St Kilda vs North Melbourne
Melbourne vs Geelong
West Coast vs Essendon

Brisbane vs Gold Coast Suns

[GVGjr]

The Melbourne vs Geelong game should be a beauty

Also
Collingwood will be without premiership midfielders Jordan De Goey and Tom Mitchell when it faces Carlton in Friday night’s blockbuster clash.

The Magpies will need to dramatically overhaul their centre bounce mix against their arch rivals after the injured duo were ruled out by coach Craig McRae on Wednesday.

McRae said De Goey’s prospects of overcoming his groin issue before round 9 were unclear as the Magpies “deloaded” his training this week.

De Goey and Mitchell, who is battling a plantar fasciitis flare-up in his foot, were both absent from training on Wednesday.

Quite a few good interesting games actually, Crows v Port, crazy to think Port will be playing Rozee with a hammy strain, wonder if he plays if Port had the Hawks, North or West Coast this week.

Carlton v Collingwood should also be a decent game, let's see if Carlton are the real deal and no doubt a huge crowd.

Swans and Giants are both up & running so again, should be a beauty although i do think GWS are the benchmark and my early tip for the flag, for the first time in their existence they're actually playing as a team and not a team of knobhead individuals, think their coach is a ripper.

Saints and Norf blah!!!!

Dees and Cats also should be a good one and again like Carlton, let's see if the Cats are the real deal.

A bit to like also with the West Coast Bombers game, wouldn't have said that a month ago but West Coast look re-energized with Harley lighting things up and Jake Waterman playing like Fevola and looking like the G-Train. they're actually becoming watchable again, Bombers too have looked like they've improved on last season.

Tigers v Freo another blah.....

Geez, would LOVE the Suns to smash the Lions, the Suns have so many great kids so when it clicks, it'll be scary, living up here in Brissy don't mind the Suns but really cannot stand Brissy Lions, they're supporters are similar to Swans supporters who think they know everything, but jump off so fast when the team dips.

[bornadog]

Will be a massive crowd at the Friday.
Melbourne v Geelong most interesting

[mighty_west]

Great to see Lachie Sullivan making his debut this week for the Pies, you'd hope he gets a full game and not named sub, hope he goes well.

[bornadog]

Adelaide good start 5 straight to 1.1

[lemmon]

Adelaide's speed is pretty fun to watch. Rankine putting the ball inside 50 is deadly

[ledge]

That Himmelburg is the softest footballer I have seen in years.
I have no idea how he is on a list.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Is the afel still concerned about scoring?

[Stevo]

The family really enjoyed the game last night. We thought Adelaide were up for the challenge.
Soligo is a terrier and Izak and Tex make their forward line very competitive.

[Grantysghost]

Sullivan debut as sub is harsh

Blues look the real deal

[bornadog]

Sullivan debut as sub is harsh

One thing Bevo never does. to me it is wrong

[bornadog]

Lachie one kick one goal

[bulldogtragic]

Sullivan debut as sub is harsh

Blues look the real deal

Well he’s on 1/2 way in the second and just kicked a goal. He’s happy enough.

[Grantysghost]

Well he’s on 1/2 way in the second and just kicked a goal. He’s happy enough.
So awesome

[Axe Man]

Nice bit of synergy Young fumble leads to a Sullivan goal

[josie]

Onya Lachie!! Cheering for him & Lippy.

[EasternWest]

It's so awesome that Sullivan kicked a goal, now we can have a few years of lamenting how we ever let him go.

[bornadog]

all of a sudden 2 pts in it.

[Axe Man]

Young having a poor couple of minutes

[Grantysghost]

Geez that Cox glove looked sticky

[Grantysghost]

It's so awesome that Sullivan kicked a goal, now we can have a few years of lamenting how we ever let him go.

I blame Jeemak

[josie]

Still think Sullivan would have been a much better pick than McComb. So yeah EW, let?s start the lament.

Seriously though good luck and I hope he makes it.

[jeemak]

Lipinski can finish. He's not quick but he's a good user.

[Grantysghost]

Lipinski can finish. He's not quick but he's a good user.
Good player, perfect for the half forward/mid role.

Look what you started, Josie.

[G-Mo77]

The stench of McComb probably scared them away still, they picked Bramble so I'd be happier if Sullivan was in that spot.

[Grantysghost]

Look what you started, Josie.
Ha, admit you love Patty and he's better looking then ssew.

[jeemak]

Ha, admit you love Patty and he's better looking then ssew.

Wash your mouth out pal.

He's a dreamboat, but he's no SSEW.

[josie]

Mwah ha ha EW.

I enjoy watching pies.

Let the four n? twenty magpies escape out of the pie. Even more so when two of our ex players (well one & our ex vfl captain) whom I liked a lot.

[bornadog]

Wash your mouth out pal.

He's a dreamboat, but he's no SSEW.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[EasternWest]

He's dreamy but he's no SSEW.

To paraphrase the great Cat from Red Dwarf. I would go with Pat, but I'd be thinking of Easton.

[Sedat]

My goodness Fantasia is an ordinary footballer. He last played a decent game 5 years ago.

[EasternWest]

Wait till you see what he does when we play him.

Oh man, Red Dwarf. Fish...bmmp. Fish...bmmp. Fish...bmmp. I love The Cat.

[Sedat]

Wait till you see what he does when we play him.
I've seen Marty McGrath, Luke Vogels, Nigel Fiegert and Ed Sansbury destroy us - Fantasia is Leigh Matthews compared to that motley crew.

[Grantysghost]

He's dreamy but he's no SSEW.

To paraphrase the great Cat from Red Dwarf. I would go with Pat, but I'd be thinking of Easton.

Having had an emphatic embrace in the corner of the function room, in the dark mind you, from EW on GF night i think im somewhat of an authority here.

I'm a Patty man every day, EW is old news!

[bornadog]

Worst decision ever, no way around the neck

[azabob]

Worst decision ever, no way around the neck

I thought it was paid for dangerous or a sling tackle.

Still looked lucky to get the free kick.

[angelopetraglia]

If they applied the Todd Curley rule, Pendles would get 10 weeks for that.

[jeemak]

Worst decision ever, no way around the neck

Stop derailing the thread. It's all about SSEW vs. SSPL now.

[jeemak]

Can you imagine Bevo got caught aggressively delivering a message to his player like Voss just did?

Caro and her ciggie lips would be all over it saying how she spoke to a source at the club who said it wasn't an issue, but it was still a bad look. Kano would be saying the pressure has clearly gotten to him and he's ruining careers by sternly delivering messages about how he wants to move the ball, and Ralphy would be saying the only person happy about this would be Scotty Draper like he did on Fox at half time when they announced Caleb Daniel was out of the team.

[jeemak]

Turning into a good game though.

[jeemak]

At the end of the quarter they paid advantage to a free kick off the ball, that I don't think either side could see after not playing to the whistle - which tells me neither side knew what the whistle was for.

Carlton then butchered the ball forward.

Not sure you should be paying advantage in that instance.

[angelopetraglia]

Lewis Young is not an AFL footballer.

[jeemak]

Is Pendlebury better than Bont?

[Grantysghost]

Is Pendlebury better than Bont?looking?

[jeemak]

That was amazing from Curnow. Imagine if Naughton and JUH could be that decisive and able to execute like that.

[jeemak]

looking?

Well we'll start a thread on that because it is important, but I meant overall career/ contribution.

[azabob]

Is Pendlebury better than Bont?

At football or basketball?

FWIW Bont has kicked more goals than Pendlebury.

[Grantysghost]

Is Nick Daicos related to Peter?

It's hard to tell from the coverage.

He's something else Nick, he had half a metre on Walsh and won the game.

[angelopetraglia]

Nick Daicos is a star. Incredible finish from that stoppage.

[azabob]

Nick Daicos goes alright. That is an insane goal.

[jeemak]

At football or basketball?

FWIW Bont has kicked more goals than Pendlebury.

I didn't even know Pendlebury was proficient at basketball.

Not just focusing on goals, however, more so just career output and impact on respective sides over their careers.

[jeemak]

Nick Daicos goes alright. That is an insane goal.

I don't understand what type of pervert goes the snap on that rather than a drop punt, but that guy is good enough to do it.

[bornadog]

So glad to see Carlton lose

[jeemak]

So glad to see Carlton lose

They're the team I'd follow if we ever went out of the competition due to family connections, but I love watching them lose.

[macca]

54 vs 86 tackles in favour of collingwood.

Incredible Pies laid 32 more tackles! They make them stick .

[EasternWest]

Lewis Young is not an AFL footballer.

No you've got it wrong AP we should never have traded him and imagine how much better we'd be with him.

[Eastdog]

Great game. My brother will be a happy Magpie tonight.

If the Saints can play a home game at the G then there is no reason why we can’t play a home game there against a big VIC club.

[azabob]

I didn't even know Pendlebury was proficient at basketball.

Not just focusing on goals, however, more so just career output and impact on respective sides over their careers.

Honestly it is not a clear cut answer. Before Pendlebury kicked the goal what did you think?

Pendlebury has been a top liner up until this year for his entire career.

I doubt we can call it till Bont retires.

[azabob]

Has Lipinski forward craft improved dramatically since getting to Collingwood?

The pies pressure is im,ense. They seem to know where the ball falls especially from kick into the forward line.

[jeemak]

Pendlebury has been a top liner up until this year for his entire career.

I doubt we can call it till Bont retires.

Pendlebury's position in the game and as a Collingwood legend has always been something I've been curious about. You have Buckley and Peter Daicos as more modern legends, a lot of people put him in that company. From a competition perspective he's always been there but never been the absolute best amongst his peers, which is something you might argue is similar to Bont.

As modern legends we have Grant, West, Johnson and Hawkins, for Bont to compare to and I don't necessarily rate him better than maybe two or three of those depending on how I'm feeling.

I've also always said I'd rather wait until Bont finishes his career to assess it, while others are more quickly willing to judge him today.

Interesting conversation.

[jeemak]

Has Lipinski forward craft improved dramatically since getting to Collingwood?

He was always smooth and able to finish. Unfortunately for him we played a congestion game in the forward half which is the antithesis of what he's experienced at Collingwood, so I think that's suited him.

With us he was pinned as an inside player, and we asked him to work on his speed so we could fit him into our half forward rolling up/ wing rotations.

Him moving to the Pies has been excellent for both him and their club, and while he's still close to their fringe he's awesome and clean depth who fits into the system they are playing.

[angelopetraglia]

Can Bont still have an influence on a game of football when he is 36?

Gee whiz, I hope he ages like Pendles. What an incredible player he is and how consistent has he been over almost 400 games.

[jeemak]

Gee whiz, I hope he ages like Pendles. What an incredible player he is and how consistent has he been over almost 400 games.

He's on the way to beasting up like Pendlebury has, body wise. He's a loping player and can learn to avoid the physical stuff over time, or spend time forward where he's more effective than Pendlebury is.

What I really want to see is Jacko spending time in the gym, slimming down and getting as close to as strong and Pendlebury now is. It's his only chance of surviving in the competition.

[merantau]

I've seen Marty McGrath, Luke Vogels, Nigel Fiegert and Ed Sansbury destroy us - Fantasia is Leigh Matthews compared to that motley crew.

Wow, Sedat, that's some memory you have for spuds who transformed into orchids when they made their, sometimes single, appearance against us. Was Fiegert the bloke from Freo who booted 5 against us at Princes Park and then disappeared into a black hole shortly after?

Was Vogels that Sydney player who played a brilliant game to help sink us and was then never heard of again?

[merantau]

"I didn't even know Pendlebury was proficient at basketball." (Jeemak)

I heard that rumour too, from the tuck shop lady at my grandson's primary school. Must have been about 10 years ago. Do you think it's true?

[Sedat]

Was Fiegert the bloke from Freo who booted 5 against us at Princes Park and then disappeared into a black hole shortly after?
Yes (from memory it was only 3 goals but they were all critical). Was Port's first year in the comp and he ran riot late in the game after we got out to a 7 goal lead early. I don't think he kicked another goal before or after this game.


Was Vogels that Sydney player who played a brilliant game to help sink us and was then never heard of again?
And yes. I'm still convinced we drafted Ed Barlow in the mistaken belief that we thought he was Luke Vogels.

[jeemak]

"I didn't even know Pendlebury was proficient at basketball." (Jeemak)

Nobody ever mentions it, so I wouldn't know.

Thanks for the belly laugh. It did me well.

[JanLorMill]

Lewis Young is not an AFL footballer.
We have Keath and Gardner on our list and he is better than both.

[bornadog]

We have Keath and Gardner on our list and he is better than both.

Keath at his peak was miles ahead of Young

[JanLorMill]

Keath at his peak was miles ahead of Young
5 years ago. Young will play for another 5.

[angelopetraglia]

5 years ago. Young will play for another 5.

In the VFL.

[The bulldog tragician]

I envy everything about Collingwood at the moment.

[JanLorMill]

In the VFL.
You mean where Keath and Gardner are right now? What’s with the fascination having to prove an ex player of ours that was poorly used by us is no good? Young would be in our backline right now.

[bornadog]

I envy everything about Collingwood at the moment.

They never give up

[EasternWest]

You mean where Keath and Gardner are right now? What’s with the fascination having to prove an ex player of ours that was poorly used by us is no good? Young would be in our backline right now.

Probably the same fascination others have with insisting they're good when they're not.

Young is a reasonable player, but he's flaky and weak and I don't miss him at all.

[mjp]

We have Keath and Gardner on our list and he is better than both.

I think you're probably right. Peak Keath (2021) was probs better than Young but Young is 'FINE' now.

Young is what he is. A hi-level BACKUP key tall back. If he's playing every week, that's probably not ideal. But if he is coming in as a backup then you know he is going to be able to hold the fort for a few weeks...

I really wish we could move on from him as supporters - we offered him a contract, he declined it, he's going OK at the Blues...good luck to him.

[The Underdog]

I envy everything about Collingwood at the moment.

Maynard’s hair? Elliot’s tatts?

[Rocket Science]

I envy everything about Collingwood at the moment.

I'm worried I've suddenly fallen madly in love with their coach.

[chef]

Sydney Derby should be a good game.

[bornadog]

Sydney Derby should be a good game.
Hopefully Sydney win

[Flamethrower]

Callum Brown from the Giants facing a very long suspension.

Second to the contest, could have tackled but chose to bump with a raised elbow - elbow hit chest but shoulder collected head. Tom McCartin knocked senseless and subbed out of the game with concussion.

If there's one family that doesn't need more head knocks....

[bornadog]

Green is such a grub, can't help himself with a love tap as he walks past the Swans player. Umpire saw it and gave the free. Totally unnecessary - rub the prick out for 10 weeks and lets see if he does it again. Sick of this prick, and sick of the media in love with him and giving excuses.

Rant over :D

I never made the argument that Young was good. Said he would playing 1st for us right now. Fact is he selected weekly in a side, that’s top 8.

[The bulldog tragician]

Maynard?s hair? Elliot?s tatts?

They seem genuinely united. I noticed all the little taps to guys in better position, the tackles that really stick, and of course the fact they believe they can win at all stages of the match. Their reaction when Sullivan got the goal?the jubilation on the bench, Daicos & Macrae jumping for joy that a journeyman got a goal.

Lippa has improved in ways that I wonder if he would have with us. They?ve managed to find him a role where he is thriving even with a midfield stacked with Daicoses, de Goey and a still highly effective Pendlebury.

Their system rarely breaks down even though it could be seen as taxing (one of our explanations for our own fluctuations in form), they extract the max from their veterans, fringe players buy in 100%. Their captain has dash, speaks beautifully and on GF Day he ran down the race beaming ear to ear with an ?Isn?t life and footy amazing? expression.

I am not mad on Jamie?s tatts or Maynard?s hairstyle but neither of them leave anything on the field and like everyone in this team they play with passion.

They are much much greater than the sum of their individual players, like we were in 2016.

Yep I am 100% jealous. I didn?t think they could win the flag again but I reckon they will give it an almighty shake and if they don?t get there it won?t be due to conditional effort.

Lippa hasn't really improved, a bit of natural progression. He always was the type of player who looks better than he is in a very good team.

He's OK.

[bornadog]

Ruck.
Get him over now

[bornadog]

Pretty pathetic game. Just switched over and 11 goals total for two teams at 3/4 time

Melbourne's defence is amazing.

And not a player near 200cm tall. How can this be?

Great game, two great defences.

How good is Windsor? Bloody Melbourne they recruit so well.

[EasternWest]

Bailey Fritsch is actually remarkably good. Far out.

[angelopetraglia]

Bayley Fritsch. Peter Daicos eat your heart out.

Went up a notch this last quarter

[josie]

Wish Cameron played a stinker against us instead of Dees.

[Grantysghost]

Demons are my flag favs IF they can keep Petty fit.

[angelopetraglia]

What an unbelievable last quarter and this season is shaping up to be a classic. Not a massive gap between the top half dozen teams.

[bornadog]

Swans sitting on top now - I wouldn't have predicted that at the start of the season

[angelopetraglia]

Tom Hawkins. Goalless four games in a row. I don?t think we have seen that for a while.

Jake Waterman has turned into Fraser Gehrig

[whythelongface]

Bailey Fritsch is actually remarkably good. Far out.

Been like that for years. One very good player.

[angelopetraglia]

Waterman has a kick on goal 30m out and Cripps gives a free kick off the ball with stupidity is just dumb when you consider it ends up being a six point game.

[Grantysghost]

Wish Cameron played a stinker against us instead of Dees.
He was way off wasn't he. Wonder if he was crook.

[Grantysghost]

Bombers fifth.

The drought might finally end.

[jeemak]

Bombers filth.

The drought might finally end.

Fixed.

[The bulldog tragician]

Bombers fifth.

The drought might finally end.

Be consoled by the knowledge that the Bombres were fifth on the ladder as late as Round 17 last year. We can only hope for an implosion.

I would rather not recall that WE were fifth on the ladder in Round 19.

[JanLorMill]

You didn't have to say it, you're commentary on him did it for you.

Which is fine, I don't have an issue with that being your take.
I replied on Young once after it said he wasn?t afl standard. My commentary on him says he obviously is.

[Bulldog Joe]

But is he a backman or forward

He is a major contributor to the team effort.

What else do you need?

[Bulldog Joe]

Pretty pathetic game. Just switched over and 11 goals total for two teams at 3/4 time

I thoroughly enjoyed. It is also about the contest not just goals.

Both teams missed some they should have kicked but it was a terrifically tense game.
