    Why is the media referring to this as a brawl? At best, it was a melee. Waste of everyone's time. If the sledge had that response, it was a great sledge.

    3 weeks in a row , less than a goal ,

    if they were wins , outright first on the ladder, 2 were wins , first equal .

    but 3 losses , prob outside the 8 , its a fine line sometimes ,

    but 5-4 what they have, is probably more realistic where they sit anyway

    Good of the Crows to take their training run to Brisbane don't you think @mariner4life ?

    In all honesty I suspect you're probably somewhat inured to Lions results.

    @booboo i predicted 150-50 do we wete 20 points better than that.

    Just a team of kids, you can't expect anything better, but it's hard to see a future when Melbourne clubs come calling every year.

    We are the Swans bunnies. Whether it's home, nZ or Sydney, we just can't beat them. Buddy has had a day out every game since he moved.

    And yes what a finish by GWS.... 🙂

    Jesus what has happened to the Saints? That was poor on the weekend. Their next 5 look tough as well

    Hawthorn close to within a win of the 8...

    Brisbane lost their 9th in a row, and i can't see us winning again this year.

    Adelaide flying again (after Brisbane played them back in to form), and that was a good win for GWS, in Perth with half their team out. Comp still seems wide open to me

    What a club. Hawthorn are having a shit year, but still find something in themselves to set an AFL record.

    Anyone watch the Queens Birthday game yesterday? Best game i have seen this year i reckon, really intense, and enough errors to keep it fun. End to end stuff, both teams kick a hundred. And Collingwood lost. Great stuff.

    But, that result pales in to insignificance against the greatness that is the Lions absolutely hammering Freo. 10 goals? Fuck off home Dockers. A couple of days after we keep Schache, and then a bunch of guys re-signed today, it's actually starting to look up.

    Suns get a win on the back of the greatest of all time. Carlton knock over GWS. Bombers hammer Port. Glad i am not doing footy tipping.

    Melbourne now 8-5 and into 5th spot, at least for a day. Definitely starting to deliver, knocking off various hoodoos and looking a serious threat. They're still a little inconsistent but fuck I'll take this over the results of the last 12 years or so.

    @booboo massive holes in the gameplan. Crows no chance for the flag

    Fuck Shark this was so poorly timed! Since this post they've lost; lost their best player, had 4 guys "dropped" for drinking, and are about to lose a guy for about 6 weeks for knocking a bloke out.

    Culture looking very suspect. On field they are out of troops, and it doesn't look like they'll play finals.
