Re: That sinking feeling when .....

I thought they said 2018! So now I have to wait an extra two years? Shattered. I think that was to make finals but we wont win it till 2020. I have already booked in my first Tatt and holidays and a couple of nights at crown. They were surprised I booked so far ahead though but when I explained it ...

Re: Rewatching 09/10 tonight on the AFL marathon

I seem to remember a McQualter missed tackle in 09 that was a killer. Also shows that geary and gilbert are liabilities and should be moved on. Neither can kick or handball. So a game where one didn't even play shows those 2 are liabilities? Yep that makes sense. Anyway I have some news for you and...

Re: Cyril to Hill.....game over!!

How did Darling go today? lol Well being at the game it was like he dropped the world cup when he missed a mark my 107 grandmother takes daily. The WCE had controlled play for nearly 30 minutes when that happened and that would have put them within 19 points but alas the Hawks rebound goal and then...

I gather its crowded? Hope you get a good seat. I luckily have my seat so its Transport at 10 for a round and then the car park for a few more and then into the ground around 2.20 for the game.

Re: Rewatching 09/10 tonight on the AFL marathon

So you never got the poor kicking by a couple of players at goal as any sort of reason why we lost? That is my memory but I will never watch a second of those games to confirm it.

Re: Cripps & our rejects who had the last laugh

Embarrassing but I will say one thing more. Cripps exact words to me were I played as a mid and a small forward in senior footy. And its funny that this soft footballer continues to be played by the coaches he has had in good and bad sides. 73 games in 5 years is pretty bloody good and whilst he is ...

Re: Send your message of condolence to Ross Lyin.

Unless Ross' record with recruiting and list management changes he will always be a bridesmaid, he knows his forward line sucks, he and his club just can't recruit the players necessary to fix the problem. They don't develop the ones they do recruit into players capable of filling those roles eithe...

Re: Cripps & our rejects who had the last laugh

Haha Yeah, he's a star ... With the numbers to back it up It'd be difficult for a small fwd in the highest scoring team in the AFL Most goals are from mid turn overs, when a side is pressing and he gets out the back. If you do bother to notice, you'd see a majority of scores are running into an ope...

Re: 2015 GF - who will win and why

Yes agree. I'm on the fence tomorrow. I like the concept of seeing a side win 3 in a row and actually witnessing all 3 live, but don't dislike WCE. At least they aren't drugfucked like they were a decade ago. And as for Cripps - he's a traitor so I don't care about him and Hutchings was a delisted ...

Hawks by 3 goals. But not unhappy if WCE wins either. Just a relief to go to a non-offensive grand final where I don't actively hate one of the teams! Hoping the hot weather brings out a bit of colour in the crowd and they don't run out of beer! Wouldn't it actually better if you hated a side. God ...

Re: Luke Dunstan and Concussion

I don't need to research because I listen to the head doctor of the AFL. Is that study on AFL footy? If not it probably isn't relevant and I'm sure I can google studies that show they don't help. The point is AFL players wont be told to wear helmets in my lifetime. There are more hits to the head in...

Personally, I hate him - but setting that aside... You'd think he would've been embarrassed listening to Nat Fyfe accepting the Brownlow when he said he'd 'live and die' for the Fremantle footy club.

Re: Luke Dunstan and Concussion

Why helmets aren't compulsory in the AFL defies belief. If wearing helmets prevents just one case of permanent brain damage, then it is worth it. I guess it will come down to what I've termed "Coroner's Court Syndrome", meaning someone has to die before the law and behaviour changes. The ...

They take NO chances with concussion today, which is why Luke and DMac have missed games. Compare that to Burkey and, long before him, Paul Callery who seemed to get pole-axed every few games. It is th players from the past emerging with issues now. They DO take chances though! As I said, the UFC p...
