Agree with you 100% rob. For the majority of the game we were in control. I think it's just the times when Richmond were in control and converting better than us, that makes it look like it was their game more than ours. I hope we win a few more of these tight ones, and I think we will too. The boys...

Yep, flooding absolutely shits me. Maybe because the opposition gets the ball out of it easily and can score easily, but more so that it just doesn't look good. With that many players it's tackle after tackle and scrap after scrap. And the stupid umpires don't blow the whistle soon enough. Blow ya b...

Bloody sensational game. I am glad I decided to go. I am VERY proud that the boys didn't just give up, as they have in the past, and took the game up to Richmond when it mattered. The last 5 minutes were awesome. The adrenalin was pumping for the last 2 minutes or so (talk about a nailbiter) and my ...

I thought it (the free kick) was there, simply based on the way the rules are being interpreted/enforced this year. We get out fair whack of dodgy decisions in similar circumstances, so... ya win some, ya lose some. We had 2 more scoring shots after that decision, which could have easily been 2.0 in...

Same here

Sheeds should stay in my opinion. The rebuilding, although slower than any of us would have liked, is occurring and some of the kids we have are bordering on superstar status. Sure, a change of coach could be the thing that takes them to that status, but it could very easily do the exact opposite. H...

If I were Sir James, I'd take that as an insult.
Buckley doesn't even come close to our Sir James.

I don't see all the fuss about Judd. Yeah he is a good player but his teammates block for him 10 metres off the ball so he is always 10 metres on his own when he gets the ball. Fair point you make. I mean, where was Judd for the majority of their game at the Cattery? From what I heard (only listene...

Glad we agree on something.

Hmm it says "Non-transferable". Guess I'll hang onto it.

I don't do my tips til Friday but my thoughts are: As much as I like St Kilda (for dad's sake), I think they'll struggle to get over the line against Freo at home. I reckon they'll put in a big effort after the crap last weekend. They'll be looking to put that well behind them. Adelaide should accou...

Lets not get too ahead of ourselves Staggy, Melbourne haven't been bad as what their ladder position shows. West Coast accounted for them fairly easily. The final margin flattered Melbourne. Had West Coast kicked straighter, Melbourne would've been staring down the barrel of a VERY big defeat (ala ...

Coalition for me. Can't stand Elmer Fudd or Labor for that matter. My reason for not wanting a Federal Labor Government is simply who's going to "keep the bastards honest"? Labor Governments in every state and territory (correct me if I'm wrong, I plucked that from Wikipedia a little while...

I said it once, staring down the barrel of potentially another 2006. I'm sure theres many others that think it but don't say it. I've only ever said it once, and I retracted my comments where many wouldn't. So give us a break. It's not as if I'm one of the mob that come out every time we lose baggin...

I publicly retract my comments about being close to sending my membership back. I'll be hanging onto it. Just gotta take the good with the bad. :) Nah, send it back mate. Dont need bandwagon supporters like you. Bandwagon supporter? Hmm yeah, right. Maybe you should get to know me before making stu...

I've tipped us every week... so I'm relatively happy with a 50% return. :) Should've won the Carlton and Kangaroos games, but anyhoo, what's done is done. I'll get 7/8 this week (damn Saints, damn Hawks). The competition i'm in we have wildcards (get 2 a year, doubles ya score for that round), reall...

Ya must've been on something strong.
I don't think I've tipped Carlton once yet this year. In other words, I don't rate them.

And while we're still at it, anyone notice Stanton's skills?.......with both feet? Don't suppose we'll have anyone acknowledge that it's pretty good. Good when we win, bad when we lose. I guess its the way it works... when we win, there's very few bad things, when we lose, all the bad things come o...

All in all I thought it was a great game. Be great if we could string a few wins together against them (and in season 2007). We're certainly showing signs of being on the improve. We just have to get a winning spirit back and start playing the best footy we can, which I think its pretty awesome when...

Adelaide Brisbane Geelong Hawthorn Kangaroos Port Adelaide Collingwood West Coast Oh ye of little faith. :P Bet you feel like a dill now. :D Mine: Adelaide Essendon (YAY! Bout time the boys won so I got this one :D) Geelong St Kilda :( Kangaroos :) will win... Sydney Bulldogs West Coast
