Round 17: the other games. Everywhere but Sydney, even Mars.

If we don't beat the Dogs then it will be very difficult to make top 4. If we do beat them, looking at the draw home for the teams above us, we're still going to have to win probably all of the last 6 and hope for a few upsets like tonight with the Saints beating the Lions.

This team can do it for sure, the lid will be off if we can beat the Dogs!

Yeah, having just checked, the run home of the two teams within apparent striking distance - Brisbane and Port - is pretty soft in both cases.

It has been a very boring round or footy so far.

Apart from the saints, it’s been yawnful. Turned off after 1 qtr on Friday.

Whitfield subbed out with concussion so will miss our game next week.

Long way to go but the Suns are doing us a favour - so far!

I did enjoy the Suns beating the Giants.

Impressive last quarter from any team when you double the score you put on the scoreboard in the first three quarters ????

Must admit I enjoyed watching the Giants choke against the Suns. Hopefully that really knocks the wind out of the sails and we can take advantage next week in Ballarat/Geelong/Marvel/Princes Park, wherever the hell our game ends up being played at....

They're saying Whitfield's got a migraine but didn't fail the concussion protocols. Does he normally suffer from migraines I wonder? Because if not (and even if he does), what caused his migraine? Sounds like concussion to me. Will be interesting to see how this apparent Giants 'ruse' pans out.

Amazing round. We beat the Dogs, Suns beat the Giants, St Kilda beat the Lions and the Pies finish off the Richmond era. It's all falling into place (except the Lions bit).

We need Richmond to find form and beat the Lions next week.

He certainly looked stunned when hit, but apparently passed the concussion test.
