Hawthorn also having the bye.

THEY LIKE TO SEND UP!!!!!!!!

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Not confident. We won't get the 4 points and a couple of our players will get injured knitting or playing lawn bowls

I hear the MC are considering bringing back Thornton for this all important game.

I heard it's good bye season.

Forget about the result - its all about the attitude and effort that they approach the bye

I hope we don't get too cocky in this thread, we know how that can affect the teams performance

should drop bootsma and watson - forget about playing lucas

talk about being brave and not yet a certainty to miss the 8 and how the wheel is turning only been beaten by 12 and 10 points against good teams

talk about great preparation for Hawks match - ideal preparation

Our players are exhausted - need to get away from the pressure of AFL and bond with their families.
Poor didums can't cope with the pressure of playing AFL week in week out.
They deserve some time off after a good, no fantastic start to the season!
See them back next week when we can start doing it all again.

What's the odds for us not getting 4pts from the bye?

Current odds as per Game Day
To win grand final $34
To finish in top 4 $34
To make the 8 $2.75!!!!

Bookies are nervous when lot of punters put money on. They don't like to lose and rarely do, which is why I don't bet.
