Liked : Tigers , Pies, Lions , Hawks

Learnt :Bombers better than I thought , Sydney can win flag , Toby Greene still a d*ckhead

Hated : Dale Morris injury, hope he plays in 2018.
 
Liked :

Learned : Crows V Cats was meaningless, virtually switched scores from six weeks ago, nothing to learn from this game other than they are both not as good as the Swans. Adelaide have horror last four games.
The premiership favourite is not even in the top 4 currently with only 5 games to go, now when has that ever happened? The Swans will replace one of the current top 4 teams come finals time.
GWS are in serious trouble...they might not make the top 4, Stevie J is shot, at Geelong Motlop and Stanley must be traded.

Sansa will betray Jon Snow....

Hated: White away strips, Geelong policy of "White" shorts only.

Liked: Seeing our kids play well, just runned out of puff in the last qtr.
Learnt: Swans are a legit chance this year.
Hated: Its been two months since we won
 
Liked:
Trengrove playing AFL footy again.
Brisbane have a chance at avoiding the spoon now.
Essendon winning an ugly match.
North Melbourne's youth.
Collingwood beating West Coast (selfish reasons as Essendon in the 8 this week).
Learnt:
Sydney should finish top 4 with the undefeated streak they are having.
Coleman is a 4 person race between Franklin, Daniher, Brown and Kennedy (WCE).
Rockliff can be a tagger.
Unless GWS miraculously get a heap of star players back from injury they aren't a flag threat this year.
Richmond (definitely home elimination final at worst) and Melbourne (Possible home elimination final) have what it takes to win a finals match at the MCG.
Hated:
Dale Morris Injury.
Slow coaching changes when the obvious decisions are clear after quarter time.
Toby Greene getting himself suspended again.
 
- Liked: Another cracking game set up for next week at the MCG with Hawks and Swans in decent form.
- Learnt: Whoever is winning your local footy tipping competition is probably just flipping a coin on each game.
- Hated: Freo still playing the dourest football in the league. Boring game.
 
Liked:
Rory Sloane on Friday night - Bloke is tough as nails and pretty much the most likeable footballer going around
Hawks young players. Some really positive signs for the future

Learnt: Any time Collingwood win, media will ask if it's enough to save buckley, when they lose he's gone.
Sydney are probably prem favorites

Hated:
Saints - there best is great but their worst is putrid
Morris injury
 
Liked : De Goey's game, the kid's a bull.

Learnt : My 3 flag favourites aren't in the top 4 and with 5 rounds left they're not all guaranteed of playing finals. It's just that sort of season. In all the years of following this game I don't think I can remember another like it. With the introduction of the pre-finals bye, I honestly don't think it matters where you finish in the 8 now.

Steve Johnson, you're one of the most entertaining footballers to ever lace up a boot and I've loved watching you play. Make sure you pull the pin at the end of the season. Do it with some dignity and not have to be dragged, kicking and screaming into retirement. Enjoy coaching.

Hated : Nothing, I'm loving the season.
 
Liked:
- Harry Taylor embarrassing Adelaide's defenders
- GWS losing on the MCG
- Port losing on the MCG

Learnt:
- Geelong has nothing to worry about with Adelaide if the game is played away from AO.
- Motlop is shit. Oh wait no I already knew that.
- Adelaide doesn't deserve Eddie Betts. The bloke is a deadset champion and even when he's playing your club comes across as a happy, likeable guy.

Hated:
- Toby flipping Greene
- Adelaide putting Sloane in such a risky position to play. He killed the Cats, but 6 days ago he was out cold. Someone needs to investigate the Adelaide medical staff integrity.
- West Coast's rubbish football away from the MCG.
- Sydney winning. Sydney has the wood over Geelong.

Liked: The Crows massive win on Friday. its been a very long time since the crows played touch, aggressive and in your face footy. very proud. Liked the results on the weekend.. Port losing, GWS losing.. nice handy 8 point gap now between the crows and 3rd. pllllease don't balls this up crows! top 2 is a must
Learned: not alot
Hated: Sydney... why cant they just f*&* off!!!!
 
Liked
- Jack Viney isn't human
- Toby Greene getting himself suspended (hopefully for 2 weeks)
- Hogan starting to get back into form
- Dayne Zorko is just a freaking gun
- Harry McKay

Learned
- Geelong aren't all they are cracked up to be
- Carlton supporters are happy to pot other clubs players for diving yet go into super ultra defense mode when it comes to their players diving (SPS I'm looking at you)

Hated
- SPS dive
- West Coast, for the love of God it was Collingwood without Pendlebury and you still can't win over here even with a 20 point lead in the last quarter.
 
Liked -
Adelaide's pressure around the footy
Rory Sloane when not tagged
Melbourne's first half
Brisbane's young brigade + Zorko

Hated -
Having Fremantle in a multi
GWS - Stevie J and Health Shaw - both passengers

Learnt -
Swans and Tigers are the REAL DEAL
Dogs improving but the test is this week

3 flag favourites not in the top 4?

So who else besides Sydney?

- Such a exciting season its been a elimination final every week for us
- Jesse Hogan return
- Friday nights game Adelaide really brought the heat

Learnt
- Adelaide is in the box seat to make the Grand Final who will join them is still a mystery
- Was a bit sad the way a 12 gamer dismantled a superstar Nick its time to hang up the boots
- Eagles rival Port as the biggest flat trackers in the league.

Hated
- 61 free kicks on Friday night seriously? umpires piss off and let them play.
 
I'd be confident of beating the Crows in Melbourne but not at AO.

What I learnt though is that my side still shit the bed under immense pressure, saw it in the PF last year against the swans and Smith should've kicked a goal after the siren in the first final anyway despite us being the better team all year and if we were any real threat would've punished the hawks that night.

A finals like effort like 2016 is well and truly on the card this year too unfortunately.

there is more dignity in playing till you are no longer good enough then retiring whilst you still are.

I think it was a close call last year, and quite likely Leon pushed him to go on if he was willing. He was some chance of 300 games if everything went perfectly for him and us this year, but he's missed through injury and will finish in the 290's.
Watching him this year I cant imagine he'll go on, but until he announces his retirement it's not done I guess.
 
Liked:

The Richmond GWS game, a hard scrap which made up for the lack of skill (the rain bought it down) with spite and hardness...and Nanks goal.
BT's commentary of Adelaide/Geelong in the first quarter: "LOOK AT ADELAIDE!" in that dogfight on the Members wing.
Brisbane have some serious talent, they destroyed Carlton in the first half.

Learned:
Some teams have another gear which can be engaged in big finals, some don't. One of those teams is Sydney, look out top 4.
West Coast have a massive, massive issue which is starting to trickle west as well. Been getting progressively worse since the 2015 Grand Final.

Hated:

Some really stupid umpiring, what did Richmond vs GWS have? Like 20 frees in the first quarter alone? Just let it go you bunch of self absorbed oxygen thieves.
Sydney vs St Kilda and Freo vs Hawthorn on a Saturday night. When have they ever had good games together?
