Come on Pies. Maxwell and Young in doubt for us. Waite in doubt for Blues.

It's hard to maintain that for 4 quarters and when you're in front by that much it's not surprising you would stop in the last quarter. 34 point win is great. Langdon, Elliot and Frost are great. Love our kids. 5-2 going into the bye is better than I expected going into the year.
Blues really have nothing going for them though.

I didn't watch the game, but I'm certain the boy's hearts wouldn't of been in it today. They've got Freo and Hawks on their minds, which is a bit of a shame, because it would've been a nice percentage booster if we were switched on. Still, a wins a win I guess, and good to see Benny Newton get a game.

Saw that. I don't know how he picked the Suns.
I'll be moving down when West Coast lose.

Tipping the Suns. Bullshit.

That Jack Viney decision is disgraceful.
Not to sound like I'm defending the decision, I thought from what I saw of it on the weekend was it looked like it was reportable. He hit his head and did some damage. I thought that alone would rub him out for 1 week as has been in the past. What makes this time different?

The poor kid was going for the ball and protected himself. Sure it was a bump by definition but it isn't anything like the bump Douglas did on Ward (I think?) the other week. I think it's a bit stiff that if it wasn't for the broken jaw, he would have probably got off.
Obviously it's just my opinion.
There are plenty of people who would hold your sentiments.
My only surprise was seeing this decision cause a lot more outrage than it normally does so I wasn't sure why exactly. Seeing in the past how they treat any bump to the head intentional or not I just assume they're getting a week regardless. They've been saying they're making people culpable for any damage they cause to other players so I'm not surprised Viney went.
People were declaring the bump dead only 3-4 rounds ago so I don't know why they're surprised in all honesty given Viney hit the guy's head with a bump, though I know it probably wasn't his intention to bump but protect himself.
The whole thing's a joke anyway.

I laugh every time anyone says the bump is dead. It's been dead a few times over the last few years. People do get carried away. I feel the AFL goes too far with their rule changes that are normally knee jerk reactions. For example: The interchange rule, sliding feet first rule, rushed behind rule etc.
The rushed behind rule is basically non-existent these days.
It'll be interesting to see what happens tonight then when they challenge.

amen
they can add a shitty knee jerk rule change but they can't take our 2008 premiership cup!

Viney got off.
Excellent. Should never have been looked at

had to be looked at due to the injury which i agree with but was more collision then bump, can't give penalties for that
hope this tall timber forward line of Sydney's gets chopped down to puopolo type sizes tonight

I changed my tip to Sydney in all my comps except I forgot about GAF. Looks like everyone will get 6/6. Bye rounds are the worst.
Port looked brilliant again yesterday. Dat Wingard!

Adelaide has played really hard and tough. If they were kicking well at all they'd be totally dominating. Every time Collingwood touched the ball early on they looked like they'd score but the Crows turned it around. It's been impressive.

Oh, there's a thread here? Then I guess I'd better post about how BLOODY FRICKIN AMAZING last night's game was! Go Croooooooooooooooooooows!
This is the first ever year that I've had a proper membership (thanks Mum, you're a legend), but I have previously managed to attend dozens of matches over the years back at the old ground. I've seen good games, bad games, great games, and terrible games... but this one really has to take the cake as the absolute TOP SHELF above them all.
I mean, it sure is nice to churn out a 116-point thrashing of a bottom-tier side, but I never dared to dream that I would get to see the DREADED PIES shown the door in convincing fashion when the chips were down, in a stunning reversal of previous form, joined by a fabulously packed house - I've got hardly any voice left this morning, so it's a good thing I won't be needing to talk to anyone today.
To come back down to earth a bit, we're still stuck in tenth spot and it's just as likely as not that we'll remain anchored there right through to the end of the year. But now that I can have the confidence that my boys actually GIVE A DAMN about going for the ball, I'll be satisfied with some exciting footy at the very least. Hope survives!

And failing that, I'll be more than willing to jump on the Port Power bandwagon and ride it all the way to the flag.

I didn't catch the game last night but it sounds like the Crows were just too good.
Our kids have been amazing so far this year but it was always going to run out at some point. Hopefully they'll learn from this and keep improving.

yeah it was a good game last night and even better when it results in a collingwood loss 
got some serious worries at the hawks right now.. gibson, lake, anderson, rioli and mitchell all out for extended periods, whitecross gone for season, hodge and shiels should be ok though.. gonna be a tough ask to get over the in form port next week..

Bruce was implying that the Bombers player might have been involved, until they showed the replay and he was no where near it.
