    Ohhh forgot about that, nice one.

    I was really hoping we'd keep the pile on the Crows. Big win yesterday plus a potential percentage win vs Roos could have boosted our chances nicely.
    Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

      At this point in the season, I’ll be going for every team below us when they’re playing teams above us. The Suns blew it, the Tigers blew it, & Port also blew a huge opportunity. The Doggies win is a good thing!

      Similarly, every non-Swans supporter would have liked to see a miracle Crows comeback win yesterday. It very nearly happened, & the final score was flattering. We were outplayed for much of the final 3 qtrs and were let off by some critical misses & dropped marks by the Crows (& some last ditch defensive efforts by the lizard and a few others).

      It’s a wide open comp & every little chance to sneak up a rung on the ladder must be taken.

        Yes, I'm quite liking Essendon against Collingwood this afternoon.

          Some here liking the Dogs win......all I can say is that if we don't make top four, I don't want the Fairypups anywhere near the finals. How would you all like it if we played them in the first week of the finals? We are good enough to beat them but you know what I'm inferring here. We all remember 2016 don't we? That scenario repeated would stick in my craw forever. @@@@ the Bulldogs.

              Finishing top 4 would protect against that to an extent. If it’s not the Dogs it’s going to be the Tigers

                    I'm getting tempted to delete the above post.

                      Oh well, it looks like the game has now got the interesting sidelight of; how flagrantly can you hit Ginnivan in the head, without giving away a free?

                        Yep, the Bombers are not going to do us any favours today it seems.

                        On Ginnivan.....he will be getting head high stuff all day and he has only himself to blame for that.

                          Another screamer from the Giants/Blues game, this time Saad.

                          Saad absolutely heaves himself in staggering speccy

                            Strange game. No wind, but at half time, 11-4 kicked at one end and 1-3 at the other.

                              I take that back....Bombers now in front! Great comeback! Go Bombers.....finish them.
