Nice to see Polak playing again

[gadj1976]

Fantastic to see Adam Thompson get a go. Hopefully he will get game time this week.

I think the Bullies will beat Geelong and I think Freo will beat Essendon. They are the only two I'm concerned about.

Interesting that Corey Jones and Daniel Harris are omitted from the North side.

My mate and I's syndicate bets:

Nice to see Polak playing again

Yep it is great to see that he has returned to not only cricket but good health in general he deserves a little luck.

Cricket on your mind there Bloods??

[Booney]

Where do you expect him to bat bloods, CHF/CHB?

[nuggety goodness]

Super keen for the Dogs V Cats tonight! considering Geelongs last 4 have been:
1pt win over Hawthorn
2pt win over Adelaide
35pt loss to Carlton and
5pt win over Sydney

i'm pretty confident my boys will get over the Cats tonight. Higgins we needed bakc in and Gia will add some more potency, just need our midfield to be able to run with theirs and we'll go alright!

Cats quite easily tonight. I'm also having a bit on Power to get over Brisbane too.

This one looks pretty much home!

very happy with that collect!!!!!

[Dutchy]

Go Roos

Wheres are the dickheads now that said Richmond have a better list?

Petrie is now a topliner, now in the top 10-15 players in the comp IMO, really hope Scotty settles him in the forward line next year, could easily be a 70+ goal forward

You've obviously been drinking mate, might aswell have a few more

Because of one game, over reaction????????????

[Dutchy]

still yet to see someone come up with a compelling arguement for Richmond

Havent drank a thing today, drank Grand North dry last night

Havent drank a thing today, drank Grand North dry last night

The Roosters don't need that money mate

I thought Richmond had the better list, I now reckon I get that one pretty wrong ... But imho (as much as I like him), Petrie hasn't displayed anywhere near enough to be in the top 10-15 players in the league

[Dutchy]

He has been sensational this year, our most important player now

Havent Richmond got 5-6 blokes over 30?

Petrie is behind many more than 15 closer to being in the top 50-75 in the comp IMO.

[JK]

:shock: He has been sensational this year, our most important player now

Havent Richmond got 5-6 blokes over 30?

Dutchy, Im a massive wrap for the bloke (although a bit of that still relates to potential), but there'd be at least 8 players in top 2 teams ahead of him, and then you'd think another 6 in the next 2 ... Im kinda in agreeance with WYC here, I think he'd struggle for top 50 (but believe he has the potential to make it)
