90 minutes before game I think

Hunt rumor has hit AFL Website but still just a rumor at this stage, hasn't hurt the betting yet so who knows

Just got to Melbourne and had my 1st beer can't wait for game time

$1.96 on Sportsbet

And the dees have been backed into $1.96 swans $1.88 dees were over $2 last night

Nothing on AFL Website in late whispers about hunt they would be all over it you would think

I hope hunt plays but if he is sore no point risking him as much as we need him

I have been up since 4:30 going to be a long day before I jump on the train this afternoon

If true that's a good thing, we are clearly setting high standards and there will be no passengers, Kent really needs to pull his finger out or might find himself on the trade table

Good article if you can get around the paywall

They’ve been complaining for years. Whether it’s their recruiting department, Mark Neeld, Jack Watts, Casey Fields, can’t win at Etihad Stadium, tanking — the list goes on and on and on. Former coach Paul Roos described it as the “veil of negativity”, but why has it gone next level? “Too young”, “no finals experience”, “they can’t handle expectation”, “a bit gimmicky”, “who is their best 22?”, “want to see it next week (always next week)”, “can’t do it across four quarters”, “player X always gets us” … Enough, Dees fans. Get on board and embrace it. Enjoy it.

Still looking forward to this game, heading along hoping for a win but hard to see us pulling it off, I hope it's a close game

If we want to play finals this game is as close as we will get, good practice

Can't see it goody is a straight shooter if he says they are not playing then they won't be

Think I agree with this just not sure if Kent or Kennedy I would pick who puts on the most pressure not sure who has been doing the best in Vfl pressure wise, need unrelenting pressure for 4 quarters to beat the swans the goals will come if our pressure is at its best

If Kent comes in I expect him to give his all, because if he doesn't when we have a full list he won't get back in Hannan has gone past him at this stage

Just said on the news Richmond used part of turnbull speech where he said nice things about houli as a character reference, turnbull office not impressed lol what a bunch of dodgy pricks hope he gets 6 weeks

If we pull off a win this week with all our outs will be very impressive and I think we will finish top 4 if we can

Dees already out to $2.02 swans $1.80 it was opposite only an hour ago

Agree if we manage to pull it off I will be disappointed if we don't finish top 4, Sydney should start favorites

3rd 6 day break in a row and with all our outs if we manage to pull off another win here I will be very disappointed if we don't finish top 4, I'm surprised we are still favorites I expect that to change however

Sydney will start favorites for sure

Afl won't appeal the houli case they have till 12 to make a decision

If garlett has a hamstring would he be running laps?

No chance of playing then
