Round 9 Other Games

Yep, but they just stuffed the first one up, hopefully Sydney or Melbourne or Adelaide pull off another one.
Yes it would be great if they lose two of those up coming games.
The brains at Collingwood is now coaching the Dockers, and he just gave Figgy a lesson.

That's really hard to figure. Are other sides missing as many premiership players as us!?

They include all players on the injury list lol including the duds. How about a list from your top 18, we have 7 out no other club has that many top 18 players out.
 
Maybe Sydney or Melbourne, but Adelaide? Forgetaboutit!

Apparently Adelaide hit some trouble a few years back and have been useless ever since.

Just as an aside - wow, Freo beat Collingwood, what a laugh, great way to end the round.

DS
I think Adelaide has to win one at some point. That game could be it.

4th is the best effort, by North in 2015 (next five opponents were 13th or worse) and again in 1997 (6 opponents 10th or worse).

Hawthorn in 2018 (7 opponents 9th or worse) and Fitzroy in 1984 finished 5th.

Lowest-ranked premiers with 8 games to go were South in 1933 and Essendon in 1949, who were 8th/12. Then Carlton in 1945 and Richmond last year, 7th.

I guess this year is a bit different given there are not as many games and the ladder is therefore still really condensed - the pies at 10th are only half a game from the 8 and only 1 and 1/2 games from 3rd and 4th so unfortunately they are still in it.

From their next three games - they should win them all but I am hoping the Dees with Gawn and their insiders can push them a bit as they (Dees) doesn’t have to travel as much and have an extra two days break as the Pies at the end of the compacted schedule where fatigue may start to have an impact.

This is as good as it gets.

The Mudpies being done by the lowly Dockers AND losing the free kick count.

There is a god after all.

Have a look at WC.
They didn't stop sooking, when they were away from home.
Now they're back home and firing, they will only play 2 games away in the next 8.
And to rub salt on it, while other clubs are scrabbling around the country playing 12 games in 1 week.
They have been given 8 and 7 day breaks between games.
Why didn't Hardwick start sooking too?
I miss Miss Hardwick and my cat.
My player's don't like the sun and want to use there own beds.
This year deserves the biggest Asterrix ever.

Beating them will make it all the more sweeter zips, and we will.

You won't beat them twice.
We should've had GWS in Queensland and we should've kept the fixture of playing them a month ago when they were struggling.
Now it's too late.

They can beat us in the home and away game, like the Cats and the Pies did last season, we'll beat them when it matters, in the finals.

Hope so.
Pity it’s not on free to air.
Still will listen to it and go nuts...

Was going to recommend same thing. You can even get a shared subscription with some mates later. I recommend Kayo for getting through these lockdowns. Being able to watch some of these extra matches like the Pies' loss today ... made my day lift!
Can also get a Telstra device/ISP and at least watch all games on your phone.

if you have Telstra just watch the games on the AFL App for free

If you have a Telstra account they were offering Kayo for 30 days free and then the next 11 months @$15pm... I signed up last week and it's ok when you get used to it.

KAYO 14 day free trial worth a go? Got a feeling it will be worth it Waiting.

AFL Live app 14 day trial for free. You can watch it in your phone or a tablet.

Just quoting you all so you get a notification about this, as I will spruik this until the offer is dead as I hate Murdoch and will never give him any money, here's a way to get three months of free Kayo (and it comes with the ability to watch on two screens, so my father uses the account from his place as well). I do this and then stream to my TV:

Fun fact: if you sign up to BetEasy (no need to place a bet), they'll give you a 3-month Kayo trial (no need to put in credit card details in case you forget to opt out). I've been doing that for two years now.

If the content was available on any other platform/provider I'd happily pay, however. Nice way to watch non-FTA games.

The best thing about this is that the ferals who support Fremantle will all get ahead of themselves and then they'll get let down again.

No, it was actually even better when tennis ace, Buckley, decided to drop Roughead who had been very serviceable in an effective combo with Moore down back, repelling and marking to stop most opposition KPFs from scoring against them. Major planks in acclaimed best AFL defence.

Kennedy clunks his hands on a few and kicks them from everywhere; so Roughy pays the price. Chopped by supercoach.

So Freo's Taberner gets to play on a newbie tall defender from Ireland (first AFL game?) while Moore is kept flat-chat trying to mind two opponents.
Result: Tabs kicks an easy four to win the match (he kicked straight too!).

Great choice, Bucks. Back to tennis. (Watching him ride every blow on the boundary-line was one of the absolute highlights; cannot hide he is NOT Mr. nice, cool guy when the tide goes against him]

i think we need to stop worrying about the pies and start worrying about brisbane and the eagles. 2 teams that get a massive advantage during the COVID season.

Bucks coached from the boundary because he thought it would give hime better "connection" with his players. Now he just needs to learn how to be authentic :mhihi
