Bump

[Bulldog Joe]

It is a huge round with almost every game having the potential to influence finals position

Fri, Aug 16 Melbour vs Sydney Swans MCG Seven & Fox 7:50pm
Proves the definition of almost because this one only has you wanting to watch the cricket

Sat, Aug 17 Carlton vs St Kilda MCG Fox 1:45pm
St Kilda still have a faint mathematical chance that will be extinguished by other results

Sat, Aug 17 Brisbane Lions vs Geelong Cats The Gabba Fox 2:10pm
Top of the table and chance to qualify for a home final GO LIONS!!

Sat, Aug 17 Adelaide Crows vs Collingwood Adelaide Oval Fox 4:35pm Adelaide need a win to stay in the hunt but Collingwood are chasing top 4. GO PIES (vomit)

Sat, Aug 17 North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide Marvel Stadium Seven & Fox 7:25pm
Port need a win to guarantee finals. Go NORFFF (double vomit)

Sat, Aug 17 Fremantle vs Essendon Optus Stadium Fox 8:10pm
Fremantle still the mathematical chance and Essendon clinging by non-existent fingernail. Go the Purpe Army

Sun, Aug 18 Richmond vs West Coast Eagles MCG Fox 1:10pm
Another top4 clash with the loser a chance to miss the double chance and West Coast wanting to lock in home finals by finishing top 2.

Sun, Aug 18 GWS Giants vs Western Bulldogs Sydney Showground Stadium Seven & Fox 3:20pm
Giants probably out of top 4 race but won't want Doggies getting in. Come on we can do it.

Sun, Aug 18 Hawthorn vs Gold Coast Suns Marvel Stadium Fox 4:40pm
Roughy's farewell and Hawks still a chance at the 8. Percentage boost likely

[Rocket Science]

How good is Melbourne being a pathetic laughing stock?

The fix is so sweet I don't what I'll do if they miraculously come good next year.

[bulldogtragic]

After aggressively trading in to finish 17th. Surely a couple now jump ship to other clubs.

Why the hell did I tip these idiots

[Hotdog60]

Why the hell did I tip these idiots

I didn't :D

In all honesty it was a flip of the coin.

[westdog54]

After aggressively trading in to finish 17th. Surely a couple now jump ship to other clubs.

Their 5 wins have come against GC, Sydney when they were really struggling, Freo, Hawthorn and Carlton, and they fell over the line in three of those.

They're in massive trouble.

For sure. You'd think some good players are thinking that club isn't turning things around soon, despite all the big dollar players they've brought in. And Melbourne need good draft picks, they can't trade out of this. Interesting to see if some better players get traded.

[Remi Moses]

What an appalling team Melbourne are
They’ve piped up with excuses all year , but their effort was just atrocious.
I’m not falling into they’ll automatically improve next year narrative either

Tough watching old glass feet Adams play really well

Great move by Jake Lever

[jeemak]

Watching the Lions vs Cats and actually would like to get each of these teams on the MCG should we make it. If we could get our defence right and not let either team chip it around we could seriously open them up with hands and quick use through the flanks and corridor.

Our biggest exposure would be Cameron (who's been excellent today - basically the Lion's only offencive threat) out the back, and the caveat would be needing to restrain ourselves from defending super high.

[jeemak]

Excellent finish at the GABBA. Great to see Geelong lose and good to see the Lions on top after a really classy rebuild.

[Rocket Science]

Hahaaaa enjoy the ride home Catters.

[1eyedog]

Maynard's a gun I want him.

[jeemak]

Collingwood seem to holding up their end of the bargain to half time.

[Bulldog4life]

Collingwood seem to holding up their end of the bargain to half time.

Yep 17 points up.

[Flamethrower]

Umpires keeping Adelaide in it - every time Pies kick one, Crows get a phantom free in front of goal. Bucks looks like he is ready to kill someone.

[Bulldog4life]

Collingwood 6 goals up

[1eyedog]

Adelaide you gotta hate them for 97 and 15 in particular. But thank you for being so shit, we really appreciate it. .

[bulldogtragic]

Pies working into form to smash Essendon next week.

[Rocket Science]

If the Pies go on with this and the Crows just accept their fate they'll make a handy dint in Adelaide's % too.

Giddy up.

[Sedat]

Cor Blimey

[The Underdog]

The Crows have no interest in the season lasting past next week. They’ve clearly had enough.

[bulldogtragic]

The Crows have no interest in the season lasting past next week. They’ve clearly had enough.

Ballarat. 13 degrees, dry conditions. Sounds good.

[jeemak]

Crikey! I had to focus on a couple of work emails for half an hour or so and switched off the game only to turn it on to see things going beautifully!

[The Underdog]

Ballarat. 13 degrees, dry conditions. Sounds good.

They look like they have no desire for anything tough right now.
Hopefully Freo can really honour Sandi and Ballas with a big win tonight too.

[jeemak]

Jesus. Adelaide allowed Elliot to run around to improve the angle two times in a row without any pressure at all, from the same spot on the ground under the same circumstances.

Once is bad enough, two is inexcusable and just shows how cooked they are mentally at the moment.

[Rocket Science]

Hard to see either Pyke nor that spud Walker holding their roles going into next year, surely.

[Bulldog4life]

Elliot still unsigned too.

[jeemak]

Elliot still unsigned too.

He'd be a fantastic addition to our list, albeit a bit of a bratish one.

[jeemak]

Adelaide were hapless in the second half, it could have blown out even further. Well done Pies, well done indeed.

[Sedat]

Adelaide are now +49 in for and against and we are +41. In percentage terms it is only 0.8%.

Fantastic result tonight.

[Sedat]

Norf are 100% switched on in the first 10 minutes. Going to be a difficult night for Port.

[jeemak]

Just like that Port have dropped 2%. Really want to see them have a wretched day forward of centre, and as long as North keep grinding away the percentage piece will work in our favour.

[Bulldog4life]

I haven't felt this good about Norf for so long.....like never. Go Norf.

[1eyedog]

Great root

[bulldogtragic]

Ben Brown 9.0

That's insane. Larkey with 5.0 isn't far behind either.

[bulldogtragic]

Ben Brown 10.0

Just amazing.

[jeemak]

Quality rooting fodder from the Norferners. Hats off to Brown, there's nothing I like about him, but he can play a bit.

[jeemak]

Jesus Christ I just heard a commentator say that Stringer is almost all Australian this year. The hype around him surely wasn't that ridiculous when he was with us was it, or was it worse? He averages 12 touches a game FFS.

[angelopetraglia]

Cmon Freo. Lift!!!!

[Eastdog]

Cmon Freo. Lift!!!!

If they can win and we win tomorrow will be in 7th.

[jeemak]

Freo are a bunch of bedshitters.

[comrade]

Freo makes our forward entries look like Hawthorn 2013-15.

[jeemak]

It has to be the jumpers, why did they wear those horrible shit culture historic cluster *!*!*!*! jumpers?

[HOSE B ROMERO]

2 emphatic results out of the 3 matches of interest. A pretty good result. We've just got to do the business tomorrow.

[bulldogtragic]

2 emphatic results out of the 3 matches of interest. A pretty good result. We've just got to do the business tomorrow.

Yep. We have to see the clear run we have now. Dons have locked 7th, but Port & Crows getting smashed have opened up a clear run to finals with two wins. Especially Port blowing it wins winning both and still missing isn't on the cards. There can't be much more clear incentive for our 22 tomorrow.

[hujsh]

Jesus Christ I just heard a commentator say that Stringer is almost all Australian this year. The hype around him surely wasn't that ridiculous when he was with us was it, or was it worse? He averages 12 touches a game FFS.

I think he has less goals than Lloyd too. Neither are AA

[jeemak]

Hamling has been both good and putrid tonight.

[bulldogtragic]

Checked scores, 6.12, get *!*!*!*!ed Freo.

[angelopetraglia]

How did we lose to Freo?

[Rocket Science]

Name a better argument for the abolition of the ruck position from the game than Zac Clarke vs Sandilands in his final game.

I'll wait.

[angelopetraglia]

Fremantle’s skill tonight has been absolutely putrid.

[bornadog]

Jesus Christ I just heard a commentator say that Stringer is almost all Australian this year. The hype around him surely wasn't that ridiculous when he was with us was it, or was it worse? He averages 12 touches a game FFS.

Who the F said that. What a bloody moron.

[Flamethrower]

How did we lose to Freo?

How did we lose to Gold Coast?

Our round 21 team would beat our round 3 team by 100 points.

[Dancin' Douggy]

How completely and utterly pathetic are Fremantle.
It's really unforgivable.
You F&^&%%$$$%ing useless pack of c^%$#%^nts.

All you had to do was beat Essendon, a mincing, preening pack of front runners who were just FLOGGED by 100 points ..........
AT HOME!!!!!........................IN PERTH!!!! FFS.

You have no heart, no spine, no soul, no hope. What the f^^%$ck even are you???????

It's a tragedy that great players like Pavlich, Sandilands and Fyfe have had to waste their talents, working behind the Fremantle counter, churning out "Fremantle Fairy Floss", for some bug eyed goofball kids to walk away with. A very generous serve I must admit. All excited by the promise, the cloud of sugary ecstacy, the ritual of the stick gathering the sweet sticky threads...........It's a beautiful and beguiling story................ until they realise the first two bites are kind of sweet and crunchy........but after that it's just melting pink sugar..........

Damn you to hell Fremantle you bastards you

[MrMahatma]

Freo makes our forward entries look like Hawthorn 2013-15.

This.

It was hard to root when you get so angry at who you should be going to root for.

[Hotdog60]

Well one big root left for today and that's a self root.
Go Doggies

[azabob]

How did we lose to Gold Coast?

Our round 21 team would beat our round 3 team by 100 points.

Same way we lost to Carlton in round 4.

[Twodogs]

Jesus Christ I just heard a commentator say that Stringer is almost all Australian this year. The hype around him surely wasn't that ridiculous when he was with us was it, or was it worse? He averages 12 touches a game FFS.

In what AA team? The 'big fat, roly poly' AA team?


Name a better argument for the abolition of the ruck position from the game than Zac Clarke vs Sandilands in his final game.

I'll wait.

Its in the, umm, the, errr, the thing. it's over there, on the top of the whatsis name.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Hmm if things don't quite go to plan today, Hawthorn will be 8th tonight.... i can't summon the will to barrack for the Suns. And i realise that the hawks have got west coast next week. But i still can't stomach them anywhere near that final 8.

[Bulldog4life]

Jesus Christ I just heard a commentator say that Stringer is almost all Australian this year. The hype around him surely wasn't that ridiculous when he was with us was it, or was it worse? He averages 12 touches a game FFS.

I heard that too. It was stupid David King.

[Rocket Science]

King clearly has a hundy riding on Jakey earning an AA gig because he presumably isn't swayed by someone cutting it up against the Suns, surely.
