Common sense..actually they should be short priced favourites. Brisbane by 12( either goals or points)

Northerlies usually decrease after dark

Max has peaked and is coming down , he's probably also aware of his knee issues. That's all fair enough but he doesn't seem to learnt how to play "smarter" within his new limits. More time behind the ball, let Grundy run around

Obsession with stats is mostly succumbing to David Kings drivell which comes from the Australian obsession with trying to mirror American football, where " plays" are more constructed and thus open to statistical analysis. Stats are also more informative in tennis because of the simple nature of the ( gadiatorial) competition In our game they are more like mere pointers so experienced analysts get a hint at what to consider. Most/ many times I wager they don't reveal as much useful information as we like to imagine. Kossi's possesion count in the grand final vs last week's is the perfect example of that. Would he have got a stat for the block he laid in the g/ f that allowed Trac to kick his " Daicos leg break" goal I wonder?

Do " pressure acts" also include running really fast at ball carriers who nonetheless know they will have time to dispose of the ball?

Daicos is a shoe in and deservedly so. Trac is always compromised by Oliver. May should,but won't , get a swag of votes.. 2's and 1's at least

Is JVR " tall" in your estimation? Good mark Good kick and competes

Does anyone have a contact in the light tower?

The coach said straight kicking was a quick fix. Now for a forward line and AFL standard footy

That was due some time ago. I am surprised you didn't notice. The fish rots at the head

It's the umpires.. why didnt I think of that?

Which clown reckons Petty should play forward?

Playing with bone on bone makes dominating difficult

St.Kilda by 28 points MFC 9th

Yes its a team sport so I get that it's a collective problem but when the best players don't drag the team up if required, when they don't rectify their own errors or don't " lead by example" the "collective " standards are minimised without anyone noticing.

you think Harmes is the problem? More like the scapegoat. The A graders are the problem

Someone is still saying it's " loading" ? Seriously? Still I guess it's still school holidays isn't it Do fans say that on other teams pages? I suppose it would explain the Eagles (lol) but probably not those two inexplicable losses by the Pies . More relevant would be whether the players have the competitive maturity to match last minute or post siren goals from the 50, in the rain ,to fight out a game like the Bombers and Port. I suspect the only demon who might do that would be Spargo..except it would have to be from 35 out! Or maybe 40 given that he's put 5 metres on his range because he's a pro with fewer natural skills than the demon so called " elite"

What a lot of negative Nellie's ..they beat the Pies nearly beat Port and a few more minutes they would have got past the Lions Dead set flag favourites imo Goody clearly has a very cunning plan he got from Baldrick or maybe its the one about about doing exactly the same thing they've done every week because surely no one would anticipate that.!

Something about the AFL and Geelong

BBB is less of a list clogger than Franklin coz they usually don't pick BBB and no one says anything

I wonder if they will kick it to him on a lead ,which utilises his skill developed over his successful years at his previous Club. It couldn't hurt to try , given the coach says he's been working on the forward set up for two seasons now. Perhaps it's about time for Goody to change the script

Pickett isn't a good crumbing forward..he goes for the dump mark( or should that be the dumb mark?) Forget dump kicks under pressure name one Demon who( still) has a laser flat pin point kick in his repertoire. #bringbackstabkix

Jack Viney says hi

Today I hear Goody acknowledged supply was ok but they need to kick it better and they're working on it! Same script writer as last year when they were working on the forward structure. He gives nothing away and never takes a backwards step but......?? wtf is going on? Wake me up when they develop some character
