Thought Atlanta were going to pinch it today. Luckily LeBron came up big in OT. One win away from the finals but really struggling with injury but so are the Hawks. Hopefully if the boys get through the NBA does not move the Finals forward as Kyrie etc will need the extra time to get right.

Did you lay-off on Richmond, or better still cash out with one leg to go?

Dante Fowler already gone for the 2015 season with an ACL. Had not signed his rookie contract when it happened but the Jags showed faith and signed him to the max, which is around $23 million over 4 years fully guaranteed.

Well Golden State/Houston starts tomorrow. I give the Rockets a really good chance of getting past the Warriors - not totally convinced about the Warriors to get it done when it really counts. Hopefully my Cavs can get past Atlanta. Not particularly confident but winning 1 or more of the first 2 in Atlanta will be the key.

Sydney and Geelong is a fantastic game. Both teams going really hard - great to watch.

This is looking very much like 2013 v Essendon. They are already taking the [censored] and lairising. Just embarrassing.

David Spud Hale doing what he always does against us. FMD.

Blackhawks/Ducks should be epic - go Hawks!! Think Rangers might get past the Lightning with some comfort but I thought the same against the Caps and we got 7 one goal games.

Wouldn't say so. Think Houston if they get past the Clippers could beat the Warriors. Cavs are a fairly battered lot at the moment but LBJ won't die wondering. Very happy my boys got past the Bulls today.

So it's the annual make David Hale look like Tony Lockett day tomorrow? Watch the spud kick 5 by half time.

CAS have named the 34 players. There's a thread on Big Footy with the names in it. Vitamins McVeigh - what a surprise.

Sounds like the NRL, where the same teams (Souths, Melbourne, Brisbane, North Queensland and a few others) get kissed on the dick by the referees every week and the Parramattas and Cronullas get kicked in the head every week. For 10 years I have had the belief that the NRL decide the top 8 before the season and the referees make it happen. Some of the decisions are basically cheating, and often you will see a fair try sent upstairs to the video ref in the hope it can be overturned.

The Pies recruiting has been outstanding, and their trading is generally pretty good too - they have done very well out of the Beams trade. Crisp looks a competent player and De Goey will be very good. Jason Taylor will hopefully be able to get similar results for us after working with Derek Hine. There are positive signs already.

30.5 on Tattsbet.

Not sure about Jesse but Ella definitely is.

We were good today. Brayshaw should not have been the sub, but I don't have an opinion on who should have been. The most disappointing thing for me was the many times we were out and did not use the numerical advantage. Too many times players ran forward of the play instead of shepherding for teammates to get them past the Crows players.

The pro-Bummer fapping in the media and especially on TV is unbearable and frankly embarrassing by those doing it. Even worse is Tim Watson commentates their games, and today none of the others in the box would say anything less than fawning about the Bummer players.

Geelong are rubbish. Enright looks like he has already retired and Bartel isn't much better. Even Selwood is having a poor game.

Besides North getting PUMPED, the non-MFC highlight for me was Hird getting booed by the Swans fans when he went down to the bench in the last 5 minutes of the game. I hope this happens every week.

Telegraph Hotel - $10 steins and burgers, if you like a younger crowd that does get a bit loose.

What a moron trying to argue something he says was not used isn't banned. Obviously it was used and this is the defence.

The same Warwick Hadfield who from time to time has said the players were injected with Thymomodulin. Sure Warwick - obviously believes what his mates Martin Hardie and Bruce Francis tell him. Is also mates with Hird so the lint reference is spot on. This Tuesday should be very interesting if there is a Bummers player on with Robbo. Be either giving each other a reacharound or crying.

It was nominated rookies today. Rookie listed players can be upgraded at any time for long term injuries. I'm pretty sure Aaron will be upgraded next and play on Saturday.

Should there be a MFCSS thread where all the whinging etc get kept to only one thread, and any posts that should be in there are moved from other threads to keep things constructive? It would save the first page of the board being filled up with 'why do we suck/who is to blame' etc of which there is always plenty.

There was a post on BigFooty where the poster understands a Winston Wolf type was called into EFC between Demetriou tipping off David Evans and EFC 'self-reporting'. No doubt the records of what was taken disappeared in this period. EFC know what was taken - it is an inconvenient truth for them and by 'losing' the records were hoping it would make it impossible for ASADA to prove it. Unluckily for the Bummers it will (hopefully) be proven that TB4 was used through the chain of custody from China to EFC, and that no other form of thymosin was used at EFC. They really do think their [censored] doesn't stink at Tullamarine - I'm not sure why they see their club as so special. They are not even in the biggest 3 clubs in Victoria, but do have a lot of supporters and former players in the media pushing their barrow. Amusingly they also have Bruce Francis.
