Think you're reading too much into my post but ok.

I love Kossie, not taking a pot shot here, but so far this year he’s got himself suspended for 2 games for a very reckless bump (would have been for a lot longer if Bailey Smith had been hurt) and he kicked 5 behinds v the Eagles which were quite gettable. We are setting the bar low for him if that is our expected standard.

It’s an extra round of footy. What’s wrong with that?

Kossie needs to make his decision so he can focus on his footy. The longer he leaves it the more energy he uses up and the greater the distraction is. Of course, he could have made his mind up already...

The suns won't be under the blowtorch because nobody cares.

they have 2 big problems which can't be fixed in the short term. 1. they have no forwards. Jackson is not a forward, Taberner is bereft of confidence. Amiss might be a player with time. Walters nearing the end. How will they kick a score to win matches? 2. a dour defensive game plan. The game has moved on but Freo stuck with a 2021 template. No dash, no run and carry. I think they are headed for a 6-win season. If the Suns beat them at the weekend, you can make that a 5-win season (Suns are pathetic themselves so I'm not pinning any hopes on them doing us a favour)

The Hawks drop off in the second half was alarming. I genuinely thought they were a chance to win the game at halftime. They will have to show much more fortitude if they are to win many more games this season.

this game is over. Think i'll take the dog for a walk

Hawks have youth and effort, Geelong have Cameron. it's a 50/50 game i reckon

conditions a big factor and no lack of effort on display but other than Cameron this is a very low quality affair

Young MacKenzie will be a good player i'm sure but he's a liability today. butchering every possession

Frost ball!

Great effort from the Hawks but lacking polish

Hawks forward 50 pressure and tackling is excellent

Cameron the only thing standing between Geelong and the cliff

Hawks lack composure going inside 50. And young Mackensie is burning teammates and butchering shots on goal.

I prefer 16th and 17th this season. I want Freo to finish last.

Geelong are slow and predictable

I'm hoping the Hawks can give the Cats another nudge towards the cliff today.

Richmond are old and slow and have mortgaged the future on 2 GWS midfielders. Cotchin, Riewoldt and dusty on their last legs. No finals for them I reckon. Surprised so many people tipped them for top 4.

6. Grundy 5. Fritsch 4. Viney 3. TMac 2. trac 1. Rivers

Good to see tmac find some form and jvr snag a couple. Fritsch oozing pure class as usual. Nice percentage boost and no injuries. bring on the bombers

Always enjoyable belting west coast. Thoroughly dislikeable mob.

We like belting teams at Optus

Our tackling has been very good today
