We really have a chance to snag one this year it’s so open

Just gotta be around the mark and good at the right time of the year.

Team finishing top only wins the flag ~40% of the time I think.

We got closer to Hawthorn than Brisbane did!

Was obvious that they were a very long way from a bad team that day.

The Hawks are a better team than their ladder position suggests, I wouldn't be surprised if they cause a few more upsets in the back half of the season.

Hopefully we aren't one of them when we play them again in Round 20 but I don't think we will be taking them quite so lightly the second time around.

In the last month they’ve beaten two top 5 teams, won another game by 116, and outscored Port by almost 5 goals in Adelaide in the 2nd half last week.

I just walked to the tramstops near gate one and there's multiple ambulance and fire trucks attending to a person

I've just walked to Flinders Street. Got on a train that went around the loop and they're still working on them.

 

[Nutsngum]

Adelaide are the biggest flat track bullies at the moment.

 

[aussierulesrules]

At this point I'd say there's only three teams that have a remote chance of winning it but yeah Melb and Collingwood are way out in front.

The two I was referring to were the clear top 2 on the ladder, in Collingwood and Port.

Dees are spluttering along and far from convincing. Lost two of their last 3 (including to Port) and the only win was a 17 point one over Carlton. Every chance to make it 3 losses in 4 games when they play Pies on Monday. Then they play Geelong in Geelong!

Imagine getting to play West Coast at home when they’re missing McGovern, Barrass and Hurn down back!

Yeo playing full back on Tex.

 

[Plugger35]

Tex with 5 goals already, he could break the goal scoring record today.

Imagine getting to play West Coast at home when they’re missing McGovern, Barrass and Hurn down back!

Yeo playing full back on Tex.

I bet they will all be back when we play them.

Unfair isn't it. I do feel bad for them - genuine witches hats.

Cant stand him. Dumb as a brick, cant help being a racist dickhead and never stands up vs quality opposition.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Jeez, there should be a mercy rule.
Anyone playing Eagles twice this year has totally lucked out.

 

[PostmanBish]

Let's hope the Hawks can do to the Lions what they did to us! Unlikely I know, but brions always seem a little suspect at the 'G and it would certainly make for a more entertaining game.

This was the last BF post I read before leaving my phone for some hours ... well done Nostradamus!

 

[hayes]

We really have a chance to snag one this year it’s so open

I remember thinking that last year. Then they had to go all St Kilda on me.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Stevie Baker and Milney in Collie WA (absolute shithole) doing Jagerbombs the night before the game hahaha

 

[PostmanBish]

Exactly. If Butler got 1 week for a tackle that wasn't a sling and didn't concuss the player, then it has to be longer because no ones neck should be at that angle.

That could easily have been a career-ender ... potential to cause injury factor was off the scale there.

 

[Plugger35]

This should be West Coast's new theme song, it's more appropriate and also a much better song.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Poor yeo. Imagine sending Steele back to play on Tom Hawkins or something.

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

Reminds me of losing to the Hawks by 145 in 2014 I think it was. it just didn't stop all game.

Thanks for reminding me, I had done my best to block that game from my memory.

We won the spoon that year but at least we weren't as bad as West Coast, we won 4 games that year and I don't think West Coast will match that.

It's hard to see them winning another game this year, let alone another 3 games.

He stood up against the Saints....

Oh....

 

[Hayes4PM]

For the love of god ref, stop the fight. He's dyin' out there!!

 

[seasonedsainter]

Carlton beating Essendon would be the optimal result for our ladder position...

 

[Plugger35]

I love the look of Rachele, reminds me a lot of Owens, he is an absolute gun that can play both forward and midfield and he's tough as well as skillful.

 

[Plugger35]

Right on cue Rachele scores another goal.

He doesn't mind a goal celebration either, he pulled out the Mbappe one a couple of weeks ago.

 

[beside the seaside]

That Brisbane result really opens things up for us. With the Saints playing Brisbane and Melbourne over the next four weeks, the next month just got (potentially) very exciting.
