Carlton tanked last week. Brisbane are a joke. How did we lose to these campaigners. It appears physically impossible..

The fact we lost to these clowns is the reason we shouldn't talk about finals regardless of the mathematics

I think tomorrow's game is the last roll of the dice for us. I can't see norf beating the dogs or tigers as they won't be taking it easy. They might beat a not that full on freo tomorrow. Get out your purple pants boys;)

Geeze, few things peeve me more than seeing AFL players take a bounce, or 2 bounces, after running distances which clearly don't require a bounce.

Rhys Palmer did the same thing last week, 2 bounced within 15m.

Works out well for us though.

Imagine how many goals Wingard would have with the draw Eddie Betts has had this year?
Yup.

Our double up games are teams currently in spots 1, 3,4,5 & 7 on the ladder. Rum affected brain so check pls ;)

May just be the outlier that proves the rule but the draw system generated what turned out a higher hurdle for us than for a few other of this year's other middle table sides.

Rather than Adelaide who are killing it atm.

We will see tomorrow. You should have next weeks game covered do you agree?
Should, yes, lol but this year we've beaten hawthorn twice while conspiring to lose to carlton and brisbane, which us why we've got ourselves into this tight spot.

Adelaide are shit. Don't let their results against teams that have already checked out for the season fool you. If you've got any stones at all as a club you should be able to wipe the floor with those pretenders.

Nah, Wingard kicks his 3-4 a game whether he's playing against the wooden spooners or the premiers. No downhill skier tendencies whatsoever.

The question that you should be asking is how many goals would Eddie Betts have kicked if he'd had Wingard's draw this year.

As much as we'd like to poke fun at Tex minnow bashing if we had a competent key forward effort against the Lions or Carlton we would've won comfortably which is why it's so important we trade Dixon into our club.

Schulzy went goalless against the Blues & kicked one against the Lions both didn't even have their best key backs playing, Dixon kicked 3 against Carlton then 6 & 3 against Brisbane in his two derbies.

I'm a fan of Jay & wouldn't mind him staying but at his age/output not on a bigger deal than he's had in the past, we need a giant that can compete against powerhouses but dominate minnows a fit Dixon fits that mould.

He'd be about where Cyril is 34-ish
