'I can only apologise, we weren't good enough': Red faces as Everton blast huge hole in Liverpool's EPL title hopes
i think A-League, or similar national league with a new name, will persist. Might not be as big as many of us hope for a while yet, but it will be there imo.

i was hoping for a bombers, dogs and magpies trifecta, and I got it. Sadly no bet on it.

i like the fact that Don talks and bats for Freo. Wish there was more WA fans on here.
With their defence and a trade steal firing, the Cats lead the ladder. The next three weeks will tell us if they really deserve to
Don, Freo Dogs could be a good scrap. Is is time to get kayo again so i can watch it. was going to wait to A-League was over as i simply have too many sports to watch.

nice title, and interesting topic. Cats look pretty good at this stage but still early.

I think bombers can be competitive this time around. Apart from port game, which i did not see, bombers appear to be playing with a lot of grit. Hopefully a good start and a bomber win.
Questions to ponder ahead of Round 7: Can Stringer play hero on Anzac Day, and is Port's gun midfield actually their Achilles heel?
I like that idea. Fairness and rotation would be great.

tend to agree with article. Sport seemed to be so much better years ago, but maybe i am just getting old.
I was way more excited watching fa cup in 1970s and 1980s.

pies v dons thursday is a great test for bombers. Will be tough, but here is hoping we can match the pies who played very well today after a slow start.
Footy Fix: The Pies might have embarrassed Port... but they're still not back to their best. Yet
I never thought we would be 4-2 after 6 rounds.
Footy Fix: Ferocious, fast and fantastically coached - stuff the controversy, let's give the Dons the respect they deserve
well done bombers. Hopefully we can beat pies next Thurdsay.

Footy Fix: The Saints were ten times as rubbish as the Dogs were last week - and it's worth working out why
Chanon, i thought we would lose to both saints and dogs so great to be wrong both times.

very true, reasonable consistency over the season counts.

Lions beat Dees well last week, so i think they might still be ok. Top four is key for any team come from finals time.
