Or in the case of Fitsch there were 2 clear marks that weren't paid

Pretty sure he won't replace a fit Melksham who was pretty effective against the pies and stopped Maynard for a large part of the game I think. Maynard is a key rebounder for the pies and had a poor game.

Lewis was a Swans player that tried to alert the AFL and wider community to the big drug culture amongst some in the AFL. From memory it was around the time of the 2000 season. He was ostracised by the AFL who promptly swept it under the carpet, ensured Lewis never worked in the AFL industry again and of course it led to the infamously tainted premiership of West Coast amongst others

He's a street and a cut above Rohan Connolly

AFL and Freedom of Speech don't exist Ask Dale Lewis

That was the rule of the week 3 yrs ago Ridiculous that you refer to it now. You know the focus only lasts a week and marquee players from big clubs are immune regardless

Keep it in mind he did it against Philips I think who has been an outstanding wingman for a few years.

I think Hunt might get a gig as well for his speed coming out of the fwd line.. I get playing with a stable line up but squads are required to get through a season and when we have a bunch of players who haven't played for a while you run the risk of getting injuries late and not having replacements that can step in.

That's as big a disparity as we have seen I suspect

There is something about players playing against their old clubs that I like Hannan comes in after being ill Tough one to pick one to drop...Maybe Kozzie, he was poor in the wet against the Pies but he did get to the right spots....

Yep it was unusual.

Goats are like mushrooms because if you shoot a goat I'm scared of toasters

Not sure of his contract status but If I was him I'd be wanting out. he would have some currency

I'm gonna say this now. Bontempelli needs to be tagged,.

Or is it the other way around?

Just reflecting on the fact that Collingwood had 5 big Ins this week: Pendlebury, Reid, Elliott, WHE and Moore And we smacked them out of the park That's all.

I thought that was really weird. I woudn't expect pruess to be there next year. He deserves a shot a senior ruck and he won't get it at Melbourne.

Dogs Ess Freo Giants Sydney and Saints We can win every one of those games. Not saying we will but its not that daunting. And we only play 1 team that will have had more break than us. Momentum is huge in footy as are injuries. We now have some belief and we have few of the other (not to curse it!) Ground advantage is minimal. So long as we keep believing in each other and keep cracking in we are a chance. I am trying to think of the year when Port was almost unbeatable in the final quarters. We're a bit like that. We have a lot of belief thanks to Burgo. Someone has to win this year. Why not us? And whoever wins will well and truly deserve it - as weird a season as it has been.

i get his frustration There were I think 4incidents if below the knees The sidebottom one where we got the free. The Viney one where got the free, The Fritsch one at the top of the square in the last that wasn't paid. And another that I cant exactly recall where a free wasn't paid to us The rule was brought in for that 'front on contact' sliding like Lyndsay Thomas and Goodes used to do. That is the one that has potential to break the legs of an opponent Diving on the ball when the ball is on dispute was never intended to be part of that but it has somehow crept in through mis-interpretation.

Lever's wild panic 'clearance' HB that gifted a goal... Harmes switch kick that was cut off by Varcoe who fortunately hit the post. Will HE chest marking a high ball in the goal square by himself.. There's plenty but we more than made up for them in other areas. a great overall game

How so?

We have the team that can beat anyone. We're very fit. Our last quarters are confidence building. Very few injuries Favourable draw Were actually playing like a team Lots to like

Its why OMac is not in our best 22

16 goals pt 1 over yr last 3 final qtrs

Good lad sparrow And that burgess goes alright
