No one will take votes off him and he is high up in their best players week in, week out. Another 3 vote performance last night. Has to be a big chance.
    Nope , he won’t , he can’t , was suspended for one match ....

      Yes, it is an achievement. And he's always been a hugely skilled player. If only he'd used those skills for good, instead of evil.

        You can't have everything.

          Oh bugger, I forgot that....it might be one of those embarrassing counts for the AFL then.

            It's sweet to see the Injectors getting beat. They must've missed their pre-game jab before the opening bounce. Most importantly, it helps our ladder position.

              Parish is the best example of someone taking his time to realise his talent. He has gone from an under achieving high draft pick to an elite midfielder. I’m really hoping Mills (from the same 2015 draft class) continues to go to another level and Florent (from the 2016 draft) makes his jump in 2022. It also is a lesson on patience for someone like Stephens.

                  GWS giving Melbourne a bit of a touch up at the moment.....leading by 17 pts nearing the end of the third quarter. Are the Dees finally feeling the pressure of expectation?

                    Giants win by 9 pts.....mmmm. Dees fans might be panicking just a little right now.

                      Unfortunately doesn’t help our cause as the Giants are now only 2 points behind us so a little bit more pressure on us to get a win tomorrow.

                        Next 3 games are a big test for us. Could lose all 3 and end up winning 10 or 11 games. Still a big jump up from last year. Can't see us beating Bulldogs. Need to win one at the very least to keep sniffing finals.

                          I found myself going for the Giants today - even though the other result works better for us. Bottom line is you need 13 wins to guarantee a place in the finals, (well maybe 12 & good %), so guess we can’t be too concerned with other results.

                          It’ll be a great achievement if we can get there.

                          Oh, & Go Blues!!

                            I know a Hawks win tonight would be good for us but it ain't happening. 42 pts down at half time and don't look like scoring with Port in total control. Makes their win against us all the more embarrassing and annoying, especially considering we pushed Port to 10 pts a week later.

                              Didn’t they beat the Giants last week?

                                It’s probably more embarrassing for Hawthorn. They are awful tonight. Their intensity against us was far higher than what they’re dishing up here. Feel sorry for Burgoyne.
