Chook

He actually looks a little out of shape to me.

Ridiculous crumb from Bedford.

Must be!

I've seen him get and give a few times. Clearly playing within a specific inside role.

A couple of great efforts in a row from Rivers to intercept in defence.

Quality effort to bench press Sam Frost, who is ridiculously strong.

lol McDonald stealing that goal from Harmes.

Quality recovery despite playing shizenhousen by our standards. Fritta involved in basically every goal we've scored since half time last week. The bloke knows how to put sausage rolls on the scoreboard, whether directly or through goal assists.

The old "made him earn it" head whack on Max Gawn has to stop.

Bowey you legend. He won't be giving up this undefeated record without a fight.

Freo on top of the ladder. That said, I will never agree with the idea that a team can be ahead on the ladder if another team with equal points has a game in hand.

Pretty iconic right?

AFL Umpires + Dodgy "insufficient intent" calls against Brayshaws at the cattery. Name a more iconic pair.

Here comes Freo!

I think you'll find the trick is to delete older content you've uploaded to the site. Go to your profile and delete anything you don't have an emotional attachment too (hard I know given this is a footy fansite). This should be a help: https://demonland.com/attachments/

That was with Hunt out injured. Hunt isn't injured any longer, and the FD has him ahead of Smith for the small lockdown defender role, so with Lever back in that leaves Smith with nowhere to play except for Casey.

Wash your mouth out. Surely he works like a demon!!!

Strange opinion.

Joel Smith isn't a first gamer, and we're not an up-and-comer team. The standards are higher now all-around.

That based on little more than ladder positions - i.e., the combined fixtures the other teams have had thus far this year. If our fixture has been soft, how many of the other top eight teams have had soft fixtures too. The law of averages suggests around half of them.

One day a team will play a perfect season.

Applies to them too!

Isn't Obi-Wan being sarcastic when he says that? I guess this gif works if you're Eagles and Kangas fans preparing to play Melbourne.

Nick Riewoldt (who of course has gone through just this) seemed to think self-preservation kicks in at a certain point - like "I don't want to be hurt like that again" so you don't work quite as hard, commit quite as much, and so on.

It's early but I'm starting to picture a Dees v Saints, Lions v Freo week 1 of qualifying finals.
