Who do you “like” DV8?

Where did you get this stat from ProDee?

Replace Kent and JKH with Hannan and Viney. Its a pretty strong side.

Even slightly underdone Viney has something that very few have in the AFL. Presence and a Fear Factor he is a huge addition to the side.

Will the teams be released tonight or tomorrow?

There are a lot worse getting around. At least he does his research and knows his topics.

Prepare my next rant for Ticketek.

Cheers. Enjoy the evening ?

Hey Drunkn who was number 67 and why was he singled out for Gatorade in the song?

Is the wind favoring our goals or across the ground?

His opinions are almost completely irrelevant. He isn’t far off being shipped to the asylum.

Who would you say are the tough players from Geelong? Selwood (x2), Touhy? Who from the Demons would you say are tough? I’m not going to list them but I reckon we’d have them well covered.

Clarry - he’s a different level of special.

Geelong have had 3 soft wins at home in the last 5 weeks; Lions, Freo and GCS. They’ve lost to contenders Richmond and Hawthorn at the MCG. We’ve had 1 soft win against GCS and 3 great wins against strong sides, two being contenders, 2 being interstate. I know which form I’d prefer to go in with. Also, the last 3 times we’ve played Geelong we’ve had more scoring shots. Twice they’ve beaten us by kicking a ridiculously accurate 20 goals 6 and 16 goals 4. Statistics would suggest that they shouldn’t be able to rely on that sort of accuracy. Their Goalkicking Accuracy for the year is 49%. So based on that they had arsey games and should have kicked (statistically) 13 goals 13 (would have lost) and 10 goals 10 (another loss).

Sad to report that the 21st Century is no longer. The revolving dancefloor has turned it's last turn.

Alex Silvagni has been at Carlton for the last couple of years not Fremantle. Retirement correct club incorrect

The footy classified one was pretty good too.

I had a few tears and a lump in the throat.

Glad I'm not the only one. Agree with all the points and I think point c) is very important.

A question 000. Do the players do any goal kicking practice running into goal and having a shot from 55m to 45m out? It frustrates the hell out of me that we have players that are good kicks for goal trying to pin-pass a low bullet to a leading player, when they could potentially run an extra 5 meters and have a shot. I can only really think of a few occasions this year where we’ve had shots on the run from about 50m. Lewis (x2) v Crows, Salem maybe another couple. It seems to me that the odds of stuffing up the pass & mark & shot for goal would be higher than having a single shot on the run. It may be a distinct tactic that the players are being instructed not to do but Jesus it annoys me.

Excellent changes. If you thought Bernie was safe after last game take a good hard look at yourself. He was horrible. Flexibility in height and speed. Go Dees.

Personally, I reckon the Dees by 40+ are the better odds...

I know the AFL player rankings are a strange beast and IMO seem to be about 6 months behind actual form, but I thought I’d have a look at the Demon players to see where they sit. What I found was pretty interesting (I thought). The Demons have 7 players in the top 100 (Oliver, Gawn, TMac, Jones, Petracca, Melksham, Lewis) and amazingly 17 in the top 200 (Lever, Harmes, ANB, Jetta, Viney, Salem, Hibberd, Hunt, Garlett, Tyson). Hogan (202) and Brayshaw (226) on current form are arguably low and OMac (225) isn't too far behind. I compared this with the other top 10 teams to see where we sit, see below the list: Richmond – 7 in top 100, 10 in top 200. Butler (201), Ellis (212), Rioli (217) and Short (220) just outside WCE – 5 in top 100, 11 in top 200. Cripps (235) GWS – 7 in top 100, 13 in top 200. Taranto (209), Haynes (210) just outside. Demons - 7 in top 100, 17 in top 200. Hogan (202), OMac (225) and Brayshaw (226) the next best. Hawks – 6 in top 100, 10 in top 200. Henderson (221), Impey (224), Burton (233) next 3. Pies – 8 in top 100, 10 in top 200. Thomas (206), Maynard (207) just outside. Port – 8 in top 100, 13 in top 200. Powell-Pepper (203), Watts (215) just outside. Swans – 4 in top 100, 10 in top 200. McVeigh (205), Rampe (213), Mills (219), Rohan (229) Cats – 6 in top 100, 12 in top 200. Stewart (230) North – 5 in top 100, 8 in top 200. Tarrant (204), McDonald (211), Macmillan (216) As you can see 17 players in the top 200 is a considerable achievement. GWS and Port the next best with 13. I was surprised to see Harmes (130), ANB (134) so high. Going into this weeks game: We are missing Melksham (91), Lever (108), Viney (164) and Hibberd (178) so we have 6 in the top 100, 14 in the top 200 (if Hunt plays). The Swans on the other hand have 4 in the top 100 and 9 in the top 200 (Zac Jones missing). As an aside, Bayley Fristch has the 2nd highest ranking of a first year player behind Tim Kelly. If we can get Melksham, Viney and Hibberd back for the finals we'll be well placed to make a charge. We have the cattle. Hells Bells

The punting majority don’t suffer from MFCSS. We are a better team than Sydney and are in better form.
