I wonder if nth just go in thinking its just going to happen for them. Blue sky sun out, perfect conditions. No excuses. Its time today for the boys to step up and win and win well. 4 quarters of good footy

Well unfortunately I will be missing the game today. First one at the G in years. But my god please let this streak be over today. If we lose today tomorrows media will be wild. But im confident we will get the job done.

nup not until Oliver wins a couple of brownlows, helps his team to win a flag and be consistent every week. Oliver also needs to kick goals to add to his skill set. That is something Judd did.

That was just a brilliant game to watch especially that final quarter. But gee how many frees that should have been paid to the hawks let go by the umps in the final few minutes. I know people say let them go but that danger one was holding the ball and then mitchell should have got a free when he was collected high and ablett accidentally I know but made contact with a hawthorn players head. But how good is it seeing Roughy back playing good football and marking them like that up forward. The cats missed Harry Taylor badly today. All the talk was about the cats big 3 mids but it didn't get them the 4 points.

I just want to see Brayshaw given a go. Just get him in already.

Look if someone said before the match we would win by 26 points we would have said great. Yes I didn't see brisbane kicking 7 in a row to come back but a few years ago we would have capitulated and they would have run over us. It was great to see Hogan play so well and Jeffy do some good things. I hope they are shown the 3rd quarter and where we went wrong. Its 4 points a win on the road and I will take that. But gee we would want to play a lot better next week.

Ha just read this on news.com the pies are trying to copy port and play Metallica nothing else matters before the game but it backfired badly. http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/metallica-might-not-have-been-the-best-choice-collingwood/news-story/28bcca8c2b5d5b6dde35a899c2976c80

Whohoo go freo. Ended off a good night coming home to see the bummers lose.

Gold Coast don't seem to be missing Ablett

I know it's a bit late but havent had a chance to get near a computer but good on Adelaide for making sure Rance played 1 on 1 footy and had to have an opponent to look after rather than just let him do what he does best. Yes he had a good 2nd half but he was made accountable in the 1st half and I hope other clubs do this. Should we be throwing money at Lynch?

It has just clicked tonight hearing nic nats name no longer do I have to hear or worry about the watts/nic nat comparison. Good comeback by the eagles though. Set up for a great final term.

1 goal 7 in that final quarter. Just devastating and should have done better.

Argh! So frustrating. Our inability to lay a tackle was frustrating at times. It's the basic stuff we stuffed up. That 2nd quarter was where we lost it. It was a good comeback and actually a good game to watch but my god it was painful to lose. I thought Gawn had that in the bag. Admittedly Menzel missed 2 sitters which would have snuffed out the game. But as a leader Gawn needs to kick those. Lewis gave away that dumb 50 as well which didn't help. I know it is not his fault at all but when Hunt had the ball with about 10 seconds to go he just needed to barrel that in quicker instead of just hanging onto it looking for a target. Should have just got it onto the boot and banged it in. We tamed Hawkins but it was Menzel we actually needed to worry about in the end. Oh and if I hear how good Ablett's game was I will be annoyed. Yes he had 39 but how many kicks did he butcher and how many times was he tackled with the ball? They wernt great 39 possessions. Footy season is back and its still as frustrating as ever.

Please do not over handball

As 3:20 nears im feeling a tad nervous. Worst thing to happen is ablett gets the ball and kicks the 1st goal. We need to get off to an awesome start

Just flicked through the radio and discovered slobbo has found a job on 3aw after hutchy axed him.

It sort of feel strange to be going to the footy again. Its good to have it back and i just hope it's a better performance than the last time we played. A win would be perfect and i can't wait to see how hogan goes and see lever live.

Well Adelaide have ruined my saturday morning. up by 20 at 3/4 time, I know they were missing players but they should have won.

Bugger.crows up by 20 at 3/4 time and lose. Should have won.

Gee Jake Stringer isn't the smartest tool in the shed. Forgot his wallet and his car pass so couldn't park underneath but still found time to put this story on social media where it's now removed after apparently an essendon official said probably not a good idea to put that online. https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/jay-clark-says-that-jake-stringer-nearly-didn-t-get-let-into-etihad-stadium-before-tonight-s-game

Gee im sick of hearing how good Rance is. Yes we know he is a good defender but coaches don't give him a 1 on 1 to go with. He is just free to do what he wants. Silvagni was playing as a defensive forward but that hasn't worked. Anyone can get the ball when they don't have to watch an opponent. anyway I expected this to be well and truly over. It's been entertaining. Gee it would be funny if the blues snuck home but its hard when kruezer is injured. I hope the melbourne players are told when they play on sunday do not even step a toe over the mark or else it's 50.

Casboult needs to lift big time. also it would be nice to have a charlie curnow beside Hogan in our goal square. But credit to carlton. I thought this game would be well and truly over by now.

It's just nice that players want to stay rather than everyone looking to walk.

Would love to see Rance get toweled up tonight.

I expect Richmond to win comfortably. I will watch the beginning of it and flick between that and the storm game. Tomorrow night I cannot believe the bummers get a home Friday night game. The crows deserved to have it on there home turf.
