Round 21 (Non MFC Games)

[jumbo returns 6,619]

I love it when the Scott wankers blow a fuse.

Makes me happy.

[monoccular 16,615]

I thought he was staging too but the replay showed he copped high contact from the legs of a StKilda player running past. Wasn't much in it but the umpiring in recent weeks is all over the shop.

and they want to dilute what little talent they have by having four of them on the field. Eventually they will want 20, one for each pair of players.

Did anyone see the boy dressed up as an umpire? Good on him, I've never seen that before, I bet the umpires were loving that...first time they have had "supporters" in the crowd

[SaberFang 7,141]

As amusing as it was, err.. how exactly did he get a kids-sized umpire uniform unless it was a blatantly pre-arranged, AFL-endorsed placement?

[Je Roos Salem 661]

It sounds like most of us wanted the Sainters to get up...

Nah we have to finish 13th!

[CBDees 3,162]

What a great round it has been to date. I don't know what gave me the most pleasure: seeing the Pies get pole axed by the Tiges by 91 points or seeking Essendon fall by 2 points to the Suns!

They're equally amusing in unequal ways. Both gave me much happiness though.

Saints ruining Geelong's finals chances would've been the trifecta of perfection though.

[chook fowler 18,559]

Geelong are a very ordinary side and don't deserve to be in the finals. Their older players have had it and the younger ones are mediocre. See Chris Scott is bleating about the umpiring - what a wanqer.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Would be a complete injustice if Geelong made finals over Adelaide. Sadly, looking at the draw, it seems more likely than not that Geelong will make it. For Adelaide to win, they need to either 1) beat West Coast next week or 2) beat Geelong at Skilled. Neither are an easy feat.

The only alternative was Geelong losing tonight, which would've ended their season. OR Geelong losing next week to Collingwood, which appears highly unlikely. Damn.

Given their patchy form I think Geelong could easily lose one in the last two rounds. Then again North aren't entirely safe in the 8, appears unlikely but still they have 3 tough opponents to face

Geelong are like herpes they just wont go away and are equally annoying

Q. What is the difference between Collingwood and herpes?

A. Herpes is forever!

Arent they on sale for $110.00, then there's the away top, heritage round.....

I want to finish above the saints

I'm really hoping that Adelaide wins that Round 23 game v Geelong which would make the fact that their earlier game was cancelled totally irrelevant as far as the makeup of the final eight is concerned.

I also would like us to win today to go ahead of St. Kilda on the ladder and stay that way. The commentariat are speaking of St. Kilda almost in tones of this being a breakout year and how brilliant their future will be with all their young players. Sure, they're doing well and they have some good kids but they are doing it off the back of a solid core of veterans like Riewoldt and Fisher (10 marks each last night), Gilbert, Montagna etc who will all have to be replaced very soon. They are not in fact a very young side at all.

Of course North do this to me when I tip them. Useless team.

Dunstall saying what we all say.

Thomas just playing for free kicks, throwing himself to the ground.

AFL needs to fine this f!og for all his acting and diving.

Only a goal down now...

[SaberFang 7,141]

Only a goal down now...

They'll definitely still lose.* North are hopeless; half their team need walking frames just to finish training.

Felt they were lucky to beat us. Big mistake by them thinking they were in a Premiership window (whatever that means).
