  1. Based on their draw and current form I think Freo can miss the 8. Dees MCG L Lions OPTUS L Hawks OPTUS 50/50 BYE Blues MARVEL L Port OPTUS W Saints MARVEL L Swans OPTUS 50/50 Tigers MCG L Dees OPTUS L Dogs MARVEL L Eagles OPTUS W GWS MANUKA 50/50
  2. Only 2 weeks ago people were calling for Fritsch to be dropped / rested, now it’s Brown’s turn….
  3. Any official word on the extent of Langdon’s injury?
  4. Tigers have second best PF. My post may have been misleading as I only posted the top 4.
  5. We now have the best PA (points against) and the third best PF (points for). MFC 580 PA 938 PF LIONS 745 PA 1065 PF BLUES 813 PA 932 PF FREO 608 PA 780 PF
  6. Gardiner is a liability in defence.
  7. So all those critical of Melbourne over the last 2 weeks, now the Lions have lost have a look at Freo under the pump to the Pies.
  8. Although this has cost me my multis, the Dees are now 2 games clear on top.
  9. About 5 minutes ago a Brisbane fwd punched the ball rather than attempt to mark when he was 15 metres out directly in front. Madness
  10. Over the years when we were struggling as a team, Queens Birthday was our GF. On top of being reigning premiers we are on an unbeaten run, for bottom teams we are their biggest game of the year bar derbys / traditional rivals and for top 8 teams we are the benchmark.
  11. Rd 23 Lions @ the Gabba if there has to be one.
  12. I’m in a bet with mates group, before yesterdays game we were $8 to break the record for most consecutive wins. It’s very doable. North @ Marvel Freo @ G Swans @ G Pies & G Bye Lions @ G Crows @ AAMI Cats @ GMHBA Port @ Darwin
  13. Bookmark this post as fiction.
  14. So which WA team is chasing Logan McDonald?
  15. Clearly Tom Browne hasn’t read out contracts thread….
  16. I’d use the word potential when describing Weideman, Jackson is past that for me. The only question in terms of money is how good can he get.
  17. What are we saying the money is?
  18. A lot of talk tonight and over recent weeks about if we play like we did today / tonight against the Lions or in the finals we’ll be in trouble. For the me the closest we’ve come to playing four qtrs was against the Hawks, yet even then we seemed to cruise for parts of the game, during the last qtr we didn’t kick a goal while the Hawks kicked 3.4. We only won by 10 points but at no point did I feel that we would lose. We seem to be able to put together 1-2 qtrs of per game and that’s enough to win the game. Yet some supporters are frustrated that we’re not going on to win by a greater margin. A few games that come to mind. Rd .1 Bulldogs, the grand final rematch. Down by 9 at 1/2 time we kicked 4.4 in the 3rd to 0.2, then 4.5 to 3.0 in last. We won by 26 with the 3rd qtr being the difference. Rd .5 GWS, seen by many including myself as a potential danger game. 4.0 to 0.5 in the first then 10.2 to 2.2 in the 3rd. The game was well and truly over. Rd .8 Saints, another great challenge from an aspiring top 4 team. We were 9 goals to 1 up midway through the 2nd, the Saints refused to die and in the second half we just seemed to cruise along doing just enough kicking 5.6 to 5.3, the damage was already done. Rd .9 WCE, seen by some as a potential 100 point thrashing we dominated two qtrs being the first and the last, kicking 13.9 which accounted for the majority of the margin. Yes Brisbane are a good side but they have a recent history of beating up on weaker sides all year then stumbling when it counts. Continual comparisons of what Brisbane beat the Eagles or North by doesn’t bother me. I think our best is 6-8 goals better than anyone else. The unbeaten streak aside, every week we have a new contender wanting to take down the reigning premiers. It would be hard to be up every week, but from what we’ve seen we can put teams away in a very short space of time. What does concern me though is our entries inside 50 at times, but when I went back and looked at the qtrs we’ve dominated I’d love to know the stats on how many of those goals were from marks inside 50 and how many from creating opportunities in general play
  19. Fritsch is pure class.
  20. Next 5 North @ Marvel Freo @ MCG Swans @ MCG Pies @ MCG BYE Lions @ MCG
  21. This is the, thing, if we were playing the Lions our mindset would be different. It shouldn’t be, but it is.
  22. The Eagles are having a crack, it’s not like they’re flooding, we’re playing poorly.
  23. In other news I got my hair cut on Friday.
  24. So that’s not descent from McGovern?
  25. Poor footy. Its as if when there’s no challenge we play like this.
