See Tom Lynch just did his subtle dig the knee into the neck there.

Sadly I think tonight will be on sided. If Ryder was in for the saints I'd give them a chance but I think the tigs will be to experienced for them. In saying that I hope the saints can win. I hope the cats win tomorrow night, only based on the fact I do not collingwood getting to a prelim giving them a chance to get to the gf.

Look I'm glad that there is another club out there that has players wanting to leave. It's also better it's a big club and there new coach hasn't officially started yet on his own and he has players wanting out. Essendon isn't a destination club like it used to be. I'm laughing at the supporters just venting how angry they are, hearing Mattty Lloyd talk about how it's sad what happening. In a way I hope Merrett goes to at some stage then that will really hurt them. Look they are going to get some early draft picks and get some young talent in but essendon fans aren't patient and they want success. We can only hope it's a mile away.

Good luck trying to do a deal with Essendon

Ha I didn't care we he goes, just funny he wants out of essendon. Hopefully daniher follows. Suddenly players don't want to be there.

I just look at what Max King did yesterday in a final and only his 2nd season and think why can't Weiderman be like that?

Could you just imagine the phone call after last night between ed and bucks?

As much as I hate to say it geelong must beat the pies next week because if the pies get through I fear they will beat brisbane and nothing would make me feel more ill if the pies get into a gf from 8th spot.

7 scoring shot for 4 goals 3 compared with the pies only 3 but kick 3 straight.

Ugh 1 point. All those opportunities they had in the beginning of that final term and couldn't kick a goal. I hate you west coast for inflicting another week of us having to hear about this win, having to hear the pies for another week in finals and hearing and seeing Ed be happy.

Nic Nat sitting on the bench and grundy has had a hand in there last 2 goals. 10-2 inside 50s and west coast can't get a goal. Kennedy's last 4 shots have been behinds. Ugh bloody west coast, you had everyting going your way and you stuff it up. Now we will have to put up with collingwood for another week and I reckon they will beat geelong to. I've switched off, cannot stomach the pies win.

Collingwood will win this. Hope I'm wrong but west coast just can't get free, they aren't manning up on pies players and I think they just thought they'd coast through this game.

West Coast fought back. Come on come out and smash the pies in the final half. Gee kind of glad we aren't playing them tonight.

Ugh this is what I was afraid of with collingwood. They have the ability to stand up and perform well when they aren't rated. Come on west coast. By the way Nic Nat missed a few easy tackles in there.

Ryder hamstring. Poor guy in the last few minutes to. That's just shattering.

What a great game. Saints nearly stuffed it but happy for them. But they have no chance against Richmond if Ryder isn't available. Now we just need west coast to thrash the pies and the storm to win and it will be a good weekend.

Wonder if Nathan is watching his brother? I'm sure he is, but gee the saints are doing well

Well done brisbane but gee thought they were going to let it slip when they couldn't kick a goal in that final quarter. Happy for Fagan and I reckon his mate Neale would be rapt for him. So far results have gone the right way. We just need west coast to knock out the pies.

Gee Brisbane missed 2 easy shots in the final minutes. Hope they hold on. But it is good seeing the lions fans back at the gabba making lots of noise.

Go Brisbane tonight

Happy for Ken Hinkley. He embraced the pressure he was to come under at the start of this season. He has coached htis team beautifully. They have 1 foot in the GF.

Do nth have to pay out the remainder of his 2 years. Gee that's a bit awkward moving your brother on. Nth seem to be a rabble. They want to trade there forward, I mean who will kick there goals next year? Higgins may move on which to me is a mistake because he has been great for them and provides experience. On another note I see essendon have put sheedy on there board. Isn't time essendon moved on and started new without him. I mean they sacked him as coach years ago and he is still there in the background. I know he was obviously at gws but surely at some stage you have to cut the apron strings.

So long as west coast put the pies out. That's all that matters. Honestly I'd love to see a port/brisbane gf. I don't hate either team and I think it would be good to see different teams in it. Love to see brisbane knock off the tigs and port win tonight. Dogs/saints not fussed who wins.

Gee our former players have been naughty. Watts leaving the scene of a car crash, Harley ending up in hospital, breaching covid and now Jesse.

Well we gave him a chance and he didn't make the most of it. I wonder if 5 10 years down the track Harley looks back and thinks what could have been. He had all the talent but never took advantage of it. I hope he gets his life to a peaceful place.
