AFL Round 13 - they're all non MFC Games

Hird in his presser " ...it's because of the media propaganda ..."

Que?

Classic propaganda technique, not unlike the way the extremely right-wing Fox News continually call themselves "fair and balanced" while attacking all other media for being lefties. It's their way of pushing the idea of 'neutrality' further in their direction.

Basically an attempt to paint the ridiculously pro-Essendon media as "neutral". Pathetic and the all-too-predictable next step for Hird's ilk to keep public perception in his favour. I think that's well and truly a lost cause. The only people against the WADA appeal now appear to be Essendon supporters.

There's a lot of arrogant blokes associated with the game of AFL, but I reckon Hird would be king. An absolute A grade [censored]. I hope we smash his team and he gets the sack right after the game.

EDIT. Had to change my insult there. My rather obscene swear word passed through the filter.

if we beat the bombers by 10 goals surely Hird gets the chop?

Well, whenever we beat a team, all the discussion is usually about our poor the opposition was. I wonder how long that will continue. Smashing them would be brilliant though.

Watching the game tonight and i think this must be the first time i've watched a Dogs game that Luke Darcy has commentated.

This guy has to be up there with Eddie & Derwayne Wussell with the biggest cheer squad members in the commentary box. Not hiding who he wants to win one iota.

Delusional. Absolutely delusional. He is a cancer that bloke. Perhaps, I'd rather he stays put and continues to kill that club.

But as our old mate Titus says:

Titus O'Reily ‏@TitusOReily 14 mins14 minutes ago

Unfortunately, we don't know what type of drug Sam Mitchell was pretending to inject. #AFLHawksDons

Ahaha. Is there a sharper wit in AFL circles than Titus at the moment?

He's already the least insightful of commentators and probably the worst commentator out there. He's somehow managed to be worse tonight. His bias is pathetic. He sounds far more energetic calling this game though.

Looks like the unstoppable tandem of Boyd and Stringer are being stopped.

Maybe Brisbane just made them (and Waite, Riewoldt, Dixon, Casboult, Daniher) look good?

Who would have thunk it?

What's happened to Crameri? What have I missed there? I gather he's injured? Stringer is not a KPF. Handy, but wouldn't put the fear in me if I had two serviceable KPDs.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

This game is putrid, no forwards to kick it to and those who are forwards are pretty terrible (Tom Boyd especially).

Apparently he's playing for Footscray tomorrow.

WB vs STK is terrible. Makes our lose to STK even harder to swallow.

[Devil is in the Detail 883]

I have started watching Zorro on GO!

[Adam The God 30,261]

I might just watch our replay for a fifth time.

[whatwhat say what 22,773]

Tom Boyd is the new Jack Watts. He'll cop it all the time unless he's an out and out superster.

BTand Daaaaaaaaaaaaaarce are the worst commentary combo imaginable.

[Adam The God 30,261]

Thought this might be close though. It's why I've kept it on in the background.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Just makes Boyd's rising star nomination last week all the more laughable. Anyone who actually watched the game and didn't just read the stats knows he had minimal impact and was gifted 3 of his 4 goals.

[Adam The God 30,261]

This'll be a draw.

I stand corrected.

"The high-priced forward had some good fortune go his way for three of his goals, but he used that to build his confidence for a breakout game of 12 touches and six marks – four of which were contested."

Quoted from afl.com.au article about Boyd's nomination.

Softest nomination ever?

What a [censored] game

Has to be up there.

He was on SEN during the week and Schwarz was basically pulling the [censored] out of him.

For what it's worth Catherine Zeta Jones is gorgeous.
