    @barbarian jeez we have one loss and now we're not in the top two flag favourites? Ouch

    I don't think you are, but I'd have you third.

    The Bulldogs look the class team of the competition, and though losing Treloar is a blow I expect them to show up against Melbourne and prove it. They have guys that have won a flag before, they have a coach who has won a flag before, and when they have been on they have blown teams away.

    I like Melbourne, they have played great. Expect them to be there at the pointy end. But as it stands, in a prelim final against Brisbane, I think I'm just tipping Brisbane to edge it. I think it might be their time. They look like a hardened unit who have now been there a few times before and fallen just short. Some of there key guys have taken a step up, and Neale hasn't even gotten out of first gear.

    I'd also think Geelong ends up there or thereabouts.

    Now you take that back, sir.

    We well and truly beat the Dogs last night. We overwhelmed them in the first quarter and never let them back in. That was a statement win.

    Lions next week!

    @shark I might have to, it certainly was an impressive win.

    It was such a shame there wasn't a big crowd to see it. Was a tough game to watch for that reason, though I doubt the Dees fans minded at all!

    @barbarian Yeah shame about the lack of atmosphere and all the whistle front and centre. Some canned crowd noise would have been good.

    Swannies get up, only got to watch at half time and after the lander game finished, was enjoyable though!

    @kiwiwomble Classic Carlton loss. Show up for three quarters, get in the fight, then phone it in for the last quarter. Not fit enough, not good enough.

    Melbourne v Lions this week will show if we are really at the level, because right now the Demons are setting the pace.

    We've jumped to 3rd after thr Cats struggle past Collingwood

    Good to see the Suns perform to expectation against the Hawks.

    last Friday was supposed to be as well, but your lads hammered them.

    I hope that doesn't get repeated.

    It'll be tough to repeat that 40 point first quarter!

    Am going to have to go back and watch the last quarter of Bombers Eagles game - looked like a foregone conclusion midway through 3/4s

    @shark @mariner4life lets hope the game has a crowd, especially for the Dees.

    oh is this being played at Ballarat or something?

    Don't send us to Victoria, it's not clean!

    For some reason I thought this was going to be at the MCG.

    Found the below:

    “The three matches initially scheduled to be played in Melbourne in round 12 will all be moved, and Friday night's blockbuster between ladder leader Melbourne and third-placed Brisbane will be shifted from Alice Springs, most likely to a Sydney venue.”

    So the shift from Alice to Sydney is surely to do with this games' elevated status and the Dees looking for a bigger purse?

    @shark maybe but I've got mates who planned a trip months ago to Alice but covid has scuppered that because he drives trucks through Victoria.

    In what should be a slap in the face of the vic-centric AFL, the Dreamtime game between two Victorian sides that had to be moved to Perth, has sold out already, without any travelling fans.

    Look AFL House, your comp really is national, stop basing every fucking decision around Melbourne.

    That will be a pretty cool atmosphere on Saturday night, and if recent form is anything to go by, it should be a bloody good game too.

    Feisty start to the Dees vs Lions game. James Brayshaw is hands down one of my favourite commentators in any sport.

    I hate that a goal that hits the posts on the way in is only given as a behind.
