And now a very cranky Sydney next week. Oh joy.


The momentum definitely swung our way when Jordy went off injured.
I thought Frampton beat both McKay and Charlie last night.
When Big Bill rag dolled Harry in the last quarter and took that mark it was an important play in the game.

2 things from last nights game.
Players from both teams were leading with their heads into contests. Sometimes umps paid the free other times they ignored it. The AFL needs to work out what they want to do in this space.
Secondly just the throw the ball up and stop bouncing the bloody thing. So many times last night they stuffed it up but didn’t call it back.
Just throw it up every time.

Without Cripps, Walsh and Weitering we are a very ordinary side.
They have carried us most of this season.
And if Curnow wants to be considered an A grader he needs to play well in big games and not just cash in on the easybeats of the comp.

Pendles lead with his head into someone they all do it and it shits me.
Floppers, another thing that's creeping back.

Apart from that life's grand.

Pendles got a free going head first into Cripps from memory.
But they all do it.

Enjoy the win!
We could still meet in a final if both teams make it.

He took a knee to the head, should have done a concussion check.

No doubt the AFL will go after Carlton again

What win for the Giants, huge comeback in the last quarter. Jesse Hogan on fire.

And now Essendon winning when we least expect it, f**king typical. Come on Fraudmantle! Heard on the Footy and Friends Podcast during the week that this is the first time Essendon has hosted Fremantle at the MCG since 1999 (or 98) I'm pretty sure, obviously before Docklands was built.

How bad was the camera angle? Long shot from the opposite back pocket?

Didn’t even try from behind McGovern or the normal Camera angle.

Director must’ve been into the Blue M&Ms at the time!
