    They all do.

    All we need to do is win every game between now and 29 September.

    I did note while watching the replay that the swannies seem a happy bunch at the moment... Kizza and Millsey were smiling the whole game.
    I know it helps if you're winning, but they just seemed so happy to be there!
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    If we were converting with the same rate as Melbourne, we would have scored 26 more goals or 130 more points. Percentage would be 1686 � 100 � 1342, or 125.6%, or about 10% higher.

    That percentage would have been to put us within range of Port Adelaide's percentage of 132.1 and given us a margin of comfort ahead of Geelong and GWS. Our percentage is already the third-best in the competition, but not by much.
    Our accuracy in front of goal is the only thing I'm worried about.
    I don't think of it as having 10 points... I think of it as losing 60 potential points.
    Then again... Collingwood got to a granny on the back of a season of kicking thousands of behinds.

    I might be greedy, but I'll ask for one extra days worth of wins

    I thought I actually heard the ump explain the free was given because "it was a rugby tackle".

    I didn't actually realize that tackling in the style of another code was an instant free.

    No he didn't. Turnovers at halfback, out on the full, missing gimme goals. Needs to be playing NEAFL for the next 8 weeks.
    C'mon Chels!

    If Reiwoldt had taken that mark that Towers took we would not have heard the end of it from the commentators. It was brilliant and should have received more attention.

    Sorry... compared to the rest of his season, he had an awesome game.
    Better?

    Common sense prevails at the MRP, if not in the C7 commentary box. Heeney cleared.

    Absolutely agree. The silence was deafening.

    Yes, no case to answer. And as an added bonus, Toby Greene got two weeks. Ahhh, my faith in the AFL administration is restored...for at least the next hour or two.
