AFL Round 4 - Non MFC Games (2017)

[What 18,810]

Would love for the Swans to be 0-4 after tonight, unfortunately that would mean a West Coast win but you cant have everything.

Also, 

'HAWTHORN recruit Jaeger O'Meara will miss against Geelong and is not certain to return for the Hawks' round five clash against West Coast after suffering a knee injury against Gold Coast last Sunday.'

Amazing .... just automatically thought it was... just went to turn on the game and Home and Away !!!!!!

[Deemented Are Go! 3,676]

Tough to pick. Went with the Weagles, but both teams look shaky. 

And is it me, or does Domain Stadium look darker than other grounds at night? 

[Lord Travis 10,577]

Not on free to air and not paying live in the AFL app either. I've got a paid subscription in the app and they're not even playing the bloody game! What a rort?!

[Deemented Are Go! 3,676]

Brilliant pack mark from Kennedy. Jeez hes good 

[John Crow Batty 8,837]

Can't watch it on my AFL app. What a fark up!

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,716]

Was reading Demonland with the footy on in the background, while not really watching it - the boos from the Domain Stadium crowd told me Swans just kicked a goal.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,716]

Cheers - a behind to the Swans to finish off the quarter.

Yep, Jack is pretty much finished as a player. Amazing. Was a gun. No longer.

Yeah he's dropped off big time. Not winning much ball, giving away poor are kicks and 50 metre penalties, missing basic kicks. He used to be a very good player but the end appears to be coming quickly for him. Most of Sydneys midfield has been down this year thus far. JPK keeps on trucking, Hannebury and Parker are still winning ball but not having as much impact. They'll welcome Heaney back once he's ready, he's an absolute gun in the making.

Yep, agree with that, but their midfield depth in terms of genuine guns is not what it once was. Or, perhaps, it's more that midfields have to run deeper these days. I'd argue ours runs a lot deeper than theirs.

Swans, in for a long year. They look Very young but yet look really old all at the same time. 

J Kennedy, farrkk what a gun! Did the Judd trade really work out for them?

How does the 10 metre rule work? No player can be within 10mts right? So if you mark and play in but a player is already within 10 they can now you down?

[Cards13 9,117]

McGovern, also a really good player. Just rarely gets beaten in the air or at ground level.

Chopping the arms is like East-17, was popular for awhile then died (not literally). 

[whatwhat say what 22,427]

Meth Coke just getting the job done.

Swans are there or thereabouts but unfortunately that's not enough these days.

[Adam The God 29,798]

For such a reliable defender, Grundy has been ordinary this year. And tonight has cost them probably 3 or 4 goals.

[The heart beats true 17,995]

The Eagles are an odd side. They've got 3-4 genuine footballers who turn up at every ground, and the rest of them seem to only be able to play at home in front of 30,000 family and friends.

 

[Adam The God 29,798]

Love Aliir Aliir as a player. Would fit in nicely to our back six. As would Jones, who has really become a good player nowadays. Maybe a little defensively left wanting at times, but a really exciting player. And unlike many speedy linebreakers, is tough at the contest and in the air.

Theyll win 10-11 in perth

3 or 4 out of perth

Home final 

Get smashed in a final out of wa

yawn

[DubDee 25,165]

Swans missing 5ish players. Blooding plenty of good youth. They are set for years to come. Helps getting two number 1 picks when finishing in the top 4. 

Think they'll have a down year, finish around 6th and dominate in the coming years 

[Willmoy1947 4,045]

Sydney get screwed two weeks running. No more no less. Umpire no 2 pathetic. Same old stagers from Eagles run up free kick gets and of course the crowd noise never influences outcomes. What a joke.Several thousand supporters stop supporting football every year. Someone tweeted that to me.

The last time sydney started this bad was in 1993.  They won one game for the year and I'll remember it to the day I die. 

A Sunday televised game against melbourne during the school holidays. 

 

Im not bitter at all ????

I remember that game. Probably more embaressing than losing to the Essendon VFL side last year.

Having lived in Bridport St for a time, guess i got a soft spot for South so forgive me if i mention their down time sometimes.They were saviours to a lot of the "have nots" in those days and their players and ex players were always in circulation around the traps, happily....
