Only if Port win one, Melbourne's %age is much better than ours. Melbourne won't win another game.


Our idiots will find a way to lose to one of the bunny teams at home LOL. We are so lucky that there is no grass to guard at Cat Park or we would be ******. Seriously Scott get a clue.

Can I lock that in, Eddie?


I thought Essendon but they'll be flat as squashed dog turds after Richmond tears them a new one on Friday.

ADELAIDE captain Taylor Walker had no idea bitter footy media rival Kane Cornes was listening the whole time when he was slagging him off behind the scenes on The Sunday Footy Show.
The pair have traded barbs publicly through media interviews and social media for the past 12 months, culminating in Cornes’ declaration last month for Walker to hand over the captaincy of his club to star midfielder Rory Sloane.

Popular Footy Show panellist Billy Brownless on Thursday revealed Walker earlier this season — ahead of an appearance on The Sunday Footy Show — made his frustrations known behind the scenes after learning that Cornes was also on the Channel 9 show that day.

Brownless told Triple M’s Rush Hour, Walker proceeded to labell Cornes a “d***head” — having no idea his voice could be heard through every member of The Footy Show panel’s headsets.

Walker did a live interview with the Sunday panel from Darwin before the Crows’ massive 91-point thumping at the hands of Melbourne in round 10.

He said the relationship between Cornes and Walker had already festered out of control at that point.

“To the point where one Sunday we’re on the panel,” Brownless recounts.

“We were sitting there and the player was getting mic’d up. And I don’t know if he knew that we had audio through our headsets and it was Tex and he was in Darwin. And we go, ‘G’day’. And (host) Tony Jones goes, ‘G’day, the boys are here ready to go’.

“And Tex says, ‘Is Kane on?’ And Kane’s down the end there. And Tony goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, he’s on’. And he (Walker) goes, ‘Ahh s***’. And then he’s gone to his media manager: ‘He’s on. The d***head is on’. Not knowing that Kane can hear all of this.”

A month earlier Walker and Cornes chose to air their dirty laundry in public

Cornes slammed Walker’s inability to be able to stand up like a captain should when his side needed him the most after a poor performance earlier this year.

“Walker was hardly sighted in the first half of the upset defeat at the hands of Collingwood on Friday night,” Cornes wrote in story for The Advertiser.

“His lack of presence and mediocre effort at ground level in the second quarter was obvious and not conducive to a captain’s game.”

Walker responded by saying he couldn’t care less about what his critics have to say about him.

“Let’s be honest a few of those people with their opinions you put your head on the pillow at night and have a pretty big giggle at those comments,” Walker told Triple M’s The Saturday Rub.

“The guys that were pretty vocal this week did not worry me one little bit.”

Asked if he was talking about Cornes, Walker didn’t name names but didn’t deny anything either.

“You guys can cross your ‘i’s’ and cross your ‘t’s’, you know who we’re talking about,” he said.

Then again last month Cornes and Walker shared an incredibly awkward slanging match on The Sunday Footy show again.

So the way i work it out Port need the Crows to beat Roos today and also have Melbourne lose both their games whilst also beating Essendon next week to fall into 8th. Dont think Port can make up the percentage difference with North unless the Roos get spanked today with Roos likely to win by more than Port next weekend.
I reckon its a huge chance for both those scenarios to be snufed out today, think both North and Demons can win.
Melbourne win today the 8 is set

One for the "things that give you the shitz thread"....

AFL coaches and players who;
'
    Don't see the need to bolster the weak teams and even up the competition
    Try to influence the AFL into rule changes that enhance themselves personally but not the game
    See themselves as the rules committee

They're not there for the better-ment of the game. They are there to run the game for 'today' at the behest of the game itself. It can be run into the ground for all they care. The score of 35-25 will be the norm if they had their way.

The game needs people who see it in the grander scale, taking into account kids as players, kids as supporters, existing adults (as spectators), keeping people in the game, attracting new spectators to the game, existing members, tv audience, players and sponsors. Those who are 'in the game' cannot see the bigger picture IMO.

Just a thought.

Norths run came to a screaming halt this year.
Did they lose players to injury or just not good enough?

I thought they were a lock for finals?
