargs needs a spell at Casey. His form is horrible

Rubbish i50 delivery

Need to translate this dominance. Carlton ordinary but they’ll have a spell themselves

Great play van Rooyen

Really smart delivery to chandler there.
