About 29% more than I would have expected. So much negativity for no reason whatsoever.

Very confident GWS will get it done tonight. Have won 5 and drawn 1 of their last 7 v the Saints.

Dogs fly up Saturday. If only we were allowed to do that.

There was, but they are probably his mates. Sydney and Freo got to train at Cazaly's and no travel on the day of the game. Of course they would be happy about the arrangements.

The whinging claim was based purely on Goody's comment that he would have liked to be able to travel up the day before the game, and being forced to train in between games at another oval, not Cazaly's. The clown who wrote it suggested the club could phone Flash and ask him what the conditions were like. What a moron.

Also liked how he jumped for his marks on Saturday. Took them on the chest but at the height he would normally mark in his hands. Would be harder to spoil.

GWS will thump St Kilda.

Umpires sure followed Gil's and Eddie's orders in the last quarter.

Minshew is the man!!!! Was not expecting to win today. 1-15 is thw worst outcome now.

Hawks have offered him a 2 year deal, which they normally don't do for over 30s.

Stevic is the ump paying the ridiculous frees to the Giants. Him of #freekickhawthorn fame.

Umpires really lifting for the Giants.

Do we really want to be like Essendon? Their deluded fans have an obsession with 'Essendon people' being in positions of authority. Hird really worked out well didn't it?

Great win by the Eagles. Saints in some bother now.

Nope - HQ has already given them the OK to fly up the day before. What a surprise.

In a normal year it can't really be done (other than Richmond having 7 in a row at the G to finish the season), but this year has been a massive free hit for the AFL to favour some teams over others and haven't they taken advantage of it!!

Dogs have had 2 runs of 4 straight games at Metricon, and they had 3 in a row at Marvel to start the season. How nice would that have been?

I aaw that too, on the St Kilda nuffy's page on Facebook.

Just read the AFL are letting the Bulldogs fly to Cairns the day before they play Freo in Round 18. What a joke. We were not allowed to, and the article says the club were furious at being forced to travel on game day. Dogs also fly to Adelaide the day before this weekend too. Anyone think the whole thing is not rigged?

The players are human, and constantly moving would have a significant effect. I never sleep properly the first night anywhere away from home, and unlike other clubs, the team have pretty much not stayed in the same location for more than a week at a time. Players in other sports such as NBA or cricket are used to it, but AFL players are not. Experienced ones like Dangerfield will deal with it better, and also clubs with a lot of experienced players (Geelong, Port, Richmond).

Does not apply to other teams, only us. ?

Exactly. We have played at 9 different grounds this year, and no more than 2 at any of those grounds. What a joke. Crows, Port and West Coast have only played at 3 grounds the whole season.

Eagles, Seahawks, Chargers
