Footy classified will be good because Garry will be happy to talk about it and im sure they will ask Lloydo about his article on roos yesterday, and Talking Footy is pretty good. I dont have foxtel but im sure they will be talking baout it on teh couch and of course afl 360 with roosy. Having been at work yesterday im still catching up on highlights. At least now when we have to go back to the cattery we wont be haunted by past events and have more confidence. But from now on I think thats it. We stop talking about the past. We have the kids in hogan, brayshaw, neal- bullen and stretch to lead us into the future.

Im actually working today so will have it on until 5 then check the results near the end of the game. Im expecting to lose and geelong should thrash a team like us, but hopefully we can give it a good contest and we compete and hawkins doesnt dominate like he usually does.

I hope Boyd doesnt cop what Watts has. Yes I know he took the big contract but we have seen what has happened to watts. Besides I sort of like that GWS lost a tall forward.

Geez it annoying watching Stef Martin an athletic ruckman run around at the lions. I get at the time at melbourne he may not have played this well but at the moment he'd be handy for us. We traded him for picks 52 (Matt Jones) & 71 (Daniel Nicholson). Was that trade under Neelds watch?

tigers fans get a reality check and may stop talking about grand finals now.

Last week during the game Hogan came off numerous times getting extensive work on his hammy. Id rather him miss a week then play and injure it and miss 3 or 4. With the bye next week it gives him 2 weeks rest. I hope the players arent going into the game with the mindset they used to have when they knew they wouldnt win and they just hoped to compete. At least we are going in with 2 known ruckman who actually play that position.

Gee hasnt a lot changed that day. 2 people involved have lost there lives, 3/4s of the team has gone, administrators have gone. Only good thing abut that day being there was I went to a beautiful mexican restaurant afterwards.

Not a bad match up. Watts has the tank to go with him apparently. Make him be defensive on a player who has really improved.

Gawn will have his work cut out with Blicavs. Although Stanley and Kelly are both out for geelong. There in look as good as ours blease and cockatoo. Its good to have Dawes back just to give Hogan some help and not make him the only target up forward.

Foxtel have to show a certain number of games and as its a split round thats why they get the sunday games until the rounds are back to normal. Well I havent been back since that debacle 186 day. If the game was on Saturday id go but not at 3:20 on a sunday arvo and by the time you get home and that its a tad late when some of us have to be up very very early the next day. I have chosen to work instead but will be listening. No Mitch Clark and Bartel isnt ready. I hope we can be competitive and for christs sake no more injuries.

I feel for grimes. I thought he was pretty good on sunday. I can handle a long injury list but not when its made up of very very good players who would be in the starting 22. The worst thing is we are only 1/2 way thought the season.

looking at the centre bounce set up after Howe's goal, the players in the middle looked like vice, tyson and viney. Why was our captain and best gatherer not in there at the crunch time.

Just got home from the game. Oh my god, that was the worst last quarter of footy ive seen in a long time. Basic skill errors that should not happen at and afl level. But what got me was the set up in the middle after Howe kicked that goal. We didnt seem to man up and we left so much space in there no wonder it got cleared out easily. Then we should have had more numbers back. Montagna should have never been given that free space just to run into an open goal. So frustrating.

I doubt there will be a stkilda loose man back in our forward line today. I just want this win. We should beat the saints.

waite missed an easy goal for them. One he should have kicked. He is so frustrating.

Lets face it. Geelong should beat us. But kelly and stanley will miss id say and they said on the news tonight Mitch will miss another week. But im pretty sure the geelong boys would want to get up for Enrights 300th and I have no doubt selowood would be annoyed with his input last night and wouldn't want to play 2 bad game in a row.

west coast up by 5 goals before half time. Hope they keep going and [censored] the hell out of the bummers.

Glad to see Stretch and grimes back. Interested to see what Bullen can do. Gee I hope we can win. Just another fact. It was a year ago this weekend we beat the bummers in that awesome game. I still like watching that last play where salem kicked the sealer. How we miss him off the half back.

How good is it watching a decent number 10 running around. Ive been more impressed with angus in his first what 10 games than I have been with some players who we have had on our list for a few years. I just love his tackling and ball use. Hope he is a 200+ gamer with us

Watching today I cant believe grimes was dropped while thee were others out there that were bad.

Well im looking forward to it. I was reading the age where they had the story on the Wiz's 9 goal 2nd half. What a great day that was. I just hope we play hard and put on a great show and win. I have given up a days work and good penalty rates to attend today. Id love to see Mxy play well, Hogan dominate and our midfield get on top and cloke has a shocker. The trophy is an interesting one. I guess because the game and the event with raising money for MND is today, but I would have thought if they were going to do a trophy it would be a melbourne essendon game as he had a connection with both clubs. anyway lets hope Neale is back next year to present it.

remember after r2 when they just beat hawthorn. Turd was talking about making the top 4 and how the players deserve it. Maybe just aim to win a few more games and don't get ahead of yourself. Essendon should be only on 2 wins. Both hawthorn and the saints should have won against them. Next week they play west coast in perth. Good luck.

Oh please essendon lose by 100. Geelong are doing this without mitch as well. Steve J 4 goals.

This is great. Fans are turjing on the golden boy. Just goes to show the best players don't make the best coaches and maybe you do need to do some assistant coaching before you get the top job. I never thought geelong would be up by this much.
