That top 4/5 is looking very crowded. Take a wrong step and you could quickly drop to fifth. Ruing that loss to the Pies

Rivers has a lazy shot out of defence to two Suns players resulting in a snap goal to the Suns

Wouldn't mind an occasional entry into the corridor by Casey

Would like to see Rivers play on the wing at Casey

Brown with 6 goals

No one really standing out Baker getting a fair amount but just going albeit at a fair level

Rivers just called so he's there No emergency required as we have already played

Mitch Brown 5 straight behinds AND now he kicks a goal on the run

Click on the settings wheel and drop the resolution to 540p Still very watchable but the stream should be steadier

A lovely looking ground. Is that their training facility. Wonder if they hit the BMX jumps after training

I wonder why. Can understand the Telstra control over streaming rights but that applies to the AFL comp. You can't even download the AFL app onto an Nvidia Shield. Good to have the VFL televised but being tied to a laptop/phone is a pain

Looking at it with my red and blue shaded glasses Bulldogs (simply to keep them in the hunt so they can do damage) West Coast (LJ) Freo (positions 1 and 2 are much the same and this will take the Blues out of the hunt for those spots) Geelong v Tigers (draw please) Saints North ( but Crows will win) GWS ( who could barrack for the Pies unless you had to) Port v Suns (neutral) Assuming we keep our winning mojo it will be interesting to see which Victorian team snatches fourth

Strange fixture I wonder why we are not playing the Lions somewhere Next week we play Port at Casey (no Burra burgers this year)

mmmm well if loading caused the Collingwood loss we may need to rethink the process. There's a balance and we missed it Why would you load the whole team at once for example I can understand tapering etc but why would you load against Freo and Sydney. Had we won those 3 we could now load and manage to our hearts desire

Time to play smart and think of this as two games. Adelaide and Geelong Rest Petracca perhaps. Bowey? I do think we wasted an opportunity with the North and Eagles game to strategically manage players

Dare I say We've got this!!!!!!!!!!!

Some quarter but can we go again in the third

nope

We appear to be interchanging Jackson and Weid on the bench rather than one resting forward. Perhaps we will see a change

Well they had to kick straight eventually

The second ruck always starts the first 6 odd minutes on the bench Standard this season at least

Was looking at the national TV ratings for AFL. Thursday night almost equal to Friday night at just over 900k. On Saturday night ratings drop to mid 600k. You can see why we have Thursday night games

2021 figures not released yet but in 2020 of the total variable distribution of $43M we got around $3M and Brisbane got $5M. All clubs got the base distribution of around $10M. All save 4 or 5 got a decent top up by way of variable distribution. We got roughly the same as Carlton, North and the Bulldogs. If we are at base distribution level for 2021 I'd be surprised and it would be a first for a very long time.

I hope that the inclusion of Bedford allows Pickett to play closer to goal. We need some movement in that forward line
