Clayton - "what do you mean I'm out" Selwyn - "I saw your leg move mate, take the loss and go back to the start" Clayton - "that's bs mate, I was frozen still, no way was I moving" Selwyn - "you suck at Giants treasure mate, don't be a sore loser and go back to the start" Clayton - "it's cold as balls out here, I was shivering, what more do you want me to do, I want that Mars bar" Selwyn - "I'm walking away from this, you moved your leg and I caught you, go back to the rooms"

Getting down to the business end of the season and with Melbourne causing much angst and stress on here with their recent performances, I have found some joy in following the demise of freo which has substantial impact on our draft hand. This week they are playing at home up against Carlton who have won their past two matches (admittedly against Suns and Hawks). A Carlton win will see Freo drop at least two spots on the ladder with the winner of Tigers vs Swans also surpassing the dockers on points.

Brown and JvR would be me ideal key forward set up currently. Surely we look at this sooner rather than later.

Fritsch 7-8 weeks all going well. Hibberd could be available for the Lions. No mention of Verrall who wasn't seen much in the 2nd half. Hopefully just playing limited minutes.

Even more so with pies and power able to rest and rotate their list comfortably while we will have to [censored] our best 22 to try and scrape into top 4. Edit: Strange word being censored there. Guess the filter doesn't pick up context.

JvR has to come in for Fritsch. Other than that I have no idea what to expect. Chandler, Harmes, Melksham and Smith could easily go out but we don't like making that many changes. Would like to see some good VFL form rewarded and we've had Woewodin, Howes, Turner, Laurie knocking on the door for a while now. How long until they start requesting trades for not getting a look in?

At least we knocked freo down a spot?

Next week vs saints is going to be hilariously painful. Edit: for both fans

Somethings wrong at this club. What a waste of talent.

It's Data, obviously.

Does anyone know who travelled with the team? Interested to see if JvR suits up or gets a rest.

My understanding is we still still get compensation, just lose the ability to match the offer. That's assuming we don't recruit any free agents ourselves which will dilute or nullify the compensation depending on contract specifics.

Langfords turned into some sort of player over the last 2 years.

Are we going to see Kenny do another tap dance in celebration tonight?

And just like that suns kick 3 goals in a row and go back above freo. Keep it up please.

Fmd freo lost and they look like they'll end up finishing the week higher on the ladder.

I'm hoping someone will post a compilation of Sydney's misses into a video or gif. Would be hilarious.

Except for freo being two points above the swans now. Swans going to need to find an extra win to get above them. Their percentage would have done the trick but doesn't matter anymore.

Holy [censored] they kicked a goal

Sydney have thrown this game away.

Sydney can't buy a goal.

Is he looking cute in a knee brace?

Would like to see Brown and van Rooyen together in the f50 but gut feel says it will be one or the other.
