Around the League Round 6

[monoccular 16,415]

Frenetic pace but turnovers ++ from both sides. 

[hardtack 10,158]

Fast game, but the kicking skills are terrible tonight.

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

He's an AFL footballer not a park player...

Agree with you on this one though 'sue', it's making a mockery of the game.

What was that Ziebell half time intrview? The guys playing a game and hes sitting down at halftime with headphones on talking to Carey and Ling.. could tell he had zero interest in doing it

Channel 7 are the worst

[dl4e 5,648]

Shocking disposal by foot.

They're the worst those interviews aren't they! Next thing you know they'll start interviewing players while they're lining up for goal.

[John Crow Batty 8,317]

Not unexpected that so many disposal errors are occuring. The  game this year with its frenetic focus on attack is like a crap shoot. Our last game had plenty of them for both sides. And for us it's hasn't hurt us at all like in the past.

Geez the doggies are missing Suckling, Bob and JJ

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Reckon North are getting a tough run. Both Goldstein & Higgins have taken marks that the umpires didn't pay.

The Higgins one has probably cost them a goal.

They are a young team, take out three of their best, most experienced players and they were always going to be in trouble. Tonight is just showing me, yet again, how overrated I think Norf are

Correct call re Higgins in front of goal by ump IMO

[MadAsHell 4,089]

North exposing Bulldogs lack of key position players at either end.

[Ted Lasso 17,139]

Anyone else think Stringer has gone backwards? i haven't been at all impressed with anything he's done this year.

[DubDee 21,306]

Not a great game of footy. 

Dogs look to be overrated. A top 4 contender should be able to cover a couple of injuries  their composure and know cling inside 50 have been horrible

wells and Waite are adding a lot to the Roos this year. Reckon they'll be top 4

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

 A bit of common sense with the deliberate rule by the umpires would be a good thing

[Deemented Are Go! 3,642]

Does anyone reckon Petrie looks a bit like Tony Abbott?

[monoccular 16,415]

Footscray lack of talls at both ends being severely exposed by Norf talls

Arrogant/narcissist...........take your pick

# Doesn't mean i wouldn't have him in the Red & Blue though!

This has been a great season so far except for Nought Melbourne...

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Anyone care to guess how Stringer can run the ball over the line while being tackled and it's not deliberate while Luke McDonald spoils a marking contest and gathers the ball as it's going over the line but gets called on it?

This new ruling on it is a joke!

It's their kicking skills that are being missed most 'Rod' along with the composure and experience of Murphy.

The lack of talls could be covered if they were using the ball better, but they're not.

I think he's been listening to the Ablett snr comparisons and trying to take mark of the year...he's not but he is good as shown by that great give to Dahlhaus...

[monoccular 16,415]

I must aye I cannot remember - were the Scott Bros such pathetic whingers as players?  It is almost a joke watching both in the coaching box

Are the players, and coaches for that matter, under some obligation to take those interviews during a game?  Absolutely hate it

I agree, looks a bit sooky, too

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Is this the worst 1st v 2nd match ever?
