    Wonder if North can put in a good first half against the Crows. No Larkey is a blow but the Roos weren't embarrassed by Adelaide at Adelaide early in the season.
    Adelaide have had a stressful week. They should be clinical but if they get a scare I'll be chuffed.

      They’ve taken it up to them and if they were cleaner would have won this game.

      Adelaide’s defenders do love a push in the back. It’s amazing how many they get away with.

        North's skills let them down

        The two 50 metres in the last quarter to Adelaide, due to the Stand rule, were a joke - one resulted in a goa. AFL are a joke

            Melbourne just couldn't close it out. Had brief visions of 4th.

            Nice game by Butters!

                But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                  Do the saints have one good game left in them?

                    So the lions going 0.8 to start the game hasn't stopped them from going ahead.

                    I don't see our inaccurate in the 1st quarter as any sort of reason for losing.

                    It will always be the shitting of the bed in the 2nd quarter. The one we've seen over and over.

                      I wish our players tackled with the same ferocity and effectiveness as Hawthorn and Brisbane are tonight

                        There are so many tough bastard defenders in this game tonight. Players like Lester, Hardwick, Starcevich, who are all tough and can also defend when needed - we don't have any of these tough utility type defenders who can do a job.

                          I think Brisbane can go all the way again

                            That was a fantastic win tonight - they have a heap of key injuries and found a way against a tough opponent. Should have won by more to be honest.

                            I hope they can go back-to-back. I couldn't handle a Bailey Smith flag or a filth one

                              Remember 9 years ago that was us? I can't believe it's been almost 10years since the flag.

                                We had the men's dept down back - all tough as nails and unrelenting in their pressure and ability to defend one-on-one. And we had a makeshift forward line full of assorted hard-nuts, who were able to cobble together winning scores every week in September against more talented and better credentialed teams.

                                Basically the opposite of what we currently have.
