Yes I heard that too. On “The Couch” they mentioned we have the hardest draw from round 11 onwards and Essendon have the easiest.

Freo are not rubbish. They won 15 games last year and are heading towards a 13-14 win season this year. There is a massive misconception around here that Fremantle are a horse manure side. They’re actually pretty damn good.

Collingwood will either smash Norf by 176 points or come back from a 50 point three quarter time deficit to win. Thats the way Collingwood roll these days.

Freo are playing finals this year. They had a 15 win season last year and were 20 points away from playing Sydney in a prelim. Now they’re on a 4 game winning streak. I don’t get the under rating of Fremantle.

Don’t know why a Melbourne supporter would applaud a bloke that “phoned in sick” for the 2022 finals series (average of 8 possessions and 1 mark). Totally offset his reasonable third quarter in the GF. There’s no pressing need to boo him, but why applaud the bloke?

That game reminded me a fair bit of the GWS game in 2021 that we lost at the G. Overcast day, indigenous jumper, expected to win, conceded a 3 goal lead in the 3rd qtr, kept coming back but they always had the answers. Only difference is Freo were extremely accurate and that’s what won them the game. I think Goodwin hinted that we won the game on expected scores.

Today’s absolute breakeven if GC beat Dogs, which they should. Every other result imaginable has gone our way today and we end where we started. I think top 2 is beyond us but top 4 is seriously up for grabs this year.

Any danger the Suns can step up and finally win a clutch game in their under achieving footy life?

Now all we need is for GC to beat the Dogs and todays loss bears absolutely no consequence in terms of our top 4 chances.

Great effort there Layzie. Turns out the coffee wasn’t needed.

St Kilda and potentially Geelong really does ease the pain.

Therein lies the problem. Other good clubs can win a game with a couple of their best 22 out. Collingwood won a game with 6 of their best 22 out. Freo won despite Darcy going off mid game.

Fair call on Spargo. Blew countless opportunities today but he’s one of Goody’s 2021 favs.

Aside from Fritsch and the odd cameo from Kozzie it’s a complete shambles. Compare that to Brisbane who can get a 4 goal performance on any given night from any of Daniher, Hipwood, Gunston, Cameron, Rayner, McCarthy or Bailey.

The Chandler and McVee experiments are probably over.

Close the stupid thread. They were a 15 win season last year that were 20 points off a prelim. As if they were ever going to finish in the bottom 6 this year. And credit to Luke Jackson for defeating the much ‘vaunted’ Gawn/Grundy on his own.

We were so accurate in the first 7 weeks of the season. Law of averages suggested It was always going to come back the other way and for the first time this year it cost us a game of footy.

And most of us didn’t even get to see it.

I’d suggest our ceiling is 5th/6th, a home MCG final, and a semi final exit. Collingwood would’ve found a way to win the last two weeks if in our position.

Hawks are at least going to win.

They guy needs to stop his stupid after goal celebrations. Like last week the games gone down the toilet after his celebration

Darcy’s gone for the game which is good.

I know St Kilda will win, but hoping the Hawks pull off an upset. Not sure I like the idea of St Kilda replacing us in the top 4 if we don’t get the job done.

Only because the Collingwood and Geelong games come before the Brisbane game. If we lose both of them, what kind of realistic chance would we be of beating Brisbane? But yes, at the moment Brisbane would be more of scalp than Geelong. I still have faith in Geelong making top 4 and have them going 16-7 as they start getting all their players back.

As much as I’d love a win today, and it’s a crucial game, it still won’t prove conclusively if we’re a contender. We have to beat one of Collingwood or Geelong IMO. Lose both and we’re just making up the numbers.
