It's actually enjoyable going tot he footy now and seeing this exciting team play. Have no idea what to expect tonight. I think we should win but I hate seeing Franklin & Rampe back and our ins aren't giving me much confidence. I expect May to take Buddy. Hickey has been in good form to Gawn will have his work cut out and the midfield should be a good battle. Heeny out helps. If we lose at least we will still be top 2 but win and we can go even more clear of the team below us.

Today apart from a Melbourne win would be for gws to knock off the bummers and boy would I love nth to bump off the pies. Imagine the reaction if that happened.

on leave

Honestly I wouldn't bother bringing Franklin. Keep him fresh for the week after when they play Collingwood at home

Tom Browne reporting Sydney tested & negative. Expected to fly to Melbourne this Arvo. So the Sydney supporters coming down surely they are made to have a test

Why do we get caught up in this. Essendon last year and now Sydney.

When I was in a spot where someone tested positive back in feb I wasn't allowed to return to work until 14 days. I had to self isolate and get a test on day 1 and day 11. This is just another curve ball thrown

How nice is it that players are now staying instead of heading elsewhere. Look 7 years is risky and over the next few years I do not want to hear it being bought up like Grundy is copping now. Hopefully we have some success. But credit to Christian the last 2 years he has finally worked out what he has to do to become that elite player. Now clubs can back off and sucked in, he is a demon for life.

Gee imagine what he would have got if he had actually concussed him. It was a dumb thing to do but he didn't intend to get him that high. Unfortunately the head being such a massive issue lately, things are graded harder. Bugger.

waiting waiting.....

Bugger. I guess we all suspected it but it still disappoints you when it's confirmed. Poor Adam, I hope the boys get around him and lift his spirits. He knows this team is onto a good thing and npw he won't be a part of it. Look forward to having him back next year.

God I hope they don't brink back franklin. I think they should save him the travel and keep him on ice until the week after when they play collingwood at home.

What a weekend. Pies lose, we are on top and the bummers lost. Oh and the cats got beaten and robbed by a umpire decision.

Well at 1/2 time if I was told we'd win by 5 goals I certainly would have taken it. Boy it was ugly but credit to everyone to get themselves back into it. I thought James Jordan was really good today and Jackson took another step. Well done on Fritta for his straight kicking and Ben Brown will be better for the game. We are on top and hopefully the players realise no team can be taken lightly. We move onto next week.

So can Tom play back and we just bring in weiderman to play forward? I'd have a bit more faith having McDonald down back than Petty.

Yeah we never saw a replay of what happened. The fact there was no concussion helps. Fine at best I hope

What's the worry. We've got this. Top of the ladder. It just took awhile to get there

Brayshaw gone down into the rooms to find his brain

Oh track should have kicked that

Melksham getting into it this quarter

Fritta! Come on dees

Christ finally got in front. Now let's stay there.

Brayshaw get off. This is a team that got beaten by over 100 points by the saints. I can hear the media now. Melbourne got to arrogant, bought in brown, tinkered with there lineup. Thought it was just going to happen

Where the hell is brayshaws head at today?

Hey Nathan Buckley, don't stress we will take the focus off you this week. Attitude is horrendous & Tommy mc do something. Need to get the midfield right.
