Pretty difficult time for the diving bombers. Maybe if they win against Fremantle next week it will provide the kind of shot in the arm that Essendon need. The club needs to boost their performance and looked strung out against the dogs. I thought Heppell getting back to full strength might give them the hit they needed, but it appears Worsfold still needs to find a fix, something to supplement their attack. The football they played on the weekend was pure junk, and the players looked desperate for at least one of them to score. It's obvious their forwards need to spend more time in the shooting gallery...

Well it looks like the Bombers got the shot in the arm they needed. Killed Freo and booked themselves a place in the finals.

Having said that the incredibly close race for the last position in he eight and the jockeying for possies in the top four is amazing. Percentage is now line ball for a number of potential position 8 clubs.

Nice reverse jinx Bas

If Hawthorn can beat West Coast and the dogs fall over they deserve to be in the 8. Interestingly enough the dogs game is the last one to be played next weekend.

Great result by the Bulldogs today. Yes they are my team..

I follow the Crows and I am confident the dogs should win at Ballarat next week-I would not have said that last week.On form the dogs deserve to be there.

I'm not expecting Hawthorn to make the eight, Dogs will be there.

Looking for a big percentage WCE win this weekend still dont think the Hawks will lay down might even cause an upset.

The Dockers have made a few off field changes, Ross Lyons (coach) and Steve Rositch (CEO), out.

Channel 7 listed “Phil Inn” as an injured player for Collingwood last night.

(This week as one of their players used this name while playing basketball while injured)

Best GF in a long while, great credit to both clubs. In a season of close finishes, it was only fitting that we had a close GF. Dear AFL, tell me again why we need to change the rules?
Kid hustlr outlasted a fast finishing field, and is the 2018 Joe Medallist.
Sir Rumpole won the GF margin prediction again.

Start loosening up AFL Finals tipsters. Should be an interesting finals series this year! With the Swannies out, I might have to get on board the Doggies.

 

[SirRumpole]

West Coast for me. Or maybe Richmond, Brisbane or Collingwood.

 

[IFocus]

Gee WCE belted by the Hawks that wasn't pretty, will need some serious form reversal to be competitive.

I think the GF is very open wonder who is going to stand up?

Essendon Airport still exists and just like the Dons that means they can practise flying on two grounds.

Essendon (you never know)
Geelong (too smooth)
Bulldogs (too desperate)
Brisbane (at home but this will be a Grand Final preview)

 

[Miss Hale]

West Coast
Geelong
GWS
Richmond

Thanks Logique

Pretty profound win by West Coast. Will Worsfold coach the Dons next year? or the Dockers.

 

[SirRumpole]

Much ado about nothing ?

I watched the match and had no problem sorting out who was who.

Horizontal stripes against vertical, black shorts against white shorts.

What's the problem ?
