Did you seem him play the 4th quarter in the middle? People seem to have missed it. He wasn't doing a lot elsewhere and I thought it was good of Roos to try something with him. Did a great tackle to earn a free in the fwd half but played on and we turned it over. To my mind he is rushing things and hasn't quite got used to the pace. He's too good for Casey.

You are simply wrong on this. Take out the 4 minute start of the 3rd quarter and we win the game. Both teams were fumbly all day such was the pressure being applied. Generally they had more composure than us when it mattered but we played a pretty good game.

It shouldn't be beyond you. Garland has had it. He has turned into a shell of his former self.

You have contradicted yourself beautifully

Bizarre call

I heard the ump say that Bernie ran through the mark and that was not allowed.. Never knew that I have to say. Pretty sure its not even a rule.

That's pathetic quoting thiose stats. It means nothing. NJones operates under much more pressure. 9 tackles, 1 goal 1 pt and 33 hard fought posessions. Hardly an easy one all day. He is a star.

Petracca was in the centre bounces all the last quarter..... Just sayin....

Kennedy's fantastic spoil today where he crunched the Crows player (not sure who) was amazing. Right in front of me and he smashed him. I wish we had players that would do that more often. Opposition players should know that when the stand under a ball they will get crunched by one of our players. Ben Ken will get selected next week just for that I reckon. I still anoys me that we had a chance to crunch Justin Blumfield early in the 2000 Grand Final. It would have set the tone for the day but instead we squibbed it. I'll let it go one day......

Pedo has only played 58 games. There is every chance he will get better..

Petracca spent the last quarter in the midfield. I think that's the first time he has done that...he hadn't done much else for the game (altho laid a great tackle) and Roos was trying something different..

You sound surprised? The top 8 barely changes after about round 9 every year. It's why early season momentum and a favourable draw are incredibly important.

If Kent plays well we win IMO. He has been our barometer. He plays poorly in nearly every one of our losses. NOt sure if that is cause and effect but he needs to address it as a player.

SO what. Its supposed to be about rewarding performance. Carlton got 6 night games last year. Collingwood has won 5 out of 20 games. The EFC are pernnial losers and yet all get nightgames. Its all bulldust.

Unhappy with Trengove being dropped. Has hardly had a chance to show his stuff. Was far from the worst against Sydney.

Grimes is a great servant of our club. He has played very good football at Casey, hasn't complained or spat the dummy. He has earned his game. I hope he plays well and keeps his spot.

Yes. In answer to the Title.

Are you running for cover because you invented a new word? Sentimists?

We often get teams that only get to play at the MCG once or twice a year. They gee themselves up for it which is one of the reasons why have been beaten by interstate teams at the G in the past.

So was Tommy Hafey but we beat the Toiges

It was all about price for key fwds. Boyd and Buddy signing big deals spooked the Saints.

EFC have had I think 3 friday night games and 1 Sat night game. The average winning margin for Friday night games this year must be close to 50pts. Great viewing. The argument about must perform to get the slots is nonsense and has always been nonsense. Amazing that some her believe otherwise.

I hope they keep us this scrutiny of him in Perth. It will ensure that he doesn't want to go and live in a Perth fishbowl until his career is over....
