AFL - Round 8 (non MFC Games)

[Ethan Tremblay 30,967]

GWS looking scary, they will have some success, not that anyone will care.

How boring and insignificant is GWS getting some success.

I can imagine the hierarchy at AFL HQ giving each other a pat on the back.

I care because the AFL have handed them a free ride at the expense of the old clubs which were unfortunate enough to be near the bottom in recent years and which may within a few years eliminate the club I barrack for as well as a couple of others I have sympathy for.

Couple that with the sycophantic commentary they get on TV (in the NSW region free TV doesn't miss a GWS game) and the absolutely annoying spruiker at their home games who blasts your ears geeing up GWS in a nauseating fashion - I hate them with a passion. Almost as much as I hate the AFL's corrupt admin.

about as boring & insignificant as MFC losing another 18 in a season

The AFL may applaud the success of GWS. BUT, they should be worried by all the one-sided games.

Last week 6 of the 9 games were never in doubt from the beginning. Big winning margins.

This week:

Geel d Carl: 140 to 63

WC d StK: 131 to 78

GWS d Adel: 108 to 84 (after GWS started to cruise in the last allowing Adel to kick a few)

Coll seems to be off to a smashing start vs GCS.

Are the AFL worried? I doubt it. They want 9 games per week for their tv rights. Then the tv networks dictate what games get telecast FTA and time slots. Good teams get good time slots, poor teams...well...you know the drill.

AFL footy is becoming dead set boring.

AFL heartland in Victoria except for Hawthorn and Geelong....is in a dark place. I was always against the GWS and now the AFL can hang their hats on screwing football in its heartland. I sit back and watch sides like West Coke, Fremantle, Sydney Port Adelaide and now GWS dominate the AFL and wipe their backsides with some of the heartland clubs such as the Dees.

The fault lies with Victorian clubs and the AFL combined....heartland supporters get excited with the occasional win these days in comparison with their interstate colleagues who share finals chocolates on a regular basis.

What a cluster [censored] the AFL has created with GWS

Barring further injuries we will beat the Pies come QB. They are just travelling.

How about we get through tomorrow first..

If you haven't notice we aren't going that well to be saying who we should beat.

Ive noticed, let's just say it's a gut feeling.

I've got a shite load on the Hawks tonight. If they lose Biffen will have to buy me lunch tomorrow. Which translates as, if they lose I don't eat.

Now I'm worried. I might have to invite Moonshadow along to pay .... but he's a boring bastard.

Great, your shout for lunch tomorrow when the Hawks get up.

[Sir Why You Little 37,133]

Go Swanettes!!

[Sir Why You Little 37,133]

Swans 5 goals up

Enjoy the game Chip!!!

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

Wonder how many of our boys are watching tonight.

[Sir Why You Little 37,133]

Aah to dream the MFC could ever play a quarter like the Swans just played.

Change the white to dark blue...

[dees189227 12,400]

wow what a game. Its a shame the swans are deciding to show this aggression now and not when it counted in last years gf.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

So that what tackling looks like.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,967]

BBO seemed pretty confident in the Hawks getting up so I followed his lead and put some money on them. Now regret that decision.

He owes me a beer.

"The Hawks fans hate it when they think they're goal will get taken away in review." - Richo.

Don't think any fan likes it. Kept it up Richo.

I hope that I'll live to see us attack the man with the ball like that. Swannies missed out on a chance to take Cyril out in a one on one making contest. The Hawks would have straight through Hannebery or Parker in the same situation. So I think they're more ruthless and will get up. I tell you,watching good footy live is good for the soul. Pity my team can't deliver...

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

How good was Burgoyne's tackle?....bang

[frankie_d 1,471]

Roughead on the ball. Not on the ruck

[Sir Why You Little 37,133]

Roughead has such a rough head!
