Round 12: the other games. Quality, rather than quantity.

Crows win but a dreadful low standard game.

Dawson all class but he can confidently book holidays in September for the next 4-5 years. Crows have an awful lot of of sub AFL standard players, only a handful of their kids look any good.

Normal transmission resumes with Norf. Suns score 7.7 to nil in the 2nd quarter.....now 32 pts up.

Bailey Smith suspended for 2 weeks for the headbutt on Tuohy.

Excellent!

Am I the only one that thinks Smith has got off lightly with just two games for intentional, high impact, high contact? The Dogs Discount must be in play

[Industrial Fan]

Without a doubt. I have no issue with Buddy’s suspension but Smith had three goes at landing a head butt. Baffled that it’s only 2 weeks.

The MRO deemed that Smith concussed himself after the first head butt and became delirious, so the 2nd and 3rd head butts were unintentional.

Today, I think I'm going to follow head over heart and hope for Brisbane to beat the Dockers. I think we have more of a chance of beating the Dockers for a top 4 spot. Guess I'll have to do the same next week when the Lions play Saints. That will help us make up the ground from 7th to the top 4. I am going to plonk for us overtaking Carlton, Freo and Saints (and hopefully more besides).

I'm happy if the Pies beat the Hawks. Still hate the Hawks.

Looking a little further down the fixture, round 15 promises to be a cracker that will really sort out some of the standings with heaps of games between teams similarly placed on the ladder.

Yes, as you say it will be a cracker of a round.....top 8 shaping to say the least.

Demons v Lions, Blues v Dockers, Cats v Tigers and Swans v Saints. These teams make up 8 of the top 9 spots atm with the currently 8th placed Fairypups to face Hawks in Rnd 15. Indeed, a great round of footy.

Watching Hawthorn v. Collingwood, there is no way we should be chasing Tom Mitchell. Still a good player, but yesterday’s man.

Are we? I haven't seen anything recently to suggest we will be chasing him. Definitely not one we should be chasing.

Can't really see Hawthorn making the eight, after that close loss. Not that three wins out is totally insurmountable. It's more that they have four better sides between them and the eight.

Haven't seen much of Collingwood this season, but the fact that they're now in the eight, is probably a wrap for their new coach. And less of a wrap for their old coach.

Cracking the top 4 will be difficult.

[bloodspirit]

Especially now that it looks like Freo have taken the Lions' scalp!

[liz]

Not really. Not if we win our next 10 games. (And the next three after that.)
