GWS just missed out again on their first win. In front with just over 3 minutes to go and a Pie first-gamer pulls a flukey kick from the boundary that went through for the winning goal.

Collingwood also won the middle game against the Dogs (shocking standard game apparently) but lost MacCaffer who did his knee.

C'wood were awaful & the Dogs woeful
Not a great advertisement for AFL footy in market the AFL are trying to win over
-
I guess the Pies and Dogs being so woeful at least meant the new home team was more than competitive. GWS will struggle to win a game but I think on their day when all their senior players and kids are on they'll have a defence and midfield plus the enthusiasm as a new side that will beat another struggling bottom side to score their first win say by the middle of the year. The top sides though will beat GWS by 100 points like the Suns found out last year.

We play them smack bang in the middle of the season... at their homeground too :o
Just sayin...
-
GWS have some bloody good kids though
So of their "gun" signings were ordinary in the first game ;D
-
Where was $cully? Hurr hurr hurr.
And how about those Bummers :rollin essenscum.

Where was $cully? Hurr hurr hurr.
He was brilliantly woeful - ;D

Been listening to SEN, sounds like it will be a tough match up in perth against Freo.
Bummers have struggled in both matches.
The wings on the hird plane starting to crack?! :lol :wallywink
-
Got to love the way the Bombers went about their business tonight.
Two games two massive losses and a thorough exposure of their inadequacies.
I know its only Round 1 NAB but that good will, cheer and optimism that came in when Jimmy came to the helm and swept them to a NAB final loss to Collingwood a 139 point win against Gold Coast and then a 16 point loss to Richmond in the Dreamtime game is evaporating quickly.
It will be great when the natives find that the Golden Boy will not be answer and start to turn on him.
It will be so sweet and oh so Richmond like. :lol :rollin :lol
-
Have picked them to finish bottom 5. The crash is coming..
-
Monfies... 6 inside 50s.. something like 4 out of bounds. :lol
Looking forward to trolling Slattery_20 on BigFooty all year. Top 6... :rollin
-
Same old same olds at Windy Hill :rollin. No depth in the midfield either :nope.
-
took the train in to
SubiPaterson oval yesterday to get my 1st fix of footy for 2012
I know its only preseason practice but a few of observations
the red and black are lacking leadership and a spark, tried lots of different things but none looked sucessfull, sure they played a lot of young boys but if thats their future then the only way is down
the Eagles look to have improved (again) on last year, their forward press was outstanding and they always back each other up and protect the ball carrier. Weedon has a good set of mitts Cox was brilliant Hurn shone as well
I hate to say it but they look to be top 4 again
the Freo saints showed plenty of Ross Lyons influence, too bloody defensive !!! kick ins always to the pack (and turned over under tight defensive pressure) no one was prepared to leave their man and be a lead up target for the kick in, Lachie Neale showed potential. but apart from Pav, the rest, inc big Sandi were very average
looking forward to Sunday fortnight, reckon on what I've seen this weekend we are a big chance to get our 2nd win
-

Ahmed Saad looks like a good pick up. The Cats played pretty junk in their second game and gave the Saints a sniff. People write off Sydney every year but they look their usual 6th-8th spot again.
-
Yep home wins on their little toy ground plus wins against the bottom sides away will get the Swans enough wins to sneak into the bottom half of the top 8.
Only two sides have won both preseason mini-games so far. If it stays that way then a win by us over Freo could make the Geelong game interesting. I think we are sixth on the preseason ladder at the moment by % with Freo just ahead of us.
-
yep 6th swans, hawks and freo above us cats dog roos and saints below but all on equal pts

One way to look at it ;D. I just thought they look in better shape than the rest who will be in the mix 7-10.
The Saints are walking away happy. But the Cats didn't play their older guns and I can't see them being two threatening with a cold NRoo and relying on two small forwards.

They could be 5-1 by the time we play them in round 7.. who knows what will happen between now and then but I wouldnt discount the fact that they could.. With only a loss to Hawks at Aurora
Their draw is not bad at all really, I think they could pull off 12 wins.

Just saw on Fox Sports, Krakouer has done his anterior cruciate in a practice game for the Collingwood ressies in a surprise return and won't play again this year.
Have not seen the footage yet but the sceptical in me says there may be more to this if there is no video of it as Collingwood take video of just about everything they do bar using the toilet. :shh
I just hope the kid's house is in order and he doesn't go down a wayward path again. :pray

Hall from the Suns... smokey. Going in my SC team!

Aaron from Hobart. Shakes his opponents hands at the start of the game and then doesn't see him again until he shakes it at the end of the game ;D

Nah all legit - done his ACL
Reckon he will go for LARS surgery
-
Re-watching the Suns v Lions match waiting for Poo v Scum to start. Karmichael Hunt looks more comfortable and more like a footy player playing inside mid, just bashing and crashing packs and tackling opposition ball winners.
Also Billy Longer... Doesn't look like the queer string bean from draft night. Got some decent meat on him. Lions look set with schLonger and the Burger :-\
-
Apparently the AFL have reduced the length of the halves because of the heat. It's 30 degrees FFS and they are short games anyway
-

35-36 degrees Coach and all they've removed is the time on component, halves now 17.5mins
Also increased interchange benches
-
my mail is 28 degrees. ;D
-
Ump's mail was that Port had to win a game. The last 5 mins were terrible. Hardly any footy played. Just successive frees, 50s, and technical crap.
-
what about that soccer goal that was touched on the line? Maggots didn't even review it. WTF is the point of a video review if you don't even use it.
-
Blessed with the 9er at half time too. If Blues play like this round 1 then we've got them by 45pts lol
-
Great afternoon of footy. :thumbsup
Two losses for the scum and 24 to go. :thumbsup
2 more in the NAB challenge and 22 in the Home and Away. :lol :rollin :lol
-
Umps stuffing making this poohouse to watch. can't go two stuffing seconds without them paying a free
-

I agree. The whole afternoon was like that. Hardly any footy played, just the umps blowing up their self importance and ruining the game.
-
So the blues lost both matches..
But how did they look?? Didn't get to see the game
-
We're 9th on the NAB Cup ladder :P

Sloppy. Over hand balled, miss kicks, fumbles, put themselves under heaps of pressure and looked generally junk.
-
Did anyone watch tonights game? Sounds like Campbell Brown didn't have a good night.
-

Yeah I did (got the replay on in the background now as I troll the net). Brown was worse than usual :lol. At one point he wanted to be the hero and shirt front Selwood, but instead cleaned up his own man.... who was running with the ball ;D
In other news: Bock looks dangerous up forward, Karmichael Hunt plays inside a lot better than the lock down defending position he had last year (won quite a bit of footy, dodged some players while carrying the ball and helped set up scores, and bashed and crashed packs around the footy/stoppages), Prestia is going to be another gun. O'Meara is going to be a freak if he's winning ball and making play at only 17... We're going to have to get our finger out if we want to have the wood over this lot during the next few years.
Cats played 11 snot noses in the second half and their kids wiped the floor with the Suns. Training in a premiership environment is a massive advantage and our young blokes are going to have their work cut out for them.
-
GWS are getting smashed by a undermanned hawks team. There season will be ugly which is no surprise. AFL should of made them trade or pick up more senior players given GC games was a farce at times last year.
-
It's a 11 goal loss (treating all goals as 6 points - 14.18 to 4.10) so it was obviously one-sided but not a 100+ point total annihlation. It was their first full 4- quarter competitive match and they've done better than we did preseason 2010 against the Hawks down there. They'll win a game or two this year against the other bottom sides. GWS main glaring issue is their forward line structure. There's no big key forward to rely on with Izzy still learning the game and the rest being kids. Never thought I would ever say a side needed Setanta O'hAilpan :o but they do need him. As with many young sides they push back and then there's no one ahead of the play to kick to. It's a temporary issue anyway as in 5 years time they'll have a top side - Coniglio and Smith are ready made; Cameron, Tyson, Greene and a couple of others showed enough also; Giles competes well enough in the ruck; speedy Wilson was their most lively forward. I actually thought it was a few of their senior experienced players that were disappointing today (ie. Scully).
The thing that sucks is Hawthorn are gifted a % booster win in the NAB Cup while others club like us have to travel to play Freo and Geelong. It makes a farce of the preseason comp. that some sides are given a carpet ride into a preseason GF while others have no chance due to the tough draw they are given. The AFL should at least make some effort to weight the preseason fixture. For example if you're playing GWS then your other games should be against top 4 opposition.
Btw Essendon and St Kilda game in Wangaratta has been cancalled because the Bombers couldn't get a flight up there. The Saints went by bus so they made it. The game has been called a draw. A right royal stuff up as I believe AFL rules state that a team needs to arrive at least 24 hours before the game starts if flying by plane.
-
I thought Tomlinson really came out of his shell in the second half. Might chuck him in my forward line in SC/DT to replace Brownie and load up another premium running defender.

You fail to show you declare and lose the points is my understanding of the rules.

I don't blame them. It was a 9000-10000 sellout and there would've been a few who would've travelled a fair way to Wangaratta from surrounding towns just to see two AFL sides play live.

Had a movie night but occasionally flicked to scum vs collingscum match. Looked average. Collingwood didn't look themselves, possibly not showing their plays off before round 1. The other scum bags played a really different brand of footy though than they used to. Seems like they've just taken '09-'11 Collingwood play book by kicking angles and the safety of the wings. Our midfield in full flight should open them right up if we play corridor footy.
-
Thanks Dwaino
-
Didn't bother with the tassie game watched Storm instead.
No foxtel at work but heard on SEN that Melbourne are the next BIG THING :rollin
-
I see in the goal kickers column, mitch Clark want there.
I assume he didn't play, but when he and the others return they are flag favs whoa fartin whoa :shh
-
wouldn't read too much into the Dees win, seeing the Pies made the allowed 7 changes for the 2nd half whiel the Dees made only 4.
Dees bascially beat the Pies reserves, only real gun for the Pies who played the enitre game was Pendlebury ;D
As for the Bumbling Bombers - they are a disgrace fancy wanting to fly to Wangaratta. A 2.5 hour road trip, what a joke of a club.
I hate the Saints with a passion but give them the 2 4 points at least they had the decency to play a scratch match for the folks up there
-

Could not agree anymore. AFL should be disgusted with the bombers for not showing up and playing infront of what was apparently a near sell out.
-
holy poo. Laidlers knee cap!!!
-
Tom Williams from the doggies has done his shoulder too.
-
Blues still looking crap. I reckon we're a real shoe in for round 1.

Collingwood got totally blown away to the tune of 77 points. I loved it :lol

Carlton got belted by the lions 104 - 40. Not even Judd could save them this week.
Going by the scores GC and GWS game is pretty tight.
-
GWS won 76 to 63. Be interesting to see who wins in the proper season when they meet again.

Dees fans already ringing up SEN calling their new coach a dud and crying on the radio saying after 40 years they've had enough and they won't renew their membership :lol.
Eagles have beaten the Saints easily tonight so they play Adelaide in the NAB Cup GF next week at Footy Park. Same old story for the Saints. All the work is left to their older players with hardly any quality youngsters coming through. It's a long way back down for St Kilda over the next few years.

ST KILDA veteran Lenny Hayes has been treated at hospital after being knocked out in the first quarter of Friday's NAB Cup match, while Collingwood captain Nick Maxwell has suffered a suspected ankle injury.
Hayes was hit heavily in an accidental collision with Collingwood defender Tyson Goldsack's knee seven minutes into the first quarter.
He was unconscious for a period but was awake when he was carried from Visy Park by trainers.
"Hayes has been knocked out, with no other apparent injuries and taken to hospital for observation," St Kilda tweeted after the incident.
After being taken to hospital, Hayes was given the all clear before returning to the ground.

Yep so come round 1 when the Dees smash the Lions at the G minus Brown and Merrett all those in the MCC will wait a little while longer possibly two weeks before reality sets in again for the 48th year in succession confirming their reservations at either the Mt Buller and Mt Hotham ski chalet. :thumbsup
I wonder in round 1 how many of those MCC toffs know who Mitchell Clark is and where he came from. :lol :rollin :lol

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/130924/default.aspx
I think Sylvia is that prique who always plays well against us.
Ive also seen this prique give a few cheap shots to our players last time we met, umpire covienently had the notebook in his back pocket ::) ::)
Yes. Yes now this is coming back to me.

Adelaide have won the NAB Cup defeating West Coast by 34 points at AAMI stadium.
It's their first piece of silverware since defeating Collingwood in the pre season decider in 2003.
-
Carlton ahead of North by 3pts at half time. SEN reporting Carlton in control for most of the game thanks to a well gelled fwd line, but sloppy disposal and poor ball retention by their midfield has let the Kangas back into the game.
Also, Carlton trying to play one speed footy - at 110% is putting pressure on themselves.
Sounds like they are forcing themselves to play a brand of footy that is not clicking properly at this stage of the season
-
The roo's have blew them away in the 3rd. 97 - 62

North home.
Carlton winless over the preseason ;D

Scully out for season opener
TOM SCULLY has been ruled out of Greater Western Sydney's first AFL match with a cheekbone fracture.
The boom recruit suffered the injury after clashing heads with Israel Folau in Saturday's loss to Richmond in Canberra.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/130953/default.aspx

Sounds like Israel Folau had a very productive day getting reported breaking Scully's jaw doing nothing.
At least Scully's injury has given the Melbourne supporters their highlight of the pre season. :help

Will be a massacre.

good effort by the kids
i was surprised watching them in the knob cup but thought they'd loose the plot a bit in the real stuff.
gold coast didn't look as well oiled in their first match, or pre season either, for that matter.

I thought so too Al.
In part to your statement I thought the experienced coaching duo of Sheeds and Chocco if anything may have physically and mentally prepared GWS for the rigors of footy as opposed to the inexperienced Guy McKenna.
I know they have played one quarter but Sheeds and Chocco may get these kids development fastracked quicker than McKenna at GC. Not saying GWS will avoid the inevitable slaughters along the way either but experience in coaching will play a critical role in their development.
-
yeah, that dawned on me too watching the two coaches at 1/4 time.
theres a lot of experience, and past success, there.
-
Not sure if its just the slippery conditions that highlight it more but GWS are going in very hard at the footy when its on the ground.
-
they're not overawed and they aren't taking a backwards step
-
The Swans aren't a team that blows sides away, but credit to GWS, they've been ok. The old heads have done their job and the kids are having a crack.
-
:lol

I think the kids earned some respect from the swans rather having any psychological damage done
-
Kids did okay tonight for GWS. They hung in there. At times in the third I thought the Swans were just going to run away with a much bigger victory but kicking 1.12 in the last quarter and a half will stifle that.
They just don't bury sides the Swans. They lack a real killer instinct and at best I can't see them doing better than what they did last year.
-
they've used us as witches hats a few times tucker.
they grind you down and if you crack they slaughter you.
the kids tonight didn't crack.
-
Dont ever let anyone, any player, any club , DOMINATE YOU!
That is is the essence of what football is about.

Under Hardwick they haven't done it to us.
We've had a crack against them and have won in both 2010 and 2011.
Even last year Swans didn't really slaughter anyone although other than Geelong late in the season.
-
Was a good night. Lots of tigers about. Not sure how it looked on tele but was disappointing the wings weren't full, but not surprised considering they were $60+ tickets. Swans members had to pay to get in and giants members had to pay to upgrade their seats from GA. Most opted to take the GA seats behind the goals. Will be interesting to see the crowds when they move in to their new stadium next door.
Tell you what there were some effing hilarious giants supporters on the turps having an absolute ball. But who can't love AFL?
Swans supporters can suck it though, prissy arrogant Chardonnay sipping clap happy cheese sniffers. Long live the westies.
thanks,
gg
-
The sooner the giants start owing the swans the happier i will be. they make me :chuck
-
The first half was better than expected. Giants were very competitive in general play and before they tired their defensive structures held up. What surprised me most was Cornes and McDonald looked like their oldselves. A shame McDonald will get a holiday for his shirtfront as he lead from the front showing the Giants wouldn't be pushed around physically. Of their kids Coniglio and Greene most impressed. What's mostly going to see GWS get flogged is their lack of big targets up forward to lead up and go long to. Ted Richards and Grundy were just being fed uncontested aimless long balls.
-

Have to say the crowd didnt look too bad on the TV. Lower level on the wing opposite the broadcast side looked reasonably full, upper deck empty
Thought the Giants did OK. Some of those kids are going to be guns and a there were a couple I thought would have been better. One in particular looked lost and pulled out of a couple of contests which was disappointing :shh
-
The upper decks were closed
-
One in particular looked lost and pulled out of a couple of contests which was disappointing :shh
Name names? ;D
Folau looked lost but that's not unexpected. Until he learns to run back and lead up he won't get a kick as a forward.

Folau is playing as a KPP atm so if he does succeed in AFL IMHO it will be more of an achievement considering where he came from compared to Karmichael Hunt who is playing as a running mid/half back where some of your deficiencies can go under the radar at times.
Either way well done to both kids. :thumbsup

An 18 year old pulling out of a contest that is just stuffing outrageous. ;D You should look at how Vickery went in his early Coburg games and also how he went about it in some of his Richmond games. Played like a fairy. The bloke is a beast now.

All true
But when it's you and an opponent chasing after the ball and you stop because it appears you don't want the bigger body to hit you it's not a good look ;D

From AFL_AdamMcNicol twitter:
"James McDonald can accept 2-game ban for engaging in rough conduct on Luke Parker. MRP ruled negligent conduct, high impact and high contact."

High contact :-\ :-\ Confusing as he didn't seem to hit Parker's head
Thought it was close to a perfect "hip 'n' shoulder" :-\ :P
-
Pretty frustrating to those of us with James in our DTs.
and it appears other clubs actually do have players that get suspended. although I'm sure there's a few people out there that just can't admit that we're not being treated harshly ;D

Anyone know how long Maxwell, Tarrant, Johnson and Brown are out for?
-
Iirc maxwell should be right for next week. Not sure if anything has changed since
-
Didak won't play next week either apparently. Even we them still having a few of their best 22 out, it's hard seeing us pushing them over 4 quarters based on what we dished up Thursday night :-\.
You've got to laugh at the loyalty of the Pies' fans. Even their cheer squad had mostly left halfway through the last quarter once the game was gone. Always good to see Joffa's happy face on the tellie when the Pies are going down lol.
-
Yep pies supporters are full of BS, loyal my ass. No different than anyone else if not worse (definitely worse)
Tarrant, didak, johnson would be handy outs.
Tonight collingwoods inaccuracy in front of goal killed them, they would have been in front many times if they kicked straight. Cloke, dors and sidebottom being main culprits.
They appeared to be fumbly as well and took a while to settle in, when they did though they looked good.
You also have to remember they had a number of newbies and young players ( up to 7) so once they have a full list back they'll be dangerous.
Still think they'll get us over 4 quaters and will be mega pumped after losing this week
-
I'm starting to feel better now watching Melbourne getting pumped by the Lions! And I thought we played poo ;D
-
Brisbane cruised to a 41 point win. Just a shocking effort after half-time from the Dees.
-
In getting beaten comprehensively all day by a middle of the road side their coach has said that only 4 players had break even games.
compared to us being being in with a chance early in the last, against a side regarded as top 4, and our coach saying only 3 players can hold their heads up.

Makes our round 3 game against the toffs all the more important given the have West Coast in Perth next week. Given both sides will most likely be 0-2 going into that one it will be a mini final and a loss to the princesses led by jacqueline watts would be the close to fatal for our season given our fortnight after that.
-
Geelong are back infront 49 - 44 after kicking the last 8 out of 10 goals in the game.
Mark Neeld has a very big job infront of him. Senior players are no good or just don't put in the effort(Personally I think its abit of both). He really needs at least 2 or 3 players to stand up this year like we had in 2010 to build a side around.

Morton skata

Although Trengove will become a 200 game player for them.
Leadership the Dess do not have leadership.
Leadership is not banding together to beat Richmond in Round 3 or honoring Jimmy in Round 4.
Leadership is when you go to Perth to play the Eagles or Simonds Stadium to play Geelong standing up and being counted and leading your team to victory or walking off the ground with your head held high.
No leadership = no heart =no substance = no character = no hope.

Always hard not to barrack for geelong when they are not playing against us even though I tipped freo. Just the way they go about there business and champion players like Jimmy Bartel.
-
Didn't know who to laugh at either North losing or Essendon fading out only to hang on and win by 2 points. Both teams are mid table at best but we all knew that.
Brad Scott is under some pressure. Thankfully for him he has a home game at Bellerive against GWS.
-

4-6 weeks you would reckon for that. If Scarlett does cop a few weeks then that's one less Cat we'll have to worry about in round 4.

The window shut last year and now they are on the slide. No A-grade youth coming through means it's going to get a lot worse for the Saints.

The way the filth have steamrolled Brissy tonight just puts our loss to them last week into a different light.
We did well to only be a goal down 10 mins into the last quarter without really playing well.
Suddenly our loss was not all that bad and Brissy had a training drill against witches hats.
Carlton 154-63.

They haven't played any of the top 4 sides yet but Swans are looking the smokey. They're flying under the radar at the moment. They were 40 pts up on Freo at half-time although Freo has comeback in the 3rd to be 22 down now.
Ryder has almost 40 hitouts :o since Hille went off. Port hanging in there though despite 20 less inside 50s.

North absolutely pounding GWS 66 to 3, half way into second quarter
-
How did North go against GC last year anyone remember?
GWS are getting smashed on the score board. I'm not watching the game so could someone please tell share with us sheedy's tactics is he flooding back players or just letting them play 1on1 like Mckenna did to teach them.
-
North are easily forgettable tiger101 ;D
I looked it up - North 18.14-122 to Gold Coast 9.9-63. It was at Carrara so it was the Suns home game.
GWS actually did alright for a period of that 3rd qtr. Kicked 4 goals to reduce the margin to under 10 goals and were winning the quarter. North then went bang again and the margin has blown out to near 100 now.
-
North won 183 to 54.
Demetriou has given his old side a gift playing both GWS and GC twice.
-
Shame they won by so much as Melbourne are now off the bottom of the ladder
-
Saints doing it easy over the Suns. Looks like both GWS and GC will have to wait until round 7 when they play each other for either to get its first win.

perhaps if jack played in front more often........
-
Geelong win again. 90 - 92
Hawkins still can't kick but his taking some big grabs.
-
More importantly Hawthorn gag themselves by losing to a game they should not have.
Just like the Prelim they lost to a side that played till the final siren and never gave up whilst the Hawks threw away opportunities to win the game.
What was Buddy thinking he usually runs in and kicks it into the top tier and Osborne just kick it off the ground mate.
Psychologically Hawks need to get over this otherwise they will not win the flag.

People questioning me on here is laughable. Just glad gerks hasn't told everyone who I am
Would never do that not worth making them look like even bigger fools :shh :thumbsup

Reckon Carlton will smash the pies tonite

Blues killing the Pies in the clearances so far. You might be right, Dooks. I changed my tip last night back to Collingwood, might of been the wrong move now grr

Cant stand them both but how good would it be if they cop a descent whack from the Blues.
Nice start to his coaching career for Nayf.

If Carlton belt the Pies, I wonder if that will change anyone's perspective on how we went with them most of the game round 1? :outtahere

Good fun reading back through this. The way those pork chops are carrying on you'd think they'd been struggling for 30 years :scream

Sorry a little off topic but why is there no televised game on 7 on Sunday?

Wish Bruce would shut up about the betting odds through games. I thought the govt was going to start cracking down on that sort of stuff.

Just now when I think isn't is great that the Bums are useless
and now the scums are on their way down the ladder,
the filth are going to replace the scum in the top 4.

Bruce is starting to annoy me. Takes him 2 hours to get his point across.

I hate to say it but the Blues are premiership contenders. Big hard bodies yet as a team have speed across the ground. Waite and Hampson in current form have solved the problem they had regarding lack of tall forwards. It's a long season though so hopefully they are peaking now and not in September when it counts.
The Pies were really exposed tonight. Jolly can't get off the ground anymore and looks finished, Wood is a dud (200cm tall yet outmarked by Gibbs one-on-one) and O'Brien is a liability when their midfield isn't on top. They now lack depth once they get a couple of injuries with guys like Sinclair playing in their 22. The loss of Ball and Reid will hurt them more. They are lucky they have a soft next month with the draw otherwise top 4 would be out of the equation. Even now it's hard to see the Pies finishing ahead of Geel, Haw, Carl and the Eagles.
The one positive for us is if we win tomorrow we'll be above Collingwood on the ladder ;D

Tries to be too analytical. Just seems to want approval from Tom Harley.
Needs to get back to basics and call the game as he sees it with that unbiased passion.
" Kick the goal Stuey" kind of stuff if you know what I mean the natural stuff that just comes out in the heat of battle calling it as you see it rather than trying to manufacture something that may be memorable.

All three of their twos Coach. Which ones? Armfield, Tuohy, Laidler, Lucas.
Still had all their mids and forwards minus Walker.
Yes things may not be rosy but they certainly aren't terrible.
If anything what our loss two weeks ago showed was that our loss to the filth was less worse than our loss to the scum.

Suns in front of the Bombers after being 5 goals down :o

Abit of rain around from looks of things up there but GC are hitting the 50/50 contests hard and have taken it right up to the bombers this quarter as OER said they hit the front for a few minutes. Isn't Ablett a star.

If the suns win this for me it would be like seeing tigers winning such is my hatred for these pricks.
Come on boys

Gold Coast up by 7 pts at 3/4 time. Go Suns! ;D

Gold Coast go down by 17 in the end. I would of liked to of seen them get a win give their season a real boost.
-
Both sides looked stuffed in the end there. Was actually good to watch every player give 200%. Had a feeling the experience of the bummers would pull them through in the end though. How bloody good is Ablett. Wouldn't mind that McKenzie in the yellow and black either, running CHF generating some massive plays.
-
looking at next weekends round off footy. Some good games are on offering. If GC beat lions next week it'll be a battle between Melb v Bulldogs whoever loses will be joining GWS last on the ladder with 0 wins.

Imo the suns can beat brisbane and the doggies should get up over melbourne
The only person with integrity at melbourne is Mark Neeld, and he is the only person that didn't get the memo: they will tank again :shh
-
Malhouse comments about Melbourne on the TV a while were interesting. He said how Neeld has to go back to scratch and something about how the club was not about football when he took over.
he seemed to be saying the club was rotten to the core and it is a long way back.
Did any of the Melbourne supporters sing our team song after the siren yesterday? :whistle

Combination of Roos over running the Cats with pace, constant overlaps, and strong contested marking in the forward 50, and the Cats falling apart. We'd beat them looking like this. Dawkins and Pods can't take a grab to save themselves, kicking is rooted and keeping the footy in their back half means Bartel can't do any damage in the forward half.
Can see H-Mac, Edwards and Petrie giving us some serious grief when we come up against them. Wells and co are blistering from the stoppages.

thanks Dwaino, listening to SEN now...
So next week we are gonna be put thru the fruiting meat grinder?? :banghead :banghead
The unfurling of the flag at home next week after a big loss, theyll murder us by 10 goals plus :o
-
well if we compare ourselves with north as we do here,then we should be very competitive against the cats
-
If Geelong play like this then we're half a chance. No Scarlet will be a plus. If we don't lose Maric through the MRP we'll be half a chance too IMO. If we only go down by 25 or less I'd say we're still on track. Good sides are bound to drop one or two when they're up against an opposition ticking all the boxes. Remember that even the Bummer got the Cats when they were vulnerable last year :rollin
Maybe Monday's arm wrestle has taken a toll on them.

Geelong was just tired from a big game last Monday. They will be even more fired up for our game now.
Kangaroo's screwed my tipping up :banghead

What a devastating weekend :banghead I tipped Collingwood, Dogs and Cats. Then for SC... Goodes reported, Lake reported, Dempsy injured, Fyfe injured, Dusty and Magner didn't score well which added to the hurt that I had to sit Priddis for the week :banghead :banghead :banghead

Did something similar! Traded out Broughton after I accepted the fact that he is never going to run through the midfield, and got in Dempsey due to him about to go up in price and changed my captain from Murphy to Lids after Lids got 147 last week and I wasn't expecting Murphy to have a career best game against the Pies. I've already made 6 trades for the season (first two to change post-NAB cup predictions, second two to set myself up for this week, and third 2 to maximise cash this week) and I was really hoping to not trade anyone else for another 2-3 weeks... now I may have to make another 2. It's going to be a skinny mid season while I need to bank 8 trades for the finals :banghead :banghead :banghead I was getting pumped for this SC season. Did heaps of research and thought I had something pretty good... now it's all over round 3 :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

Choke Saints choke! :rollin
-
I know the media tried to build tonight's match into a big grudge match but to be honest I was not one bit interested in the game.
-
Tonight was just further evidence that the Saints are on the slide. They smashed Freo in contested footy and clearances yet still lost the game. St Kilda now just has too many players that butcher the ball or like Kosi have a stack of brainfades that cost goals. Freo just sliced them open in space and on the rebound. Worst still for the Saints in the long-term is the lack of quality youth coming through. Only Steven, Geary and Armitage were in their top dozen or so possie getters and they are at best no better than B-graders. We will finally beat them this year.
ps. I thought the AFL was cracking down on blantant diving for frees? What Milne did in the 2nd quarter was worst than what you see in Soccer. Sucked the ump right in.
-
The Dawson free kick? Was there. You can't make any high contact and Dawson the limpgot did. LMAO @ Dawson the limpgot getting boos all night. No one likes that chap apart from Ross the limpgot.
-
St Kilda will win between 6-8 games.
No point making noise by having % boosters against Gold coast and the Dogs as most sides will have it their way against both those sides.
Slide you terrible footy club.
No excuses for us if we can't beat both the Saints and the Dogs this year.

Carrazzo off to hospital to have scans on his injured shoulder. A big loss for the Blues given the form he was in.

I know Daniel. They have been blessed so far. Had McIntosh kicked straight after the siren in round 1 things could have been so different for them.
Could be 8-1. I doubt they'll beat West Coast.
I think their injury toll is rising though.
This season is just going to be so even.
West Coast at this early stage look to have a mortgage on top 2 and with Pies and Cats on the slide as well as Saints from the top 8 from last year any other side from Hawthorn Carlton Freo Sydney Adelaide and even Essendon as we can only judge them on what has happened in the first four weeks are all going to be jockeying for the remaining positions in the eight.
Nought courtesy of the easy draw playing GWS and GC twice and in other words % boosters may sneak in or then again may finish ninth again. :lol :rollin :lol
Adelaide with 12 games in Adelaide including playing GWS and GCtwice may also boost their chances and further enhance their credentialls to finish higher in the 8 also.
It is up to us as a club to keep on improving and bridge that gap by drafting appropriate players based on team needs and trading shrewdly to make our club to look attractive to talented disgruntled well performed players from other clubs.

Freo should be in front but can't kick straight and are making some really dumb goal costing turnovers which have gifted Carlton goals. Reminds me of us last week. As the old saying goes bad kicking is bad footy.
ps. April 27, 2012 - Judd actually gets pinged for holding the ball.
-
They won't be happy in Adelaide. Port isn't allowed to wear their traditional prision bar guernsey in the AFL but Carlton are allowed to copy Sturt's strip and colours.
Anyway Carlton won playing just one decent quarter. No wonder Ratten was happy. Let's hope Freo's shocking goalkicking spreads across town to the Eagles. I would say Jack Anthony has played his last game of AFL. Even our Jacko hasn't been that bad. Anthony took dudness to a whole new level last night. Ballantyne was another shocker docker who fumbled everytime he went near the footy. He hasn't done anything since Scarlett smacked him in the head.
-
GWS have jumped out of the blocks on the Dogs. Up by 13 points.

Jezza Cameron :shh

3qtr time
GWS 8.6.54
WB 12.12.84
Most of WB goals from GWS turnovers
GWS keeping both sides in it if that makes sense ;D
-
Take away that 2nd quarter where the Dogs kicked 8 goals and the margin in the other 3 quarters was just 9 points.
-
Gold Coast are in front of North by a point at half-time at Etihad. Maybe being forced into not relying on Ablett is actually helping them.
-
Would love to see Mckenzie at the Tigers. Ripper line breaker off a back flank or wing, allowing more nuggety types like Batchelor and Ellis an opportunity to get dirty in the middle. Bennell is a ripper too. Carved up Norf on his own.

Melbourne supporters rlentlessly booing the umps on at EVERY stopage in the first half, despite what i can see is a fair game so far. Fat cats trying to get their crap team over the line for their one win of the year before the snow season opens.

Jack Watts has been dropped again. Not a good sign. To be honest I'm starting to think he would be better off asking to be traded away from the demons and maybe even to a none melbourne base side to shake the number 1 draft pick tag.
-
he can play but man he's struggling a bit. not a good sign when they drop him after one game in a new role. Why the stuff would they have him playing a defensive forward role? Was he drafted for his defensive ability or because of his quality skills? Encourage the kid to take the game on.
-
Melbourne have wrecked Watts. He's a soft shadow of the junior footballer he was (a lead-up full forward) and he hasn't coped with being No.1 pick especially with NicNat showing the Dees how they got their drafting wrong. Watts needs to change clubs where he's just another player on a list and there's a strong club culture (eg: Swans, who love rejects) while he's young and still has development scope within him.
-
Mentally soft is Princess Jacqueline. :help
Poor culture at Melbourne and that has stifled his development as well as that silver spoon private school environment. Furthermore the nurturing environment at Melbourne is non existant with a senior core of players ruling the roost and a club full of officials who really add nothing to the stability.
The sooner he leaves the better and poor old Mark Neeld has an another uphill struggle to contend with having to hand kids games to get them AFL experience while trying to rebuild a list whose senior players are adding very little and trying to delist will prove alot easier than offloading them to another club. They are worse off than us when compared to where we were at the same stage of the season in 2010. Being a superdraft I can see him being trade bait at the end of the year considering this is the second time he has been dropped this year.
Reminds me totally of the Tambling saga and in the end we were better off offloading him and I think the Dees will be better off without him also and getting something worthwhile for him while he is still young and has the time to learn new tricks and gain a new footy persona and attitude.
-

True Tucky, there's definitely similarities between what's happening with Watts now and what happened with Tambling at Richmond. Both players chosen in the draft ahead of absolute freaks and both not coping with the pressure that comes from that from angry supporters and the media who constantly point it out. Richie was traded after 6 years; Watts is now in his 4th. If Watts stays at Melbourne for another two years after this one he'll end up like Richie running around in the state leagues with no further development left in him. Btw in his junior days in the U18 champs I didn't see Watts as soft nor not confident on the footy field. Melbourne's sick bruise-free footy culture as you mentioned Tucky has infected his footy and mentality.

Not to mention Jackstar saw him at a club (read restaurant) in St Kilda one night :nope

A charity win for the Pies last night against the poor old doggies who tried but have no tall forwards. Sheesh Higgins looks a shadow of his former pre-injuries self. If only the Pies played as poorly as that for 3 quarters against us :scream. Hard to see them finishing top 4 based on last night. Harry O is a real liability in the Collingwood's defence now.
-
It would be nice to see the Mudpies come up against some decent opposition while they are injury-ridden and vulnerable. But of course the AFL has gifted them a soft draw once again, while WE come up against all the better sides week after week.
-
Crameri has 4 goals in the first qtr against Brisbane. Bombers up 51- 25.
Melbourne hanging in there against the Cats thanks to Geelong's poor goalkicking.
-
Dees also had breeze 1st qtr
-
Geelong hasn't yet blown the Dees away thanks to their
goalpoint-kicking. 25 pts up in the 3rd despite 22 scoring shots to just 12.
The current Lions side would have to be right up there with the worst of the old bad news Bears teams. It's going to get worse before it gets better too with Brown and Black near retirement. Not great for the AFL in Qld to have two crap teams up there although the Suns will improve in the next few years once all their young first round picks physically mature and gain 50-70+ games experience.
-
This round going to script so far. Bombers home by 65 over the Lions and the Cats knocked the Dees off by 43.
-
All tied up 10 mins in the last quarter in the Gold Coast vs Freo game. Good for all those sides vying for the lower end of the top 8 if the Suns can cause an upset.
Edit: Bugger! Freo just kicked a goal.
-
Yep Freo home

If Bock is out for the season that really hurts their backline.

... Adam Goodes limped off the field with a groin injury.
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/16931/Default.aspx#fixtureid=7709&tab=Recap
No Goodes next week would be huge news as we play the Swans at the 'G.
-
It's all downhill for the Saints. Their class players are now on the wrong side of their prime and they have too many recycled hacks now that can't kick and are just plodders. The only positive last night for them was Kosi remembering how to play footy again.
The Hawks weren't that impressive either. They heavily rely on Buddy, Rioli (Dimma would love to have him at Tigerland) and Mitchell to have day outs each and every week. A top side will slice and dice their way through the Hawks' backline especially with Gibson missing.
As for the Crows beating Sydney by 5 pts in Sydney - thanks Adelaide for stuffing up my tipping for this round :banghead.

West Coast over Ninth Melbourne by 25 pts in the late game.
Scoreboard flattered the accurate Roos all day. 35 - 20 in scoring shots.
-
Nice to see Nought lose.
Would have been really peeved if they won even after I found out Nic Nat withdrew because of injury.
The other advantage we have playing GWS and GC later in the season is if they have injuries and the toll of long seasons on young bodies and they are cherry ripe for a mid to late season flogging.
Well that's what I want to believe for now. :thumbsup

What to make of the demons. They are horrible this year(and tonight). Last year under Bailey they was performing better. Not sure what the problem could be. Is Neeld giving to confusing of instructions or is the players that have been there for years just don't want to put in the effort knowing they are years away from success.

Is Neeld giving to confusing of instructions or is the players that have been there for years just don't want to put in the effort knowing they are years away from success.
Well according to Neeld in his press conference, he claimed the Dees are where we were under Dimma in early 2010 - starting from scratch with a side that naturally didn't know how to defend and that got burnt on the spread and uncontested footy (they also lost the contested footy last night). So he's effectively labelled Bailey another Wallace. Neeld also said if the Dees are still playing like this in 3 years then they'll have a problem. At the moment Neeld will be lucky to get through one year :yep. You would expect a side with Jamar in the ruck; Trengove, Moloney, Jones, Grimes & Sylvia in the middle; Frawley at FB and Mitch Clark (who is playing pretty well surprisingly) at FF, to at least be competitive. Add Davey, Rivers, Bartram, Bate, Garland and Magner who are all 24 y.o. or older. The Dees have also had Dunn in their side in the first 6 weeks. They aren't that young to use youth and inexperience as an excuse. Melbourne are just a rabble.
ps. Thank gawd we chose Cotch over Cale Morton by the way.
-
malthouse also they were starting from scratch again.
dont forget they had a coach who taught them how to lose rather how to win. despite any differences in the age and experience make up, i can see similarities between them and us when hardwick took over.
Neeld has had to strip it back bare and start again in terms of how he wants them to play and it will take time. It took rance a year to fully understand how hardwick wanted them to play.
like us in 2010 they are capable of playing reasonable footy in small patches but struggle when the opposition get going. with them being more experienced overall than we were they should improve quicker than us, but like us in 2010, will still get a good good draft pick without actually having that as their main goal.
you can actually see an attempt to increase their defensive pressure from the players, but they just arent good enough at it because it is such a foreign concept, again just like us in 2010.
-
Only similarities I see is the boys club culture Neeld is having to deal with, let's not forget this is a side that could have made finals last year when they sacked their coach, a side that beat up on the Swans who finished top 6 by nearly 100pts. Bailey's winning percentage was going up every year, their curve was tracking in the right direction. Far cry from Wallace's last year. I don't buy this having to strip everything back. They are a rabble. Pure and simple.
-
If the rumours are true ,maybe neeld will have a gigantic stripping back of his list at the end of the season,but not of his doing
-
A couple of surprises early on in the other games today...
GWS has got the jump on their newbie rivals Gold Coast. Up 26 - 9 at 1/4 time.
Adelaide is flogging Geelong. Up by 50 points just before half-time.
-
GWS won.
-
Pies won easily.
Pressure on both coaches from Qld. :shh
-
GC are very inconsistent and I don't blame McKenna for that. One week they nearly beat the bombers the next they lose(flogged) by the lions who you would of expected them to beat if they performed the same as they did the week before. Same happened today. Went close to beating Fremantle last weekend if they repeated that performance they would of beat GWS but didn't.
As for Voss surely another review beckons at the end of the year over his future.

yep prize dud in recruiting.
I remember someone going on here that when Raines was picked up by the lions they would be playing finals. LMAO talk about no idea.
-
Crows won 7 games last year, sacked coach, and have already won 6 and are equal top.
Dees won 8, sacked coach, are winless and dead last :-[
-
Ninth Melbourne lost to the Doggies :lol :rollin. Good for us :thumbsup. If it wasn't for the charity fixture they were given the Roos would probably only have one win.
Well done to the Giants on their first win yesterday. Made of mockery of the footy journos who said they wouldn't win any games. Sheeds and Williams have done well instilling defensive structures into such a young list so quickly. They will still get flogged by any decent side but against the bottom sides they'll be a show. Right now you would tip them against the Dees.
-
Why would they only have one win? They're a decent side.
-
Why would they only have one win? They're a decent side.
Two of North's three wins have been against GWS and GC. A good side wouldn't lose to the rebuilding Dogs this year.
They have Port and Brisbane in the next two weeks. So the AFL gave them 5 of the bottom 6 sides in the first 9 rounds with another go at both GWS and GC later in the year. Talk about a charity fixture. Despite that they are no certs to make the finals when any decent side would canter into September with that soft draw.

Does a Premiership side often lose to a bottom 8 club fromt the previous season? The Roos go alright. Beat us in the battle for 9th last season.

LOL.
Anyone whose been on this forum for long enough will know I don't rate winning meaningless late season games. I was happy we didn't finish 9th and gained Ellis (and Morris).
-
So a win doesn't count towards the end of the season? Were we not trying in that game? North were a better side than us last year and they're going alright this year. Face it and move on.
:cheers

lol st kilda pantsing carlton so far in the 3rd.

That umpire has wrecked what was a great clash between geelong and collingwood.
Very Very soft 50m especially when it puts them right in front like that.
-
Cats kicked 5.12 in the second half. Should have buried the filth well before that umpiring blunder swayed the contest in the favour of the scums.
Both teams are not the dominant force of last year. Geelong of 2007-11 would never have lost that game. Neither team will win the flag IMHO.
We beat the bums tomorrow night we are higher than the Cats on the ladder after round 8. :thumbsup

The 3rd quarter kicking for goal by the cats was terrible. Tom Hawkins needs to fix his set shots. Should of goaled that free kick but instead it was a point(looked out on the full to me). Even in that last 10 minutes the ball was in there forward 50 for most of the time but didn't convert. Collingwood aren't as good as they was in 10/11 but I think on there day they could still beat most of the top 8.
-
Collingwood may steam home once they start getting some more of their injured players back and everyone settles in. Massive improvement tonight even with only a few ins.
-
The worst game of football I have ever seen! The skill errors from both sides make us look elite!!

Looks like a few more sign ups for the stuff academy.

Josh Hunt was dumb. You can't touch the player who has taken the mark if you weren't in the contest. He got sucked in by Fasolo who admitted he milked the 50m.
As TFT said it was an error-riddled game. I think Geelong has made more turnovers in the past few weeks than it has in the previous 5 years. The younger Cats just couldn't play to the standard Selwood, Bartel and Taylor did. Add to that Hawkins and Pods went missing after 1/4 time after Tomahawk missed every shot with most of them sitters (Richo use to cop it left, right and centre if he missed just one sitter). Reid killed them until he went off injured along with Swan. Pendlebury is just a freak; he saved the Pies bacon.
-
fasolo made enough sideways movement to be called play on and it is basically an instintive reaction to grab the man when that happens.
Unless the umpire is in the process of calling play on when it happens ( it's near impossible to call it quick enough)it will be 50 every time.
-
Hawthorn are axing Freo, 51 pts up at half time...Freo have games coming up against the eagles, crows and then us. Dark times a ahead one might think
Roos 2 goals up on the power, in the third quarter. Very even game so far. Would love for Nortg to get done and make our job of getting in 8 that little bit easier

More pressure building on Neeld and the hapless Dees. Sydney up by 86 at 3/4 time with Melbourne kicking just two goals. The Swans kicked the first 10 goals of the match.
-
Lol @ nort :rollin

I tipped Port too :thumbsup.
As for Ninth Melbourne, loses like that are season killers :yep. Harvey may go as well for his sneaky little elbow while under a pack.

Just saw the replay of Howe's speckie. That was a ripper :o.

Nought showed why they are nought with nought supporters, home grounds, dollars in the bank and why mythical skataboner spirit is a figment of their small imaginations. Did I mention nought character nought soul nought hope nought idea.
Anyway I just wanted Gold Coast to win so the Ski Chalet folk could be rock bottom a game and % off second last.
Merging Nought and Melbourne would be the worst thing anybody could do. Let them die undignified and embarassed. Footy clubs like this are so pathetic its embarassing.

-
I went and watched the Gold Coast - Footscray game last night. What a crap that was. The highlight of the night was watching a Goshawk catching insects in the lights on top of the grandstand.
If we don't beat these teams when we play them we need buggering.

What Essendon really thinks of playing GWS next week :whistle

Back to reality for GWS with a thud. Lions won by 92 points. Voss gets a reprieve for a week knowing all media attention will be on Melbourne and North.
-
Adelaide giving the Blues a bath :lol. Since Carrazzo went down they haven't been the same side we played in round 1. Murphy looks to have injured his shoulder (AC joint) too colliding with Dangerfield. They are saying he may be out for 6-8 weeks.
Eagles are almost 5 goals up on the Saints at 1/4 time. A flogging would be good news for us as it'd make a big dent into St Kilda's percentage of 126.

They'll be like GC one week they can take it right up to a middle of the road side(like fremantle, Essendon) the next they get pumped by a bottom side(brisbane).

Cats were very unconvincing against the Dogs in their 20 point win.
Steve Johnson is a freak of the highest order.

Yep Stevie J won Geelong the game last night.
The Cats' era is ending. They were lucky the Dogs didn't have a forward line that could make the most of the dominance at the stoppages. Another game also this year where the side that's allowed the opposition an early breakaway on the scoreboard, spends all its tickets playing catch up footy all night.
-
People have said their era is ending a few times but they seem to bounce back all the time. Reckon they will go out in a semi final this year.
-
Scums back to their best winning by 26 at AAMI. They have crept up on all and are now 7-2 just like the Crows. Looking ominous considering they have looked like they have just been plodding along.
Although their injuries are piling up with now Keefe looking like he has also suffered a serious knee injury. They can't take a trick with knees at the moment.
Bombers had a predictable 11 goal win over GWS.
The Student with the help of his Bomber cheat notes beats the Master.
Saints were unspectacular in their 28 point win against the Swans. Sets up a beauty next week.
We can beat this scumbag footy club. It's time. :thumbsup
-
Skunks showed up the Crows by thier injuries ;D
-
If theres a footy god ..please ensure Dees beat the blues today
-
Lawl lions have come back from a 10 goal deficit to be 26 pts off the Roos at 3/4 time.
Another loss like last week and Norths mental game may be as good as shot for a fair while :pray
-
Ross Lyon should FO. I used to like watching Freo. and Grover poos all over Zac Dawson.
Dawson belongs in Spudville's reserves.
-
Who cares about footy tips, cmon dees
-
Andy Collins appears to have done a knee against the Dees. Seemed to put in a short step before making a head on marking contest where he was running the wrong way. The short step hyper extended the knee, according to Doc Larkin
-
Hahahaha Skataboners 63 points up half way through the third to win by 16 points.
Skataboner spirit in spades right there.
-
WC beat Freo comfortably in the derby. 84 - 36
Said it before and will say it again Ross Lyons game plan is so boring.
-
Ninth Melbourne getting pumped by the Hawks :lol and Buddy has kicked 6 to half-time. It doesn't help us in the short term as far as the ladder but it does show how good our win was last week.
Geelong are just going as well. It's taken them until the 3rd qtr to breakaway from the young Giants.
-
10 for Buddy
-
Hawks by 103, Buddy with 11.3
Shinboner spirit! :lol

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank N0rt Melb for their wonderful effort today against the Hawks

Port going very well against the wankers. Old m8 Schulz at it again ;D
-
Port's flogging the Blues at Footy Park :rollin. No Murphy and Carazzo = No Carlton. I wish we were playing the bluebaggers now. We'd pump them in their current form.
With Melbourne at least having a dip tonight all the negative media focus will be on Ninth Melbourne this week. There's similarities with us under Plough when we copped those sort of 100+ point hidings. An older group they rely heavily on that hasn't ever delivered and mostly younger players who lack that young gun class.
-
Cmon Dees bring it home, it will be such a laugh if they win over the war machine

Melbourne upping the anti against the bombers! 11 points up with 8 minutes to go, can they hang in there!!
-
LMAO go the Dees
have a hard look at urselves Bummers

And Melb win!
And Port smash blues!
Can this weekend get any better? ;D
-
lol Bummers!!!!!!!!!
-
The Bombers went in with the game allready won! Lairised to much and got cut to pieces! Sucked in Bombers!
-
Wow just wow! Well done Dees. The soft Bomber frontrunners who sit back for others to win the hard footy got exposed in the damp conditions. Although we just lost to them I reckon what we did to Essendon in the second half of our game had opposition coaches smiling. Essendon has been ordinary for the last 2.5 games even against GWS.
Anyway what a great weekend so far. Tiges win on the big stage while the Bombers and Blues get done by bottom sides :rollin. Bring on the rematches against both in the second half of the season :yep.
-
Don't forget ninth melbourne getting humiliated!
-
the war machine was in full flight tonight lol looks like they had some malfunctions or something in the armory. well done to Neeld and his team they were deserved winners.

Yes ;D

Once the papers run their feel good back page stories with Mark Neeld and the Dees they will turn their focus on the Cheats and the sorry state they are in. Bit of pressure on Ratts with Geelong and West Coast over the next few weeks. :help
Lets not forget Bewidered Brad's skataboner mob. Easy draw, no worries looking like a bottom third side on the table this last month. Top 8 is gone for this season and that 129 point win against GWS all but gone from their % after today's heavy loss which has gone from 112% to 99% Their win against Geelong very token considering the form the Cats have been in all year. In hindsight maybe all it did was hinder our chances the following week.
Anyway can't sack Brad Scott only $10 in the club bank account. Another season and a half of the same old footy and it will get better once Boomer retires. :lol :rollin :lol

The round of upsets continues. The Lions kicked 8 goals in the last quarter to come from 20 points down to knock off the Eagles. The game also had one of the worst umpiring decisions you'll ever see where an Eagles player forearmed the Lions' sub Green in the head leaving him on the ground and no free was paid :huh. The weagles really are the umps' pets this year.
In the next game, the Swans have kicked 9 goals to one in the first qtr against the Doggies.

Tipping is rooted this week. Looks like 6/9 for me. Really regretting changing my tip from Port to Carlton :-\

Our loss tonight compounded by the fact the Saints have beaten Gold Coast for the second time this season by over 15 goals.
Our percentage is at 108 and St Kilda go a game clear and their % gets to 124.
At least Sydney are giving Essendon a bath. :thumbsup
-
8 goals in a row to the Swans after the Bombers kicked the first and their only goal for the half. Up 54-17. Lewis Jetta has a wing to himself and is murdering Essendon on the rebound.
-
GC might need to trade some players at the end of this year to get some more experienced players. Aside from Ablett and Bock the other senior players they signed aren't cutting the mustard. They might even need to draft some state players that could go straight into there starting 22. They don't need to be superstars just players that can improve the team.

Hahahahaha Dempsey marks 50 out 3 seconds to go, steps off the line to play on milliseconds before the siren and the ball is dead and he can't take his kick. Sydney win 13 8 86 to 11 16 82.

Would love a triple come monday :shh

I always take a Melbourne loss (my most hated team!) as a Tigers win. Going for the trifecta this weekend would be a ripper.
-
Just flicked over to see the score in the Queens birthday clash and it looks like Demon's could get pumped today. score already 37 - 3 with 5 minutes to go in the first quarter.
-
Looks like the Pies have got bored after getting 50 points in front in the 2nd term and let Melbourne kick 3 goals.

Collingwood was in cruise control. Could of easily of been 100 point flogging if they got out of 1st gear.
-
Injuries are piling up on the Pies but they are starting to roll dangerously.
Opposite to last year when injuries struck in August, they get their boys back by July and this will give them plenty of time to launch a real assault.
Scary. :help
-
Yep reckon they will win the big one
-
It's help getting to the top of the ladder when you play 7 bottom
8 10 sides in the first 11 rounds. The Pies draw on the run home is harder so hopefully they slip up :pray. If the interstate sides finish top 2 it's going to be tough for any Vic side to make the Granny.
-
Just watching WCE v Carlton. Can't believe WCE can still get away milking these frees. Shuey should be a free target since he always does that arm shrug + dropping the knees crap.
-
It's been some of the most biased one sided umpiring I have ever seen! Sucked in Carlton :lol
-

Seems the WA teams are getting the rub of the green all season. :help
Carlton can go and fornicate. They are a shadow of the side that was Flag favs after round 3.
Have not been able to get out of their D50 all quarter. :thumbsup
-
As much as I'm enjoying watching the Blues crumble over the past 5 or 6 weeks, it's a rort how this umpiring works over there. Not sure what the free kick count is now, but near the start of the 2nd quarter it was 11 - 4 to WCE.
-
Eagles look a bit too relaxed after the break imo
-
Eagles left the door open at half-time thanks to their poor conversion and now the bluebaggers have the momentum.
-
NicNat almost kicked the best goal of all time
-
Cmon eagles!!
-
stuff these Cheats
Eagles pull your finger out
-
Crowd are feral, big time
Umpiring has been crap, easily swayed. Only positive is they have awarded frees to blues as well.
Game almost feels scripted at times
-
Sound of transmission static... Pa-sshhh
"What's that mr gieschen?" Ensure he kicks this goal no matter what??... Ok 50m penalty please
-
Always great to see the Cheats lose. :thumbsup
Umpiring is garbage though I loved the 50 paid against Judd for virtually nothing just showmanship. :help
No longer number 1 player in the AFL. :thumbsup
That's 6 from 7 cheats. Premiership form right there. Fantastic. :thumbsup
How much Rotten gone at seasons end and in comes Mick? :lol :rollin :lol

Running power and acceleration has gone so he can't breakaway into space and he was blacketed once again tonight. The only thing that hurts is that Scott Selwood should be a Tiger (FJ loved him) but was overruled by the powers that be at the time to trade that pick for McMahon :scream. Selwood would've been a major upgrade on Jacko as tagger. Oh well that's history! :-\

In hindsight also he Wallet should be hung, drawn, quartered for that. Worst decision he made in 5 years at the club. McMahon's recruitment brought more harm than good and that deal we will pay for at least for another five years.

And that's saying something when you add pick 8 for JON etc .... Some might argue at least Jordie's kick after the siren got us Dusty :lol.

Jordy McMahon is a hero.

Hate Carlton but the pro West Coast umpiring is sickening over there :chuck

Milne chokes at the big moment once again. St Kilda gets the margin back to 10 after being 5 goals down and he had the chance to put the Saints just 4 pts behind with a set shot directly in front to continue the momentum. Misses and the Crows run it up for a goal to regain the ascendancy.
Good for us btw if the Saints get done.
-
Carlton lost, and if Saints lose and we win, then Freo go down to Essendon next week, we'll be all squared up again. Every game from here on is more crucial than ever.
-
Lol go Milne.
-
Milne chokes again when saints have all the momentum.
-
True. If we win tomorrow then we've got a massive game against the Crows over there after the break.
Another choke from Milne running into an open goal :rollin.
-
Hahahaha missed the shot running into the open goal. Moron.
Good for us they lost.
-
We need to make the most of tomorrow (firstly get the win foremost). It's going to be hard to make up 13% in one hit now that the Saints only just lost on the scoreboard but at least we can go onto the same number of wins. A good win should get us above both Carlton and Freo.
Hopefully Dimma and co. pull tonight's game apart for after the bye when we play Adelaide. Jacobs dominated in the ruck which gave the Crows first use and got them their initial 5 goal break but when St Kilda got on top in the contested footy they were able to the Crows defence (their weakest point) under pressure. Not too much defence out there from the midfield either as far as running hard back in numbers for the Crows. Plenty of frontrunners. The Saints got back into the game hitting them on the quick breakout counter. As far as us worrying about them - we'll definitely need Grimes back with Walker and Tippett in that form, Morris hopefully will be back to match-up on either Porplyzia or Callinan, and we'll need big games from our midfield guns to counter Sloane, Thompson and Dangerfield. Interesting to see how big Ivan goes against his old side. He should be more pumped than even usual for it to prove his old club wrong.
-
Suns leading North by 11 midway in the 2nd qtr :lol. North having the same trouble we did today kicking poorly for goal.
-
As I have said in the past Nought have no originality and no character. All they do is imitate others.
Like us they win kicking 11 goals to the oppositions 12.
They win 11 21-87 to 12 8-80.
Plenty of Skataboner spirit there. ::)
They can thank Drew Petrie's last quarter for that but sheesh I was barracking hard for the Suns. ;D
-
Umpires gave that game to the kangaroo's.
GC was abit unlucky with a few of there key players pulling up cramps/injured in the last 5 minutes as well.
-
Hawthorn flogged Brisbane with Buddy kicking 5. It's hurt Jack's Coleman chances playing in the wet slog the past two weeks.
-
The Swannies have jumped the Cats with 7 straight goals. They're hard to beat on their toy-size ground. Good for us if the Cats lose and lose a bit of percentage as we'll be just a game behind them with superior percentage.
-

I'm more worried about the Dogs beating the Lions. If Freo lose to Essendon then that will be 5 teams on equal points.
-
Swans go missing for most of a last quarter again. Lucky to get out of that one although it's good for us as it keeps another spot open in the top 8 for us sides on 6 wins. Goodes will probably still get Brownlow votes even though he was subbed off for doing nothing all night.
Dogs won't challenge for the finals this year. They've only beaten the bottom sides - GWS, Melb, North, Suns and Port. Even if they beat Brisbane, they've then got Ess, Freo (away) and Hawthorn to follow which they'll be lucky to win any of. North have also got a tough month - Adel (away), St Kilda, Eagles (in Sydney), Carl and then us. For mine you can rule out everyone below Freo.
-
MT, that nought and crows game is down here at etihad this weekend. possible danger game for crows
Can I ask people of the remaining games this week, who do you think will win??
we have:
bulldogs vs lions at ES
collingwood vs west coat at MCG
freo vs essendon at PS
melbourne vs giants at MCG
nought vs adelaide at ES
-
I thought this was a tough weekend to tip. I went:
Sydney (by 11)
Bulldogs
Collingwood (only because it's at the MCG and have some big ins)
Bombers (poor Subi and June record, but I just think if they can get Freo on the inside, they'll open them up in the outside while Freo try and play zone footy on the long Subi oval)
Giants (even though it's at the MCG. Melbourne have been trying to play contested to stem their bleeding this year. Giants will try to take advantage as it's their strength and they'll get a sniff... Could just as easily go Melbourne but I'm making an aggressive attempt at the lead in my tipping comp and using this game as hopefully a point of difference)
Adelaide(can't see nought matching Adelaide's midfield)
-
Fair point about the giants, ive tipped em too ;D
stuffed around with that ladder calculator again, have us with 12 wins, 10 losses and 106.7% thats a great effort it was also ninth place ::)
I was hard on us but you need to be realistic not optimistic when setting these things up
final ladder was:
collingwood 18 wins 124%
hawthorn 17
west coast 16
adelaide 16
sydney 15
carlton 14
essendon 13
geelong 12 107.6
richmond 12 106.7%
st kilda 11
fremantle 11
nought 10 96.7 (dream run and still stuff it up)
hawthorn and collingwood grand final
As you can see imo we can still make finals but it depends on how we beat teams?? do we just beat em or get runs on the board?? diff between making it and not may be less than 1% tragic I know
fwiw the tigers losses imo if we miss out are these: north 12 pts, blues 30 pts, freo 12 pts, essendon 12 pts
-
Lions 37 pts up on the Dogs at 3/4 time. Doggies' season over.
-
Bulldogs getting flogged. They just got a goal but its nothing more than in junk time now.
48 - 107
-
Results so far this round have gone our way. Dogs losing means we're still a game and % ahead of both them and Brisbane so we haven't yet lost ground over the bye to any of the sides around us.
-
Gee whiz how bad are the doggies....
If we can't beat them later in the year we don't deserve poot
-
The Pies vs Eagles went down to the wire. Bloody Pies won by 3 points to go to the top of the ladder. I hate to say it but they are travelling nicely :P and finishing top 2 would mean they avoid travelling interstate during the finals. They still have Pendlebury to come back into the side too.
Gee whiz how bad are the doggies....

No decent forwards is hurting them badly. They are rebuilding and when they stink it up they really stink it up. Another side we owe big time when we play them.
-
Could have had Buddy Franklin :nope
Flogs
-
Essendon and Fremantle game looks like going down to the wire.
88 - 83. 3rd quarter time.
-
Swings and roundabouts, were all happy about the snipe ballantyne
getting his desserts! But probably wish he was out there now?
-
Cub, better for dons to win it. Keeps freo, carlton, geelong in its traks from moving ahead of us
-
Spose ur right! Why do I have that feeling next final we play whenever that is will be against the bombres....
-
Mate I'm sitting here at a dinner watching the game with a couple of bombers supporters on the couch. The collingwood ferals are on the other side of the room gloating about todays win, anyway it was only. A half hour ago these supporters were giving it to their team yelling how poo they were and how so and so should be dropped. Now they're telling me how good they are and now they're going for % in last 10 mins. Total wanksticks mate
-
The Bombers winning was probably the best result for us but now they are in the top 4 again their Veruca Salt supporters will carry on about winning the flag again :sleep. We got ripped off playing Freo in the wet as it turned the game into a contested slog; we would've won easy on a dry day with a more open spread game.

I was too busy seeing the irony in McPhee and Jetta jumper-punching each other in the jaw off the ball right in front of umpire Bannister and no free was paid yet last week Batch gives a couple of soft taps to the upper arm of Cameron and was penalised. What happended to Giesch and his "stamping these things out" this weekend?! ::)

Reimers was their number 1 target for sure "your a hack" "dont give him the ball" "useless" "dud"to which I said yeah maybe he should be dropped to which they replied he has just come back followed by hands on their heads (this was a pricesless veruca moment)
The other was Jetta, they were calling for him to be dropped, useless and had no balls
Priceless really
Glad they won anyway, it has given us an opportunity once again to get back towards finals contentions.
-
Giants kicked the first two goals although Melbourne responded with the next two. GWS up by a point. Go Giants ;D.
-
Melbourne up by a goal at 1/4 time. 6.1 to 5.1. Clark 4 goals keeping the Dees' noses in front.
-
Dees up by 32 at half-time. The tough game in the wet against us may be taking it's toll on the Giants' young bodies.
-
Dees absolutely flogging GWS now - 78 points up at 3/4 time. GWS a shadow of the way they played last week in the wet. We really blew a % booster chance last week not kicking straight :-\.
North up by 22 over the sick Crows at 1/4 time.
-
Yep Giants now non-competitive. Making some of the Dees hacks look good
What a crowd BTW = disgraceful but not surprising
N0rt playing well ... :banghead :banghead :banghead

GWS in the dry - nort allways stuff king us - we have to make our own destiny and stop this excuse poo we seem to have
-
North by 5 goals at 3/4 time. Hard to see them losing it from here even with their fadeout record. So now there'll be 5 teams locked together on 6 wins.

Melbourne fans - the most monetary driven, sell the grandmothers eyeballs to make a penny, dollar chasing, extreme capitalist group of fans in the afl. If anything, they are getting a taste of their own medicine.

Soft as melted butter. The type of people who would conduct your next job interview for a middle to high management office role at the Docklands, drive a Land Rover Discovery or a Lexus and live in Camberwell, Mont Albert, Box Hill or catch the Alamein train to work and get on at Willison Hartwell or Riversdale.
The three at the top are called Stuart Liam and Heath.
The younger "chaps" in the bottom photo are Lachlan and Cooper. The Richmond kid looking away in disgust is certainly either a Brett Wayne or Shane.

Hawks all over the Blues in that first quarter ;D. They're just slicing through Carlton's 'press'. Ratten will definitely be on shakey ground if this turns ugly tonight. We could jump above them tonight at this rate without touching a footy.

And they have Collingwood next week.
Their season is shot!

Love it!

knowing our luck they will string together 6 wins after the Collingwood game then face us full of confidence

But for now guys... Sit back, relax and enjoy this spectacle ;D
-
Blues have lost 6 of their last 7 with the Pies to come next week as dwaino said. If we can't beat them in their current state then we don't deserve to play finals. Just a one man Judd band. We owe them big time and it'll be nothing better than ending their finals chances for good when we play them in a month's time.

how'd you know? Did you see me?

That's me done. Completely irrespective of the result. I genuinely no longer enjoy going to the footy. Happy to watch from afar/the safe confines of the couch, but tonight just killed it for me. Until the arrival of Rhino Jnr, that's probably the last game I'll bother going to for a while.
Lots of empty seats in members tonight, and I can understand them. I won't go to another game until we make some real changes. No confidence, basic skills errors, always playing from behind, bombing the ball etc etc etc. the team is shot. Probably best if we loose every ga e from now to force change.
RABBLE. Rabble club. Rabble president. Rabble coach. Put us out of our misery!

Saints will be hard to nudge out of there

A win tomorrow would really boost our stocks and confidence.
Geelong are also vulnerable. Their next two weeks are gimmes but they then play all the top 6 sides on the run home. The last two spots in the Eight are up for grabs.
-
We can finish as high as 7 or as low as 12 its up to winnin as many games as possible
This week and next would really put us up in the mix if we can win both
-
The Eagles flogged the Suns by 21 goals. Gold Coast only kicked 1.2 to 14.11 after half-time. If we can't get a percentage booster in two weeks time then we are really struggling.
-
If we are any sort of footy side we have to beat Melbs by >8 goals and Mould Coast >10 goals.
-
Essendon smashing bulldogs by 39pts at quarter time.
Reckon Hurley will kick a big bag tonight.
Watson 14 disposals in first quarter :o

How about the dopey Bomber fan just before copping a falcon. Stands up in the aisle waiting for the footy but is too slow to get his arms up before the ball hits him in the face :rollin.

No Jamar or Jones for Melbourne today. Interesting to know if they are available next week.
Port being surprisingly competitive against Geelong for 3 and a bit quarter so far.
-
Demon Tom McDonald subbed out of the game coughing up blood after copping a knee to the midrift. Jamar and Jones are missing for Melbourne due to calves.

Brisbane up by 5 goals so if they win they'll be another side on 6 wins.
-
Saints 13 points up on Ninth Melbourne midway 2nd qtr. Hopefully it's a close game and no one gains a % booster for our sake. Saints play Essendon next week and North play the Eagles so we have the chance to get back to level with the winner next week.

Saints up 59-57 at half-time. Lachy Hansen is being made to look like a star with 3 goals :o.
-
Hansen :lol
-
Half time the least successful foundation AFL side is two points up over the Nought fans, money character personality and care factor side.
Would prefer the latter to win from an RFC point of view as our % is superior.
-
Nought up by 11.
Nick R. what a stuffin girlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Couldnt care who wins but from a RFC perspective we need Nought to win
-
Gold Coast is one more loss away from equaling Fitzroy's consecutive 21 losses in 1995-96. They'll probably end up passing the Swans 26 consecutive losses in the early 90s.

Im sure theyll break their record against us ::)
-
Imagine a loss to GC. I reckon it would cause the biggest meltdown we have seen on Richmond forums.

How about the dopey Bomber fan just before copping a falcon. Stands up in the aisle waiting for the footy but is too slow to get his arms up before the ball hits him in the face :rollin.
pics or it didn't happen :lol

Ouch. Hurts just thinking about it. :lol :rollin :lol
-
Collins has started this game off alright :thumbsup
-
the only time in my life i hope the Pies absolutely smash a team. Its not looking that way
-
I hope not for our sake but the Blues look like winners. The Pies charged at them that quarter but couldn't get in front and Carlton pretty much got back on top. Too many Magpies look like that thought they just had to show up tonight to win.
Collo had a good first quarter but he's made a couple of bad blues since.
-
Great
Just when they have to play us they will be chock full of confidence
sick of these pricks. Was happy seeing them lose on a weekly basis
-
Collingwood always seem to get reamed by the Cheats.
Prevents us from breaking into the 8 tomorrow.
Just when I thought our game against them in 3 weeks might fall our way these animals have turned
their season around.
Even more reason to hate both clubs.
-
Just shows you can't rely on other teams to do you favours :scream. Carlton no matter where they are on the ladder always pump themselves up when they play the Pies. Going down to just one ruckman (Kreuzer) when Hampson went down early actually helped them as it forced them to go small and with speed. The other top sides will get this game and show how speed forward of centre can split open the Pies. Harry O (is there a more overrated footballer ::) ) and Maxwell 1-on-1 got exposed again. Wellingham will get a nice holiday for his charge on Simpson.
As for us we can still jump ahead of the Blues tomorrow if we win by more than 6 goals. We are still in control of our own destiny given we play North and Carlton. If we don't win the games that matter then we don't deserve to be in the finals anyway. Hopefully if there's one thing we learn from tonight is no matter the situation if you come to play physically and mentally over 4 quarters then you can win and win well. Likewise don't underestimate and disrespect your opposition as you'll get burnt as you can't just flick a switch.
-
Well I suppose all good things must come to an end :(. I was really enjoying watching Carlton fail every week. I should have known they'd turn things around just as we were getting ready to play them again :banghead. And that's the LAST time I'll ever be barracking for Collingwood again, let me tell you....
-
old Juddy looking like a Puffing Billy. :lol
or is that the other way round.
-
Carlton will lose to Norf next week. Norf can beat good teams. Watch them lose to the poo teams though...
-
Saints well on top of the Bombers to half-time. Not great for us as a win puts the Saints back ahead of us.
-
Not good at all...
With 8 minutes to go they're almost 80 pts up
-
impossible, we are mentally week and have a loser attitude while the bombers set the standard in winning culture.
-
impossible, we are mentally week and have a loser attitude while the bombers set the standard in winning culture.
Of course. With games in the upcoming weeks against Geelong Hawthorn Adelaide and Collingwood that winning culture will show why we are poo and always will be.
By the way they are wearing that silver strip against us in Round 22. :cheers
I hope they play as well as they have tonight on that Friday night in August. ;D
-
Norf play for each other they have spirit take the rose coloured glasses off you cross dressers

Should change it to blue and white for them. Then as they run out play "bananas in pyjamas..." :lol

Hawks beat the Giants by 162 pts :o.
Gold Coast were up by 3 goals on Geelong but Chapman in 5 minutes has got the Cats in front.

Geelong just did enough and won by 14 points with no Pod and no Harry Taylor.
-
if we cant beat GC or the Dogs then we dont deserve finals.
Doggies are hopeless. Imagine if they didnt have Boyd.
-
I wish we had boyd in our team. He did train with us? Or do a preseason before he got pick up?
-
Here come the skataboners! Laying barry cables on the bloose!
Blues more scoring shots and winning every stat except free kicks yet down by 29
-
North on top of the Blues at half-time in a shootout. The Blues have had more shots but North have been dead-eye dicks tonight. Almost everytime they go deep inside 50 that kick a goal. Let's hope Griffs is okay next week as we'll need all our tall defenders as options for Petrie and to a lesser extent Hansen.
For next week Ziebell should be in trouble with the MRP for his off the ground high bump and Adams has hurt his shoulder after Judd chicken-winged him in a tackle. North are playing on at all costs and it's old school footy kicking long to their talls up forward. We need to be aware of that and switched on defensively.
-
As long as their score next week at half time is 2-12.
About time someone starts spraying them against us.
-
For next week Ziebell should be in trouble with the MRP for his off the ground high bump
Ump didn't even pay a free kick :lol
-

Its called Taylorwalkeritis. It means he plays next week and is the difference between the sides next week only to get reported and face suspensions for the following weeks.
-
Yep let's hope North use up all their luck up tonight. It's one of those games where they can't do anything wrong. After Thomas' flukey goal you knew it was game over.
Carlton on the other hand are a rabble :lol. Defenders kicking it straight to North forwards now :wallywink. Let's hope Sticks doesn't sack Ratten until after we play them.
Not regreting swapping Collo with Grigg but Collo hasn't been too bad tonight in a poor Blues effort.
-
Garlett is poo
Walker injured
Duigan found out as a dud fwd
Norf might roll us with their tall fwds and our shorter break coming back from the heat, but if we can't beat the Blues this time around awww geeee
Waite interviewed at half time said "it's Norf, you can claw them back"
LMAO think someone might have relayed that to their rooms :wallywink
-
Collins doesnt even compare to Grigg
Cant even hit targets 20 metres out
Our best trade for a number of years
Petrie looks injured, probably nothing but it would be good if he misses next week.
Something about that Lindsay Thomas that makes you just want to smash him
-

That's what I'm hoping for. Lose to us and confirm their season is gone and then sack Rotten.
Dogs next week for the cheats. I'm hoping they win a sloppy tight one and lose to us to make Rotten's tenure all the more thin. Would love to beat them, end their season and have their coach sacked.
First things first. We need to beat Nought. I'm drawing thin now but Petrie has been subbed out with what appears a thigh or a groin.
-
First things first we need to best the Suns
Petrie will be fine

Ratten. Blues are fornicated. :lol :rollin :lol
-
The Dees have kicked the first 3 goals :o.
A Freo loss would do us a favour.
-
Great effort by the Dees. 3 players down injured and still lead by 4 goals.
Lets hope they can keep it up
-
Melbourne still in front by 7 at 3/4 time. Go Dees - hang on.
Port just in front of the Bombers as well in the 3rd qtr :lol. Geez I'd laugh if Essendon fall apart now on the run home. A bunch of front runners.
-
That would be right. I picked Carlton (yeah... dumb I know, just thought they'd get up in a fast paced game), Freo and Bombers. First 3 tips down the drain.
-
Don't worry dwaino. Freo and the Bombers kicked away in the last quarters to win easily. Melbourne unlucky as they were down on numbers on the bench and ran out of legs. Oh well we've just got to make sure we win today so we don't have to worry about what Freo did/does.
-
Yeah I finished watching the game. As much as I loath Melbourne, we need to win well now seeing as Freo have a good run home too.
-
Collingwood doubling Geelong score 97-49 late in the third.
With the Cats % taking a battering a win for us tonight would have had two spots up for grabs in the 8 given we could have been just one game behind them.
St Kilda v Brissie toss of the coin.
Missed opportunities. :banghead
-
GWS were competitive for a quarter and a half but got blown away again after half-time by 119 pts. Pretty much shows our form-line over the past month or so has been very ordinary. The Hawks likewise have kicked away after half-time from the Dogs to lead by 10 goals. The real contenders are starting to flex their muscles in the second half of the season as the top sides always do.
-
Sydney back to the top of the ladder beating West Coast in Perth by 52 points. :o
-
Cats have had their best start of the year. 29-0 half way through the quarter.
-
FFS 30 years of us not winning by 29-0 halfway through the first quarter :banghead
-
Geelong have been great
All over them with tackling pressure, smothers and fists to the ball in most contests.
The verucas in the crowd have been going wild- mmmm mm mm mm I love it
-
Well that's the last time I tip those bums in a big game. Sadfase.
-
Tipped cats by 3, they really suprised me tonight. I still think they have a hard road ahead and although making finals is very realistic I'm just not sure about how far they'll go.
Time will tell
One thing for sure the verucas will go into hiding this week
-
Always great seeing the Bombers crash and burn by 10 goals :lol. The old Cat champions still have one or two punches left to throw but I reckon they've caught Essendon on the slide given in the past month of so the Bombers have lost to Melbourne and been flogged by both St Kilda and Geelong.
-
Bomberblitz crashed today like their footy team lol.
-
The War Machine has discovered the cold harsh Russian winter.......

The panzas have become pansies lol. It would be hilarious if they now crash out of the Eight after starting the year 8-1. I think Essendon have Hawthorn and Adelaide (away) in the next two weeks. Two more losses would have them all very nervous at Windy Hill.
-
Need Zaharakis and Ryder.
Struggling with Hille back in the side.
Offered absolutely nothing last night. Although he is still offering more than the one and only King Island Cream Puff. :lol :rollin :lol
-
hawks collingwood game turning into abit of a shoot out.
Collingwood closing the score back this quarter. HAwks just got another one.
30 - 42
-
Hawks weathering the Skunks storm and look like they can win big games without Buddy.
Looking good and up by 20 just before half time.
I'm jumping on the Hawk band wagon. After all it was our dismantling of them in Round 9 that has turned their season around. :thumbsup
That's twice in three seasons. :lol :rollin :lol
-
Crows up by 5 goals late in the second quarter. Looks like they'll cement their top 2 spot.
-
Smart money would have been wagered on Hawthorn at lengthy odds to win the flag after we dismantled them in Round 9. ;D
Hawks up by 62 early in the last.
Now they are worthy Premiership fancies at $3. ;D
-
LOL at the Pies :rollin. Cloke has done nothing since all this contract talk has been going on.
A thriller up in the Queensland derby. Scores level halfway through the last and with the Suns having the last 6 shots on goal. Maybe the Suns are longer the easybeats they were earlier in the season.
-
Hmmm Gold Coast taking it up to the Lions
-
LOl they hit the front 22m into the last qtr
-
Suns in front. Probably 5 mins to go. They would be home and hose if they had kicked straight. 1.8 to zip this last qtr.
-
Two goals to the Lions puts them 11 pts up. No miracle comeback this week.
-
yeah darn it
-
yeah darn it
7 straight behinds in the last qtr for the Suns. If only they kicked for goal like that last week :P.
-
lets hope the Buldogs smash the Blues and move them into development mode so we can finish them next week.
Waite didnt play again today at NB so theres no chance he will come up against us.
-
Dogs in front by 8 at 1/4 time ;D. Tick tock Ratten.
Dees 14 pts up on Port in Darwin.
-
Dogs now 25 in front. Typical beat carlton then we have to face an angry carlton plus their good players will come back against us
Its almost scripted the games we play and the outcomes
-
so true EA
Bloody Collins keeping them in the game
Only a goal in it now
-
Cheats in front by a point, I think they'll get away with the win.
Pity about the doggies, I only ever disliked em cos of libba
Eddie betts- number one wanker
-

i cant stand losing to those cheats. For me GC game will be completely forgiven if we can finish their season off next Saturday.
-
I'm glad the Cheats won. That way they won't be fired up against us.
Still it was a win against a side that in the last 5 weeks is only travelling better than GWS by %.
Beat them next week. Get Rotten sacked and hopefully win well so we can close the book on their season and nail Mad Magazine Face Man to the wall. ;D
-
Sydney beat St Kilda to cement top spot. Travelling nicely but I just wonder how they'll go at the G if the make the GF given they struggle there.

Outside of GWS the Dogs are really travelling as the next worst side over the last 6-8 weeks after they suffered another humiliating 12 goal flogging to the Saints.
Would think that they would consider themselves a real chance against us in a fortnight. :help
-
Can you blame them? :-[

You can rest assured that we will play at a level similar to theirs and make a real scrap out of it.

Yep wayne we still seem to have the bad habit of playing to the level of our opposition :-\. All part of our lack of mental maturity and lack of a killer instinct as a team.
-
Hawks supporters carrying on like primadoners, booing everything haha
Cats playing great footy, hope they keep it up- will be a good game
-
Top notch game
-
Yep one of the best games of the year. Finals-like intensity. Tomahawk stands up again in the last quarter of a big game to get the Cats across the line. Hawks will now rush Buddy back into the side a.s.a.p. as their other tall forwards went missing for most of the night.
This is such an unpredictable season. Everytime a team is labelled premiership favourites they lose the following week lol. Up to six sides could take it out this year.
-
Reminds me of 1997 where all the top 6-7 clubs had cases on winning the flag such was the eveneess of the competition.
That year St Kilda and Geelong finished 1 and 2 on 15 wins Brisbane finished in 8th with 10.5 and we finished 13th with 10, Hawthorn lost their last 7 to finish 15th with 8.
Adelaide won the flag with 13 coming from 4th.
Anyone up to Geelong in 6th can win the flag this year. This may be the year where home ground advantage may not count for as much when looking at other seasons.
-
GWS 4 goals up on Port at half-time. Upset brewing.
-
Port will win they have those two guns schulz and butcher
-
GWS still 4 goals up in the last qtr now. Primus will be looking over his shoulder if Port lose this one. Remember they were also the first to lose to us in Dimma's first year when we stripped the list back to just youngsters.
-
And GWS notch their second win
16.11 107 to 10.13 73 port
Nought also pumped doggies
18.7 115 to 8.18 61 ::)
-
Melbourne would be now rubbing their hands together. Only a couple more floggings and their draft position improves :lol
-
Congrats GWS :clapping.
Michaelangelo in the Adelaide Advertiser is going to tear into Primus and Port after this :yep.
Freo are doing a number on the Eagles. They should replace the Bombers in the top 8 eventually.
-
Saints season over now you'd reckon after being pipped by the Pies and with North and Freo winning and ahead of them now.

Yes, and the black and white filth can consider themselves very lucky that it wasn't a draw. Must be nice to be the most protected side in the competition.
-
Melbourne in a home game at the G are 40 points up against Gold Coast.

25-14 in free kicks wasn't it?
Having said that, the way they umpire these days, it was a free to O'Brien as Milne took his eye off the ball. We've copped a lot harsher ones than that one (Newy against Watts last year ::) ).
Swans up by 21 on Carlton at half-time. Hope they end the Blues' finals chances today :thumbsup

Great to see the scum Carlton out of the finals race :rollin :rollin They are a top 4 side in thier own minds hahahaha

Now if Effin-dumb could just tumble out of the 8 as well, things would be sweet. Apparently when we lost to GC they were watching on in amusement at an airport lounge on their way home from an earlier game. Who's laughing now you Bummer scumbags? :rollin
-
RR if that's true about them watching the game, then nothing will make me happier then them falling out of the 8. Although I'd love to see north come 9th and essendon finish 8th so they fly to perth and get walloped by west coast
-
A week is a long time in footy. Last week Hawkins kicked the winning goal from beyond 50 after the siren; tonight he gets knocked out in the first quarter crashing head first into the hard Subi turf after going for a pack mark .... Ouch! It looked bad with him face down on the ground for 10mins but he seems okay now and is walking around in the rooms thankfully.
-
It's unreal how much Hawkins has come on. Most people thought he was a useless spud until finals last year. He's a beast
-
Great player Hawkins but Cox gee he is something else.
Just had a look at where he went in the draft. Rookie
Unbelievable
Would love to see him win a Brownlow
-
gotta admire the cats, win or lose tonight. lost Hawkins in the 1st quarter
Its what happens when your club is built around culture and a never say die attitude
Take a look at these household names
Motlop
Duncan
Simkin
Walker
Sheringham
Murdoch
Guthrie
Hunt
Stephenson
-
That's right daniel, no household names there but they rise to the occasion.
And no suprise, dubious free paid to wce resulting in goal and they won by 5 pts.
Crowd were deplorable tonight absolutely feral, should napalm the bastards
-
Crowd were deplorable tonight absolutely feral, should napalm the bastards
That's because they weren't getting all their own way for once, after Scott publically highlighted the discrepancy in free kicks against Interstate sides. I can only hope the umps are just as even-handed when we play the Dockers soon. Though I'm sure we'll cop it from them just like we did when we played Freo in Melbourne.
Incidentally, how ridiculous were the umpires in their interpretation of deliberate out of bounds last night? I hope this isn't their flavour of the week rule come Sunday.
-

Imagine the slagging off if he had been at richmond.
-
Nick Riewoldt subbed off early and on crutches. Good-bye Saints for 2012.
-
Why? He's useless. Lenny will get them firing without this dead weight.
-
Big win by the Skunks tonight by 8 points. Skunks continue to be Sydney's bogey side.
Opens up the premiership race again.
What a season any one of 5 teams can win it.
-
Still think the scum will win it, I thought they'd win last night and will end up with a home final I'm sure.
-
North up by 9pts at 3/4 against the dons and would be fair to say north have been the better team. Killer first half by Watson kept them in it.
Hopefully north will win and another nail in the bombers finals coffin :pray
-
North up by 3 goals 5 mins to go :pray
-
Aaand win ;D
-
This finals race is just ouch
We just miss so that one of these shocking clubs make it in Nought , Cheats, Bums, St Kilda or Freo. :help
-
Don't worry Tucky. We'll pass them all by either next year or definitely by 2014 :thumbsup.
Saints - gonsky and it'll get worse and worse for them over the next 5 years once all their old stars disappear. Back to the bad old days for them propping everyone else up year after year. Cats tonight should be 10 goals up at half-time rather than 'just' 34 pts.
North - Harvey and Petrie won't be around forever.
Freo - Pav is 30.
Dons - May premiers.
Blues - "we'll be top 4 next year" :wallywink. They'll need to do something in the next year or two while Judd is still
-
Cats have gone to sleep. Back to 13 pts at 3/4 time. Any last slim chance of finals for us could be over tonight at this rate.
-
Cats win by 7 goals. Bye bye Saints :yep
-
Carlton streeting away from the Bombers 82 - 41 just before half-time. That means bye-bye for us :(
Fletcher gone with a groin injury. So another soft-tissue injury for them.
-
10 goal second quarter for the Blues :o. They'll be barracking for us today as if we beat Freo then they'll make the finals with the Suns and Saints left to play.
-
Bombers 79 pts down at 3/4 time :rollin
-
No one told the Weapon that friendly fire is turned on.

Typical all other results fall our way except the ones against the Cheats.
It all just keeps on adding up.
I want to start a new RFC coterie group 21-32-69-73. All RFC premiership wins against the Cheats.
We will get together and plot the downfall of this degenerate deplorable and disgusting footy team.
How do we go about starting it?
At least win lose or draw today lets just end the bums season next week and finish the season on a high.
-
Cheats 156 Bums 60. :lol :rollin :lol
-
North look to have the Pies measure although just as I say that the margin is reduced to 21 pts. Cloke and Dawes having a shocker although the delivery has been rubbish as well. Good to see :lol.
The close one is in Brisbane. Adelaide down by 5 pts in the last qtr needing to win to win a home final.
-
Nought win and are an outside chance for top 4.
Brissie cause an upset and beat Adelaide.
Tonight's results have turned the top 4 upside down.
Looks like Sydney and Hawthorn will be top 2 after tonight with their showdown next week to see who'll finish as Minor Premiers.
-
Buddy misses another game :shh
Since when does a club release a statement for a player missing through illness?
-
check the Merc :thumbsup
-
anyone else heard anything about our good friend from Glenferrie
So lets see
Loses his license
Then gets in a smash with another car
Whilst taking 6 weeks off due to a "hammy"
-
They are saying he is already in doubt for this week... :whistle
-
I understand it's horrid weather, but if anyone ever wants to see worse skills than what we can sometimes display then watch the Port v Brisbane match.
McCarthy... PHEW
Boak... WGAF?
With all the chest marks being dropped it looks like they're laying eggs.
-
Cmon Gold Coast do it
-
GO GO GO gold coast the rat will be in deep poo if they drop this game
-
Cmon Gold Coast do it
:pray
-
haha just flicked it over GC up by 38 at half time.
If any team is to end Carltons final hopes besides us I hope it is the GC.
-
no one will remember our game if they lose this. Go Suns!!
Im just spewing i didnt dump $10 on the suns at 15/1
-
Carlton are coming back. They'll over run GC now
-
I was wrong GC held on and won.

Richmond win easy and Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon all lose. Now that's the perfect weekend of footy :veryhappy :highclap :dancing :highfive
No Darren Jolly means no Collingwood by the way. NicNat is a freak!

22 goals for a ruckman who hasn't even fully developed
mate with the greatest respect your off your head, the guy is going to be an absolute gun and is a joy to watch

Athletically yes, post had more possies this week and a
has played a lot less games. May achieve expectations but ATM IMO is overrated based on his performances!

North showing there true colors ;D Petrie and Boomer being well held and te rest don't know what to do :lol.........if it wasnt for there soft Draw they wouldn't be in the finals :shh

How good for the shockers! Just when I started to dislike the ross lyon led boys in purple they go and do something like this.... And totally redeem themselves!!!
North looked good last week against the pies, but last night showed the pies played 2 poor games in a row. So does it tell us more about north or collingwood? Norths easy draw makes it hard to tell
One thing I know, I would have expected freo to blow away a team over there and not down here.
-
North are just stuffing skunks.
They are a tipsters nightmare
-
Thud! The Sound of North coming back to reality :yep. Freo didn't have Pav and the Roos still get flogged by 50 pts at home :lol.
Both North fans just sat at Etihad stunned ;D

And including Adelaide I think I only got 4 tips this weekend. :banghead

The AFL will be hoping Freo finishes 8th and WCE 5th so they get the first ever WA derby final and with Subiaco's limited capacity they'll be able to charge a packet for the tickets.
-
That was my initial thoughts. They'd be sweating on it is ce there will be no appearance from Carlton, Essendon or Richmond. But stuff them. I want to see n0rf suffer.

Have to love the AFL trying to cash in on finals a week early by having all of last year's finalists play off in the final round. Probably in hope all or most of them would be playing for things like home finals and such. I guess by the way they fixtured us this year and having Port to finish off they never anticipated us making it either.
-
They didnt bank on Freo making it either. If results go the right way Freo could end up 6th with a home final, the same weekend West Coast have a home final sewn up and the Wallabies are also booked into Pattersons on the Saturday.
Pity the ****s that have to play on the ground after the rugby :cheers
-
Nik Nat has flown a couple of times, did we all tizz?
-
Lf f off druggy
-
Last one! Kennedy needs his head read WTF
-
Hawks timing their run at the finals perfectly and looking ominous to waltz home with the flag now they will finish first and won't have to travel.
-
Doing enough to win tonight but playing really well.
Only weakness is their backline as they have no monsters down there but still will be very hard to topple at the moment the way they are playing.

Yep their backline really depends on Shoenmakers. He played well tonight but in the past he's got the jitters in big games. The Hawks looked like they won the centre clearances and given the Eagles had to shut the game down after 1/4 time the Hawks always had numbers down back to avoid any of their defenders being exposed 1-on-1.
For the Eagles, their bottom six was badly exposed tonight as being too small and too easily pushed aside by the bigger bodied Hawks. Josh Hill was the worst. He would make Jordan McMahon look good at contested footy. Playing from behind, one handed attempts at marks and running under the ball to avoid any contact. Just lazy and soft when playing against any decent opposition.
One thing tonight showed again is that interstate sides find it harder to play at the 'G than at Docklands especially at night. A number of times Eagle players struggle to read the flight of the ball. ALL our home games should be at the 'G. We may still drop a home game against an interstate side at the 'G now and then (Freo this year :scream) but over time playing at the 'G is a significant advantage which we lose being forced to play home games at Docklands.
-
not sure if it can happen but would love to see Cats beat Hawks again in the finals
They are a supreme organization down there.
Hard not to like Cats or Swans the way they go about it.
-
Hard to see the Swans winning it when they struggle against good sides in Victoria especially on the bigger grounds. They now have to travel to play Adelaide at Footy Park after losing their last two games.
The Cats are hanging around in the race and will now play either North or Freo in Melbourne. Probably the only side outside the top 4 who could do it come September IMO. Chappy will be a big loss though if he gets rubbed out.
-
Toby Greene in his last nine games has averaged 33.3 disposals which is on par with Ablett's average this year. This kid is still 18 years old so imagine what he's going to be like when he's 22-23 and has a more mature GWS side around him. The kid's a freak!
-
Nought couldn't even beat GWS well to at least stay in mMelbourne. Looks like the bubble has burst and the fact they had a soft draw will be exposed next week in the parochial finals cauldron of Perth where West Coast will show them that Skataboner Spirit means squat in September August July June May April March and any other month of the year to the tune of 10 gals plus. :lol :rollin :lol

The two wins over Geelong and Collingwood has really hyped them up to be a team they are not. As you said this weekend in Perth they should get smashed.
-
Just curious to see which teams you think will win this week?
who will progress and who will drop out?
Winners this week for me are:
Collingwood def hawthorn
West coast def nought
Geelong def freo (just)
Adelaide def sydney (close)
then:
hawks def west coast
geelong def sydney
then:
collingwood def geelong
hawthorn def adelaide
to setup a collingwood vs hawthorn grandfinal
Im probably wrong but lets see... :shh

-
hope so :shh
-
Game is going at pretty fast pace so far.
Not sure who will drop off first. Hawthorn are in better form but a few injuries could give collingwood that 1% extra in the last quarter.
-
:pray :pray :pray :pray pies lose please
-
Talk about intense. Old school brute force footy (what Dimma has been teaching us). A quarter of momentum swings as well. Hawks early but didn't put it on the scoreboard; Pies then got on top in the midfield for 5 mins to hit the lead; Hawks then get a lucky goal (Roughead not pinged for holding the ball) to swing the momentum back and get on top. Hawks look to have the better ammo but as you say tiger101 injuries could hurt them in the long run during the finals series. First Guerra last week and now Whitecross looks to have done his ACL.

Tonight it seems like Collingwood could go on a quick burst of goals at any time.
Now I've said that the hawks will probably go bang bang and get back to back goals within a couple of minutes.

Another dodgy free swings the momentum although it was paid against Maxwell so who cares lol.

Geelong and Hawks is a match up of the finals I wanna see the most.
I think we will see a hawks v collingwood grand final now though.
-
2 teams I just don't want to win would rather skunks as can't see them going all the way and makes it harder for dawks, that said dawks look the goods atm
-
I hope neither of these two win the flag as both sets of supporters are unbearable. Rather an interstate side wins it so we won't hear anything over summer here in Melbourne. Mind you the Hawks are looking too good at the minute. Only Geelong if they make the Granny would make them feel nervous.
-
Geelong and Hawks can only clash in a prelim can't they?
Geelong beat Freo they go on to play loser of Sydney and Crows, then on to Hawks if they get through that?

Even better. Geelong will expect to beat Freo tomorrow night at the 'G and would back themselves even away against the Swans or Crows.
Btw how about the dorky Crow supporters at Adelaide airport singing their song as the Swans arrived. Welcome to Adelaide :lol.

Heaps are going Adelaide. Definitely will get help with home town advantage, but I'm going Sydney. I just thought Adelaide looked like they were running out of steam towards the end of the season and even though Sydney lost they played better sides. Then again, game will be hot around the contests but IMO Adelaide can be more damaging on the outside.
Could nearly flip a coin on this one ;D
-
The Swans' experience in finals is showing so far. They've congested and out-muscled Adelaide and and shut down their run forcing the Crows to go for low percentage long bombs making it hard for Walker and Tippett. Goodes is have a blinder after a so-so H/A season. Morton has had 5 touches, done a couple of nice things and kicked a goal.
-
Brutal quarter of footy. The Swans have turned this game into trench warfare. Morton with 2 goals now in a low scoring affair.
-
Morton has been the X factor up forward, only 2 goals. Some good marks and a goal assist to jetta in the last quarter. Good luck to him! Happy that he's got a game in the side and hasn't just sat back and watched, .
Talia holding his wrist, RSI from using it on walker :lol

Too right everyone deserves a second chance
Shows what a great club culture does to a player
-
Talia is a big loss for the Crows given he would've played on either Hawkins or Pavlich next week. Dangerfield could also miss after he was accidently whacked in the jaw. In any case Adelaide had a soft draw this year so they we're always the most suspect of the top clubs. If Geelong win tonight it won't be a surprise if the Crows go out in straight sets. No doubt 5AA will be going feral as we speak :lol.
Morton had 14 possies, 5 marks, 4 tackles and kicked 2 goals. A great effort. Being allowed to play close to goal as a midsized lead-up forward suits him.
-
Freo 5 goals to zip over the Cats :o. Pav with 3.
-
Geelong better start playing otherwise this could be over before half time.
Ideally geelong need 1 or 2 goals this quarter to get some momentum back.
-
they looked shell shocked heading to the 1/4 time huddle
-
Their delivery into the forward 50 is terrible. Kicking it to spots where fremanlte have an extra player. They been out marking them 2 on 1.
-
Bye bye Cats for 2012.
Scarlett retires? Is the era over. I hope so. Time for us to take their place. :pray
-
Masterstroke pulling Lyon over to the west
Makes our loss to them not look all so bad
Different team under Lyon
As for Geelong, aaah that's a shame
-
I agree daniel, I feel a little better over the Freo losses.
Credit where it's due, Pav was amazing. Captain's knock :cheers
Scarlett gone and many others retiring over the next few years, I think Geelong may remain competitive but their reign may be over.
-
Pav another 6 goals at the 'G. Geelong like us didn't respect Freo at the 'G and paid the price. Lyon will now feel vindicated jumping off the sinking Saints to Freo.
Geelong fought back to only lose by 16 points but even they can't get back from nearly 7 goals down at 1/4 time. Their era of dominance is drawing to a close. Scarlett will now retire and a couple of other older Cats will think about whether to go on. Even if they do the likes of Corey, Enright, Chapman, Pods and Josh Hunt are unlikely to be around in 2-3 years time. Then you have Bartel, Kelly and Johnson approaching 30 next year. The cliff-face is fast approaching for any side that will lose so many champion players.
The biggest thing to come out of tonight though is the flag is now for taking for Hawthorn with their bogey side knocked out.
-
Their delivery into the forward 50 is terrible. Kicking it to spots where fremanlte have an extra player. They been out marking them 2 on 1.
It's not just an extra player. Freo crams three quarters of their team into Geelong's forward 50 time and again. It's the same crap they did against us. There's just no way to get clean entry into the forward line against this congested mess. I wish the AFL would put a cap on the number of rotations and put an end once and for all to this Ross Lyon rugby rubbish.

Adrain Anderson said something about it the other week when he appeared On The Couch as a way to cut down on numbers crowding around stoppages.
-
They were talking about having a certain number of players in each forward 50 for center bounces.
-
Scarlett gone and many others retiring over the next few years, I think Geelong may remain competitive but their reign may be over.
They have the top end talent to still make the finals but I can't see them winning the flag. I don't think they would of beating the hawks if they made it through to play them. It now really is the Hawks premiership to lose.

9 goals down. They are getting belted.
Just like Bombers did last year when they was just making up the numbers.

Well they've got their 2 goals but are still getting belted by 9 goals
Just goes to prove like Geelong last night doesn't matter how good your form is during the H&A come finals time you can't be off your game one iota.

Awesome display of football by the Eagles

North = the new Essendon. Scraped into the finals thanks to a soft draw and then rightfully got annihlated :yep.
I hope we play North in round 2 as Brent Harvey should be rubbed out for the first few rounds. Like Maxwell another sniper ::).

The problem for North is he is still one of their best players and will leave a big hole when he retires. Even Petrie is 30 who is their next best. Apart from Swallow it's hard to find any other A-graders at North coming through who will be around in 3 years time. They have a very even side which with a soft draw has got them to 8th but it's mediocre when measured up against the best. A tougher draw next year and they could easily drop down the ladder a few pegs.

Boys Boys Boys
Since Nought fortunately won the flag in 1999 here are the stats.
2000 losses by 125 & 50
2005 loss by 89
2007 losses by 106 & 87
2012 loss by 96
Have not included losses albeit by 38 pts in 2002 & 33 in 2008 coupled in with 2 narrow wins against the Hawks in 2000 & 2007.
Skataboner spirit right there boys. :lol :rollin :lol
-
So that's an 80% losing finals record since their last premiership with an average losing margin of 78pts.... :lol
Gee whiz wouldn't you love to come up against them in finals, September bunnies
Shinboner spirit when it counts :lol

I still admire their mental strength and winning culture despite this horrific setback

He's been pinged for whacking 2 blokes :gobdrop
He's copped 3 weeks for his behind the play hit on Kerr
And then another week for striking Selwood (it's 2 weeks but reduced to 1 with an early plea)

Yep small sniper.
Would like to see someone just crush him like an ant on the field but that would turn him into an unfortunate victim and then the sympathy cards filled with how great he is will just be a bore.
He got what he deserved. No more goals pointing at his number like a soccer player or putting his hand to his ear and making out like he can't hear the crowd. Is their anyone in that club who does anything original. :lol :rollin :lol
-
Nobody with freckles has the birthright to a temper.
-
Finally Harvey and Maxwell each cop their right whack. Now all we need is for us to get North during rounds 2-4 next year so we don't have to witness more sniping from Harvey.
-
putting his hand to his ear and making out like he can't hear the crowd.
Now I'm no Boomer fan but in his defence it would be hard to hear the 2 men cheering over the barking dog.

Harvey gets 6.
NORTH Melbourne veteran Brent Harvey will miss the first six rounds next season after the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night upheld two striking charges from the elimination final loss to West Coast.
Harvey could have accepted a four-match ban from the Match Review Panel if he had entered early guilty pleas to striking offences against Eagles Daniel Kerr and Adam Selwood.
But in challenging the MRP's findings Harvey risked and, ultimately, received an extra two weeks on the sidelines.
The Kerr charge arose from an incident near three-quarter time in last Sunday's game when Harvey appeared to strike Kerr high with his elbow. Kerr fell to the ground momentarily but was soon back on his feet and played out the game.
The MRP assessed Harvey's conduct as intentional, medium impact and involving high contact, earning him 325 demerit points.
Harvey had 93.75 carryover demerit points that increased his penalty to 418.75 points. But an early plea would have reduced that to 314 points and a three-match suspension.
The Selwood charge arose from an incident in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's game, after which the Eagle was forced to leave the ground under the blood rule.
The MRP assessed Harvey's conduct as reckless, medium impact and involving high contact, earning him 225 demerit points and a two-match suspension.
However, an early guilty plea would have reduced that penalty to 168.75 points and a one-match suspension.

Canberra
Hobart
Ballarat
Gold Coast
Sunbury
Mykonos

lulz I didn't think Norf could become a bigger joke this week. But they have well and truly outdone themselves. Without their star attraction for 6 weeks the club will struggle to entice the two men to bring the dog along and I can see them folding. :shh

Tried to get it down graded to "reckless" rather than intentional
;D ;D
It's called "karma"
Got what he deserved an extra 2 weeks for being a moron and thinking he'd get off for whacking someone 40 odd metres off the ball
Perfect penalty for the perfect snipe :clapping :clapping

:ROTFL

Flogged by 96 points after scraping into 8th spot.
Havery suspended for six weeks.
Anything that derails North's 2013 is good news for us :thumbsup

He can't extra but his penalty can be reduced :banghead

Hope he challenges and gets more weeks - little turd
-
Eff me. Freo look good. Mayne putting on a clinic.
-
Crows have fought back to stay in the game. Now it's down to who has the legs in the second half. If Adelaide loses then it'll show up that they only finished high up on the ladder due to their soft draw.
-
That's why I'm going for Freo, MT. And it makes me feel better about losing to them twice :lol
How good was Sloane's one hander. The Pav hasn't even entered the game yet either.
-
Crows are right back in it now.
37 - 44
-
nothing in that. umpire gifts fremantle a goal. wait on Hill missed.
They needed that goal to stop crows momentum.
-
We have a ball game :cheers
-
Poos and wees may as well start queuing
-
For Freo this is very similar to when we played Adelaide this year over there. A fast start in the first quarter and then stop. The six day break seems to be counting against Freo. The Crows are getting more numbers to the fall of the ball and have all the run. The only thing that could help Freo is the Crows would've used a lot of energy playing catch up and may tire but right now you would have Adelaide as favourites to win. Freo need Pav to come alive in the last qtr as he's been well beaten by Rutten so far.
-
Dockers back in front. And Pav with another.
Pitiful attendance for a semi-final btw. 31k after 44k last week. For some reason in recent years the semis have been the soft week of the finals. If it was us though we'd easily get a big crowd.
Crows get one back. Back to Freo up by just 1 pt.
-
Crows home now you'd reckon.
Alex Silvagni has had a shocker. Freo have missed McPharlin big time tonight.
Edit: back to 10 but Adelaide should still win with 3 mins to go.
-
Freo went heave ho and turned off.
Hawks should pump Adelaide at the G.
-
Bling to play a prelim.....in for Petrenko :shh
-
Hope the Crows peck the eyes out of the Hawks.
-
Yep dwaino. Hawks fans will be booking GF tickets as we speak. If Freo weren't coming off two six day breaks plus back to back travel they would've got through. Back to reality for the Crows next week.
-
I think the Crows can win. Tex & Tippett will dine out on Schoenmakers.
-
Hope the Crows peck the eyes out of the Hawks.
Only if collingwood lose tonight, which I dont think they will lose
If pies lose, then yes please
will set up a crows vs swans, eagles GF... nut thats still a way away :shh
-
Watching the game last night and I couldn't help but wonder how Fyfe got to pick 20. He looks alot like a young jimmy hird. Will be an absolute gun in years to come.
-
Way back when Freo beat us in the slop by congesting our forward line so badly that you couldn't squeeze a fart through it, I said I would dance on their grave the day their season died. Well, here I am doing the Macarena baby :dancing

Yesss the Big Man look at him goooooo :clapping
-
Cmon eagles! 11 pts up at half time. Make my weekend pleeeeez :pray
-
Who was meant to be on Thomas in the first 15 mins of that qtr? An exact copy of what happened to us.
The Pies were virtually home before that Darling goal. Now a gettable 10 pts. Let's hope the Colliwobbles start :pray
-
All together now!

Eagles in front ;D

Darn
-
The umpires put the whistle away after half time. Handed it to Collingwood on a platter!
-
:damnpc :chuck
What's worse is Sydney's bogey side is Collingwood. They haven't beaten for the 6-7 years.
Anyway I hope Dimma had our boys watching those last 5 mins and learn how to control possession and maintain a 2 goal lead late in the game. Mids gut running with 100m sprinting leads up into space one after the other to maintain possession.
-
But Hawthorn > Collingwood.
Will fall short again. Oh too bad :cheers

Sydney not having to travel could help them run out the game better like all home sides(Adelaide, Collingwood) did this weekend.

Fantastic result at the tribunal Harvey's 6 weeks stands. Got what he deserved. Pity they couldn't increase for being an idiot in appealing
-
Harvey's appeal failed.
Brent Harvey will miss the opening six rounds of next season after his case at the AFL Appeals Board was dismissed on Tuesday night.

I'm hoping for an upset and an all interstate Grand Final but it's hard to see the Crows getting within 7 goals of the Hawks based on the current form of both sides. The Pies have the wood (excuse the pun) on the Swans but I'm hoping the week off will finally get Sydney over the line so we don't have to put up with another week of Collingwood this and Collingwood that :sleep. Having said that a Hawthorn vs Sydney Grand Final will be frustrating to watch as a Tiger supporter given we flogged both sides during the year :-\. Our best 22 footy can beat anybody on the day but also our worst footy can still lose to anybody and that's why we didn't play finals this year.
