Bump

[Mofra]

Going early - if Richmond beat Brisbane, the top 8 is set this year

Tend to agree, was just looking at the ladder and really only GWS strike me as a team currently outside the 8 who can get it. I suspect they'll beat WCE this week in Sydney and at worst stay within a game of the top 8, but history suggests there's never really more than 1 change to the top 8 in the second half of the season.

[merantau]

Lions had all the answers last night and should have won by more. Matheson spiced things up a bit and got in their faces - Richmond haven had that done to them for a while and looked nonplussed.

Nice to see someone give it back to the Tigers, the entire side including the coach have become insufferable.

[Grantysghost]

The Lions look very good have to say.

Really want to stay in the top 2 to avoid them in a qualifying final away. (extreme crystal balling).

[angelopetraglia]

Tigers not done by any measure yet ... but 5-5 means that they can't lose too many more games and make the top four.

[bornadog]

They can't give the excuse of injury because Lions mentioned they had 5 to 6 out that were best 22 as well.

I agree on the insufferable comment, they have become arrogant smart arses. I hope we aren't like that when we win the next three premierships :D

Absolutely, and I particularly can’t stomach to complete arrogance of Hardwick. Can’t stand him.
However, I think from round 7, Richmond and Melbourne had the easiest draws of all clubs to come.

So far since round 7 they are 1-2, with the win last week being the ‘pulled from their backside‘ GWS win.

Their run home features:
WC in Perth
Lions again (at the G)
Geelong
Freo in Perth
GWS in Sydney

All five of these games are games that (on form right now) I would put them down for a loss.

Then there are some awkward games against teams they should beat in Essendon, Collingwood and the Saints. I can even see Adelaide next week being more of a problem than it should be.

I think they will limp to 12 wins and either finish 9th, or sneak in and destroy the poor team that finishes in 5th.

Yeah, we finish 5th and we play them at the G in the elimination lol

[The Adelaide Connection]

Yeah, we finish 5th and we play them at the G in the elimination lol

If anyone needs me I will be in the corner.
Shaking.
In the the foetal position.

Is that the same foetal position you may have been in when we flew to Perth to play a red hot Eagles in an elimination final?

Honestly I know they mentally beat us a few weeks back, but in the fullness of the season I expect to hold no fears of any team.

[bornadog]

Just got home, turned the TV on to Carlton/Hawks and Eddy screaming into the mike and sounding like a complete idiot.

Why do we have to put up with these fools

[bornadog]

Williams better in backline for Carlton than mid

[DOG GOD]

GC absolutely buttering their set shots against a very flat Geelong. How nice it would be for GC to pull off a fluke. King missed from 20 metres directly in front for Geel to go down and bang, bang in the 2nd.

With just a bit of luck with GC this might be a vastly closer game.
Lets hope they knock them off

[GVGjr]

Williams better in backline for Carlton than mid

Agreed, he's a very good attacking defender and just average as a midfielder

[DOG GOD]

Cats kicking away. Most likely the last 2 wins from avge kicking by the opposition.

[DOG GOD]

Both saints and GC have really pressured Geelong well, but their inaccuracy has dearly cost them.

[Grantysghost]

Salem a late out for Demons. Be an interesting game with Sloane and Walker both playing.

[bornadog]

Adelaide make some strange decisions with ball in hand, but are keeping up with Melbourne.

[DOG GOD]

Adelaide playing well, going through the corridor and moving the ball quickly.

[GVGjr]

Do we dare mutter " carn the Crows"

[EasternWest]

Do we dare mutter " carn the Crows"

I don't mind the Crows. The ghosts of Christmas past have been exorcised for me.

[Grantysghost]

2015?

[DOG GOD]

I’m worried Melb won’t lose 2 in a row haha

[DOG GOD]

I was hoping their first loss would be against us, when they certainly are due.

[bulldogtragic]

Alright, Carn the crows.

[bulldogtragic]

Alright, Carn the crows.

Cmon go you good thing.

[bulldogtragic]

Amazing.

[chef]

What a *!*!*!*!ing game. Amazing.

[Dry Rot]

Did the Demons play poorly or did the Crows play out of their skins?

[G-Mo77]

Did the Demons play poorly or did the Crows play out of their skins?

Crows played well mate. Just one of those games when a young team got a sniff and stole one. It was a great game to watch.

[DOG GOD]

What a game. The crowd got them over the line. Was that a deliberate out of bounds ? I thought so.

[bornadog]

Looking at the replay agree, should have been delibrate

[comrade]

Jeremy Finlayson's hairline is fooling nobody.

Except maybe Paddy Ryder

[Happy Days]

I know you shouldn’t really judge the real person for their on-field play but there’s no way he’s not a jerk.

[comrade]

I know you shouldn’t really judge the real person for their on-field play but there’s no way he’s not a jerk.

That's undeniable.

[Testekill]

I put this down the Eagles playing poorly more than the Giants playing well

[DOG GOD]

Geez WC miss McGovern when he’s not there.

[comrade]

Good result all round with GWS winning. Keeps Richmond out of the 8 and makes it harder for WC to get near a home final.

[Testekill]

Port aren't doing too well today either, glad that we got to play them in Adelaide so that we got a chance to see where we're at instead of how mentally fragile they are away from Adelaide.

[merantau]

A Collingwood win would be a good way to finish the round.

[jeemak]

A Collingwood win would be a good way to finish the round.

I'd usually advise you to wash your mouth out with that sort of talk, but I'll allow it this week!

[jeemak]

Well that was a horrible game but Port will be happy to have clawed their way back for the win.

[DOG GOD]

Damn was hoping for a Coll win. Need those top 6 teams to lose a few they shouldn’t, to make our job a little easier.

[macca]

Collingwood lose by a point, media circus going to start questioning Buck's coaching career now.

I am really enjoying watching Treloar play.

Even if his injured, Collingwood are still paying for it.
