AFL Round 3 - Non MFC Games (2017)

[Adam The God 30,261]

Let's be honest. Sydney have been horrible here and Collingwood are only 15 points up.

oh, you don't need footage of Buckley confidently gulping water in the coaches box...

Gee, Bruce is an ordinary commentator these days. Shouldn't have come out of retirement. 

[rjay 24,931]

The commentary has been deplorable....they have been told to talk the pies up at any opportunity, either that or they really are dumb. 

Collingwood were hitting targets in the first Q and Ling was orgasmic, the only problem was the Swans pressure was non existent.

It was like they were doing a match simulation, allowing Collingwood to practice their short field kicking.

As soon as the Swans started to put a bit of pressure on in the 2nd Q the Pies kicking started to look ordinary again.

Come on Swans put it together, bring up the pressure and you win this one.

Ah.. there you have it

Collingwood, Essendon and of course Hawthorn = Ratings

Don't particularly like the Swans (they have had their success) but there is some inner happiness when Collingwood implodes....

the kicking in this game is so bad

[whatwhat say what 22,772]

first decent thing treloar has done tonight right there - and yep, it looked magnificent. he does something useful with the ball i reckon 1 in 3 times, and he actually managed to join 3 together in that passage of play.

goals of the year? what crack is lingy on?

[Adam The God 30,261]

Sydney actually don't look like it tonight.

Strange observation/question from just before the game started.  One of the trainers rubbed something on both of Buddy's arms and his arms were shiny afterwards.  Looked like they were covered in baby oil or something.  Can anyone clarify for me what it was?

When was the last time a side started 0-3 and made finals?

A lot of guys grease up so as not to be tackled so easily

It could be one of a number of lubricants. Back in my clubbing days I use to apply coconut oil onto my arms.

Alir reads the play well and lays a decent tackle.

Would think that if Harmes/Bugg or Melksham don't come on this year, we could try and trade one of them for Zak Jones and convince him to nominate Melbourne. I think he's coming out of contract, and has a lot of potential as a 22 year old.

Collingwood have taken handball lessons from Luke Beveridge -- how many times do they get away with blatant throws.

And outrageous free to Collingwood for  below the knees when it was actually kicking in danger.

Sydney don't look like it, but if they're to be a top 4 team this year, it's the sort of game you'd expect them to eventually run over the top of a Collingwood-type. 

I'm running out of fingers counting the amount of times one of the commentators (mainly Bruce) has misjudged a goal. He's a painful commentator nowadays.
