As long as you don't say you like Patrick Dangerfield you're fine

I don't know who that bastard is but I hate him already. (good?)

You may not know this but he has a cat

I don't think Dangerfields cat gets 16 page liftouts in Brazilian newspapers.

What if it gets hit by a bus in Peru?

Only if his nipples itch

Just discovered how the crows got their faux monogram squiggly ugly thing. Check out the bridge on king william. There are Big steel monograms on the pylons that look suspiciously similar. Adelaide just tweaked the "FC" in there somewhere.

So their faux monogram is both not original, AND never used by them. #stolen #justlikeeverythingelse #faux #sackwalsh

Frost (vs Daniher) named as full back of the week ahead of Carlile (vs Roughead). Lol

 

[finbarr]

Appalling.

 

[finbarr]

I know Alipate is one of football's most laid back dudes and this honestly wouldn't phase him one little bit, but C'MON MAN!!!!!!!

 

[finbarr]

And conditions at the MCG were hardly what you'd call conducive to dominant forward displays either.

 

[Dylan8]

Collingwood v Essendon was the blockbuster of the round, two heavyweights battling it out.

Not to mention the 79 inside 50's the Hawks had that Carlile had a role in defending.....

Carlile played one of THE great fullback games on Saturday night.

 

[Bernie L]

I have never wasted my words there. Anything you write here gets read by them anyway

No it doesnt

 

[manureid]

Someone probably said at the meeting, Carlile played well, then someone else would have said, yeh, Carlisle..nah, played up forward most of the game.

If I was Daniher I'd be fairly pleased with my 2.2, 9 kicks, 3 handballs, and 6 marks in appalling conditions.

Why do you bother with that leper colony?

Spat my coffee out at that one.

Interesting looking at us compared to Geelong. We have both played Hawthorn, Freo and North (they won against GC) and you can see what that sort of hard, harsh football will do to a side. They're looking ragged and have been written off in a lot of quarters for even a finals berth.

Alarmingly Freo have played Port, Geelong, West Coast and Sydney and won the lot. It's a dream start for them and they now have a ride of easier games. Our round 23 clash against them is going to be another vital game in determining the shape of the top 4 you'd think.

The Showdown will be hard, as they always are. I'm really keen for us to wipe the floor with them to be honest given some of the posturing of the 'leper colony'. But any win will do!

Freo will come top, no doubt. A Port v Freo GF would be fantastic!

Early days yet.

 

[El Zorro]

Early days yet.

I know it is early days but it's hard no to see them finishing top 2. as others have said, they have started pretty well by beating Port, Geelong, West Coast and Sydney. I would like to think the other top-2 spot will be fought between us and the Hawks.

Haven't really watched their other games, but against us they came out flying, they increased their running work load by 40% over the summer, assuming they played their other games at the same intensity as they did against us, I predict a flat spot spot somewhere up the road. How they manage this and the sore legs for the remainder of the season will dictate how they finish

Their draw is second in ease only to the Crows....on paper.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Crows should win 3 straight after us, can anyone say marshmellow

GWS will trouble them in round 8.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Im thinking GWS will trouble most.

And i know its early. But I would take McCarthy over Boyd every day of the week

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

GWS will trouble them in round 8.

GWS always go completely to water against the Crows I know they are a better side this year but I still wouldn't tip them in that game.
