GAME DAY - Round 17

[Dee Since 73 267]

I love Bernie but WTF has happened with his kicking over the last 3 weeks?

[deanox 9,054]

If you are out of bounds, play on sideways and drop the ball surely that is a throw in?

[SaberFang 7,141]

Oh Bail. Please. Please develop into something better.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Finally taken Clint Bizket's advice and synced the radio to the TV broadcast. It's about a trillion times better than the crap Channel 7 can dish up. Now all they need to do is get with the times and spring for some HD cameras and I'll be golden.

Some goals would be nice too.

They actually film every AFL match in full native HD but only broadcast in SD. They're absolutely hopeless. Ten set the benchmark of how to do free-to-air AFL coverage but the idiot running that company decided not to pursue the last rights deal.

[deanox 9,054]

Bails shot was the right option. Poorly executed but the right option all the same.

[chook fowler 18,651]

Think Vince stuck his head in a pencil sharpener

[Chook 14,711]

I reckon Jeremy Howe has been our best player so far. What's the bet he'll go missing after about quarter time, as usual.

[P-man 13,356]

Really despise comments like this about our players, show some respect in the way talk about players

He is on an AFL list you are not and there is probably a good reason for that

Agree. They give credence to Saty's nonsense. Not warranted.

[dazzledavey36 49,935]

Another week of [censored] pathetic kicking at goal!

[Dee Since 73 267]

Fair dinkum. No umpire in the AFL knows the rules. None of them. Calls advantage, player stops, then gives it back to the original bloke. FFS.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Have we scored the first goal in any match all year? Apart from v St Kilda?

[BAMF 3,928]

If you are out of bounds, play on sideways and drop the ball surely that is a throw in?

You would think so. But as the ball never came back on the ground its not counted.

If a player is out of bounds and takes a free kick and sprays it horribly, the player gets another kick as it never came back into play. Stupid rule.

[chook fowler 18,651]

Our forward efficiency is crap. No one knows where the goals are.

[The Big Ticket 94]

Umpiring so far - [censored].

[chook fowler 18,651]

Sick is us scoring next to nothing in the first half of games.

[Chook 14,711]

At this rate, Germany would beat us.

[BAMF 3,928]

They actually film every AFL match in full native HD but only broadcast in SD. They're absolutely hopeless. Ten set the benchmark of how to do free-to-air AFL coverage but the [censored] running that company decided not to pursue the last rights deal.

Isnt that [censored] Russell howcroft who is on our board?

Why do they film it in hd if they aren't going to screen it?

[Whispering_Jack 28,156]

Have we scored the first goal in any match all year? Apart from v St Kilda?

Pretty sure we kicked the first goal against Collingwood.

[deanox 9,054]

You would think so. But as the ball never came back on the ground its not counted.

If a player is out of bounds and takes a free kick and sprays it horribly, the player gets another kick as it never came back into play. Stupid rule.

Not true unless they changed the rules in the past 2-3 years. I have seen it called "out of bounds" when a player moves of his mark while over the line.

Problem was the field umpire didn't call play on until after the ball had been kicked, meaning that the boundary umpire couldn't call out of bounds.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Same old story, any good work we do is undone by our inability to convert or get a cheap goal.

[chook fowler 18,651]

This horrible to watch

[dazzledavey36 49,935]

See ya chip!

thanks for the compo

[chook fowler 18,651]

Typical - a goal on the siren.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Serving up absolute rubbish again.

Going to go do something productive with my weekend.

[What 18,810]

yet ANOTHER goalless first quarter

Paul Roos needs to get with modern times

Maybe try scoring some goals?

Holy [censored] this is pathetic
