      Port dominant in the third but the Lions three goals to nil so far in the last.....5 pts in it now. Go Lions......although a Lions win over Port would be a bit embarrassing for us.

      Post edit..... Port by five. Interesting......

            Mitchell is permanently the captain of my fantasy team, just set and forget!

            Always nice to see the Hawks getting done.

                I see the 'Dogs have decided too try and prove the 2016 Premiership was no fluke......sorry, too late for that. Could have wrapped it up by quarter time had they kicked straight..... Port now the only undefeated side...... that should be us!

                  If Melican isn't fit for next week against the Dogs, it might actually work for us given the Dogs's small forward line. Newman or Fox in would be better than another tall such as Aliir.

                  Ed Richards, another half back flanker that we were linked with before the draft is playing well for them.

                    Ed Richards was my pick in the 2017 draft thread. Longmire interviewed Laghlan Fogarty and Jack Higgins the day before the draft, who were also on my favourites list. All 3 have played this year and looking okay. A bit of an inauspicious start for Ling, but I'll back our selection for now. He did show a few good things.

                      Couldn't believe my ears when Dwayne Russell said during the Eagles v Geelong game that the Eagles were unlucky to lose against us. He must have been smoking something dodgy because losing by 5 goals is not unlucky!

                        I have always found Dwayne Russell biased with his commentary against the Swans and I get very annoyed with his comments, so I am not surprised by that comment.

                          Really footy commentating apart from actually calling the game is al about perpetuating a series of club myths. The myths that perpetuate about the swans is that we are the best contested team in the Comp and that the scg is drastically smaller than any other footy ground. Yes we do play contested footy but so does everyone. And yes the scg is smaller but it?s wider than most grounds.

                          If only the commentators would just call the game !!

                            Not biased, just dumb (and a bit too fond of the sound of his own voice).

                              Most of the commentators deal in a lot of shallow information. Good call AG. Although I thought Nick Riewoldt was pretty fair and interesting to listen to.

                                Yea true. Thus far Nick has been pretty good. I think it?s because he?s only just retired and he is still close the the players currently playing that he offers good insights into the way they?re thinking and playing. I suspect that diminishes the further from their playing days that those ex player commentators get as they still relate things to the game in their day but the game moves on so they start talking about other things and get caught up in the commentator speak
