Optus too apparently. Manuka also feels very firm under foot compared to some suburban grounds in Canberra.

Manuka feels hard to my feet.

They’re finally doing the rebuild they need, the issue is last time they whiffed their high picks. I think they’ll be OK if they stay the course with Lyon, but it might be a crappy couple years.

Possibly. Somehow I feel like they still won't be anything more than a 5th-8th also ran at best, even after a few years.

Richmond were 9thmond until they won 3 flags in 4 years. Think it's hard to write any list off except ours cause it sucks and I hate us

Classic tk and the gand banter

Somehow North are getting worse.

Somehow North are getting worse.

Soul destroying stuff in the 2nd. So they kick a goal with 4:12 on the clock to bring the margin within 4 goals. Now 0:32 to go in the quarter and they've conceded three goals in three minutes.

 

[stEdy]

We should make a decent offer to Duursma, see if he hits the eject button like JHF did.

North look worse than us in 2013 at this stage

One of the worst death spirals I've seen from a team. They haven't had more than 4 wins in the past five years and seem to be regressing even further this year, it's pretty concerning.

 

[stEdy]

heck North. I tipped them last week so pretty happy to watch them burn today.

I did the opposite tipped them this week, thought sometimes Hobart can provide the odd upset. Not to be won't be tipping them again.

Good game on right now

I reckon Carlton will open the game up and win the game in a 10 minute patch.

Cats are ridiculously efficient. Carlton wasted their chances

 

[Bluelegs]

Lol of course Geelong get a goal review call like that.

Yeah games ebb and flow and Cats will take their chances. Such a professional outfit. Carlton will be scary if they can put it all together though.

 

[mrmonkey]

David King just said Carlton are playing two teams out there, check the stats free kicks are even.

He must have a bit riding on Carlton lol.

34 year old Dangerfield looks fitter than any of our mids in their prime this year.

 

[schmuttt]

Geez we need to lift next week. Could get real ugly if Geelong go even in the middle. I do think we'll defend our D50 much better than the Blues, but I also have no faith in our scoring.

Our backline will fight hard to keep Geelong honest but I'm expecting a ten goal loss. They will feast on our turnovers.

 

[stEdy]

Everything going the Cats way, really.

They'll touch us up if our current form lines continue.

Yep hard to see how we win, only thing is we just don't lose by 10 goals, we'll probably lose by 25 points without ever look threatening.

Agree, we'd need to lift our game legitimately 50% to be a chance. We all know the Brisbane game was a 10 goal loss disguised as a 4 goal loss, and we were so lucky on Wednesday night we were playing a bottom 4 team. I guess the one positive is I do know we can actually play much better than we are currently, because we've been THAT bad.
