Round 19: the other games. Still interested.

This game is being seriously marred by the umpires inability to pay holding the ball against Geelong.

[i'm-uninformed2]

My man Liam Baker did his little rat thing to win that game for the Tigers.

[Thunder Shaker]

It's good to see the Eagles playing out the game by outscoring Carlton after half-time.

[dejavoodoo44]

Quite an uninspired first quarter between Brisbane and Geelong. The only real highlight, was Lincoln McCarthy snapping truly from deep in the pocket after the siren and then high fiving an excited young fan.

Tigers get over the line despite some hideous decisions going against them with about 6 minutes to go.

And the Eagles slightly outscoring Carlton so far in the second half. Not by enough to be a chance, of course!

Tuned in late, thinking that Hawthorn might do us a favour. How dumb am I? Oh well, at least West Coast are winning the second half.

Seriously Hawthorn you couldn't last 1 more minute! ????

Mcqualter will need to make finals to get Richmond job.

[Sandridge]

Eagles heading for a defeat that could be as big as the one we handed them - 82 points down at half time.

And Hawks beating the Tigers by 5 goals nearing 3/4 time!

[SCGonasunnyday]

D. Grainger-Barras subbed out of Hawks with 0 disposals in 3rd quarter.

Interesting.

You'll have your wish by the end of the round and, after last night's performance, it would be hard to see Essendon reversing the positions.

Just hate complimenting the Poodles but they were way too tough and strong for the Bombers last night.

yes they flogged them in general play. Much too much pressure for Bombers. Not only that the bombers players couldn't hit the side of a barn. How many standard AFL passes did Merrit & Co miss. The only shining light was Nick Hine. If they don't value him maybe he should come North.

[Sandridge]

I would lol if carton finish higher than Essendon at the end of the year. Shut that smug Lloyd up.

[stevoswan]

Give him a break. If it's good enough for the teams to have a bye week, its fine for him to have one too.

I think i'm unimformed2 had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

[dejavoodoo44]

Does that mean deja gets a wild card round before the finals start?

I don't know, wild for me these days is a few glasses of red.

Don't love Essendon by any stretch of the imagination but really want to see them skewer the Poodles and put a big dent in their finals aspirations. And who knows? Maybe Beverage will get upset and smash something else!

At least give himself an upper cut.
