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.

Weid clunking em today

bombers needed that.

Didn't recognise Ginnivan without the bleached hair.

Weid! Great mark and goal.

He has no timing. Jumps way too early.

Intense game and a 5 day turnaround. If we've learned anything from last year we'll rotate and manage players. May is not right. Give Disco Turner a spin. Would like to see BB play so Petty can go back.

Could have been better

Just listened to the JVR interview on fox footy after the game. Kid's a ripper. Jonathan Brown huge wraps on him as well. We have a real talent on our hands. Another JT special.
