What

No but we would be a 90% chance.

Looks like Essendrug will play finals. Proves the were barely punished for the drug cheating regime. They should have been out of the finals for 5 years minimum. But they were allowed to keep their top picks, got handed the easiest draw despite all their returning players, and were allowed to keep their top up players like Tipungwiti who no other club access to as he was never in a draft. [censored] you AFL.

Wouldnt give up Jones for Beams. Their stats are almost identical, the difference being that Jones is a leader while Beams is not. Lynch is kidding himself if he thinks their mids match up to ours. We have one of the best midfields in the league. They are bottom 4 for a reason. No team with a great midfield has ever finished bottom 4.

A myth Round 1 - 30 pt Win v Saints - Hogan 21 disposals, 8 marks, 3 goals Round 2 - 22 pt Win v Blues - Hogan 22 disposals, 10 marks Suspended Round 5 - 11 point loss to Tigers - Hogan 11 disposals, 3 goals - Tigers only beat us as we were two men down Jesses father passes away Round 7 - 3 point loss to Hawks - Hogan 16 disposals, 4 marks, 3 goals Diagnosed with his illness Round 16 - 18 point win vs Blues - Hogan 10 disposals, 4 marks, 1 goal Round 17 - 46 point loss to Crows - Hogan 11 disposals, 7 marks Round 18 - 23 point win vs Power - Hogan 23 disposals, 5 marks, 3 goals Round 19 - 4 point loss vs North - Hogan 11 disposals, 2 marks, 1 goal - injured during game Hes played 8 games, our record is 4-4. THe RIchmond loss was unlucky, and we would have beat North if he didnt get injured. He was dominant in 3 games. He started strong vs Kangas before breaking collarbone. He was understandably rusty for a couple of games coming back from his illness. Hes had the most interrupted season you will ever see from any player for so many different reasons. We are much better when hes in the team and you're right, he is incredibly valuable.

80's Daryl Hannah. Though she was hot in kIll BIll.

That's too bad, would love to see her in a pair of footy shorts.

Good result, Adelaide will now have to go hard at the Eagles next week or go into the finals on a losing streak.

'We really have to beat the Pies or risk the likely scenario of missing the 8 on %.'

40-50 wont be anywhere near enough to have any safe % buffer over Essendon if we lost to the Pies. We would need to smash the Lions by 100+ to get some real space. If both Melbourne and Essendon win by 30 this week, and we lose by 12 points in Round 23 while Essendon win by 12, our % will be almost dead even with theirs. Since its more likely they will smash the Dockers round 23, we really have to beat the Pies or risk the likely scenario of missing the 8 on %. Having said that, the Bombers can easily lose to the Suns tomorrow.

We are playing Brisbane, we could have played Weid another week if we wanted. Hogan is ready.

Taylor, Rich, Bastinac are very average. Rockliff has never been an impact player, despite his big numbers. Beams is good when hes the cream on top of a great midfield. Zorko is having a great season but hes no star. They can hang against the bottom teams, but our midfield blows them off the park.

He is nowhere near as good as you think he is.

Matthew Lloyd has both Oliver and Hibberd in his rolling AA team on the Sunday Footy Show.

The Lions have a couple of snipers and they will test Jesses collarbone early.

It wasn't perfect but we still managed to kick 14 goals. In the three games Watts played in before being dropped we kicked 13, 10, 10.

That pick will be traded for Lever.

He was out of form, he got dropped. Didn't set the world alight at Casey Our forward line functioned fine without him. Whats the problem and how was he mismanaged?

He has been named... question is will he play? Three weeks removed from a broken collarbone.

Surely Hogan cant play after breaking his collarbone 3 weeks ago? How is this possible.... I know nothing about collarbones but it seems pretty incredible.

Delist - Spencer, Trengove, Kennedy, Hulett, White Upgrade - Maynard, Keilty

Would love Matera. Just about everything our coaching and development staff touches turns to gold and we might be able to get him for a bargain, like the Garlett trade. Imagine trying to remain motivated playing for the soul-less Suns all those years, and then to make things worse, Rocket Eade comes along.

Had forgotten all about that guy.... haven't seen him post in a while.... in fact it coincides with when Pedersen came into the side for Gawn and dominated or a couple of months. He was very lippy up until that point. Given his outright disdain for Pedders, I wonder if he stopped posting cos he was made to look like such a fool by his great form. Anyway, no loss, just a thought.

That would be amazing if Keilty debuted this week. Even with so much on the line its probably a good week to debut him as the Lions KP players are young and raw. Wouldnt surprise anyone though if he did come in, hes been in red hot form and Goody loves to surprise us. Perhaps he has moved ahead of Frost in the coaches eyes. T Mac is better up forward and this will release him to play there.

Would love to get Port. We play the Adelaide Oval very well and they are a bloody average side who have beaten up on the bottom 4 and beaten nobody in the top 8.
