    77 35 Crows over dogs at 3QT.

    I've seen some surprising results but surely the good guys win this

    You have to think this ends the Dogs for 2017.

    Can't believe they let Sloan off the chain. Suicide

    Richmond comfortably account for GWS to cement their position in the top four.

    They have exceeded everyone's expectations so far this year ,
    With only two players on their whole list taken as top 4 picks , it's either been a remarkable rebuild , or they are playing above themselves,
    Jury still out I guess.

    Lions get a 4th win playing our fastest, sexiest football in years. Then hang on grimly. We're a good chance to escape the spoon now

    Never had a lot of love for Hawthorn, but two of the absolute best layers of the last 15 years are both retiring at the end of the year. Luke Hodge is probably my favourite player in the league, tough as fuck, composed, skillful, fit as a motherfucker, and has massive games on the biggest stage.

    And the other guy that made Hawthorn tick was Sam Mitchell. Another who is fucking tough (with a dirty streak, like Hodge. Lets call it playing right on the edge), just an amazing ball user who sat behind the contest, and won clearance after clearance, and at times, even in GFs made the game look like it was in slow motion. Also there was this:

    Best visual sledge ever. Hero.

    In the beginning , hawks were ridiculed for picking hodge with their pick 1, west coast picked up Judd with pick 2 and for a while he was the superstar of the competition,

    The Hodge selection was justified in the end

    Make that 2 points.

    Weird point system really. Doesn't seem to be any scope for 3 points or one point, eg no BPs or golden point, so why 4 for a win and 2 for draw when 2 and 1 serve the same purpose?

    Then the comp would only be half as good. Very clever administrators.

    I've looked up at this game twice. Both times to see us miss sitters. (I mean fuck Tex? McGovern?) ... but still 45-9 at half time ...

    So Richmond in my first year supporting them are following on the fine recent tradition of my other yellow (and yellowish) and black teams (Naki/Canes).

    Anyone with actual knowledge on the AFL want to give me an idea of what their chances really are?
