Return to Glory

Optimistically, we can get 7, possibly 8 wins in the run home. That's us playing finals. Rounds 13, 14, 17 and 20 look very hard. But we can jag at least one of these And we need to beat Norf, we just need to. Not just because of the points but because I hate that non entity of a club. Watched one of there players stand over Vince when he was doubled up on the ground and scream in his ear. It was just shite and symbolic of how that tin can club has bullied us. That needs to end.

Generous BB.

Might just take a peek at the candidates for pick four in the draft. FMD. Still, there's a half to go.

To be fair bb, at the 25 minute of the last I did mutter to myself 'I think the dogs have this'.

Sneaky feeling the Saints will get over the Bulldogs today. Bulldogs have too much of an unsettled line up. Disclaimer - able to change opinion at the 20 min mark of the last.

Drive to the ground.

6. Hibberd 5. Hunt 4. Hannan 3. Viney 2. Pedo 1. Struggling here

Did Kent play? (rhetorical)

Went in against one of the premier ruckmen in the competition without a recognised ruckman. Proved the difference.

Collingwood look trained to the minute

And the brains of a gnat

Here's hoping the Aints have just as much success with their two first round picks as they have with the sharp shooting, bust - a -gut McCartin. Pity Raph Clarke hasn't younger twin brothers.

No worries. How about McCartin's performance today...lol

McCartin...lol

I hate these NT games. They're momentum killers. We generally lose to a team we should beat (that team is always one better suited to the conditions), come back rooted then lose to another team we should beat. I'm sure there's a reason we play them but I don't know what that is.

'Derryn Hinch was supposed to be here today...but he had to get the bite marks out of his mirror.'

Yes, it was probably ghosted but as a young boy I couldn't wait to read Lou's columns before the game. I'm sure many are in the same boat. Maybe it's rose coloured glasses, but I remember that period as a gentler, funnier time as a football follower. Before professionalism made much of the media analysis one big yawn fest. Perhaps that's what time does. Not sure I'll look back at the golden period of Dwayne Russell however. RIP Lou Richards.

Perhaps make it a couple of months.

You're always good value and make a lot of sense Wiseblood. I'm just finding it hard to digest because I'm so dirty on them right now.

I can pinpoint the moment we screwed it. First quarter, Dom Tyson with no peripheral awareness (streaming into the 50) turns it over. 3 goals to 2 becomes 4 and f'ing 1.

Before I gain my composure, Dom Tyson is a plumb average player.

Yet to tip a winner this round. Don't think I'm on my Pat Malone. Have GC and Doggies so could break a record in horrendous tipping.

Intuitive indigenous talent that can play inside/outside would certainly be what I'd be looking at targeting come draft time.

Would normally watch the game live. Instead, followed on a website that had twitter feed. It may well be me (accustomed to a diet of very funny Demonlanders, BBO, Biffen, ET et al) but when did Titus O'Reilly's shtick become so shite? Yes, I'm sure many love him, he's a Dee etc.

To be fair ET, so did they. I've seen us lose these many, many times.
