He is well ahead of his brother, probably for 2 years now. He is great to watch. 12 tackles with his 39 touches!

No change unless Tmac doesn't get up. The sceptic in me reckons this is planned so he can have a rest next week and stay home for the week with his family which I'm OK with. Happy for Weed to have a run if so.

Loved the tackling ferocity til the end. A fair bit of Hollywood footy but who could blame them trying to get themselves back in form. There were another 10 goals for the taking but overall some very good signs today. The pressure applied was first class

Enroute to Perth right now, turned around midair

Holy heck, SEN reported we were turned around midair and en route to PER right now, need to land somewhere to refuel! WOW

Assume ESS v Swans at Gabba will be affected too, game tonight.

What if some of the GC players live in hotspots though?

Both huge questions, I doubt WA will let us in now whether we play today or not

Are you sure these figures are correct? Pretty sure it was 4-14 at half time not qtr time. I’m not disagreeing re the umpiring it was appalling, but I’m not sure those numbers are right.

There was very little between these 2 teams tonight other than our continued lousy shots at goal and them making the most of their opportunities in front of goal. Oh and some horrendous and inexplicable umpiring. Top 4 however is now very shaky.

If the rumours of him and Ellyse Perry are true I’m heading down to the barbers shortly.

Expect a few guns to be managed for this one and be fresh for The Doggies. Might be a great time for a farewell game for Nev.

I unintentionally call him Tom every time he gets the pill. Well done lads, awesome game!

Possibly the worst decision of the year..... And it's a long list of disgraceful decisions. Ump was 5 metres away with a clear view

Real happy with his first hit up. Copped a seriously big hit with his first contest from Clurey and dusted himself off pretty quickly considering the hit. Got nudged under a few a little too easy but brings the ball to ground so well, no doubt at all he improves the team. I’d love to get to the stage where he n Weid can play in the same team but I doubt it’ll be this year. He’s a much better option currently. He’ll get better too.

I know it’s a tough ask tonight but I’m blown away several are leaving Clarry out of votes. 21 of his 31 possessions were contested, 77% efficiency, 6 score involvements, 11 clearances. He was huge tonight.

It wasn’t exactly memorable Clint!

And North in Tassie!!

The other good thing is Fritsch and even TMac have a little less focus on them from the opposition and become more dangerous IMO.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Viney was managed this week. He looked way off the pace theses 2 matches and off 5 days break could be more of a liability Thursday night than he was the past 2. A fit Viney is critical for finals. With his injury history I would not risk him off 5 day break.

“ Ego is not a dirty word.... don’t you believe what you’ve seen or you’ve heard “

Yeah it's a little odd I'm not sure what is the purpose but it's almost every opening bounce of a quarter. Can't remember him having any impact in there once.

Some good points in there Rab. Just on 2 of these lads, Hunt to me looked like he was playing to instructions and trying to find a leading forward and not to have a crack at goal. He had 2 clear shots on goal that while difficult, we're gettable. If he nails those 2 shots he could be a hero thIs morning but I believe he was playing to instructions. Petty got crunched on the southern stand wing a few minutes before 3/4 time. He was down on his haunches for close to a minute and I thought he'd come straight off and be subbed out. He went completely downhill after this and made some crucial errors but I looked around at start of last qtr and was gobsmacked he was still playing. He was clearly playing hurt and it showed in his movements that last qtr.
