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.

    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.

    i think you will be hungry

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

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

    Change the white to dark blue...

  • Quote

    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.

    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...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
