Round 3....and they start to appear.

[Brodlach]

I dont think he means you specifically Jim, but a lot of people did have us at 0-3

two teams that were finalists last year and one that everyone had in their finals at the start of the season is hardly average opposition. Though Richmond and Port hardly played like finalists, so maybe it wasnt as hard as everyone thought originally

Correct didn't mean you Jim, choose the wrong word, should have used most people.

Benny reckon you said you would be happy with a 4-6 start after 10 games, should get that at least?

[Spargo]

Saints have one of the oldest teams going around this weekend!

Reckon they'll win tomorrow.

Yeah I reckon they're a big chance too (lol watch em get pantsed now)

[Corona Man]

I've been the kiss of death this season so far with my footy tips. I tipped the crows with a degree of confidence... Even that didn't work!

This is what i had for our next 7 games, with my new estimates (old estimates in brackets)

Syd (h) 40 (40)
Haw (a) 30 (10)
Freo (h) 60 (20)
Dogs (a) 30 (40)
Geel (h) 50 (50)
Gc (a) 60 (70)
Gws (h) 60 (80)

thats another 3.3 wins in our next 7, which would give us 5.3 from 10. So we are already 1 win ahead of where i thought we would be

Excellent last quarter at the SCG. Giants play some great footy

Port look like shit at the moment.
Richmond well...............they look as they are struggling as well.

Still the crows looked good. Played well. I tipped the crows as I thought they would be too good.

[stan]

It's over, great move by the paper Tigers to sign up Hardwick, they are going nowhere.
Good win by the Saints too

On the saints they have improved quite a bit and seem to be heading in the right direction.

[stan]

Charlie Curnow, like the look of him. Blues just need to hold here a bit,

[stan]

Thomas just a few minutes he would like to forget. Found the ball and every touch was stuffed.

[JK]

I know it couldn't be an easy one to adjudicate, but FFS I wish they'd get some consistenccy about these short passes being called play on

It is consistent. Do it in the back half its 25m, in the forward line its 8m

[woodublieve12]

I reckon Luke Parker could have 9 Brownlow votes after this round... On fire

[Chuck Wepner]

Maybe you blokes are top 4 material BMac?

Bit early for that I think, they are going very well but have played a couple of pretty ordinary sides.
They will definately play finals but not sure of top 4 material yet

I think It's definitely time we all learnt to spell the word DEFINITELY the right way.
And FWIW I think the Crows are a definite GF threat in 2016

[JK]

Fair goal from the Pav

Just go back to 10mt. Has been one of the most pointless rule changes ever and even after all this time is not adjudicated properly.

[bennymacca]

i think 15m is good, but I do agree that they seem to change interpretation quite a lot

[gadj1976]

Changing the rule from 10m to 15m is just nuts. And I really can't stand changing rules when it's subjective. When they changed the mark rule from 10m to 15m I said it was crazy because all you're doing is changing the subjectivity. It's still grey. NUTZ!

[bennymacca]

every rule is grey though, thats like saying dont have a 50m penalty. Or a holding the ball rule.

I think in general it is a good thing, just that they too often make it 20m in the back half
