      I'm don't know why but that Lions vs Suns game has plenty of appeal.

        Game of the round. We will see how far Suns have progressed.

          Could it be that they have both only lost 1 game, and currently sit 2nd & 3rd on the ladder?

            Perhaps but I really want to have a look at the Suns before we play them.

              Surely tonight’s game is the game of the round. Been hanging for this game all season!! Worthy of Thursday night status.

              I am all for equalisation but really who determined, and more importantly how was it determined, that tonight and tomorrow nights games are worthy of prime time status.

                Would like to see the Brisbane/Gold Coast match, I wasn't alive at the time of the merger so seeing the Bears stuff would be really cool.
                But instead insufferable Hawthorn get the game on 7.
                No I'm not paying for Kayo. Murdoch is a flog and my wallet suffers enough as it is with what I spend on the footy. (When we have away games I can't get to and aren't on 7, I just avoid the scores for a day and then watch the replay)

                Also... who schedules two derbies on the one day anyway? Surely you'd want those games different weeks?

                    And what a putrid game tonight was.

                    Bombers did well hanging on to be fair, with 3 players off the ground injured for all of the last qtr.

                      Because it should be high level and we need to know how good the Suns are.

                        Watched the last quarter. The skill errors from both sides were pretty bad. North don't know how to win.

                          Haha, me too.
                          I live around the corner from Dame Elizabeth's property and have visited when its open, both keen gardeners.
                          I have a black tshirt with white MURDOCHROYALCOMMISSIONNOW.
                          So we read WOOF or check scores.
                          Moreover, having few teeth and about to get snap ons, I can't Bite, Nibble or Chomp.

                            That was such a poor game of football. Under the roof, in perfect conditions the Bombers kicked one goal per quarter after quarter time and somehow managed to win.

                              Yeah I just popped in to ask how that ****en dross could be considered anything other than ****en dross by the punditry, and anyone at AFL house.

                              That was a genuine Sunday 1:45pm game waiting to happen, and that's exactly what was dished up.
                              TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.
