Doesn't look like a big crowd tonight.
A bit surprising.

Nobody likes Thursday matches, plus the MCG gets freezing on nights like this.

Port are also poor at drawing crowds away from home.

Odd scheduling of fixture on many fronts really.

Very dodgy from Port with Butters and Jonas coming back on so quickly. Shouldn’t they be off for 20 mins with the concussion protocols?
Whilst they should've gone for 20 mintues for testing, personally they didn't look concussed. Looked like it ****ing hurt but they didn't look wobbly or out of it.

I thought Jonas looked pretty zoned out when he was coming off.

Port player never seem. To be concussed when it's a close one.

Bloody Bolton could have snagged a sausage or two for my margin pick.

Tiger going well but would have to be worried about Reiwoldt and Dusty. Both of them look cooked out there. West Coast levels of slow.

The oddest being theres only 6 games, with a game on Monday, and they decide this is the week to play a Thursday night game again.

Geniuses

Baker is a madman on the field, I wish he was an Eagle. Has the spirit of Beau Waters within him I reckon.
That’s what we miss - young role players coming in, doing a job and then stepping up to become an occasional match winner.

It’s unlikely we’d ever get BOG games like that out of guys with similar experience like Cole, Duggan, Nelson, Jones, Langdon, Waterman, etc. Our blokes start off as role players and never graduate.

Ch7 and Foxtel run fixturing. AFL pandering to the box ahead of new TV rights discussions and just trying to raise ‘value’ to networks.

Supporters needs and interests a distant second.
 
I love how Woosha keeps having digs at how deluded the Bombers are. He is quoted here as saying that they think they're above having to be at the bottom of the ladder and implies it leads to them making bad decisions.
 
King and Cornes banging on about Richmond again.

I thought Richmond were bog average last night and without a bit of help from the umps, could've gotten rolled.

Three years ago, Reiwoldt, Citching etc were playing good footy.
Now they've fallen off a cliff, as has Dusty.

Me too. It felt horrible hearing he went to that club.

But now he's happy letting everyone know what i've felt since I was a kid watching footy is that that club believes they are above everyone else and shouldn't be held accountable like everyone else. Personally been enjoying the implosion.
 
Love Woosha, but watching him take potshots at Essendon about culture is a bit much.

"Cuz, you taking drugs?"
"No Mr Worsfold!"
"Run long then you young scallywag, we got games to win. And tell Kerr-y to put down the matches and Gardy to get off the phone to old mat Kizon and Chicky to stop doing whatever he's doing and..."
"You got it Mr Worsfold!"

They not only never graduate, many of them regress. It is a worry.
