It should be a good game tonight. Looking forward to watching it.

Same here. Two highly rated teams so it should be a good game.

[Grantysghost]

Hipwood and Daniher need to be at least breaking even v Lever and May for the Lions to have a chance.

Dunks might have a big job on one of the Demon gun mids too.

Yes. I feel like Cameron has to have a massive game for Brisbane to win.

[chef]

I think Melbournes mids will be the difference. Clarry to run riot.

[jeemak]

Reckon Melbourne are due to put in a down effort, though not sure Brisbane are capable of capitalising on it.

[josie]

Rayner looking like he is reaching his high draft spot. Looking very classy. Wasn?t there a rumour we were chasing him a few years ago?

[josie]

Meant justifying not reaching.

Sorry Jee, I meant to correct my post and inadvertently selected yours.

[bornadog]

Brisbane back in form

[Rocket Science]

Brisbane have finally found some fire in the belly but jeez, why couldn't we get this iteration of the Dees.

Because like the Dees lost their first game, we did too.

Nets.

[ledge]

I would take Schache over Ben brown any day.

[whythelongface]

That Kai Lohman kid looks decent

[angelopetraglia]

Three goals in three quarters. I didn?t see that coming. They have been hitting the scoreboard a lot better this season.

[Rocket Science]

See in my mind this is the real Melbourne and it shits me we couldn't remind them of it.

[azabob]

That Kai Lohman kid looks decent

Bulldogtragic target Lohman as part of the Dunkley deal but couldn't get it done.

[1eyedog]

Good team showing up the Dee's love to see it. Wish it was us.

[bulldogtragic]

Shame too.

[GVGjr]

That Kai Lohman kid looks decent

For supercoach followers if Lohmann scores 85 tonight (he's on 78) then his breakeven for the next round is -78 so some cash to be made.

I took care of my side of the bargain, BT really let us down.

[hujsh]

Always good to see Melbourne lose. Only problem is it means Brisbane won but ah well.

Why is Oliver playing ? Clearly injured.

Could not use hamstring awareness as the excuse?

Boy we really do analyse the game to death.

Lets do a deep dive on why GG made this comment. After the break I'll be back with graphs - both pie and bar.

Then we can do a meta analysis on the overall effectiveness of visual graphing methodologies and how ir relates to Jordan Sweet.

Stupid Carlton going to win again.

[GVGjr]

Rankine has been impressive today. Just at another level.

[GVGjr]

Stupid Carlton going to win again.

Nail biter to say the least now

[whythelongface]

Stupid Carlton going to win again.

Are you sure?

[azabob]

Stupid Carlton going to win again.

Best jinx ever!!

[azabob]

How good was that last five minutes

[merantau]

1997 is forgiven. I never thought I'd say this but - I LOVE ADELAIDE. How good to see a massive Carlton crowd suffer in their jocks.

[EasternWest]

Ben Keays needs to be charged with crimes against hairmanity. That is obnoxious.

[azabob]

Nail biter to say the least now

Fitting for Sam Berry to kick the winner, he certainly sparked them in the final ten or so minutes.

[lemmon]

This Port/Freo game is virtually unwatchable with the number of free kicks being paid.

Dockers lose another game they should’ve won.

[GVGjr]

Best jinx ever!!

Can you start talking up the Saints next week? :)

[jeemak]

So how amazing are Carlton and their strategies and willingness to win now after giving away a lead and letting three get kicked with less than ten to go to lose the game?

There's too much emphasis on coaching and strategies, when in reality, it's mostly a ridiculously complex mess of 44 players going up against each other on a huge oval playing surface. A player one week will rise to the occasion, the next he won't, and a few instances of that happening makes the difference.

But I'm sure they trained it.

[jeemak]

He's already said we're no chance of matching them tactically because Ross is a genius.

[whythelongface]

Did anyone watch the GWS v Saints game. Checked the score at 3/4 time and the Giants were up by around 30. I thought yes an easy win to the Giants and then I checked 20 mins later with 1 min to go it was a 1 point game. What happened ? Did the Giants just stop in their tracks or did the Saints play a free flowing attacking brand of footy?(not something normally associated with a Ross Lyon coached side).

[azabob]

And here I thought you weren’t paying attention.

You laugh but they've been practising Owies missing the sealer all week

[G-Mo77]

Wow! I honestly thought Richmond might be a surprise team this year. Losing to West Coast? Who does that?

[Hotdog60]

I picked Wet toast :)

[Grantysghost]

Reid is a star.

Norf really messed up losing the number 1 pick.

Probably academic, he will be at the Cats soon enough when Paddy D retires.

[ledge]

The score reviews every goal now , just get rid of the goal umpires it’s ridiculous.

[ledge]

Reid and Ginbey are a scary prospect.
I see light at the end of the tunnel for them

[mighty_west]

Harley Reid probably gets the rising star nod this week with 27 possies, 7 clearances and a goal.

[Sedat]

North winning the final round match last year and missing out on Harley Reid will go down in infamy

[chef]

Nice to see Harley killing it, lovely kid and lovely family.

Who looks silly now? ;)

No need to self-narc.
