AFL Round 5 - Non MFC Games 2017

[SaberFang 7,151]

How bad a senior coach do you need to be to continually lose close games when you're in front in the dying minutes? Just flood the [censored] forward line you dolt!

I can't believe we lost to Freo. And we let them score as much as they did. We really need to tighten up and zone off better behind the ball.

Two different ways to approach evaluating a game. I'm a big fan of the 'not picking out a whipping boy' approach.

Both North and Sydney are 5-0. Life ain't too bad at the moment.

Hopefully Hawthorn joins them tomorrow

Kangaroos shocking in close games - learn nothing!  Brad Scott must be looking down the barrel, he surely can't lose this many close games without coming under scrutiny.

4-15 in games under a goal

We're one of the four.

How the [censored] did we lose to these Fremantle idiots last week? They're rubbish

That is harsh.  THE TEAM got ahead of themselves at half time.

North Melbourne 0-5

Delicious!

How many wins since their 10-0 start last year? ?

[John Crow Batty 8,886]

Freo turned two games they should have lost. We turned two games we should have won.

Well they finished on 12 wins so if you take jlt series out of it they have won just 2 games since round 10 last year that's not a great stat 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,039]

Wow, Sydney (last year's grandfinalists) 0 and 5.  As big a fall from grace this year as Freo were last.

Quick allert AFL HQ, crank up the Swans cola and extend their academy zone into Central Victoria, they won't make the 8 and are clearly on the brink of catestropic collapse.

"Sir Bob". AFL website has an ad for a tribute to "Sir Bob" today.

 

WTF?????????????????????

 

Is he the only bloke who's ever missed out on a flag?

Is he the only bloke to play 300 games?

 

What am I missing?

The [censored] fest over Bob has been seriously cringeworthy.

Get ya own premiership pedal Bob.

Was at the Freo vs North game last night, when the game was on the line Mundy Johnson Neale Fyfe and Sandi all stood up. 5 leaders makes a difference in getting mediocre sides over the line and setting standards for the younger players coming through.

Same story, same names stepping up as in last week when we played them. Our leaders were invisible, making mistakes or both.

I'm not writing Sydney off until their bye.

Their next five games are against Carlton, Brisbane, North, St Kilda and Hawthorn. If they're 5-5 at the bye, they're not done with.

The talent is still there so they're a threat from anywhere in the 8

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,039]

Gunning for the Eagles today.

Would love to see the Hawks start to challenge and break all our records from the past ten years.

[Ted Lasso 19,568]

The Saints are a really interesting team, i find it hard to read them, players like Billings and Dunstan don't look to me like they can get much better than they are now

[whatwhat say what 23,654]

Jack Steven reminds me so much of a slighter quicker Nathan Jones.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Now that it has been pointed out how close Mav Weller's eyes are to each other I cannot unsee it.

Not big on the Saints but hoping they beat Geelong.

Saints a direct rival to us in the race for the 8, we need them to lose just like we needed Freo to lose last night.

Trying to figure out who we want to win this game. I reckon Geelongs a certainty for the 8 so probably them as we'll be fighting St Kilda for spot.

Yes they might give it a real shake over the next few years....186 would be nice.

[Ted Lasso 19,568]

Umpires obviously forget about watching for ducking when it comes to the cats 

[The heart beats true 18,189]

Cats doing just enough to be in the game at 3/4 time and pray for Selwood and Dangerfield to get them over the line in the last.

Every f#*king week.
