    I'd like to keep our Bendigo boys as well. Jake, Tory and one other I can't think of off the top of my head-might be Campbell (Castlemaine is close enough)
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    10th = pick 9. 18=1, 17=2, 16=3, 15=4, 14=5, 13=6, 12=7, 11=8, 10=9
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Dangerfield on one leg and playing in the goal square from midway through the first quarter still looks a good chance of getting the 3 votes.
    His courage and determination is off the scale.

    Ended up with 5 goals 6.

    Hawks should have won that with a chance in the last 18 seconds. Smith 45metres out played on and missed and siren went.

    Massive, massive out for them. We need all the help we can get. He is an absolute star and massive for that backline mentally.

    Watching with very little interest in the match (cats v Hawks) it is evident how rubbish HTB has become. So rarely paid. Players can drop the ball with impunity, be swung around for an hour or so. There was a laughable non decision where Selwood was tackled, swung around, finally dispossessed ( no free, it eventually just fell free) and then seen whinging as he alone of everyone at the G believed he'd been tackled high.

    Don't think I've ever seen a team use up so many lives in the one season as Geelong have used this year - I've counted 5 games this season they should have lost but managed to arse their way to a win or draw. Makes me sick actually thinking of the possibility of Selwood and Chris Scott holding up the premiership cup.

    HTB is a farce at the moment but it's funny how it becomes even more farcical when Selwood gets involved. It goes from the sublime to the ridiculous with the umpires and the reasons they invent not to penalise Joel Selwood.

    "Holding the ball"
    "no it wasn't"
    "why? It was a textbook example of an infringement of the rule. He ran 5 metres with the ball, then he was tackled, spun in a full 360 four times and then threw the ball 30 metres away."
    "Ummmm, the Selwood provision? Nobody called Joel Selwood ever gets pinged for HTB when the day of the week has a 'Y' in it"

    Pretty good game on in Darwin.

    That Jayden Hunt torp on the 3qt siren was joyful to watch. Struck it beautifully.

    Have to admire Sydney's turnaround this year. As much as I don't really want to.

    They've gone from having the minor premiership on a platter to being back in the peloton within a month

    This season is unbelievable.

    Which makes it all the more galling/heartbreaking we've decided to shit the bed thus far. There's another flag for the taking for whoever gets their act together at the right time of year.
