If Mac Andrew wasn't tied to our academy would we be even talking about him? Dogga has the ruck position covered so why would we draft him. He doesn't fill an obvious need.

We mustn't have had a say. This trip makes no sense on any level for the club. We've copped the worst of it financially missing out on the QB and Alice games and now have to travel to Darwin in the run up to finals for no logical reason. If anything the club should have told the AFL where to go. We don't owe them money and are not beholden to them. Or maybe we are in financial trouble and there's a quid pro quo here somewhere. I'd like to know what it is because on face value there is no reason why we would agree to this.

I know we're not a team that wins by big margins but surely we should smash Adelaide in Round 22. They have their cue in the rack and the holidays booked by the looks of it. I switched off after half time. One of the worst Friday night games since Carlton stuck it up a few seasons ago after being inexplicably handed some prime time slots.

So we're not the only club that worries about whether Carlton have gone past us

BB looks lean and fit. Copped a hefty hit early but shrugged it off. He may only have had 10 touches but I don’t remember him wasting any possessions. Ground level game much better than he gets credit for. Marked the ball when delivered in front of him. Brought the ball to ground on occasion Got nudged under a few but delivery wasn’t ideal. If we can hit him up leading out from the square we’ll really be in business. Now that his body is right I expect him to grow into the role and cement his spot. I’ve no axe to grind with the Weid and hope one day he can fulfil his potential, but for mine BB stays in the team for the rest of the year

Why is Dermie still getting paid work?

BT is obviously a boofhead and James Brayshaw's sshtick is well past its use by date. for me though the most beige and banal commentator is Cameron Ling. For the type of player he was I would have assumed a forthright, no nonsense style. He's the exact opposite. I've never heard a single insight pass his lips

I always listen to the commentary muted but gave it a go last night because BT wasn't commenting. I'm glad i did because Justin Leppitsch was excellent. Worth putting up with the other nuffies if he's involved. AFLW commentary was very good this year as well. None of the hyperbolic BS you get with the mens commentary

Harmes has been poor. I'd seriously consider dropping him but will understand if he's retained. A poor game against the Hawks though and he'll have to make way.

Great response last night after a rough patch of form Our stars shone but nearly every player contributed Petty’s best game in the red and blue. Hunt having a great season and far exceeding my expectations. JJ is a revelation. So consistent. The heir to James McDonald? BB looked fit and mobile. His presence made a huge difference and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that TMac was back to his best last night with BB in the team beside him Harmes is a worry. ANB fumbly but ran himself into the ground. Dogga quiet but clunked an excellent mark and slotted our first goal. He’ll be some weapon in years to come Shout out to goody and the coaching team. We’ve had a tough run but back to our best last night. We were switched on from the get-go All in all a very satisfactory nights work Go Dees

i was half joking jnr First time this year my faith was starting to waver. Last 3 games uninspiring. We were back to our suffocating best though last night. Pressure gauge turned right back up again. Hence i'm back on the bandwagon

Reckon we secured Top 4 tonight. Massive win.

Great to have Kozzie back. excellent tonight. kicked his goals and pressure right up again.

Quick. everybody back on the bandwagon

Port are the very definition of pretenders

Hibbo having a great final quarter

how can olivers kicking for goal be so bad

ballsy kick by May and well marked by brayshaw

reckon 7 should ditch BT completely and hold onto Leppitsch

Langers radar way off tonight

almost another junk time goal TMac delivered when we needed him to i think we've weathered the storm

dumb handballing. get it to the wings ffs

from the ridiculous to the sublime. On ya TMac

ah Langers. not his best game.
