Reckon the Crows and the Dees are both good chances to knock off Essendon and Geelong.
The Crows look like they are playing the Dees, what a terrible away strip the Bombers are wearing.
Yep, and if we don't win it I'll be rapt if they do. Just hope I'll be allowed to cross the river to celebrate in my old stomping ground.
Richmond winning the flag could be taken as an omen things are returning to normal. Ratten winning one would give you hope.
The Saints aren't a surprise to me.
When we played the Saints last year for probably around about a quarter and a half they played on at every opportunity, they ran hard and they scored relatively easily. 1st half they kicked 7.0, that wasn't because they were kicking them out of their arse but they were kicking deep inside F50 and getting 1 on 1's. Its not a coincidence that in a lot of games this year their conversion has looked very good.
We came back at them in the 2nd quarter and Richardsons sphincter tightened and they went defensive. Right at the start of the 3rd I remember Dunstan receiving the ball just outside our F50, he turned and didn't have a Tiger in front for about 50m, he turned, he stopped, he propped and waited, waited, waited and then ended up booting it long and I think we intercepted.
Ratten was never going to do that, he has always been an attacking coach and was exactly what they needed. Adding even more speed through Jones and Butler has just complimented what they already had.

What a fiasco this game between the crows and Dons. Both are looking hopeless at this stage.
Have you noticed the huge ground space between the players. More than half the ground has no players in it.
No wonder there are so many scrappy ball ups and whilst I'm at it the frees to Bombers are 8 to 2 at quarter time.
Reckon the Crows were robbed of a goal as well, as it was given as touched. To my eyes it was not so.

It'll be interesting who wins the free kick count. If the Pies do, it'll confirm that they've got the umpires on the pay roll.
