    Yes, I would have liked to have seen a replay or two, of that penalty. If it was against Ellie Carpenter, then the contact appeared to be minimal.

    Sweden have been on a year long unbeaten run, so will be a hard opponent, but the Matildas seem to be gaining momentum.

    The Norm Smith Curse is a big weight to carry for the Dees and we all hope the Al Clarkson Curse lasts 60 years for the Hawks.

    Saints were woeful last night, I think we have them next week? Jury is out on their list management decision to build a foreign legion team, might be that making finals last year was an abberation.

    They're a total enigma to me. They are often woeful, but their good games, or quarters, are very good. About the only definition conclusion that I can make, is that if Jack Steele decided that he wanted to play for us, then I would be very happy.

    I remember when journalism was a noble profession that delivered us facts and news. Nowadays it’s all about clicks and subscriptions and bugger quality and never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

    If we don't make the top four, I really want West Coast. They're currently behind Collingwood 61-11 at half time.

    Eagles losing by 50pts at half time against Collingwood???

  10. #22
    The WC Eagles are a shadow of a football team at this stage of the game. Still, they’re only 38 points adrift.
    Make that 51 points.

    WCE are a joke. Easily the most over-rated team in the comp. How anyone saw these imposters as legitimate premiership contenders is an utter mystery.
    As is their 2018 premiership win. Most undeserving premiers this century. I hope they don't forget to invite Mason Cox to the reunion.
    Be nice to see them slide out of the eight.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

    Sorry, I have to disagree. The 2016 Bulldogs premiership is the most undeserved in my eyes with the lopsided free kicks throughout the whole finals campaign. Who knows if they would have even made the Grand Final with more even officiating?
