Given it is a six-day break for them afer the Darwin game, it would also put a large dent in the post-Darwin effect theory ...

Perhaps it's more a case of we just been plain [censored] for the past 8 years so it wouldn't matter if we came back from Darwin or we played back to back at the G.......

Exactly! Just made a very similar comment in the match preview thread.

Geelong playing some lazy footy tonight, plus there are plenty of spuds running around for them.  Cockatoo, Ruggles, Murdoch, McCarthy etc.  Take away a few of the experienced players and they are exposed for the very average players they are.

I like McCarthy, he shows a bit, he has been alright in their recent losses while alot of there others have been pretty [censored]. He is no star but he is consistent and he puts pressure on. He would get a game over Kennedy or Kent in our side

Edit: As if on cue he takes a very nice grab

Or maybe the Shockers are tiring right now...

[whatwhat say what 20,043]

my god dangerfield is good.

[Sideshow Bob 2,165]

Hopefully we haven't gone early here Nasher - still a good chance for Freo to fatigue badly in the second half and fully get pantsed. In which case there may some merit to it

True. Or possibly they are just [censored] like we used to be ...

Even if they got flogged - you could never be sure it was fatigue, given how Freo have gone in general this year.

He's awesome.  That was totally out of bounds though.

[whatwhat say what 20,043]

you reckon? i don't reckon the whole ball was over the line...

 

besides, a boundary umpire not out of bounds ruling cost the filth a flag, so i'm all for them.

[daisycutter 28,713]

reckon danger was over the boundary (ball that is)

That angle I saw showed Dangerfield himself entirely outside the boundary, with the ball on the out-of-bounds side of his body.  Unless I've misunderstood physics really badly, it could not possibly have been in.

The boundary umpire couldn't have been in a better position either to call it.

I know.  So frustrating; the boundary umpire has ONE job to do.  Get it right.

Titus in good form: Hawthorn finally have a side capable of winning a premiership.

"Whether they get there this year or not, Hawthorn are on the right track and it's good to see another team challenge for the ultimate prize."

I love Titus.  I thought his style of one-liners would get tedious after a while, but after months, it just hasn't.

This Dockers Vs Dangerfield game is oddly compelling.
