Will27 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I think Freo have gone off the boil this past month. I think there's a bit of a gap after the Hawks, Syd and Geelong now. For Freo, to get to the GF, I think they just need to have Pav and co back in the side. It's that close though, it will be real hard to pick a winner in the GF. As we all know, it's on the day and you have to take your chances. Geelong didn't when the Hawks got them in 2008 and again last year against Syd. I think the injury toll has been too much for Freo to absorb long term. Adelaide is a decent chance against them tonight. Should Freo lose...good for the Swans . My fantasy $100 upset bet goes to the Brisbane game tomorrow though. Methinks you should put your Bradman on the WB for tomorrow's game. With Glass and LeCras now out, that makes 10 first starters. And away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooka Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 But this ASADA vs Essendon thing really needs to be put to bed, one way or the other. Yep. Either the players did take it or they didn't. So either a ban or not. Im sure all the teams outside the current 8 are factoring in that Essendon might lose their points David Evans has just stood down, might be a big bomb coming.

chooka Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Looking at the score in the St Kilda Geelong game... Chooka, I'm calling the ambulance for you now....just in case you blow a heart valve Nah I survived and watched the whole miserable thing. Even Melbourne didn't get thumped by such a large score down at the Cattery. Now who deserves that extra priority pick, the saints or the demons? Ist quarter was good all tied up at 1/4 time then the saints kick a grand total of 11 points for the last 3 quarters.

BookMan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Riled Robinson to tell all on HirdFormer Essendon high-performance boss Dean Robinson will break his silence in a paid television interview on Monday night, intensifying pressure on the Bombers as well as coach James Hird. Robinson has a diametrical view to Hird over what happened in 2012 during the club's administering of a contentious injecting program, and is ready to deliver a tell-all on the Seven Network in an interview with commentator Luke Darcy. Robinson, who was signed on a three-year deal in September 2011, is also planning to sue his former club, after he was suspended on February5, the day the Bombers self-reported to the AFL and ASADA. He resigned on Friday, with his lawyer David Galbally confirming that he planned to begin legal action in the Supreme Court this week ''for breaches of their duties towards him as an employee''. http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/riled-robinson-to-tell-all-on-hird-20130727-2qrac.html Edited July 28, 2013 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Gripping game so far in the final match of the round... Tigers pounced early... The ugly ducklings living up to their name with a slowish start.. Kicked back into the lead midway through the first term...

GrantSmith Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah the Tiges are not out if this game by any stretch, Tippett needs to fire up a bit more and throw his weight around.. Going to be a cracking 2nd half, and glad the wife changed plans at the last minute so I can catch it on the stream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcveigh was not happy about it lol K Jack is having a captains knock that's for sure, he looks quicker than I've seen him play this year... Reiwoldts had plenty of work to do and copped a couple of big knocks too.. Wondering if the Tiges are caught chasing their tails... Final term about to get underway...

Here are the results Afl TV tips....docx Great result for the Swans 47 points.. That'll do me! A lot to like about today's win. Even with the injuries the gaps were plugged. I would have to put Sydney , Hawthorn and Geelong as the three top teams now. Good to see Jesse White kicking 4 goals and building his confidence. He copped a spray from McVeigh and fair enough..he was a long way out and didn't turn and look for better options One other player I am really liking is Rampe in defence, getting better by the week. Unhurried under pressure and is making much better disposal decisions than his early games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Exactly, the somewhat permanent spot fillers have really sured up an otherwise damaging season. Gerard Healy and Roosey were discussing the chink in the Red & White army - defensive stock. We lose say a Malceski or a Smith or a Richards and the back six stocks are stretched pretty thin. But Roosey made the point that we have such a surplus in the midfield that they would be shifted to the back line to pick up the slack. I'd even stick Everitt in the back line. He's deceptively quick and can really give it a hoist... Tom Mitchell continues to impress and he too was subjected to a McVeigh spray last week.. Next week will further define the top 4 with Freo and the Bombers having tough assignments - Freo taking on the Blues (who are still in the race for the top 8 or solidify 9th spot bearing in mind Windy Hillgate still has to play out) in Melbourne and the Bombers taking on the Pies... Top 3 have relatively easy assignments: Hawthorn probably has the toughest facing a Tigers outfit smarting from a heavy defeat... Geelong has North Melbourne at Etihad.. This could prove the Cats undoing.. Swans have the Dogs, in Melbourne at Etihad. Be interesting what the MRP will surprise us with, have a feeling there'll be a few Swans waiting for a phone call on Monday afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Which swans do u think will be cited? I'd be favouring essendon for sure. unless there is some bad club news. Probably Carlton, but depends on freo injury list. Neither team excited me this week. Edited July 28, 2013 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither team excited me this week. I think Jessie White might get sighted for that nonsense with (I think) Ellis, after a late tackle - that should have resulted in 50 - on Lamb after a mark. Bit of not much, but this is the MRP. Grundy might get looked at also when Reiwoldt went down the 2nd time, he shouldn't, but as above, the MRP is the MRP. As for Essendon, heard they're ex High Performance Coach who was sacked a few days before the beginning of this ASADA thing is going to be dropping a bombshell tomorrow, revealing his knowledge on who knew what. Apparently part of his wrongful termination law suit. Not sure if the interview is on the show "On The Couch" or not but I think Mike Sheehan's conducting the interview.
