    Same scenario as before the 2016 finals, bye then a Thursday game. Let's hope for the same result

    It's probably a good thing as it will mean 8 day breaks as we go back to playing Friday, Saturday and Sunday
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Adelaide should get the Aints off our hammer. Would be nice if the cheats could clean up Port for us.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Be nice to have the lions knock off the dockers at the Gabba. Would push Freo out of the race too you'd think.

    I give Brisbane a big chance. Something looks seriously amiss with the Dockers.

    The Dockers on paper are probably the 16th best side in the competition. It's been an amazing effort for them to have done as well as they have, particularly given Fyfe has hardly fired a shot.

    Funnily enough their best performance was against us, by far. They limped in against a few teams, and copped a some poundings. Their percentage is laughable for a team hanging the top 8.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Sandilands made a big difference that night.

    I think a few of their efforts away from home have been decent .
    They dominated Richmond for 3 quarters ( who have improved markedly) and a good win against an inconsistent Melbourne .
    Don't think they'll make the eight, but they've improved .

    Adelaide got the silver service treatment again last night. Obviously tagging is now being put under the microscope. Rory Sloane got some very soft frees. Coby Stevens did a great job on him. Adelaide definitely the best side by a long way at the moment.
