Yeah but then he did what no none has had the guts to say out aloud. He pointed out Nic Nat and his work ethic around the ground and how he probably isn't fit enough and has only taken 7 marks for the season.

I'm so torn on who I want to see win today in the big game. I like seeing essendon lose and with the pies going the way they are to see them lose would be even better and see Buck's demise just get worse. Maybe a draw would be the best outcome.

I'm just so happy for him and his family. His 2 kids would have been so proud last night to run out with there dad then see him get chaired off. Nice they got Neita to present his jumper. So glad he got there and his experience still helps us in the side. He will be very happy this morning.

We did what no other team could do, we tackled dusty, we held dusty and we injured dusty. I couldn't give a toss that he has been carrying a footy injury.

I am just so impressed with how well Tom is playing. His marking is awesome and I just feel so confident when he is kicking for goal. Salem is just so good a reliable user of the footy. My only knock on lever and may is they need to stop jumping for the same ball and getting in each others way. Spargo has surprised me so far.. His tackling tonight was good and his run down on Houli was just brilliant. Jackson was stating to take his marks and we need to keep him fit. I am just so happy. Boy those Richmond supporters are annoying. The group in front of me were getting on the beers but kept reminding viney of the bump stack did on him. Like seriously it was a good hit but it was a couple of years ago and anyone would think a hip and shoulder has never happened before. Also they were just speaking random crap. after 1/2 time they were pretty quiet. I'll tell you who had the best seat in the house. Chandler did. He got to sit on the bench, watch us win and play good footy, get paid for it and didn't have to do a thing. Bring on the roos next week.

So who's nervous for next week? No seriously tonight was just awesome. To hold Riewoldt goaless after the 5 minute mark of the 1st quarter was outstanding & to keep Lynch goaless all night was brilliant. We kicked accurately & never let them back in it. Only negative. Jones didn't kick a goal

How goods footy!!!

1 more quarter. We deserve this. Come on boys keep going

Track needs to go forward & kick some goals. Have full confidence when Tommy goes for goal

Great quarter. Silenced the annoying Richmond supporters around me. Hibbard doing awesome on dusty. Keep it going boys

May making some errors. Jackson needs to stop leading wide to the boundary

Gee the cats/eagles game could get ugly. I know the eagles have a few uinjuries but they still have a few good players out there. Oh and the nuffy that told me that nic nat was a better ruckman than gawn because he has more ruck flair, well not really seeing that today. 7 disposals and no marks so far. Happy to see gold coast probably win and it keeps sydney off our tails.

You know we are playing well because all the jokes are coming at us about cheese platters, supporters cancelling ski trips, leaving our beach houses the go dees mimicking. We cannot play like we did for the first 3 quarters las week. Richmond will roll us. Tonight is a true test to show where we are at. People are waiting for us to drop games and we need to bring our best. We need to start well, kick accurately and bring the pressure. I'm a bit more confident with May coming in and good to have Fritta back. But this game has now turned into something The pre match ceremony is just so beautiful. On another note tonight is the first time 2 female presidents are running the show. Who would have guessed that would ever happen 20 years ago Anyway congrats to all the milestones tonight and gee how good would it be if we won. Imagine the noise.

How good would it be if he kicks our first goal tongiht or just kicks a goal and we win. The crowd will go nuts. But well done Nathan, you deserve it after all the crap you have had to go through. You have believed the group would get better and saw something that us supporters couldn't. A win would be great.

I find it disgraceful that we are the oldest club yet have only produced 2 300 gamers. I mean Adelaide and the dogs have produced a few and we are so much older.

Surely Port/Dogs gets the friday night game over saints/geelong. I know which game i'd rather watch. Right now both teams aren't playing great and geelongs game is horrible. I wish we got the saturday afternoon slot instead of sunday at 3:20 again. I hope we get rewarded soon with good slots. Essenscum is starting to get lose time slots that no one cares about. although I don't mind the 1:10 games.

I watched the other night and said why are you yelling. Poor Gerard must think I'm just sitting here.

This week Gus will also play his 100th game for the red and blue. Obviously it will be overshadowed by Jonsey's 300th but congrats to Angus. He has battled many injuries and a lot of serious concussions. But he has come back and played some good footy so far.

I believe he will be on the couch tonight and goody will be on AFL 360

Yes I thought that yesterday when I noticed it more. For some reason we feel we need to have music. Just turn down the volume. You get the loud music then the siren. It is hard to have a conversation and then what annoys me is when people have the conversations while the footy is being played which does really annoy me. At half time just let the auskick kids play and let people have a chat. I go and see the storm play and they don't have that.

Hey a message to the media and journos. I know Nic Nat is exciting and has this freakish talent and grundy can get a lot of hitouts but our guy just wanted to remind you all he can play to. Today Maxy did it all. He was up forward kicking a beautiful goal, he had 10 marks, 26 disposals and 24 hitouts. He went down back to help out and just played all over the ground. It was the complete performance. ps. Yes his goal kicking does sometimes frustrate us but that 50m kick he out through was beautiful to watch.

Good so we can stop the nonsense now. Goodwin has said Jones will play next week so lets celebrate it.

On Jones, yes he had a quiet game today but i'm backing him in next week. If we were losing then yes I'd say you have to look at his spot but I'm sorry this guy deserves to play his 300th on a big game and in front of a huge crowd. The thing is we don't need Jones to get the 20 possessions anymore because finally we have other mids that can step up now. For years this guy has carried us and he has been through the worst and stayed loyal. The players love him and have already mentioned after the game about it being his 300th next week, It would just feel so flat if we dropped him this week and what do we want him to play his 300th the week after in tassie in front of no one? Play him and the players can use it as extra motivation to win. He deserves it. Let him enjoy his moment as only the 2nd player to reach the 300 club for our team.

I love this team!

Never in doubt. We can now trust this team
