Plenty to play for! We need to do our part and win by a good margin to get a home final and possibly still have a slight chance at making the 4.

[azabob]

Not very often that positions 1-7 are still unknown come the last round of the season.

Been a real arm wrestle in the top 8 this year - a good week or two your can be top 2 and one bad week back down to 7th.

Yes this season for sure 1 win or 1 loss a huge in the overall scheme of things in other years 1 win or 1 loss not so significant but this year it certainly is.

[1eyedog]

Adelaide look dodgy far out.

[The Underdog]

No Sloane, No Crows

[jeemak]

It's my fault for putting that multi on!

[bulldogtragic]

It's my fault for putting that multi on!

Use that cash towards a flight to Perth in two weeks time.

[azabob]

West Coast finally look to have their act together. Dont want to play them come finals.

[The Underdog]

That deliberate against Masten might be the worst decision I've ever seen

[ledge]

Adelaide are soft as butter and millionaires when beating up on a weaker opposition , put pressure on them and they melt, not capable of finals footy it they want to back themselves on over the top Joe the goose goals.

[KT31]

Westcoast have found a player in Barrass, been impressive tonight.

[LostDoggy]

The crows love stuffing up our finals campaigns

[Webby]

Adelaide Crows.... Giving Dogs fans fck all for 20 years... If you didn't hate them by now.... Errr.. I'm done...

[Remi Moses]

Not surprised to be honest . The Nic Nat match winner has reignited the Eagles .
Eagles look match hardened, and the crows were way off .
The crow midfield got smashed, and just showed how lucky the crows have been with injury .
They don't bat deep in the middle

[merantau]

We certainly have not been able to take a trick these last couple of weeks. If we are to do anything in September we are going to have to do it ON OUR OWN. Gird your loins Bulldog players, destiny is in your hands.

Was super impressed with Barrass last night. Never heard of him till last night, great pair of hands.

[Twodogs]

Was super impressed with Barrass last night. Never heard of him till last night, great pair of hands.

Up until last night I only remembered him because his name is so close to Barassi. He's been around a couple of years now.

[bulldogtragic]

Liam Jones -3 Fantasy Points with no disposals to near half time. I didn't know you could actually go negative in points in half a game of footy!!

[Remi Moses]

Melbourne turning in a stinky performance for Roos

[bulldogtragic]

Hardwick winning a final next year... That's already coming back to haunt him. He's going to struggle to win games, let alone get into the finals, let alone winning one.

Giving their high picks away for Cloke & Prestia isn't going to fix it, so another year without a rebuild...

[ledge]

Richmond are a disgrace more than Melbourne or Carlton if that's possible.. Hardwick doing his best to look like he has lost the plot.

They can get away with sacking him, and instituting a rebuild. I'd be doing that if I was them.

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Richmond down by 130 5 mins into the 4th. Greatest losing margin is 157. C'mon Swannies!

[bornadog]

They can get away with sacking him, and instituting a rebuild. I'd be doing that if I was them.

They re-signed him in March I think. Totally embarrassing, just like Carlton losing today. ( I am so happy with those results beacise Dons will miss pick one now)

[Dancin' Douggy]

Richmond........are.......just...... I mean......that jumper, which once struck fear into ones heart is now a complete symbol of weakness

[hujsh]

Lack of defensive effort by Higgins against Patful a moment ago really makes me glad that he's gone.

Yep. And him on and off the bench in the hand of medico's too.

[hujsh]

Got a real insight into what it must be like for a North supporter that half

"Oh good, Majak took a mark...Oh no, Majak has to kick...Oh no Majak...Oh no..."

[bulldogtragic]

Said something similar myself. The one half decent thing he does each week combined with the one flashy thing he does once a month are so clearly offset by the rest of his game. I remember playing in under 9's game and a kid ran so bloody close to me on the mark, well, his kick nearly stopped puberty from coming on. Majak ran closer to the mark than that 8 year old.

[ledge]

Do we keep an eye on Darcy MacPherson and think
We let a good one go ?

If Honeychurch doesn't get a game MacPherson doesn't. More power to the lad but he's just about the last thing we need on the list.

What's he done Ledgey? I checked the stats and he's got 8 touches and a goal.

[Remi Moses]

Only 22,000 to farewell their champions
GWS just to quick and just owned the corridor .
Not sure the Giants are going to get the space in a final they got tonight, and against the swans .
Richmond were embarrassing, and even more embarrassing is the drivel from Hardwick about making the eight .
Sydney look the team to beat for me .
Did Norf trade their first pick for Jed Anderson ?

[ledge]

What's he done Ledgey? I checked the stats and he's got 8 touches and a goal.

Just saw his goal and realised he was playing and thought he is a father/son we didn't take and how would we feel if he came good ?

[Ghost Dog]

North's list selections have been laughable. IF they ever thought that they were going to win a final with Daw, Petrie and Firrito, they are kidding themselves. Finals teams run deep in depth and don't have passengers.

[hujsh]

I believe Brisbane are pretty much equal with Essendon on % as at half time. Hope the Saints kick away

Need to extend the margin by only 15 points in 50 minutes game time!

[bulldogtragic]

Riewoldt a chance to break 200 on SuperCoach. 9.1, 25 touches, 20 marks.

Bloody hell.

[bulldogtragic]

Bloody hell Brisbane. You've had a chance to get pick 1 two years running and given it to proven cheats in Carlton & Essendon. Idiots.

Riewoldt broken 200 SCs.

[comrade]

Pies up by 10 at qtr time. Dare we dream?

[bulldogtragic]

Pies up by 10 at qtr time. Dare we dream?

No. The umpires will get them across the line if needed. Weird that if they win or lose, they play at their home the MCG while Geelong or Bulldogs wouldn't against them despite being higher on the ladder.

[Sedat]

I'm dreaming - Pies would love to strike a mortal blow in Hawthorn's 4-peat plans so that they can protect their own 4-peat.

Softest 50m penalty just gifted good guy Hodge a goal.

How that wasn't holding the ball against Burgoyne 25m out straight in front I will never know. That's exactly what holding the ball is. Good to rely on the umpires for those who bet on Hawthorn.

As if they'd pay it against a champion like Burgoyne. Premiership champs don't make silly mistakes like holding the ball. Must have been a genius handball somewhere in there.

Right you are. My bad.
