    Re: Round 3 Games

    Just when you thought that watching Carlton's on field ineptitude was fun enough, they cut to Ratten in the box looking like a flummoxed chimpanzee just to add to the hilarity.

    Some terrible skills from both sides tonight, but Essendon were able to break away at crucial moments.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      The Carlton v Essendon game was a case of who can butcher the ball and turn it over the best.

      Is it just me or do a lot of teams seem to have poor skills at the moment. Also I've noticed that teams are also very keen to go wide to the flanks, quite often you see players clear down the middle and the players just don't seem to look there or don't have the confidence to kick it.

        I wonder if anyone has considered that perhaps the balls are a bit heavier or slightly out of shape?

        I hear Sherrin have a new leather supplier.

          Could be the case maybe someone the Aker and his media outlet should investigate.

            You outlasted me DR I lasted 5 min in the second. Gee you know who has left another list in good shape

              Fremantle and Brisbane are going to be hard sides to beat this year...
              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                Freo ruined my tips, but it was good to see them get up against the Pussies.

                Ditto for Melbourne, good for them to get a win.

                  Suban's injury didn't look good at all.

                  Great win for Fremantle though. They've been down for a long time, nice to see them improving and quite rapidly might I add.

                    Yep. As strange as it sounds Freo are going strong and their kids are the best kids in the comp right now.

                      Good win to the purple haze, nasty knee for Nick Suban at the end.

                      We'll have to be on song when we meet.

                        Not looking good for Adelaide so far. On that performance will be bottom four.

                            Sure made me look stupid, I was certain they'd be able to get over the line today.

                            Are Melbourne improving a bit, or are the Crows just that bad? And given the new injuries the Crows suffered today, they look to be in for a long, long year. Going to be some serious changes to their list at the end of the year, one would think.
                            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
