Apologies for the mispost. Let's look at it this way. I think that Trent cotchin is definitely a better midfielder than hopper and maybe taranto. Clearly not now but over the course of their careers. It would be list management suicide now to be paying Trent cotchin $700k this year at 32. You...

I dont really buy in to this stuff about who is under the most pressure leading in. Ultimately the players are only under as much pressure as they put on themselves, and any decent player will be putting pressure on themselves to perform in these big games. But certainly the post game...

Yeah I would have thought last year would have put this notion to bed, my god do you Eagles supporters need to sook about everything in every thread.

Watched the second half of this game and thought it was the most entertaining game of the weekend, both teams had a real crack and was fast flowing football. Well done to both sides.

Cant see the Tiges winning against a really good side in the Lions on their home deck with our decimated midfield, last week was the important win for us. Even with a loss here we should beat Adelaide and Bombers following, head into the bye at 7-5 with players returning puts us in a pretty...

I had a similar experience and I’m also a 10 game reserved seat member, put barcodes in and was going to cost me $110 for 4 seats on level 3, we hate sitting in the bleachers and very hard to drive to Marvel, didn’t really want to get on a train at 10.30 heading back to the Peninsula

Even the first goal Ross made contact at the top of the bicep, zero high contact the umpire only paid it cause Butters flung his head back. Should be fined for staging

Hoping for a ripping game, really looking forward to watching this live on Saturday. Swans will be a bit sharper in terms of fitness than we are currently, will be interesting to see if their skills hold up under our increased pressure, if they do good luck to them they'll have deserved the...

Also Carltons last goal should not have been a free to Mackay, Broad never touched him and clearly played the ball. I'm just wondering what these people complaining about the frees think would have been a fair result, presumably the 25-15 free kick count in favour of Carlton wasn't fair, lol...

So about another 7 seasons from my reckoning, in a season or two Dusty will head down as a permanent full forward and extend his career by a few seasons. His manager is smart enough to know he needs to play as long as possible as there'll be no media gravy train for Dusty when he finishes up.

My neutral observations FWIW. Well done to Motlop had a great game in a high pressure match, is a seriously dangerous player if he keeps this form up. Also though Hamish Hartlett was fantastic, laid some bone crunching tackles and his pressure was immense, didnt really see him as that type of...

Is that you Mitch? All the best tonight.

Good Post, Honestly I cant remember the last time we were in front at half time and lost. All our losses have a common theme, we really get jumped at the start and the other team just controls the game from there, if we lose, we usually lose comfortably. If we are in the game at half time we...

Comprehension obviously not your strong point if you took from my post I was making excuses, you generally don't need excuses when you've won the previous 15 encounters, lol. Should be a good game tomorrow, if Lions are good enough to beat us they will have well and truly earnt it. Good luck...

yeah agreed, I was taking the In's from your summary so missed that one. Was mainly trying to highlight we have a lot of top line players coming in from that game also. Traditionally the Big O would have been harder for us to counter, as we previously had only really played one genuine tall...

So in Summary from the round 10 game the lions have Out In Ballenden Ah Chee Witherden Starcevich Ellis-Yoleman Lester So a net win but really just 3 role players coming in for 3...

I think you have it pretty much spot on, Geelong should be favourites for this game and are playing the better footy atm. I'd still be confident we could reverse the result come finals. Hopefully Saints beat WCE tonight and we could afford to drop this game, stay in 4th and and try and get...

We try and pressure the post clearance possession, make that guy kick or handball under pressure and try to intercept from there, we can then spread as teams' natural instincts once their teammates have the ball is not to move into defensive positions. Can be frustrating as a supporter, but...

As has been said, we would have to improve again on the West Coast game to win, can be done but Geelong have the obvious form advantage and should rightly be considered favourites. If we meet again in a PF or GF I'd be much more confident as it would mean we were coming off 4-5 weeks of really...

Pies would have to beat both Port and Brisbane to draw level with us even if we lose to Geelong, cant see them making up the percentage with the games they have and we really should only increase our percentage with the Freo and Crows games. Pies more likely to lose all 3 against Lions, GC and...

Did you actually read any of them, 9 out of 10 either wishing him well or wishing he'd shown the same hunger with us the previous 2 years

Congrats to both teams, how refreshing to watch a great game of footy where taking the game on when you have space and not turning backwards and boundary side all game. This is what footy should be like, such a contrast to the borefest that was the Swans Pies games. Also couldn't be happier for...

Graham didn't play last night.

Yeah I think both decisions were correct from the umpires.

My understanding is its whether the player spoiling has his eyes on the ball or on the man, Crozier clearly had eyes on the ball the whole time and made clean contact with the ball. If he was watching the Richmond player and not the ball it would have been a free if he'd made any contact to the...

Collingwood one of the few teams with the right mix to defensively match up on the Tiges. Moore to Lynch, Roughhead to Riewoldt and still have Howe to take Dusty when he rests full forward. Issue for Pies is can they score enough against an excellent Richmond defense. Would need to dominate...

Yet despite those stats we had 3 more wins during the season and won the same fixture 2 months ago quite comfortably. Why dont you compare these same stats from the last time the 2 teams met, you would find GWS' midfield had much better stats in that game yet they still lost quite comfortably...

If the games were all decided on stats we'd be lucky to make the 8, we are the lowest possesion team in the comp,I think we only have 2 players who would average above 22 possesions.

yeah everyone knows once its wet you stick as many tall blokes in the side as possible. :oops::oops::rolleyes: Funny how the narrative has changed from 5 weeks ago when we could only beat the bigger bodied Eagls because it rained.

Haha, forgot that one, probably a 0-0 draw.
