So when does Butters officially ask to be traded?

I think Sydney will win next week

The importance of banking early wins on full show.

Seemed okay as a defender at Geelong. Never thought playing forward suited him

I'm torn, that list is so weird and maybe the weakest players 5-12 of any of the good sides. Rozee, Butters and JHF all guns, Houston too, then it's guys like Aliir, Burton, Wines, Drew, Farrell, Rioli, Burgoyne, Georgiades and of course Sweet. Thats a real mixed bag that averages out to "fine". So to get to a home QF and then a Prelim is a big achievement, especially without Houston and Farrell.

Having said that, yeah nah.

13 games at AO and the easiest rated fixture. A few good away wins and they're top four in a very close home and away season.

Not saying they should go hard at Hinkley, but last week was a win they should have registered and did, and essentially they're well short.

I hope so. Love to see Dunkley walk off with another loser medal

Didn't Clarkson say the extra week off wasn't ideal for Swans and cats?

Think he hasnt realised teams winning through are still winning more than not.

Not sure I get the issue with having a couple of weeks to get cherry ripe and train hard while opponents beat each other up under finals pressure.

Plus, both teams playing at home or at least in their home state.

Did he have his guitar and put that into song?

Man it's cringe listening to the commentariat refer to Nick Blakey as the Lizard.

I mean overrating what he does is one thing, but it seems unedifying that a professional footballer gets named that way during games by people who don't even know him.
