TMac doing well so far.

The young guys coming in has infused the team with some youthful energy. The boys will be confident and believe they can win. I think we'll deliver a performance. Not sure of a win but we will not capitulate this time. Tough ask over there but its Freo we’re up against. They are liable to [censored] the bed. There's plenty of reason to be hopeful. Heart says gutsy win, head says gallant 15-point loss

very enjoyable watching the pies getting pantsed like this.

Suns goal kicking has been putrid

Toby Greene has kicked 2 class goals today. Love watching him play. favourite non dees player

perfect result and finish. great start to the weekend. the game had everything except defending

don;t [censored] this up now crows

crazy crazy game

umps aside, crows have been pathetic this quarter so far

crows have dropped about 5 simple marks so far this quarter. very sloppy work

defending optional tonight from both teams.

I hate this idea

Has the silly season has started early this year? mid July and multiple trade threads on the go. Re Clarry the only way he gets traded is if he steps out of line again behaviourally. that doesn't appear to be the case. no doubt he is not producing to the level his contract size warrants but he has plenty of credits in the bank. Let's see how he goes next year with a full preseason. I'm sure we'll see the old Clarry back again (as long as he stays on the straight and narrow) Re these "journalists", they write it because we click on it. We drive their behaviour not the other way around. direct your outrage at the punters who gobble this stuff up.

Some people are hard pleased. he won us a flag, a rare feat. Of course he's a legend. Can't believe it's even up for debate.

Magnificent win. Great to beat that mob. some great kids coming through. Future looks secure.

Best of luck dees from the west coast of Ireland.

No time to be making rash decisions. Plenty of credits in the bank. Get a proper preseason under his belt before making a decision on his future. That said, if the opportunity arose, I’d definitely consider swapping him for Charlie curnow.

England are so predictable. Like clockwork. They'll get knocked out in the last 16 by Romania or Austria or similar. The wrist slitting will be a joy to behold. Not sure who Southgate has blackmailed to stay in the job so long. He is a terrible coach. I hope they never appoint a proper coach because they have some very good players. They might actually win something. Just as well we're the other side of the world if that happened. They would be insufferable.

He staged. He got fined. Fair enough

Allen and Darling missing gettable set shots just before 3 quarter time. bombers more accurate and that's the difference. Eagles not out it but they got to convert their chances in the last.

I'm not sure whether it's a coping mechanism or entitlement but DL is not handling this form dip very well at all.

This is a really good game between bombers and eagles

hopefully Eagles can keep this up

A lot of passengers at the moment. Chin, Bowey, howes. Windsor's form has tailed off badly. but you can't drop half the team. Bring back Lever for Tomlinson. And I reckon Kynan Brown deserves a full game instead of Chin.

She’ll be disappointed like the rest of us. But that’s the life of a sports fan. Disappointment most of the time. All we can demand is effort and commitment from the team. And we got that consistently for the last 3 years. Something has gone awry this year. No idea what but its not a happy camp based on the performances delivered. The rest is the vagaries of sport. Battered and bruised coming into 22 finals. Couldn’t kick straight last year against the pies or Carlton. As a fan you just go with the flow. Constant sh*tting on the team just marks you out as an abusive fan. We’re not winning a flag this year. A spot from 6-8 is what we’re playing for I reckon. Hopefully win a final and at least get that monkey off our backs. Adjust your expectations and you’ll enjoy it more. Focus on the development of the promising youngsters we have. Let the club do their review at the end of the year and change up the coaching team as needed. In the meantime, get along to the games if you can and just support the team.
