Re: Send the umpires to Disneyland

Why Disneyland, I've been there, it's too much fun, they'll think there getting rewarded.
Mind you some of their decisions did seem to come from Fantasyland.

Re: 8 goals in 8 quarters

Agreed, a very poor finish to an otherwise good season.
I said last week that we played exactly how Sydney wanted us to play and we fell for it again tonight.
Glad it's over, hopefully next year we can eliminate these performances from our repertoire.

Re: Match thread v Eagles

What a crap way to finish off what was a promising season with two successive 90+ point defeats. While there isn't any doubt that West Coast are a much better team than us right now, I do agree with others about the umpires and again it's not what they paid, it is what wasn't paid to us, we should h...

Re: Last win against WCE at Subi

We might get an all mighty shellacking today. Hopefully not! Actually don't think we'll get done to badly. reckon West Coast will simply do what they need to do to win, don't want to risk any injuries especially when they have Hawthorn next week. Probably be one big burst that will seal it for them.

Re: POLL: Which team don't you want to win the Granny?

Anyone but Freo or the Swans. I hate but have to admire the Hawks, West Coast well don't really care, actually don't want the Bulldogs to get ahead of us. North wont, Adelaide would be a fairy tale based on what happened this year, and Richmond's bandwagon's wheels will break with all the fair weath...

Re: That brand of utter garbage football..

this was our first real smashing of the year. Even in our 10 goal losses we were competitive for some of the game. We have a much higher percentage than last year. I expected at best 5 wins, so for me we have finished better than expected. Just want to see them compete next week but West Coasts big ...

Re: Schneider calls stumps

Thanks for your service Adam, always enjoyed watching you play and yes you should have got that free kick.
Mind you bet RL is happy were playing them this week based on what's happened the last two seasons when stellar players announce their retirement.
Let's hope we can do the same to Sydney.

Well good luck to Jason Holmes. Cue is in the rack we are treating these games like practice games now as we should, have nothing to gain at this stage other than experience for these guys and see what future they have.

Re: I hop ethey do.

Holmes could come in for Longer, and Membrey for say Minchington or even Saunders. I do think we are going out to win, but we are also trying guys to see if their worth pursuing. If Holmes plays, I actually expect he will do well in general ruck work, winning plenty of taps and directing them very w...

Re: Squad v Dockers

I just get the feeling that maybe we've put the cue in the rack for the season. It is good to see these guys get a chance to show if they have a future, but I think our run home is rated the toughest in the competition and can't see us winning again this season. Hope I'm wrong, would love to knock G...

Re: Round 22 Adam Goodes

This whole saga has gone on long enough, wont be booing him unless he does something bad to one of our players. My beef is more with Sydney itself and how the rules were bent to accommodate both Tippett and Franklin. Any other club and they wouldn't be having a pick in the draft for a couple of year...

Paul Roos and Ross Lyon

Are these two guys responsible for ugly football? Whilst Roos managed to win one flag, RL hasn't and highly doubtful his current team and style of play will. All Melbourne seemed to do was clog up our forward line to try and keep us to a low enough score they could beat. Might have won one flag, but...

Re: PADDY!!!!

Great game today, one of the few highlights from an otherwise forgettable game.
It was great to win and win relatively easy, but it was ugly to watch, except of course for Paddy which was exciting.

Re: Saints recall McCartin

Well I was happy if we won 5 games, mission accomplished. Good luck to Hugh hope he has a good debut and we'll see if McCartin has learned a bit since we last saw him. Think he really needs a goal in this game. Eli can play, let's hope he can generate that same enthusiasm he had early last year.

The worst one was Membrey who didn't duck, got taken high, then about 5 seconds later the GWS player did duck and was rewarded.

Re: Match thread v Giants

No one is denying we are playing terrible because we are, but hell, when you see one side getting decisions and when the exact same thing happens to us it's either play on or a ball up, the standard of umpiring is as good as what we are playing. Funny, we can't blame it on the interstate crowd becau...

Re: Match thread v Giants

Well, we're not use to playing in front of a 90% empty stadium that holds 25,000 people. One wonders how much money the AFL is pouring into this black hole of a club. Hope they get a final and less than 10,000 people show up. Team should have gone to Tasmania where they actually want a team.

How much money is being poured into this club period, 25,000 capacity ground and I reckon there would be more people at my local club's game here in Hoppers Crossing. How can they afford to pay their players when no one shows up and how many who did show up got free tickets. Be great having a final ...

Re: Come home Brendon

One has to wonder how bad things are at Essendon though. I have never seen a worse game from BJ ever and we all know what a competitor he is. I have no beef with him, just feel sorry he has got caught up in all the crap Essendon have bought down on themselves.
