Nick Riewoldt it looks has a serious knee injury.

Re: Round 20 - Other Matches

Gee the deliberate rule is over officiated .Actually reckon the umpiring's been okay.
Hard to believe on the balance of play that Geelong lead. The Josh Hill one arm half hearted tackle effort on display tonight.

Ol' custard arms. I don't miss that.

Tipped the Swans to break the duck against the Pies.

Re: Round 20 - Other Matches

Picked the Swans, could go either way this one.
Game played in spurts, Dayne Beams very prominent.
Thomas out of the game, Goodes hasn't turned up.

Adelaide are now certain top 2.
Dangerfield will get all the kudos but Young Wright and Daniel Talia were excellent.
Adelaide have covered Phil Davis and Bock well.

Even though they have had a favourable draw they are still a very good team and have done very well to probably finish in the top 2. It will be a difficult match for whoever gets them in the first week of the finals.

I feel our Talia will be just as handy as his brother in time.

The Pies hang on again and get the win.

Re: Round 20 - Other Matches

Great win by Collingwood. Got the physcological edge over Sydney.
Dayne Beams was just immense, and Chris Dawes playing his best game for a long time.
That was a finals pressure like game, with stoppage after stoppage. Sam Reid is a massive loss for Sydney

If Sydney and Collingwood meet again in the finals it will be another classic.

North defeat Essendon and will now I would say make the 8. Essendon have definitely been found out.

Not sure I agree that Essendon have been found out. I would have thought they were pretty much where we all thought they were...close but until they get some more skill through the midfield to support Watson, no cigar. Their mids are good foot soldiers but didn't the game go how you thought? Without Zaharakis, Stanton and to a lesser extent Howlett (who is more foot soldier than classy I know) they were going to be in trouble.

Essendon are still building I think - remember they already have Daniher to add to the mix - and if they can get Heppell playing in the midfield for a full year next year they are going to be OK.

I would rather be where they are than where we are!

Re: Round 20 - Other Matches

If Gumbleton comes good they will be greatly improved too. Big if tho.

In what way?

As mjp has described their injuries haven't helped their cause.
