Thanks for that miss McGovern. Happy for Pies and Pendlebury.

Tense last 6 minutes - good to see Carlton lose

Re: AFL Game Day - R21

Huge miss from after the siren might really hurt Carlton. I hope we make it hurt at least

Pendlebury is a legend.

He just said “I have a basketball background if people don’t know”.

Love how they keep running with the narrative that Collingwood are amazing in close games.

Commentators were talking about how they are the "clutch kings' after that result. As if being demolished at every single clearance and being unable to control the ball let alone look like scoring in the last 5 minutes, plus conceding an after the siren shot on goal for the opposition to beat them in said close game is the definition of clutch.

Umpiring must have been really bad for Sydney to lose by 112 points.

Re: AFL Game Day - R21

Never rated Sydney as highly as everyone else. Relying on those 3 mids to dominate the middle of the ground AND kick all their goals just wasn't sustainable and I found it laughable anyone thought it was.

Didn't expect a drop off to this degree but they overachieved.

Brisbane would be my clear flag favourites. I'd have us up there, but we need to finish top 4 and that might be hard given Geelong have an easy run home (besides v Freo) and Port are in hot form.

Fremantle play both Geelong and Port in Perth on the run home - if we win all 3 the lowest we can finish is 5th and a home final, while a top 2 and top 4 finish is still very much alive.

Loooooolz. You can leave on that high.

Their tears are so sweet Scott Tenorman style to me.

Tonight Squiggle ladder predictor has us finishing 3rd.

Re: AFL Game Day - R21

Saw a comment on Twitter that last week?s result was more about how the Bulldogs played, but this week was all on how Sydney played.

Re: AFL Game Day - R21

Personally I thought Sydney were horrible last week, their skill level was dog water and their three good mids looked exhausted from having to carry two thirds of the ground by themselves. They would’ve lost by a lot more to us but for our average finishing and their junk time goals.

A sobering dampener on hubris arising from the penultimate win. Wouldn't you know it, the giant killers, Port, get another crack at denting our confidence by slaughtering the Ds next weekend. As me sainted, Irish grandmother said to Grandpa, on the way to mass, "ye aren't as good as ye told me ye'are."

Go Hawks, giant killers.

Re: AFL Game Day - R21

I’m not convinced this is a good result for us. Hawks are scary and even beat us before they were good.
