Wow! Richmond have held on a fast finishing Geelong after the siren to win by 3 points in a nailbiter. The Tigers are in fantastic form. They have won 19 straight games at the MCG. Geelong Cats have suffered 3 heartbreak losses during this season and things need to change dramatically next week against Hawthorn at the MCG.

One the AFL must do next year is showcase a showdown on Thursday nightm

Oh my goodness!

That Hawks vs Bombers game was such a stressful experience in the last few minutes as a Hawks fan.

We are somehow in the top 4 currently, don’t know how!

Wow, the first 3 games of this round have all been decided by margins of 4 points or less!

I wonder when the last time something like that happened?

Another one: Sydney beating Collingwood by 2 points in a nail biter. For me, this is heartbreaking for the Pies fans. Collingwood cannot afford to lose another important match in order to keep Top 4 chances alive. Eddie McGuire, Collingwood president is not very happy about this loss.

I think Kenneth Hinkley was more upset about his loss than Edward McGuire.

First time we’ve had 5 games in a round decided by less than a kick in AFL/VFL history!

Tomorrows results will be one sided

Another case of collingwood chocking agaimst a top team

Don’t blame him so much in those showdowns. Such a great game though. Quality football from both sides. If only Ollie didn’t choke would have had the win.

Ollie Wines should have iced the game, agree there.
Kenneth gets too wound up, think his post match press conference actually deserves a please explain and $10k fine.
Was a good game.

I haven’t watched it.

Yeah i can see what you are saying but other coaches have said exactly the same line of thing this year and if he got fined it would just showcase the afl shutting up non victorian clubs again. It did hit the post but adealide would have got it back and kicked another goal anyway.

Well they had another injury and it was Darcy Moore who was playing on Buddy. Once he got injured Buddy exploded so I think it’s very harsh to call it a ‘choke’. And I’m a Hawks fan that absolutely hates Collingwood, they’ve been wrecked by injury this season.

They still lost.

Still think you’re being a bit harsh on them. They’re better than you think they are.

Also, I think they will beat Port :wink:
