Works well in the NFL because a small number of teams qualify for the playoffs. You need a very good W L record to secure a wildcard spot. Playing finals after winning 10 games would demean the competition.

There's a gulf between the top and bottom teams. We're much better off playing the better teams. Those with soft draws will be found out come finals. First time playing Geelong in the ALFW and would you have guessed; it'll be at taxpayer funded park. Haven't we seen enough of that [censored] pile. Great first up game against the pies. I'll for sure get along to that one. Really looking forward to the season. Pretty confident we can go back-to-back given the players Brisbane and Adelaide have lost to the expansion teams.

It’s a long shot I know but I’m daring to dream.

Hawks doing their bit for the death ride. I would love it if they managed to overtake Freo and delivered us pick 3.

sacrilege OD. sacrilege

They can’t win at the G. 14 losses in last 15 attempts. Can’t even beat hawthorn. They have a 1000 pound gorilla on their back and until they actually win a game there I doubt too many people will have them as favourites.

Grand old flag is far and away the best theme song in the league. Obviously. Tigerland not bad and I don’t mind the Crows song. other than those I don’t care much for the rest of them.

Nothing you can do about hateful social media comments. Best thing is to stay away from Insta, twitter and all the rest of them until your career is finished. the Weid is a decent back up player. Can cover injuries in the ruck and forward. He is not best 22 for any club in the league. That’s clear at this stage. I hope things work out for him. He’s a decent lad by all accounts.

We'll beat the Crows without too much fuss next week. their away record is very shabby.

my post was tongue in cheek we do need a KPF but there aren't any available unless we try to pry Ben King from the suns somehow.

I hate seeing Geelong in 5th place. And hate admitting that Tom Hawkins is a great KPF

It's a pity more Essendon supporters can't be there to witness this.

Pathetic performance from Essendon

don't forget the big home ground advantage.

Devoured by Vermin

Hate Geelong but seeing at they are going to win this anyways i hope they beat Essendon by 100+ points

Essendon Lol

hedge your bets and just barrack for the draw.

Brain fade Weitering. Should have let it go through for a behind

Carlton will rue this inaccuracy if they lose this game.

Skills in the GC Saints very poor

They are not trying honour the coach. It's self interest. They want to demonstrate that they are not the problem and if they had a proper coach they would be getting better results.

getting ugly now for Freo. if the pies are of a mind they could win this by 100 points.

Pies starting to cut loose now. I'll be surprised at anything less than a 50-point freo loss.

Zorko, surely
