Good Times Grimes

Barrett knows what he's talking about, though, and he delivers his views in a completely unbiased manner. Just cold, hard facts.

Just read on theage website that if St Kilda lose tomorrow, we will be out of the bottom four for just the second time in 54 rounds. Go Gold Coast!

Loved the snap in the last quarter...he's shown us what he can do, now it's time to back it up

6- Dom Tyson 5- Nathan Jones 4- Jack Watts 3- Cam Pedersen 2- Jack Viney 1- Bernie Vince Unlucky- just about everyone else!

How good are the kids? Salem, Viney, TYSON, JKH...there's a lot to be excited about!

I love Dom Tyson. I don't care how good Josh Kelly ends up being, I'm happy with that trade.

This umpiring is a disgrace

Sooooooo..... holding the ball doesn't exist anymore?

Gawn is BOG so far. Tyson and Pedo also impressive.

How many weeks for Dawes?

I hope that Toumpas can play well enough to earn a spot for next week. Is it too late to change the sub? I think I'd prefer to see JKH play the full game and Toumpas as sub.

Jetta out with gastro. Toumpas in.

Maybe you could draft up a contract extension for him to sign as well? Two birds, one stone.

Fair enough. Who's the player? Sounds similar to Tom McDonald's journey to the AFL.

Not as embarrassing as having a pickle shoved up your ass!

Maybe we should start a campaign #BringBackJuice

So it's down to Montreal vs New York in the East and the west is looking like it will be LA vs Chicago (LA is currently leading Anaheim 5-0). Who wins it from here? I think Montreal and New York will be a duel between Lundqvist and Price, but I think Montreal will be too good. Montreal in 6. Los Angeles and Chicago will be very interesting. I rate Quick as a far better goalie than Crawford, but I think Chicago's offence is much better than LA's. I'll pick Chicago in 7. As much as I hate to say it, I think that the Canadiens will win it all.

Same could be said for NHLers. I can think of some very soft players that I have seen in recent years: Ribeiro, Kovalev, the Sedins...I could go on. I'm a big fan of both sports, but I fail to see many similarities between the two. I would, however, like to see Zdeno Chara have a go at getting a spot on the Dees' rookie list as a ruckman.

Does anyone know how often tribunal appeals are successful? I can't think of many cases. I think we should appeal out of principle, however I don't like our chances, even though I think the suspension is complete [censored]. This is the Jack Trengove situation from 2011 all over again.

I've been very harsh on Dawes in the past, from the time he was at the filth until early this season. He is making me eat my words and I couldn't be happier to have been so wrong about him.

I like Hardwick and I'd be sorry for him to get let go. He's been one of the few coaches that has stuck up for the Dees when the media have fired potshots at us over the years.

Predictions went 7/8 in the first round...I think that's a personal best. The second round will be tougher to predict, I think. Boston/Montreal will be a fantastic series which I think will go seven. I'm also really looking forward to Anaheim/LA. My picks: Anaheim v LA: Anaheim in 6 Chicago v Minnesota: Chicago in 6 New York v Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh in 7 Montreal v Boston: Montreal in 7 (although I wish they could both lose).

So you're a Melbourne supporter and you're trying to convert other Melbourne supporters into Collingwood ones? That's just what the club needs! Great initiative.

Says the guy who comes on an opposition team's forum and bags its fans...

(6) Pedersen- The best game I have seen him play. He was fantastic. (5) Dunn- I prefer him in the backline. (4) N. Jones- A typical workhorse performance. Perhaps not as influential as usual, but he was still very good. (3) Cross- Just the role model that our young players need (2) McDonald- Held Buddy very well; was unlucky to have the soft free kick called against him. (1) M. Jones- I'm a big fan of this guy. Great run all night long. Unlucky: Vince, JKH
