It was bloody funny too.

Maybe they got worried about the 'she was so hot' after the silly Collingwood vid 'controversy'.

This was a post from Alex Pearce of Hayden Young watching the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones for the first time. Not sure why he removed it.

Anyway we can view it?

With the win over the dogs, the team now has earned more premiership points in Vic then ever before. That's incredible. I'm not saying we're going to win the flag, but let's take a moment to appreciate how difficult it is to do this for a non-Vic club. Not to mention we're a lock for finals. It's been a great season so far.

Well done, boys!

Dockers rise from away strugglers to road warriors

Away form was once their Achilles heel, but Fremantle are proving to be road warriors this season.

It's a huge sign for continued improvement making Optus into a fortress, it is skewed by playing top sides at home and lesser sides away, but the principle of winning more at home is usually sound and we can get better at it.

 

[mattis117]

In hindsight, the worst loss for the season was round 2 vs. the saints, with Gold Coast away a real missed opportunity with monsoon conditions having a massive impact on the result.

 

[Purpletown]

Always find these stats interesting, for example by tagging out Oliver at the centre bounces v Melbourne with Aish, we won centre clearances 12-7.
Yet v Bulldogs without Aish in there often we lost the centre clearance stat 15-10.

Perhaps we need to pull the trigger sooner & take out 1 opposition mid around the stoppage when struggling in that area. Not a full tag, just 1 mid sacrificing their game at the contest to allow the other 2 or so go to work.

The bonus with someone like Aish is he spreads well & can be used when the balls in our hands.

We can be poor at centre clearances at times and losing there can make it much easier for the opposition to score which has happened at times this season.

Playing Aish in the role you described is certainly worth doing if we are getting beaten there.

We mustn't have played many games in Victoria in 2013?

 

[BStaff17]

We mustn't have played many games in Victoria in 2013?

Our 10 away games were
6 games in Vic (3 W, 3L)
1 game in Tas (1 L)
1 game in QLD (1 W)
1 game in Syd (1 D)
1 game in SA (1 W)'

 

[Outshined]

One of those 2013 losses in Vic was round 23 against St Kilda where we rested half of our starting 22 IIRC. Given they were bottom 4 that year you'd think we'd have won that pretty comfortably if we'd needed too.

Either way, this season's form in Victoria has been seriously impressive. Shame we didn't knock Carlton off to go unbeaten.

Carlton our only Victorian loss this season? And those bastards played out of their skins to get the points

That says a lot about where the club is headed. Much rather prioritise winning on the road, as the improvement from that will then translate to home form and then added psychological factor to both ourselves and future opponents.

Not unless he reposts it unfortunately.

Best interstate team in Victoria this year - by a long way!

He has this beautiful skill of using his foot to get the ball out then pick it up. It's fun watching him play soccer in the clinches and he seems to do it more often than other players

I seriously expect he will be pushing close for a Top 5 in the Doig - one of those quiet contributors who knows his role and does his role - but the beauty being his role changes every week. The coaches must love him and must be what JL saw in him over at Collingwood and why he brought him over.
