    Bit of a "meh" round. Thursday night will be interesting to see if Pies go 0-3. But watching the Saints is rarely enjoyable.

    I might have to find a couple of movies worth watching cause there's not much to see here.

      I don't know why but I have a bit of interest in both of the games on Thursday and Friday. I want to see how the Saints are actually going and Adelaide and Geelong should be a decent encounter.

        North V Freo will be an interesting watch. Wouldn't surprise me if North get a win but Freo was very good last week will look to back it up on the road.

          I am tipping the Pies to win but yeah will be fascinating how they respond. Saints very solid defensively but need more bang for their buck inside forward 50.

            So fascinating that the afl is concerned about crowd numbers!

              They'll probably get a crowd in the high teens 18K something like that. I think if it is under 15K for North that is low. Big crowd expected at the Good Friday match I would think like last year.

              We should try and lockdown Easter Sunday night in the future as permanent slot for us so we can have that 'marquee' game that was lost on Good Friday.

                I think if the game was mid season theyd be lucky to crack 15k.

                  Last time they played at Marvel, was a long time ago and they had 19k. I think will be closer to your 15k

                        We all can agree Nick Daicos is an out and out gun. But seriously do the commentators need to say every game have we seen a better first 50 games or whatever game number he is up to.

                          Chris Grant went ok. 50 goals at 17.

                            Erin Philips’ insightful comment that Scott Pendlebury’s talent is all due to his basketball background. I never knew…

                              Went away to make dinner and came back to see Mason Wood convulsing off the ground. Bloody awful.
