BAMF

12 wins will get us to finals. I hope it doesn't come down to round 23 to get the twelfth.

Pretty sure he is saying that both White and Wagner come in to fill Hunt and Salems half back roles. Hunt would then play forward. It would mean a big change to our back 6. But I can see Satys logic. I really dont know about White though...

Yep! Its these guys who will be the first ones to say that we got ahead of ourselves if we lose. I'm waiting until we have 12 wins before I start thinking about winning any finals.

This should have been a fine from the beginning.

I've had a look at some old ladders. Most years 12 wins is enough to guarantee you a spot in the finals. Saints missed out last year on percentage, but this year being so close I think its safe to say that 12 will get you in. We are currently on 8 wins.

I heard an interview with Peter Jackson on Triple M about a month ago. They were discussing the China game and asked PJ if Melbourne had thought about it. Paraphrasing here: Yes we did look at it very briefly. We ruled it out very quickly as it was not in the best interests of the players. The football department looks at all options with the view of what is best for the players. We already sell games to Darwin and will not do anything further that will compromise our teams chances. When pressed on the NT arrangement, He said, the Alice Springs game is not much different to playing a game on the Gold Coast; the weather is similar and its a similar flight time. The Darwin game is a bigger challenge. The amount of money we receive is equivalent to a 60,000 attendance game the G and we simply need the money. Wayne Carey said that surely once we started producing better results on and off the field that we will stop the deal. PJ agreed.

Richmond win places them on 32pts with us and Port. Next week they face Port!

Such a close season. Next week has some absolute cracker games.

They didn't.

It would have been great for Freo to get up there and put us in the top 4. Our primary goal should be making the top 8. If Freo had won they would have been one game behind us on 28pts. Them losing means they are in the backlog of teams still on 24 looking for their next win to stay in the hunt.

farkkkk....

They never gave up! What champions! The Eagles seemed a lot bigger than us and we didnt look like we could compete with their talls. Enter Plugger McDonald; what a game. So good that it was McGovern who was trying to tackle him for that last goal. The best thing was that on one of the replays you can see McGovern look straight to the umpire while he was lying on the ground expecting him to do something about it!

My god... This is surreal...

Oh really?

Up by 2 points. They seem a lot bigger than us. We are getting pushed around.

Has his family moved with him? He wants Kobe to play for the Dee's, so as Dazzle says... the timing is interesting. He is a great dad and would do anything for his boys.

3aw says Hunt not too bad.

This! What is up with this!? They yell ball every time it even looks like a tackle. Bizarre!

That video just goes to show that they dont know the rules! How many of the so called holding the ball calls had prior opportunity? No wonder they were [censored] off if they thought all those should be paid.
