Around the League Round 6

[Maple Demon 449]

It has only been four days since the last footy match which, as a contest, sucked (although I can't say I was too terribly sad to see Essendon take a hiding). Looking forward to this rounds matches, I see a round of potential extremes. I have a feeling that the games will either be close (under 2 goals) or massively lopsided. Anyway, we shall see what the future holds.

Very tough tipping round, this is the best season of AFL in a long time (Melbourne's form included).

I'm disgusted that our government has stopped funding our disabled athletes from cheating their way to Olympic glory. 

A C.:;; t Affair has opened my eyes to how devious these disabled people are.

I'm intrigued by tonight's match. 

Given the Bulldog's injuries, i'm not yet convinced that they can cover the absentees. Yes they've played well, and you can only defeat the opposition in front of you. But the only teams they've beaten are Carlton, St Kilda, Brisbane (all 1-4) and Fremantle (0-5). Yes they ran Hawthorn close, but so did St Kilda.

Tonight should give a good indication of where they're at. I actually hope they win. Can't stand the poos!

Very intriguing match for sure. Could be the top 2 after Round 6, but funnily enough I dont see either team playing off in the GF

It is always beer o'clock somewhere in the world.

[Maple Demon 449]

I just want the Bullies to win tonight; tipping a winning margin of 17-27. Hope they win by more.  Really, really don't want the Kangaroos to win.  Don't know why, but I really don't like the team and never have.

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Did anyone watch the openning on channel 7? The commentators getting title shots like their starring in some Hollywood blockbuster!

We don't give a 5hit about the commentators, just show us the footy!!!!

[Ted Lasso 17,133]

Should be a good game, i reckon North will really struggle against sides like Hawthorn and Sydney because they don't have a great defense 

[Maple Demon 449]

Picken roll!

exactly, they can afford follies like that but can't even film at better than 576i resolution ffs

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Shocking deliberate call against Thompson before!

[daisycutter 28,692]

now ffs, 8m kick paid a mark right in front [censored] disgraceful

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Bulldogs being found out a bit tonight, they lack that big target up forward to kick to.  Lots of their entries inside 50 are to small or medium size forwards, North picking them off too easily.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Every time I see Norf play, they seem to get an amazingly good run with the maggots.

 

one reason I hate them

I think it's more the lack of good kicks off HB, they're not as composed going forward. They're missing some class and it does show but I wouldn't write them off yet...

absolutely stupid.  Anyone (but rjay apparently) can see he was hitting it to a team mate but hit it too hard.

Frees currently 6-12 in the Dogs favour.

[monoccular 16,413]

Norf getting a fantastic ride from the maggots, again.

Not just 50/50 frees paid but also those not paid.

How was that "handball" by their defenders right in front of Dogs' goal.  And 7 refuse to comment.  Very ordinary.

Wow, hasn't felt that way 

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Bit of Richmond about the dogs tonight. Too many sideways handballs, not enough instinctual kicking. 

Flipside North are carving them up by foot. 

[Moonshadow 16,411]

How was that a free to Higgins? Well played by Norf teammate in the yellow.

[monoccular 16,413]

OMG shepherd to Norf when the Norf guy actually dragged him off.

Corruption at AFL runs deep

[sue 8,477]

umpiring is a joke
