    Provocation doesn't justify eye gouging, assuming that's what he is found to have done.

      He's been offered a one match ban.

        I suspect they'll fight that.

          He got a knock against us last week and he was bleeding under his eye.

          Edit: Maltopia beat me to it.

            I decided not to go last night and instead bought tickets to tonight's match thinking it would be the better game. I hope I haven't made a mistake. Whatever happens I hope they smash each and have sore bodies for next week.

            Who should I barrack for? I don't think I can bring myself to go for Collingwood!

              I thought Collingwood were very good against Geelong and they worry me. For that reason -and the fact that I hate the Pies - go Freo!

                  Not if they start like last week, but can see Freo winning this. They have a good midfield, good defence and speed. Just worry them getting picked off behind the ball without a lot of marking talent.

                    Haha Collingwood supporters here aren't happy with Stevic!

                    When Collingwood run they look so impressive. Freo can't keep up.

                      Dockers are riddled with skill errors .
                      We will be playing the Pies .

                        Pies too fast and their defenders are waaaay too good for Freo.

                          Freo better wake up soon because I can't see Collingwood letting them back in it like the Bulldogs did last week.

                            Freo just look slow.
                            Hopefully the Magpies don't know how to hold a lead

                              All this Collingwood bounce off half back doesn’t happen against a team with a half decent forward line.

                                How did Freo get this far? They don’t take take the game on, don’t overlap, can’t hold marks (Pies have also dropped them), fumble all over the shop and can’t score .
