Hoping the Swans can have one of their inexplicable performances today. The Crows have been competitive and will crack in although have struggled to score. Reckon they're an outside chance isf the Swans aren't switched on

Just win please. Season on the line for the doggies so it won't be easy. Predicting Clarry BOG (because he's a beast) Hoping to read positive comments about the Weid in the gameday thread during the game. We're all willing you on Sammy Dees by 15pts

2 horror late mistakes cost the Tiges the W intense game. I'm tired from watching it so the players must be completely cooked. Freo went hard so will be tired next week i reckon

Bolta you dipstick

Tiges effort has been top notch tonight

Cotchin will and truly cooked. zero impact tonight

Tiges are spent. struggling to get the ball forward. Freo will win from here

I doubt the LJ situation is a distraction for the group. If he was a core player maybe but reality is he's a 3rd year player and understudy to Maxy. Can provide some cameos and has great potential but he is not central to our chnaces of success this year. future years he definitely is but not at the moment. Maxy, Trac, clarry, Rick will be focussed on the prize, not distracted at all i reckon. DL very distracted but not the leaders in the team

Tiges doing a nice job softening up Freo for us before we play them next week

Tiges goal kicking is putrid. shameful miss from bolta

Tiges goal kicking will cost them this game A good consolation for us though is they are knocking lumps out of Freo

Tiges goal kicking letting them down. Very much on top this quarter. Should be about 20 points ahead

some serious tackling in this game. Fyfe nailed just then and Munday has copped 2 bruising hits so far

Good game so far. both teams bringing the heat

Prefer the tiges win this one. helps keep Freo below us

If we're going to raid the Giants, Toby Greene please. He can be the exception to our no DH rule Not interested in anyone else on their list. They all put in when it suits them whereas Toby Greene is consistently brilliant

Great to see Petty back in the side. I hope we can keep a settled defence for the rest of the season. Tough on tommo. did nothing wrong last week Clarry is a beast. Watch out bulldogs Melks plays game 202. He keeps proving me wrong. Good for him

people get very emotional and one-eyed around here sometimes. he's an employee. he's been offered (purportedly) a ridiculous amount of money to move elsewhere. It's a short career so i can't blame him for taking that offer. I reckon 95% of DL posters would do the same if they were in Luke's position. He could still help us to win another flag so let's make sure we get the best from him for the rest of the season. At season's end we'll get the best deal for the club we can and move on ( i reckon it'll be a top 10 pick and next years future first)

Dermie. Lol I don’t think her voice is high-pitched at all. Not sure why people think it is She’s the best female commentator/analyst by a country mile. Abbey Holmes and Bec Goddard not bad. The female talent falls away pretty sharply after that

Confirmed by goody. Clarry will play Clarry's back: Ball-magnet Melbourne Demon Clayton Oliver to return, coach confident on Jake Lever (afl.com.au)

I don't want the Swans to finish top 4. They play the G very well and will have no fear of playing us or anyone else there. I hope they chit the bed in an elim final like they did last year

Plenty of ability but doesn't have the temperament or professionalism to fully realise his undoubted talent. Partying in Bali during the bye shows where his priorities lie. Plus, he seems to be a [censored]. Big no from me That said culturally we should be able to accommodate and get the best out of wayward characters. Not too many all at once though. Perhaps a quota of one. And if I did have to pick one undesirable to include in the squad it would be Toby Greene. How much better would our forward set-up look with him playing there. He’d be hard work keeping him on the straight and narrow (off-field and on) but I reckon he’d be worth it. He is signed up with the Giants but who knows when he’ll commit his next indiscretion and perhaps become available

He was excellent against the Tiges on the weekend. Good hands and kicks accurately. I'm sure we'd find a spot for him. He could bring Larkey with him as well

Stengle has been a good pick up as well Danger, Selwood, Smith. Great players but too many miles on the clock. I just can't see them holding up under finals intensity

Baffles me why people think Geelong are a contender. They’ve tweaked the game plan and are playing well granted but they are a year older again. Watch them wilt come finals time. I really hope we get to play them and knock them out of finals again.
