Karma. Made a jab at my friend during the match and told her Waite had kicked twice as many goals as her whole team combined. In the end Waite kicked more than twice as many goals as the rest of my team combined. My friend turned to me during the third quarter and asked if I felt comfortable with our lead. I told her about our second quarter against Brisbane, and then saw the same thing happen in the 4th. God it sucks going for a mentally soft team.
I dunno what to take out of this game. Guess our taggers did their part on Watson and Stanton? No injuries or dodgy umpiring to fall back on. Thought it was well umpired (or maybe that's because we got the rub of the green), besides the Stanton non-call, and the newer rules in the Garlett non-review and Curnow sliding call.
They really need to fix this. Absolute shambles.
That Thomas miss from 5 out was pretty funny.

They're going to be amazing next year.
They *always* play better from behind. Look at the comeback against Collingwood. Honestly, I can't remember seeing a game (against above-average sides) where they so obviously dominating any of the earlier quarters. I'm actually sure that on the radio today Geelong have won 2 of this year's 11 first quarters. TWO.
I noticed this in the North - Geelong game last year, they seem to be one of those sides that are fantastic when they are allowed to run the ball and play their preferred style but once you get stuck into them and give them a tough physical battle then they tend to crumble.
Once they sort that out they'll be a good side.

I think supporting a team really does a number on your ability to be impartial in games involving your club, but to the neutrals who watched tonight's match, would you say the umps favoured one team over the other? A great team would have won regardless, but I'm just curious.
Though I'm tipping the Bombers, I wouldn't be surprised. Collingwood are also so erratic that the Bulldogs could pip them, and, as mentioned, unfortunately Port are ripe for the plucking, and G Dubs could once again claim them as a scalp.
Could be an interesting weekend, this one.
I was also at a birthday, so I also missed it, but I also recorded it on Foxtel, and will also watch it later. We're twins or something. Shame we couldn't put the foot down in the last quarter and get those extra couple of percentage points that would've gotten us into the 8, but its good to see us back on the winners list.
Also, another whopper for me, and by the looks of it, plenty of others. Last week I was 1 of 2 in my family tipping comp, and 1 of 2 in my uni tipping comp, to get a perfect round - this week, 7 in my family got the perfect round, and about 50 in the uni one did! A few got it in our little GAF comp, too. There was a sneaky chance of a couple of upsets, but in the end, it was all the favourites, and easily. Easiest round for the year?

Disgusting abuse of power and disgusting original act if found guilty.
St Kilda footballer Stephen Milne has been charged with four counts of rape after a lengthy review saw Victoria Police overturn the results of the initial investigation following an incident which took place after the Saints pre-season 2004 Grand Final victory.
Police confirmed on Tuesday that the extensive review by the Sexual Crimes Squad found that the initial investigation had proved "substantially inadequate".
Milne, who has spoken in previous weeks about the toll upon his family due to sledging he has received from spectators during games referring to the incident, is believed to have learned on Monday that he was to be charged.
Milne and team-mate Leigh Montagna were investigated but not charged following sexual assault allegations following an incident involving two women on the night that followed the NAB Cup victory.
The review of the original investigation – at the behest of the Office of Police Integrity – followed an inquiry into 2010 allegations made by the detective leading the investigation that he had dropped the charges under pressure from other officers.
A senior officer in the region reportedly had a part-time job with St Kilda at the time.
Former Brighton Senior Detective Scott Gladman had told Channel Nine last year that records of interviews with the players were stolen from his desk and the alleged victim's statement was leaked to the football club.
Disgusting abuse of power and disgusting original act if found guilty.
Fucking hell. Utter disgrace.
Yep. But come on... "stolen from his desk"? Who the fuck keeps anything that could be remotely important, let along stuff INVOLVING RAPE on their desk? Shit's digital, there should be digital copies of whatever it was *everywhere*. Sounds like that guy was in on it as well.
Fucking pathetic. If Milne's still playing, he'd better get the fucking chop (which I assume he would, given that he'll hopefully be in the slammer).

Lol wut? Have u been in a police station before? There's paperwork everywhere.
No, I'm not an AFL player.
Does anyone think Melbourne are a bit of a sneaky chance against the Saints this week? Between the new coach factor, the Milne controversy for the Saints, and the fact that, lets face it, the Saints are pretty awful themselves, I spent a good couple of minutes contemplating tipping the Dees. Just couldn't bring myself to do, it though. Especially since I can't bring myself to tip against Port, so I'm already battling uphill for my third straight perfect round.
I don't give them much chance at all, they've lost a couple important players for them and bought in no one and while they have shown moments where they can be pretty competitive I don't believe they can sustain for more than a couple quarters. Saints are the better side. They've got a couple of important milestone games this week too don't they? (Dal Santo, Reiwoldt) Most teams get up for respected player milestones.

Did Geelong lose?!?
Holy fucking shit. I was sure when I checked that they were a good 30 points up... at least enough for me to think they would shit it in. Christ.
Edit: Fucking hell, that's downright pathetic. Didn't we fritter away a massive margin recently? Or got too far behind and barely caught up? (I could well be describing EVERY FUCKING MATCH). Yep, fucking pathetic.
I didn't pay any attention to the game at all, but to claw back a 52 point deficit... good on them. WTF Geelong, just complacent and damn stupid.
You know how much Geelong love their holidays.
They always seem to love taking that extra week off.Maybe it's a Geelong thing? I know whenever I take a few days off from work it takes me a good week or two to get back into the swing of things, ahahaYou know how much Geelong love their holidays.

My tips for this weekend
Essendon (by 5 points)
Sydney
Gold Coast
Port Adelaide
Geelong
Western Bulldogs
Hawthorn
North Melbourne

Hoping for some more Port momentum similar to the start of the year to carry us into the finals!
I was originally going with West Coast, but then I saw their ins and outs.

Tonight's game is a coin toss, though I feel pretty good picking Essendon.
Might go against Geelong this week. Form hasn't been great and Freo has been more than competitive whenever we play them. No Stevie J hurts. I'll need to see the sides first.
GC v Ade could be fun.
