Excellent mark and goal from Owens. He looks a decent player

how was that not head high

Saints gone to sleep. Ross the boss won't be happy with that.

Ordinary so far from Port

This is the best man for the job BBO.

We crawled over the line last year Hdm because our players were dead on their feet and/or carrying niggling injuries. Use the full list of players. It's why we have a list. And if we don't think the likes of Schache, Laurie, Dunstan etc. aren't capable of playing a role against North then what's the point in having them on the list at all.

Some great games to look forward to. I fancy Port tonight. They've had a very difficult first 5 games to be 3-2. Had a training run against the Eagles last week so will be fresh for this one. Not sure which way bombers and cats will go. Crows to beat the pies. They're a very tough opponent at Adelaide Oval. I'm glad we play them at the G this year.

Looks like being a very good player for sure. But he's a 6 gamer. We shouldn't be worried about facing a 6 gamer.

LDU out makes our job so much easier. Super player. Larkey NQR either so the only north player that worries me is Cunnington. If we’re on we should win handily unless we take it a little easier given the short turnaround.

delighted for nibbler. Not the most skilled player but plays his role brilliantly and a great example of how hard work and application gets you a long way.

I thoroughly dislike west coast and their nuffie supporters

Good luck Josh Schache

The Lions will pump Freo this weekend. 50 points minimum I reckon.

I'm delighted Tassy have a team. Should have happened a long time ago. And i doubt player retention will be a problem. It's not a problem for the cats and Hobart is a much nicer spot than Geelong.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns fold. They're a nothing team. That'll solve the odd number of teams problem.

we won't use 3 1st round picks on Harley Reid

Grundy is better than Luke at this stage. What’s controversial about saying that? Luke Jackson will come good. Just hope it’s not this year though.

It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it. DL is very grateful Luci.

I don't think the Anzac ceremony is over the top. I think it strikes the right tone, is respectful and dignified. The night setting adds to the solemnity of the occasion. Nothing about the ceremony is tacky or exploitative in my opinion.

Anyone posting that Kossie mind might be elsewhere triggers @rpfc. I wouldn't take it to heart Kev. We all get on someone's nerves at some point.

Massive choke from the bombers. Second year in a row too.

This post is aging well.

pies pulled a lot of games out of the fire last year but i can't see them coming back here. Bombers have their measure.

Draper dribbling like Lionel Messi

pies butchering opportunities.
