Round 13: the other games. Thursday, Buckley, Freezy.

Still not 3/4 time so there's time left but Giants being made to look second rate by the Kangaroos at the moment.

Let's hope North keep going, as that will make our finals berth a little bit more secure.

[Markwebbos]

That would definitely help our chances. And be more embarrassing than our defeat

[stevoswan]

Scores now level.....30 minute mark. Could be a draw!

......and so it is. Daniel Lloyd of the Giants had a shot on the run with seconds left and missed everything!

Imagine the giants if they had a decent coach and a bit of buy-in.

Josh Kennedy (West Coast ) was astonishingly good v Tigers tonight .
Cool as .

He surely must be under serious pressure if they miss finals. He's certainly had a big bite at the cherry. Their list isn't what it once was, but still stacked with plenty of talent to be doing far better than they currently are.

Stewart Dew's tenure must also be insecure. Although a lot of their top end talent is still young, they really should be doing better than they are.

He was very good.....it was a great game. I was happy the Eagles won as Richmond were getting a fair rub of the green with the umpiring.

Bonus is the close win means we stay 6th until after the bye.

Yes, I can never figure out what's going on with the Suns. Their lists are not terrible. Their coaches are not nobodies. I've seen them play well - usually versus the Swans, for some reason. But they just never seem to improve or progress.

Fabulous bicycle tracks especially along the beach fronts , exceptional foodie culture ..

I like Adelaide but the food is @@@@. Definitely not a selling point!!

[neilfws]

Back from Demons vs Pies. Not a bad turnout, considering. Completely different experience being the neutral observer.

I went mostly to see the "red hot" Demons in action and got something quite different. Had their moments in the first half but really fell away in the second. Pies by far the better team, moved it around quickly and skilfully. Poor old Buckley must be wondering why they waited until his last day to turn it on.

[rojo]

Was the Darcy Cameron that kicked 4 goals for the Pies and was among their best players the Darcy Cameron that was once a Swan? Sigh!

They don't put in regularly enough. Yesterday at the SCG proved yet again the gap between 1st and last is very little, and if you are off
5% or slack off just a tiny bit and the other team doesn't then you will lose. There are challenges being based where they are. I'm sure
some of them feel a bit out of the footy loop. But Brisbane in the early 2000s proved a vaguely talented bunch with a gale force superiority
complex and a ruthless coach can go a long way whilst being out of the southern states bubble.

He can really play. The Kennedy-Judd trade back in the 1950s has to be one of the most interesting and fortuitous trades ever.

[Go Swannies]

Interesting that the Swans are one of the few teams that have to play a team back from the bye before they have a chance to rest. Even the Dees weren't playing a rested Pies. Friday was so disappointing but I wonder if the Dees loss will take pressure off the Swans loss? At least we had an excuse. An old friend said he always tipped the team coming off the longest break - and against the teams flying back from Perth.
