And what a fine club they are!
Can't forget the Carr brothers and ... well... meTurned out a couple of champions over the years. Ben Cousins, Simon Black, Jon Hay and Graham Polak just to name a few... not to mention yours truly and half of the East Fremantle side for the last 20 years.
I never saw a doctorj on the list! LOLCan't forget the Carr brothers and ... well... me
Everyone seems to forget Port Power in the mix for the finals.The club with the best winning record inthe VFL/AFL/SANFL and a 126 year history the envy of football clubs of all codes.As the great man Sheedy once said of Port. This is one serious football club.MMMMmm they can smell spring down at alberton
Hi AussiePaul, what a coach Matthews is hey. He has got some exciting new talent and they are playing like they did a few years back. Very quick to rebuild this team and still with plenty of experience left from the glory days (a good mix).
If these teams keep goin like this till last round it will be a ripper at the Gabba.
I wasnt very happy when i checked the fixtures on Sat to see who the cats play in R22 lol.
Kangas and Lions gonna be a ripper (hoping they injure eachother). Just kidding.
PRETENDERS- Coll, Bris, Port, Haw, Kangas
CONTENDERS- Geel, Sydney
PREMIERS- WEST COAST EAGLES
Reality check for a few teams come finals.
And heartbreak for the Cats.........again!
Weak spot for WCE, backline it will be your down fall against the cats.
The Eagles backline is actually very good. And they always have 3 or 4 options they can swing back there.A very big downfall against the cats. Spot on Mexican.
The Eagles backline is actually very good. And they always have 3 or 4 options they can swing back there.
It's more likely that the Eagles forward line will suffer. Can't see Lynch, MMm Bop and Mistaker standing up against Scarlett Johannson, Harley, Egan and Milburn et al.
And with the attacking midfield Geelong have, the Eagles midfield wont be able to attack like they do when their forward line isn't working.
I heard Trent West is going to be a gun as well.I reckon you should go for the Freo coaching role, just gotta learn the names of players lol (funny names)
As someone that hasn't seen the Kangas play much this year.........I am absolutely dumbfounded. How have they managed to win so many games!!! Have they had an easy draw??
The game against the Lions was one of the worst games I've watched this year. The skill level from both sides was very poor - but at least the Lions showed some enthusiasm. The kangaroos looked like they were on Mogadon. The disappointing aspect being that the Kangas didn't seem to have any idea on how to win the game. What was Laidley's game plan? They couldn't hit targets, they rufused to run the corridor, they didn't harrass or chase, and they had very few winners in any position.
What shinboner spirit??!!! If this was a taste of life without Glen Archer heaven help their supporters. Sam Newman joked on Thursday night that for a team that are sitting 2nd on the ladder they are the 8th best team in the comp. Based on tonights effort that is overestimating it.
Are there any Kangaroos supporters that can confirm how bad that loss was? Even though Brisbane did well enough I get the feeling that, like Collingwood, the Kangaroos saved their worse game of the season for the week the Lions played them.
Cheers

Hey Duckman I don't think it is a coincidence that both Collingwood and the Kangaroos have played their worst game of the year against the Lions! A lot of credit should go to the pressure that the Lions are putting on these teams..... tackling and man on man pressure has been awesome! The Lions defence has been outstanding restricting both the pies and roos to very small scores. The Lions team has finally clicked (who knows what triggered it!) after their very ordinary run earlier in the season and i really think the top teams should be worried ...... the final round match with the Cats should be hum-dinger! The roos were very fortunate that Brisbane was inacurate with their kicking tonight .... only converting 10 of their 27 scoring shots ..... the winning margin could have easily been 10 goals plus (even when Simon Black had a very quiet game by his standards)!! The Lions ran rings around the roos .........watch out Hawkes ......your next on the agender ....and the cats winning streak may be in danger in the last round when they meet the Lions !!!
I'm probably a bit cockie ......but as a Lions supporter i think i have the right to be at present....this team which has a lot of no names in it these days is playing levels above themselves and I'M EXCITED about the future .... i can feel a premiership coming to Queensland again soon ..... if not this year ... definitely in the next few years!!! :dance:
Hi AussiePaul
How did I know you were going to post!
Look I agree that the Kangaroos should have lost by 80 points. That is part of my comment that the skills from both sides were ordinary. Brisbane looked so much better - but please admit that the real Kangaroos didn't turn up on the night. Yes Brisbane showed real pressure and committment. The game was a must win for one team only and it showed.
Brisbane must be thanking the footy Gods for the way the draw has unfolded. The Lions get to play Collingwood in between intense traditional rivals Essendon and Carlton (both 65,000 plus crowd) and a Vic blockbuster against Geelong. Collingwood had already pencilled in the win. Only 30,000 odd even turned up to the game!!! And I think it will continue next weekend - Hawks are ripe for beating.
Brisbane have had the benefit of other clubs not treating them with respect and general good fortune ( Kangaroos 3rd away trip in 4 weeks - Tassie to Brissie) and hence they get wiped.
Good luck to your side (but they hardly need it - the seas are parting for them) The harder you work the luckier you get.
