    Wasn't a bump as he had his eye on the ball and was positioning himself to be over the top of it. I think it's pretty clear from both camera angles that were replayed.

      Does anyone think the intensity of last week plus the fact they played at ANZ Stadium has taken its toll?

              10 goals ahead against a team 1 win behind us and yet people are still finding a reason to whinge. What exactly will satisfy you people?

              You'd think the Dons were wooden spoon contenders the way people are commenting here. They're a top 8 contender and would have played finals last year!!!

                Even though we are looking tired in the final qtr - we have done enough - Buddy is looking very at home now -he's a champion - so hope the naysayers get over it and accept he's here to stay and embrace his part in our team.
                I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                  1 disposal by B. Jack. When are we getting Mitchell or Rohan back?

                    Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

                      Good win away from home against a quality opposition. Stringing together some wins. The bye will help players with niggling injuries rest up. If you'd told me we'd be fourth (at worst fifth) on the ladder at the bye after the start we had I'd have been very happy.

                        Got creamed in the hit outs yet again 28-46, yet clearances were even. Ruckmen hit outs don't make a lick of difference.

                          Yes, seemed to be running away from play. there is a spare spot in the firsts for any reserves

                            I agree entirely...unbelievable negativity and over praise for the opposition on here....

                              Great result!

                              Adam Goodes still working back to fitness and form.

                              Jake Lloyd still looking good. He won't be going out.

                              Will Tom D stay in when Pyke is ready? I think you can only play one now!

                                BJ will be a good player when he gets a better sense of where the ball is going. One thing that impressed me most about Goodes' return was his instinctive sense of how to manipulate the football and his body position to his advantage. That's something you only can learn with experience.

                                Still, there's far better players currently available in the reserves than BJ. Even R. O'Keefe would be preferable IMHO. I think Longmire has a soft spot for BJ's potential.
