and of course it had to come... Goal to Freo and we are now just 4 points up

no wind in Darwin..good conditions ...= no excuse but you will keep finding them

the longer the game goes the slower it will get.... we should be 6 goals up which would allow us to control the pace of the game. Instead we are chasing our tail

Hawks... 6 straight against the Doggies... 6 goals that is

and to think we used to joke about the Saints kicking !!

need another gameplan the forward press is embarrasingly bad

well...what do you know... a goal to Freo

No you don't... like the '88 GF it wasn't a great day for the MFC. Now the week before against North was something to see

oooooooh......that was close

In their museum they have a whole floor entitled " The Soviet Occupation". Not much love lost these days with the Russian government. I could not help but think of the parallels between Stalin, Adolf and for that matter Napoleon. All from other countries become dictators of the adopted country.

A great performance in terrible conditions. Wish the AFL team could replicate

AVB...maybe..the slow conditions today suit him. Let's wait to see some dry weather form

Drainage is obviously not one of the strong points of the Casey ground

Georgia is a seriously beautiful country. Tbilisi is known as the new Prague. Wonderful value as well.

Hi from Tbilisi in Georgia The cradle of wine and great food. A mere 38 here yesterday but after a little storm last night hopefully a bit cooler today

really is a game of inches. Brazil could have won that 8-1 but lost. France could not really get their game going but got the win. Good signs and are probably the tournament favourites now. Mind you being the favourite in this WC is not a good thing !!

The spots certainly there if he is good enough. Has not really had a stellar year at VFL so he's got a way to go.

Would like to see Balic put his mark on the game. After a good start to the season he seems to have plateaued.

Need to take 5 or more players off the ground from each side to give this game a chance. At present it is almost an irrelevancy. Long time since I've seen a player jump the fence to get the ball !!

Is Weideman playing ?

yes.... i think we can say they are done for the year

Tigers to thrash Adelaide and snuff out any chance of the eight please. Collingwood v Essendon (draw please) otherwise Collingwood win by a few points though a Collingwood loss and the start of a slide out of the 8 could be enjoyable as well.

By the way would anyone like to comment on the penalty given to England against Colombia. Not a soccer expert but it looked like the clumsiest act I have ever seen and so worth a penalty. My only question and I am not sure it is relevant to a penalty is that Kane did not seem to be in a realistic spot to score. The Colombians are still complaining backed by no one better than Diego "hand of God" Maradona. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/05/colombia-dirtiest-team-ive-ever-played-against-john-stones

Great first season... Has really cemented his spot. In the top 15 of the club at present if not near the top ten.
