AFL Round 4 - Non MFC Games (2017)

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,304]

Is that what it's come to? The sole source of football enjoyment being watching other (hated) teams losing?

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Bad kicking for goal seems to be contageous

At times, yes, absolutely!

[Deemented Are Go! 3,692]

Not watching but the score worm tells me another quality hit out by these two heavyweights of the competition? 

[SaberFang 7,151]

3.7.25 to 3.7.25!

Well, both teams' supporters can sulk about missed opportunities together!

I'm at Etihad - it's a terrible game.

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

Why is it that AFL Players cannot kick goals at The Etihad Shed?
The St. Kilda Man Buns should be 5 goals up

[Adam The God 30,539]

Acres reminds me very much of Harmes. A hard runner who can get on the end of a couple, but doesn't have the greatest skills.

We want St Kilda to win today, don't we? They've got Geelong next week, who you'd hope would account for them.

I wonder if it's a work rate thing. We're not the only ones who can't find the sticks consistently at the moment.

With the increased kilometres in the legs, are players struggling to convert for this reason?

treloar's kicking is as bad as tyson's.

At this early stage in the season you'd have to say yes

And both are goal kicking, ball accumulating mids. Both have some questions over their defensive game too. I wonder if that's a GWS learnt thing?

add adams in too.

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

The Man Buns should be 10 goals up

Mav Weller is positively Cro-magnon. Should be carbon dated after the game.

[Gorgoroth 13,124]

Richmond are smashing the Lions.

I was confident of beating them until yesterday, them being 5-0 will make me puke.

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

For teams who have Docklands as their home ground one would think that they should have good accuracy on goal from say 40 metres out anywhere between the 45 metre arcs but it does not seem so.

No wind or other variables... just the walk up and the players personal aiming spot to counteract normal skew etc.

Perhaps it is the lack of training on the ground or whatever but its an area ripe for the sports scientists.

[Adam The God 30,539]

If we don't spank Collingwood, I'll be livid. They are really ordinary and their forwardline is very, very impotent.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

St Kilda and Collingwood are pus.

[Gorgoroth 13,124]

Now I'll just hope some tigers players do stupid acts and get suspended.

Let them get big heads. The bandwagons gotta come off the rails soon enough...

Im cringing already about what Dustin Martin will do to us next week.

[Adam The God 30,539]

Having watched all of Richmond's games (watched the West Coast replay), I reckon they are one of the worst 4-0 teams of all time. They make stupid errors and lack the midfield depth. They haven't played a decent team yet. Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast (at the 'G, who should have put them away) and now Brisbane - they haven't beaten anyone of note. And those first two wins were really scratchy. 

If we bring forward half pressure and minimise our turnovers as we did in the first two weeks, we should murder them.

Potential hip flexor or quad injury for Dusty...
