I truly don’t understand what drives people to engage in footy when this is their outlook.

Schofield on Fox is so anti-Fremantle it’s almost comical. Pavlich on the other hand, who you could expect/forgive a pro-Freo bias, is measured and sensible in his comments.

I think the opposite. I think it hurts the game when plays like NWM leave. St Kilda haven’t had a genuine star player that they could build a team around since Nick Riewoldt. I’d definitely prefer he stayed than give an Adelaide club a free kick like they’ve had with JHF, Rankine etc.

I don’t agree that we have nothing to play for. Dog and Hawks are both hanging on for dear life and potentially competing for the last spot in the 8. Feathers are available for ruffling. From a supporter point of view that adds a huge amount of intrigue. I’d love to finish the year in good form.

Consecutive weeks of opportunity to ruin the season of a team with finals aspirations. If we beat the Dogs next week, they’re pretty much stuffed. It’s possible Hawthorn could be in the same boat the following week. I would love absolutely nothing more than to be the team that knocks Hawthorn out of the 8. I have high hopes but low expectations. Just play consistent competitive footy. Please.

Gosh I’m glad I don’t go for West Coast. Essendon with a team of ring-ins in 2016 were better than this.

Could only ask for a 4 quarter effort and got it. Thought at half time, given the still raw humiliation from last week and the potential for more this week that nothing would really make me happy in this game, but in the end I am. Langford is confirmed as an absolute gun. Can’t wait to see him spend more time in the guts in the coming years. Nice to see Fritta finally getting back to his best. Hard to know how we couldn’t find a spot for Culley all season. Very impressive aerial game. Our last games are all against teams with finals aspirations, two of which are far from locked in. My hope for the rest of the season is that we impact the makeup of the finals. Causing Hawthorn to miss would be the best of the best.

Think I might just be a Crows fan for finals 2025.

Well. That was the most unpleasant feeling I’ve had for quite some time. Please just put us out of our misery now.

How could you not? Crows are top of my list for who to get behind in finals because they have ANB.

Be that as it may, I highly doubt he’d be paying tribute to his brother if he didn’t happen to have a gash on his head that bleeds profusely. Anyway, I’m not meaning to be a killjoy. It’s a nice nod to his brother and it did stir up memories for me too.

I did remember thinking last week as I saw the blood pouring down his face, that it was ironic that a helmet would have prevented that injury.

My take is that Andy has a massive gash on his head from last week that isn’t finished healing yet, and he wants to keep his blood inside his body this week.

If Xerri’s argument was that he meant to hit Sparrow but not in the head, how is it not reckless at the very least and therefore worthy of an upgrade to 4 weeks? Anyway, whatever. At least they didn’t come up with some excuse that got him out of it. Enjoy the holiday big guy.

Spargo for Sparrow seems obvious to me. I see Lever and TMac competing for the same spot. Is Petty an automatic selection when available? He’s probably a better player than van Rooyen and Jefferson, but I want to see the latter pair get a run together. What I’d do: In: May, Spargo Out: Lever, Sparrow What I think will happen: In: May, Spargo, Petty Out: McDonald, Sparrow, Jefferson
