We'll win in spite of our rubbish goal kicking

Gotta say. Colvin has really improved as the season has progressed.

Composure girls. 1 goal from here will win it for us.

brilliant goal against the run of play.

This game is not over yet by any means. Freo are a second half team. Third quarter will be critical.

Shelly Scott is a star.

Magee should know the rule. Lucky not to concede the junk time goal as a result.

Tis windy

ah. very true. changes the equation somewhat.

the new man on the make rule makes all the difference. He'll swing around and split the big sticks. I hope he gets a set shot tomorrow. See which of us is right.

Charlie Spargo would slot it.

They've proven over the last few weeks and in last year's semi-final v GWS that they have big hearts and plenty of fight. If we lose today it'll be because Freo were the better team on the day not because of any lack of effort or intent on our part. Dees by 10 points.

A decent game this between the Crows and the Suns. Both teams have improved a lot. Adelaide will be tough to beat when we play them over there.

It's party time again for the key forwards. Ben Brown will kick bags of goals for us

announced tomorrow evening

Emonson got the nod to replace Daisy. I reckon it's the right call. McEvoy didn't impress me this year when she played.

There's a long hard road ahead for North. We've been through ourselves so i feel for them.

Agree Tigers and Port will be tough to beat. doggies as well. west coast in perth But i reckon we can win enough games to be Top 4.

There is one thing better than that! beating them by one point....after the siren

Brisbane’s season was on the line, 4 goals down and playing poorly. I thought they were gone. Huge win for them The positive for mine from watching these opening rounds and looking at the Lions, Pies, Geelong, Carlton etc. is that they are all beatable. The Dees have nothing to fear from any of them. We maintain our form and add in BB, maybe Weid and start kicking straight then no reason why a Top 4 spot isn’t right there for the taking.

Got some weed?

The principle of caveat emptor has been around for a long time. Always do your DD no matter who you are dealing with. As a supporter all i care about is: · how much is the deal worth · have they the capacity to pay

This is the first time in a long time that we have genuine competition for places. Nobody can rest on their laurels. No one will be gifted games ala Melks last year. You don’t want to be dropped from this team at the moment because it won’t be easy to get back in. If you’re in the 2’s you know you have to work hard, be professional and be ready to take your chance if it presents itself. Nothing like competitive tension to keep everybody hungry and on their toes. Great position to be in and bodes well for the rest of the season.

The comparisons to Cyril Rioli have been made before but against the saints was the first time it was really evident to me. Took his goals brilliantly, great pressure, zip and spark. The air crackles when he gets the ball. He's a game changer. Such a buzz to see him running around in the red and blue.

Paxman is a dead set legend. Full stop. This comp has been going for 5 years and this is here 5th AA selection. Remarkable consistency. She should be on our banner @Demonland
