Chook

Jackson's ruckwork and spread is absolutely mental.

There he is. There's my man Brown. Jackson's audition is going nicely… what a stupid comment from Kellie.

Brown playing poorly so far. I was hoping he'd be able to get on the end of a bunch of easy ones and kick a bag.

Currently on track for 208-12 victory. 196...

Kellie talking about Naitanui's running patterns. What running patterns? Bloke looks like a house and a lazy house at that.

I'd send McDonald to tag McGovern as a defensive forward.

Christian. Goes. Bang!!!

S'pose he shouldn't have kicked that goal either?

About as many times as he has got them right.

Sack everyone. Microwave your membership. Melt the cup for scrap. West Coast have scored the first goal.

The Kayo stream is live now. Clarry's immortal finger to the sky was the first frame I saw when I flipped to it. I consider that our first win of the day.

I reckon the guy who programs the guide is out with knee soreness. Has he ever been seen in the same room as Josh Kennedy?

I think Andy/Demonland views the world as being balanced on the eye of a needle perched in the bowl of a giant Premiership cup, with the all-seeing eye of Norm Smith doling out judgment on all things football (and perhaps beyond). So, in short, it all comes back to what Norm thinks. Him being the Higher Power and all that.

lol just flipped over to the Blues game and see scores are level. I thought I saw them up 20-0. When are they going to sort out their fast-start-then-stop-for-the-rest-of-the-game approach?

Best win in GCS history IMO.

The thing about this Suns rebuild that they've finally gotten right is the people they've brought from other clubs. Players like Chole and Casboult aren't superstars but they're honest players who set standards and have A-grade qualities in certain areas. Players like Gary Ablett were never what this side needed.

Even last year when Melbourne dropped some games against lower sides, we were in the game right till the end. The fact that Freo haven't been competitive since halfway through the 2nd would be worrying for them. Based on this showing, Fremantle isn't where we were last year, let alone where we are this year.

David King is such a frustrating commentator/analyst. He takes a bob each way every single time. How can you suggest putting David Mundy into the forward line while at the same time saying "there's heaps of time left, just hold your heads"?

Freo facing their first real threat in the Suns up there. The Melbourne boys were all pretty bullish on Gold Coast after playing them. I trust their football judgment, and Fremantle play a lot like Melbourne. Even though the Suns have had some bad losses this year I reckon the fact the Suns play honest football these days means other teams can cut them up but teams that play properly like Melbourne and Fremantle will struggle a little more to get over the top of them.

Great to hear it's all settled. Can't wait for finals next week!

Gotta give Tom Hawkins credit - he's trying absolutely everything to get the Cats this win. Too bad for him he'll fail (mwahahahaha!!!)

This is terrible I know, but every time Tom Hawkins is in a marking contest, I silently hope for an injury.

Kicked 7 goals that quarter. In the corresponding quarter last week agains Melbourne, they also tried to make their move and wound up scoring 2 goals to 1. Pretty solid effort from the boys in that context.

The saints can flick a switch at Marvel that's for sure.
