Bump

[azabob]

Quiet amusing listening to Richmond supporters crying about playing a home game at Etihad and not the MCG.

The outcry will be even funnier after Sydney beat them.

[Happy Days]

Sydney at the Dome are legit, but it is kind of random that the game is there.

It's probably a hangover from the contract with the dudes that used to own or operate the stadium that stipulated a certain number of games there. The MCG Tennants had to play some of their home games at the Dome to make up to that number.


What would have been really random was if they had to start getting interstate teams to play home games at the dome. Now that would have been funny.

They only got 32,000 at the MCG against Brisbane in round 4, and 43,000 at the MCG against Fremantle in round 7. Their crowds don't deserve a home game at the MCG when they don't have a fellow Victorian team's fans to fill the stands. Let them pay for the stadium like the rest of the poor bastards, or get the other supposed 50,000 members they claim to have to show up.

Some interesting things out of this match and I only saw part of the game. Buddy nice punch to the face of Rance, deliberate elbow to the face of Parker (can't remember which Tiger player) and looks like a black eye, Conca off to hospital, which I missed and not sure what happened.

Swans kicked 11.1 - pretty accurate.

Conca broke his leg badly. Not pretty.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Higgins is an odd character if anyone saw Fox Footys interview with him

Conca broke his ankle.

It was Vlastuin who elbowed Parker. Hell be fortunate if he doesn't get suspended.

Not sure what was the more impressive, Richmond restricting Sydney to 12 scoring shots over a full match at Etihad, or Swans getting 11.1 from them.

[Greystache]

Conca broke his leg badly. Not pretty.

Turns out there was no break. He dislocated his ankle and won't require any surgery.

We are getting pretty proficient at the only generating 12 scoring shots thing no matter where we play. Kicking 11.1 from them would make that fact less infuriating

[Rocket Science]

Ha ha ... self-anointed flag fancies Melbourne covering themselves in glory versus the might of St.Kilda.

Four goals down late in the 3rd after leading by as much earlier.

Go you Sainters.

[GVGjr]

Sainters have played well. Need the first goal of the last quarter.

Gresham with 4 goals, looking like a win at this stage for Saints

[GVGjr]

2 goals each I think this quarter. Saints might be playing a bit better

[bornadog]

Saints playing out of their skin

[Rocket Science]

Strewth. Saints doing their best to lose it.

Great finish, 2 points to Saints. Wow how bad are Melbourne, they were fighting for 6th spot

[bornadog]

Shoot out at Etihad, no defense at all from both sides

[macca]

Great finish, 2 points to Saints. Wow how bad are Melbourne, they were fighting for 6th spot

Melbourne losing just topped off great weeked of footy. They are threatening the finish 9th again

If Essendon lose then it will really top it off

[Remi Moses]

Norf really needed to put the handbrake on this game
Totally played into Essendon’s hands . This was a T20 afl match

big logjam now with 4 teams on 8 wins (32 points) vying for the last 2 places , and GWS on 34 points. GWS cannot afford to drop a game. Damn you north for losing, would have been icing on the cake for perfect footy weekend.

its great to see any of them lose:
GWS (34 )
melb (32)
geelong (32)
------- top 8 above
north melb
hawthorn
crows (28 pts)
essendon (28 pts)

I hope essendon keep winning so they can keep selling the story of winning the trade week. Get into finals of first week and bomb out.

With only stringer in their top10 ( 10th actually) disposals : K: 11, H: 4, M: 6 G: 3.1 . Devon and Saad out not in the 10.


Gowers: 19 Dispoals K: 15, H:4 , M:4 G: 2.1
