    Stupid article in West today re Kennendy better than Judd deal, and why would Schofields opinion hold any water, just gets a game each week.

    Would think both clubs would have been happy with the outcome over time, Carlton got Judd in his prime, Kennedy has built into a very good player for WCE - why the need to find a winner

    You might be right, but neither so has won a flag since the trade, so neither is a real winner yet

    Could become the only player in history to be booed by his own supporters in every game.

    And how do you not give Morabito a run by now, Yarren was given a chance on a very limited prep.

    The Lyon mantra I feel wears players down, and by the sounds assistant coaches too, the place may fall apart at seasons end.

    I would trade Ballantyne to WCE with a packet of crisps - he's done. If the rumour is 100% correct and I very much doubt it is, then Freo should pull him out of the team like Carlton did with Henderson, starting this weekend.

    On another matter, how good is the Bont, how good is Darcy Moore going to be, and how overrated is Stringer on current form.

    I expect them to lose all 3 and go out in the first round. Anything else apart from that I think they would be really happy with, and if they managed to win 2(no idea how), they'd be in good enough form to perhaps win their final...and delay the end of season trip by a week.

    And that is how you get yourself ready for finals...find a way to win the unwinnable....Not saying they are now in the hunt for a premiership.....but they keep finding ways to hang on and get the 4 points.

    don't look too much into it rio, GWS and their inexperience was the reason we got over the line.. I reckon the wheels will start to fall off for the Giants the next few weeks

    I still hate em!
    Wont get past week 1, as wont get a home final. 7th is a lock.

    Dees still a chance to make the 8. Will need to beat Cats in Geelong in Rd 23 to do so.
    I they do, they could be a silly chance of causing an upset or two.

    Swans have got one hand on the cup, imo.

    Today was a surprise but the next few weeks are a lot harder. I honestly can;t see them winning a remaining game, and they will finish seventh as a result.

    Okay, let's cut to the chase, pretenders everywhere as the cream rises to the top.

    Hawks are still the team to beat but the Swans are making their presence felt. No need to be a scholar to work out that the Flag will be won by one of those two teams. For mine it's Sydney who will knock the Champs over in the last game of the season .... so glad I took the $12 on offer before a ball was bounced - Go Swans !

    I'd love to comment, but just can't at the moment as it wouldn't be doing Freo any justice.
    Coach is no good. Players have all turned on him and want out - and they've signed him on for another 26 years.
    Club is a rabble. Could be headed for a darker period than that under Damien Drum
    On the plus side - the Bears suddenly look a decent club.

    ^^^^^ if so falc, then he should sign whatever is in front of him - probably nothing as his contract runs to end of next year - and work his butt off next year to justify another 1 year contract at the end of that..
    A small forward, over 27, with a poor defensive attitude ...... I think the weagles have enough of them already!!!

    The common query by Eagles supporters everytime they get an out of gaol win. Precious lot ;)  Give then their dues though, dug deep if it was a fluke at the end that got them home. Spud toweled up Dylan Shiel on Bounce for soft effort at end (and rightly so) only had to go hard and that goal does not get kicked,
