Watching him run at the weekend I reckon he has lost some confidence in his hammy and this may be affecting his kicking as well.

And I loved the way Rooey fooled everybody with those kicks at goal.

I agree that at half time I was feeling pretty good. The worry was how they just turned it on when they needed to and ended up winning by 40+ in two quarters. Also rested Selwood and a couple of others. I don't think they have any injuries either.

It's going to be a very long six days. I share your concern. I thought Roo was hesitant again. And a loss going into finals is never good. Geelong seem to have got their September mojo going again.

I doubt that I will get much sleep this week.

We all think it is our year but it worries me that the bookies don't agree. They prefer Cats then Pies ahead of us.

Prefer Etihad. Any chance.

He was rested....or I assume that was the case........was very ordinary.

Any injuries to Pies?

Totally agree. Only problem is that two other teams are doing the same. This year's finals are going to be the tightest for many years.

I thought that last week and Geelong did.

Pathetic crows.

Had so much wind blown up their Rs that they will float away in Sept.

Interviewed on SEN, Ross Lyon says these events have not interrupted the boys at all? They all trained strongly, as "we can only control those things we can control".

Geeong play Pies and Dogs b4 finals. Big advantage to them win or lose.l

Definitely not loading players.

Don't like our "easy" run home either. Not good preparation for finals.

On top of the ladder tonight...............

Yesterday sapped my confidence because the Pies were so good. Howver ANYTHING can happen in finals, The H&A games are just a means to get pole position for the finals and to learn how other teams play. On both of these we are doing ok. The current top four are worthy finalists and any of these t...

Rather play them than other GF contenders in Sept.

Damn damn damn...I thought today was a "home and away" game. It must have been a Grand Final from reading comments here.

Caller to SEN said Saints and Cats had a big responsibility to football lovers in that they must ensure Collingwood do not win another premiership.

He added that Essendon should never be forgiven for not beating them in the 1990 GF......I liked it.

It is a danger game. The biggest danger is that we become complacent next week after our thrashing of Brisbane!

Would have liked a tougher run home with some MCG games in there.

That is how I read it.
