I just did a conservative predictor with us finishing on 13 wins and we finish 9th on percentage.

Is he actually doing this though? Or is it just speculation?

I reckon we'll just miss out. But of the chasing sides you can expect the arse to fall out of one or two of them. GWS, Gold Coast, Bulldogs, Port and Melbourne are all incredibly hot and cold sides. So one or two of them will drop off and be cold cold. One, may two will go hot and win a...

It's all confidence with him isn't it? He looks so focused and stressed - the rest of the team look relaxed and like they're having the time of their life.

Yeh this kind of thing. It just leaves me wondering if they get together and decide this as a group or if one person makes up a trade value and everyone follows. The other side of this though is that we really don't lose good players in that 23-28 year range where all the trade value is. I...

3 weeks for tackles that are between shoulder and hip are wild to me. I get tackling safely - that's a good message. And Sicily's 3 weeks due to McLuggage being KO'd - I disagree with it but I get the reasoning. 3 weeks for the Cameron and Bedford tackles is bizarre. Comparing to the danger...

I'm talking more about trades - but yeh compo just scramble the value of a pick in peoples minds.

Serious question - how does the footy media/fans decide how much a player is worth on the market? I feel like I'm in a whole different world whenever they start throwing pick values around. For example, since Nathan Thompson and Jon Hay left the hawks, I don't think I can recall a single...

On instagram today I saw a video of Jon Ralph saying: If Hawks offer 950k and St Kilda get a first round compo for Battle - who wins that deal? IT'S NOT A ****ING DEAL BETWEEN HAWTHORN AND ST KILDA - WHAT THE **** ARE THEY ON ABOUT?

Yep you pretty much need 4 rucks on the list. 3 that can play seniors and 1 raw spaghetto that needs about 5 more years in the system

Collingwood have so many injuries but they're staying in games for a long time and not getting blown away. If we win it won't be a cruisey win I don't think

I think two things will happen: 1. Players will get better at dropping the ball onto their foot 2. AFL will continue to suspend players who don't tackle safely. I reckon we'll get maybe one injury (or one star player rubbing their arm and grimacing) and then you're right, the tribunal will tee off

FInally watched the game on replay. The thing that stood out to me was how intense the game was from both sides. That was not an easy game at all. Unlike last week - we kept at it and didn't go into our shells. These are the best kind of wins while youre watching your club rebuild

And St Kilda can get stuffed as well. Imagine supporting that clubs> they beat Sydney last week then kicked a total of 39 points this week against another bottom 6 side. Ross is a dud who ruins every game. I know it was raining but Adelaide still almost got to the tonne.

Essendon are a steaming pile of crap. Merret has and Martin have skills and everyone else is a butcher. Mackay took a million intercept marks but also went weak at the knees to hand Melbourne the goal that put it beyond doubt. Sucked in - I hate Essendon. Melbourne were missing Gawn and...

Mackay has taken a million marks and been great - but has had some horror moments too

Uh oh Jobe doing his rev up commentary again "JUST GOTTA PUMP IT FORWARD, BODY ON THE LINE, EVERY CHANCE YOU GET"

Uh oh Jobe's gone up an octave

Well at least they've saved the percentage smashing. But these late goals will fool them into thinking they did alright and were just unlucky.

Front on contact is definitely the worst rule in the game. Dunno why everyone just accepts it. Shit rule.

This will hurt their percentage

Pretty impressive performance by Melbourne, ya gotta admit

Mackay's double panic caused that goal.

Melksham WHAT a goal!!!!!!

Players shouldn't celebrate a goal if they got it from a free kick

He's looked really slow and hasn't had any impact.

That kosi ninja move was amazing to watch!

Hard to tell what's going wrong with Essendon - their forward 50 set up seems all wrong. Shiel, Durham and Caldwell really just not A grade disposal tonight. They're lucky Merrett's running around out there - he needs some more skilful players around him

What was that kick from Merrett? It was 50m from the nearest teammate

God I hate the way St Kilda plays.
