General footy chat Round 18: the other games.

This round seems a lot more appealing than last week's slop, with Suns v Magpies, Bulldogs v Crows, Giants v Cats and Dockers v Hawks, all looking to be quality games. Plus of course, in tonight's game, there's a certain attraction to the prospect of the Lions turning Carlton an even deeper shade of blue.

So far, it's the Lions versus the Dark Blue Witches' Hats.

Yes, I don't really expect Carlton to come back from 21-6 down.

Hate complimenting Carlton because I detest them but they're at least having a go tonight - they're just not up to it.

Starting to get humiliating for Carlton now. Shame.

Yes, an honourable loss to last year's premiers might have eased the pressure on them but it's looking ugly again for them now. And yes, it's a crying shame. I'm heartbroken for them.

If I was a Carlton fan, I’d be an alcoholic. I’m not … a Carlton fan. But it’s fun to watch them with a few wines under the belt.

Nice effort by the Suns, to keep the Magpies goalless in the first quarter. Hope it continues.

It's not over by any means but I wish I had the guts to tip the Suns. Thrashing the Pies at the moment.

Suns are scintillating at the moment. Suns fans appear to be clearly outnumbered by Pie fans, though.

I hear you, Stevo. I considered tipping the Suns too but thought Collingwood was the safe option.

Suns are certainly outpressuring them.

I suspect many Collingwood fans take an annual holiday to the Gold Coast for the game. Which I sorta admire.

[dejavoodoo44]

Even better effort to keep Collingwood goalless in the first half.

[Sandridge]

Goalless first half for the Pies. Nice!!
