      7/Fox last night did a nice puff piece about the Swans, going through our backfield, midfield and forward line. Was a slick promo lasting a couple of minutes suggesting we could win the premiership.

      Nice to see some recognition.

      Or they were pumping up people to watch the game against the Bombers which might seem like a boring mismatch on paper.

          I feel bad that I missed it. Who would have thought that you would be worse off having a dunny break instead of watching Fox.?

          Maybe Fox prepared the piece before they knew JMac was being recalled for the game. Anyway, no worries. JMac is a star and doesn't need a confidence booster to know he's a star.

          ..............................................

          Sorry I got offtrack there. As for the Bulldogs-Lions game, take note that the Dogs were coming off a dreaded 2nd six day break, which might account for their fade out. They looked better than BL in the 1st qtr, then slowly faded and got smashed in the 2nd half. The Dogs were better at the contest, but the stats would indicate that they couldn't apply enough pressure and BL kicked their way down the ground.

          The Dogs will have the rest advantage next week with an 8 day, while we will be on a 6 day break. I hope we find a solution for this.

            I missed it too but knowing Foxtel, they will most likely show it again just before the game tomorrow.

              Watching the Carlton v Saints game tonight. I note Carlton are wearing orange socks and jumper outlines. Is this in gratitude towards GWS for supplying them with so many players over the years?

                I was thinking the same thing.
                It's like a GWS Pride game. The Giants can be proud that they've help make Carlton a legit premiership contender. We've done our part as well.

                  Yes, our contribution should also be lauded, LW. Hewett and Newman having career best seasons for them.

                  I also read that Bruhn and Taranto may be on the move from GWS at season's end. More Carlton recruits to look forward to?

                    Here's hoping the Saints can hold on. Will be a great result for us.

                      Watching Sinclair racking them up tonight makes me appreciate Clarke’s game last week on him (and how desperately unlucky he was to lose his place this week)

                        Massive opportunity opens up for us if St Kilda can hold on.

                          That goal from Membrey is going to make it very tough for Carlton to recover and win. Excellent!

                            That nice Membrey effort may have just got St Kilda home.

                              Looks like the Saints will win this one. Even more impressive with the injury carnage they're facing with that recent head clash.

                                Membrey playing a great game for the Saints. Shame we lost him for nothing.
