Winners at last

I might pop over to the Saints bigfooty post match thread (shortly). Nothing like a bit of schadenfreude. Did anyone else read the 'highlights' of Justice Lee's judgment in the Lehrmann defamation case? I recommend it. I especially loved the line "After escaping the lion's den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat." Comic gold. Is anyone else still actually watching the match?

It tends to be players with surname type first names. I first noticed it with Mitchell White of WC Eagles about 30 years ago. Continued with Fraser Gehrig et al. Although that BT moron used to call him "Fraser" sometimes. This discussion is more interesting than the carnage taking place at Doglands.

Commentator just called Bailey Williams. There's only one player on the ground with that surname. Thankfully Bailey Smith isn't playing.

There is only player on the ground with the surname Dale. Why do the commentators always identify him as Bailey Dale? They don't do the same with other players.

Saints are woeful. Free kick Bulldogs back in force.

I hate the filth.

He'll play v Tigers. Goodwin rarely drops someone after one match ... well, other than Tomlinson and Schache.

It's a yes from me.

It is beyond tragic ... RIP Ashlee and the 5 others who were murdered. Her 9 month old daughter was also attacked, but thankfully survived. But she will grow up without her mum. Good's nine-month-old baby was rushed to hospital on Saturday and is now "doing well" after hours of emergency surgery, her family said in a statement. It is beyond belief that this happened.

WOW !!!

Not ideal. I had a bad feeling about this match. Minimal consolation is collecting on my bet on Brisbane. Also relieved that I couldn't attend the match.

Sportsbet has the Bears @ $2.82. Ridiculous odds. I put $50 on them. Hopefully I lose my money.

Yes, some of us cannot stand apo's'tophe abu's'e.

Shame the Blues won. Somewhat ironic that it was based on a 'mark' when the ball was touched, but overlooked. The opposite of that match v Demons where the ball wasn't touched (Marchbank) but was determined that it was. I don't like the Dishlickers, but I hate Jee-long much more.

So many GWS midfielders are now playing elsewhere ... Shiel, O'Meara, Hopper, Prestia, Taranto et al.

West Coast's experienced players let them down ... Kelly, Darling, Duggan. Not 'our' Jayden though, he was OK.

Good effort by Eagles. Sadly they will run out of steam. Great goal by Jayden. Shame about his next 2 efforts. Will always be remembered fondly by Demons supporters, especially WalkingCivilWar who had a cougar type crush on him !!!

He's a total di#khead. Having said that, I did notice that too. But I think Clarry's actions were quite reasonable. Getting concussed is not a great option. I think that this will become more common ... it doesn't need the media to call it out.
