29 at the half now. What's the record, 50-something?

I haven’t watched him.
Do the rest of Hawks midfield just block the opposition to allow him the ball?

Mitchell already has it at 54 vs Collingwood earlier this year. That was out of a team total of 402 - Diesel Williams had 53 out of 301 for the Swans in 1989.

Guy im up against in fantasy abused the Thursday loophole and had Laird as captain. He saw the 122 and kept it, despite having Mitchell. I stayed with Mitchell and he's on Laird's score at half time. Did lol.

Jack Viney out with early signs of a stress fracture recurrence on his toe. Melbourne not in a good space.

Yep...Fitzroy was better than this Carlton rabble.

Difficult to compare the two. Fitzroy won 65 games in their last 10 seasons, 3 games in their last 2 seasons and lost by 100+ margins 4 times in their last year.

Lions kick their third straight goal and retake the lead. The last ten shots by both teams have been goals.
After 29 disposals in the first half Tom Mitchell has only had 2 handballs in 13 minutes. Could be that Brisbane have done what we did when he had over 20 disposals in the first half and put a senior player on him like we did with Rocky.

Tom Mitchell with 29 disposals at half-time and 552 in 15.5 games is having a great season but is still well short of last year. He had 787 in 22 games in 2017 so still needs 236 disposals in 6.5 games or an average 36.3 per game. Up to this game he has averaged 34.8 per game in 2018.
The most disposals his father Barry had in a season was 689 in 22 games for Sydney in 1991.

Mick - when you're at home, do you ever say to your wife, "Dear, I want dinner in 34.75 minutes, because I want to be finished in time for my favourite TV show, which starts in 63 minutes from now"?

Did the Swans win?

Melbourne not in a good space.

Thankyou, Don Pyke.

I'm not married, but it wouldn't work anyway because it takes me 32.25 minutes to eat my dinner, which would mean I'd miss the start of the show by 6 minutes.

 

[Grave Danger]

Did the Swans win?

Yes. Incidentally, Tom Mitchell's father Barry had a mere 34 possessions for Sydney in the same match.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Thankyou, Don Pyke.

Lol Hinkley said "in this space" in a recent presser when talking about Broadbent too.

Worse still, a port supporter called up the radio and said he was sick of Ken saying "in this space". How we got lumped with that I don't know. Pyke is the king of it.

This Brisbane team improves by the week. Could be a smokey to play finals next year.

Could the lions finally be turning that corner. They've had a ripping month. It's great to see. I like this young side, they rarely stop working hard.

Impey with the solitary disposal for the qtr with 30 seconds on the clock.

Good to see he's stopped going missing.

Coach hardery in the space of working hardery.

I don’t care how much Brisbane have turned it around, they’ll never be endearing.

But Port vs Brisbane were always the best games to watch. It would be ok to see that again.

 

[Nemisis]

Yes. Incidentally, Tom Mitchell's father Barry had a mere 34 possessions for Sydney in the same match.

If Tom Mitchell wins the Brownlow, will it be the first Father and Son to do so?

 

[philreich]

And maybe shape the 8 this year. Imagine being a West Coast fan, knowing your team has to go to the Gabba in round 23 - I'd be nervous.

Are you casting nasturtiums at Tom's mum?
