Some ripper games this weekend The dogs to get the better of the the Cats We'll beat the Swans in a tight tussle Freo have their tails up after accounting for us last week and will beat the Lions. Suits us better if they do as well

I should have been clearer. its been a long time sine when made 5 non-covid enforced changes

Been a long time since we made 5 changes but other than Thommo for May, the incomers all improve the side

Fair summation Surprised we are only 17th in the comp for pressure applied

Looks a good player. Only 21 so great age profile. Hopefully she can develop in a dominant KPD for us Carlton can't hold onto their players at all. There must be something wrong with the culture there.

Personally i'm glad Buddy isn't playing. No match-up with May out. He has an x-factor and quite capable of kicking 3-4 goals against us so our chances of winning are 10-15% better with him suspended.

Reckon Buddy's counsel took a leaf of this Jackies Chiles book

what a pantomime the swans should be penalised for bringing a vexatious claim and wasting everyone's time

Her old man is a Port champion. She's Port Adeliade through and through. I don't think she leaves the Crows if Port were just another club Money is a factor no question but they have already won 3 premierships. Perhaps the challenge of helping establish a new club would appeal

Sydney must have some basis for the appeal (no idea what it is mind). Why else would they spend the time and energy on a lost cause. And it disrupts/distracts them from their preparations for the game. Very strange

And hopefully Adelaide lose more players. Erin Phillips a start but i would like to see one of Marinoff or Hatchard leave. There was talk of Hatchard to Port but its gone quiet. Marinoff's family are Port supporters

Pies nearly choked but Carlton were due a tight loss

The pies will rue their inaccuracy

Pies bringing the heat. Carlton will have to play well to win this game

Weitering subbed out due to injury. Huge loss for Carlton

I agree he should have taken on the shot. Apologies I wasn't clear. When i say squib i meant he squibbed the decision to shoot

I reckon if Nibbler had kicked that goal right at the start of Q4 if could have given us the lift we needed. Instead he squibbed it and the moment was lost

Can't fathom why he can't create contests at least. Comes down to appetite for contact i think. He just doesn't seem to have it unfortunately

Missed lingers badly Petty not fit may injury insurmountable defensive structured stuffed Too many injuries Must beat swans

Good morning EO. Did you go to the game with your 6yo? Dogga is wrestling with a decision to stay or go. It’s a big life decision. Consumes energy. If subconsciously (or indeed consciously) he’s not fully committed, then very difficult to be at your best I think signing and committing can only be a good thing for his form

we looked cooked

His contract situation is a distraction and impacting his form. He should sign up and focus on his footy

I remember him taking 2 marks in the goal square in the 3rd quarter. last line of defence

if lingers fit then absolutely he comes back in

May a big in game loss but lets not forget Lingers. Badly missed today
