that goal made it very difficult to pass Lions percentage

Come on guys

well that was RUBBISH

Why are they clearing so easily from our forward 50

A bit of corridor play would not go astray but I did notice a few kick outs to the corridor area that didn't come off. North are parking the bus so we need to be quicker on the rebound

Just watch that last chain.... disgusting

This is all about skill level. Barely one decent connective chain

OMG.... forward delivery !!!

Sloppy to say the least... No skills as yet on display

Wow KP !!

This game is about percentage...while margin is important, it's the for and against (numerator and denominator) that count. 100 to 50 is my wish A five point win next week against the Blues could see the % go down so this is a big one. Would like a Brisbane loss perhaps but then again there's the draft pick

Oh no.. it will be a weekly if not daily injury watch

Six weeks.... Prelim final return My guess is that they're conservative and he'll be back a week earlier if needed

Strange sub... Hibberd in at some stage and Bowey forward perhaps

Both Hawks and Pies are corridor teams which tends to clog up the corridor itself. Because Pies are usually more skilful than their opponents they win. When the skills let you down though.... You lose

That would have been interesting... A trade by the Eagles for pick 2 is just not the same as trading pick 1

Very interesting......

I think you will find that the deal was with the MCC Trust which may have members appointed by the Government but they're not the Govt The economic benefit of a non interstate team GF is relatively small in the scheme of events. Anyway it's not moving for a few years or until someone needs the money

Money can unlock anything. The GF is a big event in the scheme of things which the MCC got for very little. Every third year in another city (highest bidder) could see a deal done

The Carlton v Saints game could be a key game to shaping the 8. If the Blues win and teams presently outside the 8 (Sydney, Geelong) lose the Blues will be 6 points clear with only 4 games left to catch up. Mathematically possible and of course the Blues play us next week

That's a classic example of the fix being put in.. The only interesting question is who suggested it

If he'd kicked 2 of those 3 shots on goal most would be screaming his praises

Will we look back on this team selection and say it cost us our finals series a la 2022. Time may tell

I can't recall the last time when 5 games out from season's end that the performance of teams below us were almost irrelevant to our long term position. Port and Brisbane are the main games in town Let the others scrap....

Tigers have put the cue in the rack. Martin and Cotchin out.... Managed Lucky Bulldogs
