Perfervid scrutiny of Round 15

[Spargo]

Maybe now so many people will stop automatically putting the Swans in the GF this year.
It's the most even top 8 in living memory.

Might be even but I still think there is only 4 sides maybe 5 that can win it this year

Disagree - I could make a case for all 8.
Even West Coast if they win a couple on the road & get on a run.
North will be much better also when players start returning from injury.
WB's showed tonight they're capable, Crows currently the in form side of the comp.
Hawks naturally, Swans & Cats have a wealth of talent & the Giants can beat anyone as well.

West Coast will have to win 2 finals on the road so that rules them out for me. I just don't see the Dogs having enough class to go all the way just yet and feel they are still a year or two away from really challenging.

Adelaide 2nd with a win tomorrow. Things falling in place for them with Geelong and Sydney dropping games.

Crows can only go as high as 5th with a win tomorrow but reckon they will be top 4 by seasons end

Can go 2nd but would need to make up 10%, just a win will be fine

[Brodlach]

Lucky this game is tight because it is absolute crap

Lucky this game is tight because it is absolute crap

Eyes and ears both bled, what a horrid game of footy

Yeah that was a shit game of footy. Although it was great to see Jack Silvagni debut tonight, in the long sleeve aswell that was a nice nod to SOS.

So as Jim said they can only go to 5th.
107 point win to go 4th, 132 to go to 2nd

Disagree, think we can rule out teams on the spudness of some players.
Players who I think will never be premiership players, while these players are in best 22s their teams cant win it.
Cheney, Biggs, Firrito, Thomas, Petrie, Jetta, Kersten and Palmer. Swans cant win without Tippet and need Reid too.
If these players are on the outer when finals come around their teams can win
Nothings changed for me from early on, just play Swans v Hawks now

[bennymacca]

If Spangher is a premiership player the rest of those can be

[daysofourlives]

If Spangher is a premiership player the rest of those can be

But they wont be. Hawks were so good they carried Spangher and Shoenmakers to a premiership. These other teams are not in that league, they are genuine depth players only

[LaughingKookaburra]

Couple points;

1- I am watching the replay of the Swans v Dogs. I heard the SCG called a pretty ground. Looks like a continual patch up job and looks shithouse in my books.

2- this goal line technology is a joke as we know. If they are going to do it they need to have synchronised timing on numerous angles inc goal line both sides and hot spot technology on one of them. Also is there cameras on the behind area? Hate to see a team lose by a point on the final siren.

[Robran]

Wow wish we can have these last 5 mins back hartigan still does some dumb sh#t.. And doesn't Jenkins look like his on NOT

[Brodlach]

Dees look like they will open us up IMO

[bennymacca]

Melbourne look like they are on here. Crows smashed it early and thought it was going to be easy. Our skills have been poor so if we fix that up we should be ok.

Jayden hunt looks like a jet. Giving them real run off half back

[Robran]

Our disposal is woeful playing like a bottom 8 side terrible to watch.. Dees should be 5 up with there dominace this quater.

[JK]

Dees look to be playing similar style to the Crows. Despite a few errors from both its a good game to watch, heaps of leg speed on both sides, shootout well on the cards. Crows need their 3 key forwards to start hitting the scoreboard. Although before that they need to start winning some centre clearances.

[bennymacca]

They are working much harder than us at the moment. Seem to have extra numbers at every contest.

[bennymacca]

What a cracking kick by Atkins. Made up for his earlier error

[Spargo]

Kyle Cheney is a very ordinary footballer.
