    Going to be a close finish.

    Melbourne looked too quick with wheels and ball movement early, so great job by St Kilda to peg it back.

    Typical dees . Stkilda were putrid, and Melbourne should have put them away .
    Adelaide were super impressive last night, and with the plastics look the best two teams .
    You could see a siege mentality brewing at Geelong just lying in waiting for Richmond .

    I listened to (are you there) Harry and Tommy (down in the winner's rooms) but you are going to have to explain 8.8-56 brother. Please and thank you.

    Yes TD. Whenever the score was 8 goals 8 behind 56 points Harry would always say for some reason I am not sure of 8 8 56 brother. Others mimiced him over the years always repeating that score and putting brother on the end. I have always remembered that.....brother

    Could it possibly be a Masonic reference?

    Didn't Rex say this and Harry was the brother reference ?
