It has done for a while.

Who else did you want them to drop?

Well, that's the point.

They don't have any.

No, I just think at some point you're going to have to prioritise those young players and find out whether they're any good, whether they're trying to gain players because...

You're going to keep going back to Howe and Pendlebury every time.

And these players is not going to get you where you need to in the future.

Not to say they're not extremely well coached and well drilled and they're hard to score against.

I get it.

But, I mean, Geelong should be winning this game.

Beaten, but this time not defeated.

Carlton find the requisite fight, reversing their mode and maybe even their fortunes in a spirited fight back at the Gabba.

Bevo's fine line between pleasure and pain.

The Bulldogs nail the two-minute drill to rescue the points and return to the winners list while Port Adelaide laments another narrow defeat.

And Fremantle win the credential tester, overwhelming Hawthorne in a fascinating high-end battle that lit the fuse on the weekend of footy.

This is the Round 9 edition of Crunch Time.

Three games with so much to discuss and we are fully loaded to do just that.

Crunch time for the all-new Ford Ranger Wolf Track V6 and Azzito, Azzito brushless power tools built to work.

Azzito, do you.

I'm very excited to say we have brought them together in the Adelaide studio to thrash it out.
