HIs girlfriend would be worried.

They would be undercutting the MFC shop and put them out of business.

Stick to your plasma till it dies then buy an OLED. 80in TV's will always have a premium price because there is a limited market for them.

The year we got Watts we also missed some great opportunities further down. We dudded with Bleese, Strauss and Bennell. We could have had Ballantyne, Shuey, D Beames, Sloane, M Walters, Zaharakis and Hannebery and a stack of other current good players. All these players came after Strauss and Bleese. We did get lucky with Jetta at pick 51.

Nearly all new large high end TV's are now 4K. Best to wait until 4K content is mainstream and TV's cheaper. Now there is virtually no decent 4K content. Who knows when footy will be broadcast in 4K. Maybe in 5 years time if lucky. Viewers will also appreciate little benefit or difference from 1080p to 4K if viewing from over 2.5 metres away. Who watches a 55in or larger TV's close up anyway?

Those match ups 1-5 make me wince. Watts and NicNat would be at least a draw. The others 100 point thrashings.

Will make a good replacement for the prince.

That was mentioned on SEN. Someone went into the rooms at half time and the players were happy and relaxed. He thought; oh oh!

Yes it is, but maybe he has returned to Perth. Jones's comments are also a little strange. More info would be helpful.

Reported on SEN that Hogan is still in Perth and may not play next Monday due to family health issues. Hmmm......

Obviously potential sponsors don't think we are the real deal yet. Saturdays game won't change that perception.

These medical report suspensions are clearly open to abuse. I can see this easily happening. Club X plays Club Z in final round. Both have secured a finals spot. Superstar from club X whacks tagger from club Z who continues playing with no ill effects. Club X doctor says tagger has suffered from delayed concussion. Superstar misses finals games and impacts club Z'd chances.

I thought 7 broadcast footy in SD even though it's normally shown on their HD channel. Is that true?

Better if this question is left for next week.

I would be very worried if they still haven't won a game when we play them in a few weeks.

I believe at this stage Goodwin does not deserve criticism or praise. He has one hell of a culture change job to do. Don't envy him for it.

No doubt about improvement and the talent is mostly there. But there is a stage where we must accellerate the rate. Three seasons of slow improvement going on to a fourth rebuild season with a shaky start. We have to push higher this season or else we will be in danger of peaking in 7th, 8th or 9th with buggerall chance of tasting a flag. We could be in a position where we may be looking at another decade before our next window.

I am sure many fans at quarter time had a sense of déjà vu. A loss coming up was so predictable.

Instead of working on ways to make the app work properly as it should. Bugs aplenty on the ipad. The AFL seems to be only working on ways to making it less acccessable first.

I recall the days when posters were saying Neeld was a good coach. His tough style was a refreshing change . He was going to change the club culture. Yeah right. Not sure yet where Goodwin fits in. The players seem to play with enthusiasm but the same old rule of thumb seems to apply. If the opposition come to play we revert to headless chook syndrome.

And now reasonable to assume more sides are better than us or at least the ones that show up to play.

Typical consistent performance by Melbourne over a [censored] side at home.

I thought we got rid of Lucas Cook years ago.

I think we will have truly arrived when we start beating good sides in hard fought battles in tight games. For the last year or so we have mostly won or lost too easily. Close score games last season were against deplorable sides like Essendon, Carlton and GC where we seem to do everything we can to lose. We were much better against Carlton this year but against Geelong we were terrific for a long time but still rolled over too easily when the game was there to be won. How long has it been since we beat a switched on side in a hard fought game? The Freo game has a lot of danger signs for us. If we do everything right we should win comfortably, but.....

Can't watch it on my AFL app. What a fark up!
