It's actually unfathomable how the results are conspiring to keep us out of the 8...whilst continuing to increase our chances of a top 4 finish.

What does Michalanney get? Looked like two separate incidents. One was a very intentional gut punch, and the other a very intentional forearm drop to the head. Looked like they were both from him, unless I've got one wrong.

Honestly didn't think much of the gut open palm. The elbow on Wiz though, deserves 2
Has there ever been a season with this many teams with a percentage in the the plus? That's 14 teams as of tonight and it surely won't stay being that many teams by the end of the season but it really does show you how close a season it's been.
The Port loss was likely the catalysis for where we are now but geez it makes the world of difference to the ladder if you switch that win around with them. We'd be 6th and just percentage off of 4th.

Read this. Bulldogs praise and deserve it. But article finishes with this line.
You’d be hard-pressed on current form to tip any of the Victorian-based sides to go deep into September.

WTF who writes this rubbish. Just noticed the Port line too. Crikey.

Bombers blowing up, Dogs are hot while Carlton are cold
It was a round of snakes and ladders as some teams that made early running, battle to stay in contention.

Richmond have not bottomed out yet. They could lose half a dozen very good players this off season

Sydney’s game day thread is good too. Talking about how they’re leaving the footy in the 3rd qtr today and don’t turn up if their team doesn’t
Essendon are 10th hahahaa
Glorious reading. I think I need a cigarette now and I don't even smoke

Is the Essendon Edge something they play with, or is it what they fall off late in the season?

One team with percentage between 70 and 100. The story of the season.
Tell us all again how teams outside victoria are hard done by
The ongoing discussion just annoys the hell out of me. When non-Melbourne teams have been good enough, they've won flags. All these other issues people go on about are superfluous. There are just as many advantages as there are disadvantages, and in the final wash-up, most times the two more deserving teams play in the GF.
As for Victorian clubs having the advantage because the GF is played on the MCG:
1992, 1994 - West Coast defeated Geelong.
1997, 1998 - Adelaide defeated St.Kilda and North Melbourne
2001 - Brisbane Lions defeated Essendon.
2002, 2003 - Brisbane Lions defeated Collingwood.
2012 - Sydney defeated Hawthorn
2018 - West Coast defeated Collingwood.
From 1992 to 2012, non-Victorian clubs won 11 flags in 21 seasons, even though there are most Victorian clubs than interstate. From 1991 to current, 26 non-Victorian clubs have played in the Grand Final for 12 flags. As we speak the top 3 teams on the ladder are non-Victorian, and two others are in the top 8.
People can crap on about this all they like, but the facts remain, if you're good enough, you'll have success, irrespective of your geographical location.
Sydney are really irking me. Needed them to beat Dockers, Dogs and Lions yet they lost all 3.
What's the bet they lose the Power too..
We really need to win at least 3 maybe all 4 to have a chance at finals which seems ridiculous considering our run.
Dogs doing well doesn't help either.

Pendles going on for another year apparently... good idea or one year too many? Still gets a bit of it, but gonna be another year slower. I can see an early retirement on the cards if the decline keeps going at its current trajectory, as I don't know if he'd want to languish in the 2's.

I think there's quite a few that should be hanging up the boots at the Pies. Pendles could be one of them, but I'd trust him to know his body and what the right call is there.
That said, trends in the game over the past few years mean losing running pace as a midfielder is a far bigger deal than ever before. With teams like ours stacking half forward and half back lines with pacey, line-breaking gut-runners it's not like you can really hide those slowing older players on flanks anymore as they'll just get run-off.

IMO Ramma can play this same role very well for us. He is a good mark and agile to boot.
When Reeves was our No:1 ruck, I was hoping Meek could do the role Lobb does now.

As it turns out, nothing. The MRO rated the strike to Moore as a greater fine.

MRO is legitimately cooked. Suspending blokes for footballing acts like a tackle and then letting an elbow to the head go.
Intentional, medium impact, high contact...it literally has to be 2 weeks by their own rules lol
And even if you go low impact it's still a week for intentional and high.

Legitimately such an amateurly run sport
I’ve seen it a little bit but needs a lot more strength for it at afl, his building towards it though. lobb is very mobile for his size though, his genuinely huge.
