Bump

[MrMahatma]

A crows win would be nice! Pies put on a big finish to the 3rd but Crows still have their beaks in front.

How good is Nick Daicos?

The Pies and the Dogs might have hit the jackpot last draft.

[DOG GOD]

The AFL will be happy with Carl, Coll, Rich, Melb and Geel making the finals for crowd wise.

[angelopetraglia]

Pies Last four games.

GWS 11 points

Suns 5 points

North 7 points

Crows 4 points

Before that run. A couple of weeks earlier.

Blues by 5 points.

Hawks by 4 points.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Woods by 5pts. Bummer.

[Grantysghost]

Rory Laird broke the tackles record with 20.

From memory it was 19 for ages, maybe even young Tom was one of the former record holders.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Go you Roo Boys Go!

Tom (2016) held it with Jude Bolton (2011) and Jack Ziebell (2016). There was a thread on it posted by Boots:

You've treated it as if it was a contracts related thread posted by Axe........

[jeemak]

Go you Roo Boys Go!

Does one dare to dream?

[merantau]

North to keep the throttle wide open and cause a huge upset - that's my wish.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Bloody tigers with 3 late goals to end the 3rd qtr...

[DOG GOD]

North will fold like they did against Collingwood. I’m thinking a 5 goal tigers win

[GVGjr]

6 goals to Zurhaar, cracking contest.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Great win for Bulldogs via NM.

[GVGjr]

North will fold like they did against Collingwood. I’m thinking a 5 goal tigers win

Richmond had the play but couldn't get it done. Close contest but not a great game.

[GVGjr]

Great win for North.

[jeemak]

How awesome Norf!!!!

Stars might be aligning...........

[HOSE B ROMERO]

you ripper roos!

[DOG GOD]

Imagine the venom ready to spew out of Hardwicks mouth. Sucked in

[azabob]

Goldstein brilliant tap work to set up the final goal. Crazy what an a grade ruckman can do.

[DOG GOD]

The kangas do have some good young players. I wonder what clarko could do for them.

[merantau]

I love North Melbourne. Zurhaaarrrr!

[angelopetraglia]

Norf!!!!!!!!!!

[Grantysghost]

Tigers have Freo (Marvel?), Lions (MCG), Port (AO) next 3

[kruder]

I see it but don't believe it, Hayes getting a game for Carlton.

[Scraggers]

Thanks Norf :p

[DOG GOD]

Will Hayes playing for Carlton starting 22. A few mistakes already

[Happy Days]

Eagerly awaiting hearing about how stupid the Bulldogs are for letting such a talent like Will Hayes go and everything that is says about Luke Beverdige’s mental fitness for the coaching job.

[Flamethrower]

What is it with Carlton signing our former whipping boys...Jones, Young and now Hayes.

[GVGjr]

Eagerly awaiting hearing about how stupid the Bulldogs are for letting such a talent like Will Hayes go and everything that is says about Luke Beverdige’s mental fitness for the coaching job.

Do you think Hayes still had some upside or was he as good as it gets with his time with us?
We let him go once and then added him back in didn't we?
He was a depth player for us.

[Happy Days]

One positive about Hayes playing for someone else is now we can finally make fun of how messed up his hairline is.

[Happy Days]

I think he’s a really limited player and I was annoyed we ever considered him in the first place. I’m more being tongue in cheek about the general response to reading defensive general Lewis Young.

[GVGjr]

The difference is that Young is still capable of playing better football whereas Hayes was as you say limited.
We may not like it but Young is performing OK at Carlton.

[1eyedog]

Geelong are arse-clowns can cartographers please just erase that place off the map?

[kruder]

Stengle has to be the most improved player in the AFL this year has been incredible.

[bornadog]

Stengle has to be the most improved player in the AFL this year has been incredible.

Unfortunately we are not a club to take a risk. Geelong did and he is playing so well.

[GVGjr]

I think there a number of really improved players but he has to be right up there doesn't he?

[GVGjr]

Some times you get burned and on occasions you strike it rich. Cats do it pretty well and they often draft players from outside of the elite pathway.

[GVGjr]

Logues doing a reasonable job on Franklin but Freo do look to be a bit stronger all over the ground.

[GVGjr]

Sydney are an unreal side. Some of those younger guys have terrific skills.

[azabob]

They do but Sydney are not going away.

[kruder]

I hate the Cats, but they are a bloody good football club. Finally they are going more direct they are much better to watch this year as hard as it is to say.

[azabob]

Sydney are an unreal side. Some of those younger guys have terrific skills.

Heywood and Gulidon two great goals

Swans by 11 points

[Grantysghost]

Looks like there's only one spot up for grabs.

That top 7 looks pretty set.

Earl days

[Grantysghost]

Earl days

Carlton do have a tough draw.

[jeemak]

I called it earlier in the year, Carlton's form is going to result in one of the biggest gaslighting of fans ever seen.

They may only win one more game for the season.

I didn't see tonight's game however, only scoring 55 points against the best in the comp right now is a very bad sign.

[EasternWest]

I feel like this is a portentous statement.

He spends most of his time at Eddie Betts's house. Wouldn't be surprise that was part of the deal.

[Grantysghost]

Lever may have injured his shoulder early in game v Port.
Landed heavily, has gone into rooms.

That's a shame.

Edit : Nope he's back with some tape.

[The Underdog]

Do we need *shudders*, Essendon to win?

[Bulldog4life]

Do we need *shudders*, Essendon to win?

Yes please

[Happy Days]

Looks like Peter Wright is giving Mr Complete Defensive Performance a bit of a touch up.

[The Underdog]

Yes please

Them and Melbourne, *!*!*!*! me. Are finals that important?

[GVGjr]

Do we need *shudders*, Essendon to win?

Don't go there, there is no coming back from it. :)

[Bulldog4life]

Them and Melbourne, *!*!*!*! me. Are finals that important?

Yes yes and yes. Agree on your first point too.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Go bombers and dees. Pragmatism.

[Sedat]

1. Bombers stink up for first half of season
2. Win junktime matches in back half of season
3. Declared the winner of trade week
4. Everybody flying on the track
5. Hot favourites to make finals

Repeat steps 1-5

[bornadog]

1.Bombers stink it up for first half of season
2. Win junktime matches in the back half of season
3. Declared the winner of trade week every year.
4. Everybody flying on the track.
5. Hot favourites to make finals.
Repeat steps 1-5

Perfect, that is how I like to see them

Was thinking this exact same thing, or a variant of it anyway.

Do just enough not to enact meaningful change.

You touched on it, but:

Preseason: Dodoro is a genius.
Midseason: When do we start looking at replacing Dodoro?
Late season: Dodoro? Get me Anton Chigurh's number.

I got struck by de ja vu reading that grear post
Like last season
And the season before... same old same old bummers

They just cannot do anything wrong

[Bulldog4life]

Collingwood are on a hot streak of eight straight wins, including by the following margins: five points against Adelaide, seven points against North, five points against the Suns, four points against Hawthorn, four points against Carlton. Lucky or not?

[comrade]

Yep, very lucky. On a different time line they lose all of them and are bottom 4 material. Will be mince meat in the finals.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Yep, well done to them considering where they looked like they were heading post Buckley but these are the types of swings where they overachieve one year and finish bottom 5 the next when results don't go their way.

They do have some good young kids though.

Nick Daicos will probably be AA next year. Ridiculous he wasn’t bid on at 1 last year, clearly the best player in the pool and Collingwood were never not matching a bid.

Found it very strange he was allowed to slide like that. Especially when Darcy was injured. Guess he is a tall though and you don't want to be the recruiter who passed Franklin for Tambling.
