Carlton win thanks to maybe the best after the siren kick I've ever seen. The free kick was dubious, but Carlton had the wrong end of the decisions all night so karma paid them back in the end.
I think they are destined to finish 10th or 11th, but it's nice to see some sort of improvement from them this year.

How do the Dees get a towelling from Port, who just lost by 60 themselves, and then win three games in 10 days or so?? Crazy form, but now firmly IN form. Love it.
I think the short turnarounds between games , teams living away from home in hubs ,has created more ups and downs In cohesion, fatigue levels, form fluctuations etc than you would normally get
It’s generally created more uncertainty
-
Geelong look ominous all of a sudden. They absolutely towelled up Port Adelaide on the weekend, it was as one-sided as it gets.
West Coast continue to dominate back in Perth
Collingwood are in freefall, and may drop out of the 8 very soon. Although who comes in out of the inconsistent teams just below them is anyones guess.
-
It's going to be a see-sawing comp until the very end. I think Port were just tired, but who knows. West Coast look like world beaters in front of a home crowd, but back in the Queensland hub? Who knows.
GWS have a classy roster but can't put it together. I'd have them coming in for the Pies in the 8, once Toby Greene comes back.
All it takes is a run of three good weeks and that will likely be enough to win the flag.

Tom Lynch is a total bitch

The Suns defended bloody well for three quarters. Made us look right average up front.

Teams are following the Buckley method of playing us , flooding back in numbers , and We are struggling with it ,
We Need players back , I think we get Houli and nankervous back next back, Edwards , Prestia and Astbury still a way off ,
Lynch needs to pull his head in , he does have a knack of getting under his opponents skin then beating him , but he is pushing his luck and playing too close to the edge
-
The AFL's judiciary is a fucking joke.
Lynch had two reportable offences int eh game. Got a fine for both. On the back of diddly squat for his whack to the back of the head of Witherden when he was laying on the ground
The AFL and Lynch are both piss week.

About as weak as Collins' soccer dive.

Hilarious when he hit the ground like he had been shot 10 seconds after the love tap to the guts, when lynch was on a lead and he realised he couldnt go with him ,
the tough guy act in the rooms was impressive though

I dont condone what lynch did , but the fine was consistent with other similar incidents ,
the AFl have dug themselves a hole by allowing this sort of weak stuff to go unpunished previously , and couldnt view this one differently just because of the media hype it created

for 2 fines in the same game, after a fine 2 weeks ago, at what point do you get suspended though?
The "media hype" is because a serial offender is allowed to keep doing this shit with repeated slaps on the wrist. And, while most probably not the case, there is a "big name/big club" deduction that looks to be in play.

I also think the media hype is because it is a big club , I remember mike Sheahan saying Richmond and collingwood stories sell more papers ,
I would say he is on thin ice now , like Gary Ablet last year, and Abletts were worse because of head contact with elbows and didnt get suspended until the third incident
they seem to take a much lighter approach to body contact . if it was head he would certainly be gone

close, if not great game yesterday @ACT-Crusader
As usual, we created enough scoring opportunities to win 2 games, miss shot after shot, kick 14 behinds, and nearly lose.
we are not a contender, no matter what our league position says. Straight sets finals exit looms again, for the same reason as last year.

the bloods we're painful to watch on sat, we're really dynamic in our own half, handball, handball, long run, handball....then blindly bomb it into the 50...i dont know...maybe keep doing what was working, seeing as our key goal scorer is a small forward...bombing it hoping for a mark...doesn't seem smart
