Essendon gave a press release saying they would be terminating commercial relationships with all betting agencies (they didn't have any to begin with :laffo:)

Yeah they said they were against betting advertising not pokies. I'm pretty sure they love the pokies as much as everyone else (except north).

Counterpoint: The Dockers have named their strongest side in weeks. I think this is their first ever minor premiership on offer.

I think we will want to put the biggest score we can on the board and get back to the early season form.

If Freo win this one it'll even the derby ledger to 21-21, haven't been this close in 20 years.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
With such a young team being still in the finals race until tonight and having run some really good sides close in a few of their losses, I think Bucks is definitely safe.


Coach talks - Dew has turned down going any further in either the Carlton or Adelaide roles. Stewy Dew to Essendon at the end of next year? One can hope. Hell, a potato to Essendon at the end of 2016, one can hope.

Turned down Carlton, hasn't been contacted by Adelaide, is what he said on the radio. People seem convinced he's been promised the Sydney seat in a few years when Horse eventually leaves.

Also a suggestion Don Pyke isn't interested in leaving WA.

It's a weekend with a top two cross town fixture, one team needs to win to cement second, the other is clearly first on the ladder: Going to be a blindingly good game...

Eagles not playing:

NicNat
Macgovern
Lecras
Selwood


So the quality outs are four guys who could make Melbourne a top four contender...

Freo ins:

Johnson
Fyfe

This years Brownlow favorite and an all Australian who consistently week after week takes apart opposition forward lines...

Is he in the best 18? It seems pretty petulant to leave him out as some kind of punishment if it hurts the team.
