Frankly I'm getting a little tired of suffering premiership envy at this time of year. I had my worst case when the Bulldogs won. Hard to confess that perversely I wanted them to lose. My favourite second team is GWS for the simple reason that their wins mean nothing. Do I care this weekend... probably not... Even if they lose Collingwood will be up and about how well they did this year and will be unbearable next year. West Coast... used to like them but after the drug revelations they have gone down in my eyes. May just follow the Storm and hope Slater beats the rap

But Carlton has the final say of course

Big believer in not promoting the brand name on these ovals. Does anyone know if the new Perth stadium has a common name a la Kardinia Park etc Would be interested to hear comments about the raised ground viewing area and the fence. The high fence is certainly a worrying look on TV. Thanks

Not sure we really had one.

After a very lacklustre first half of the year JKH has won me over in the last six or so weeks. Year with a structured option for a second would be a good outcome. Bugg has been disappointing I will admit.

Hunt having a bit of a shocker. JKH quiet after a great first quarter

Should have had one more goal perhaps to reflect the dominance but great start.

amazing... never knew that... thanks for that Dee-lic

GWS are presumably in the same boat with Kelly as we are with Hogan. Trade/resign him this year or he can leave next year (2019) in return for a desultory draft pick. Makes one wonder about the possibilities except that a straight trade would not be of interest to GWS given the talls they already have.

Am I correct in assuming that the top 6 play each other twice in the following year? This will be good for revenues if so as it gives us home games against Collingwood, Richmond and Hawthorn. GWS and WCE home games can possibly be played at our winter home away from home in the Territory ... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

If we play them at "home" it's likely to be in Darwin or the Alice unfortunately.

Let's hope Stretch breaks into the team and stays there on merit in 2019. Not sure about Kent and even less sure about Garlett.

Sidebottom has had a stellar finals series. Our players have been okay but no one took the game apart. That's one big difference

Perhaps they could use the GF ticket ballot money we all paid and give free entry ?

try $1M if the level 3 punters had a go Remember it's only the cost of a cup of coffee That cup of coffee possibly means not playing in Darwin if it had gone to the club

no... the finals were $15 a head. Not sure about the price of the GF. Pity it's at Docklands... zero atmosphere

can those who are criticizing him suggest who we replace him with? One of the best late senior players we have picked up. Sure we gave him three years but it's not his fault that there's not someone bashing down the door to take his place. And of course his first two finals were sublime.

Time to bump this up. Yeah I know it would have been great to watch on a big roll etc etc but these guys have done a lot for the club and deserve our support tomorrow. See you then

Eagles .. 3 inside 50's this quarter = 3 goals Hell we're back where we were at the start of this season !!

4 goals to 2 this quarter our way... the premiership quarter of course Inside 50's 12-2 our way too much too little too late

yeah ... go dees

I would like to see them outscore the Eagles for the second half as a minimum.

perhaps ... but losses like this just restart the old cycle of fragility

The real shame is that a performance like this will cost us 5 plus thousand members next year.

A goal to each of the famous trio .... couldn't have had a worse start Wait AFL have changed Le Cras' score from a goal to a point
