Just hope sydney come out kick the next 3 or 4, win the game and buddy gets an injury that will keep him out for a week. But hopefully sydney can hang on.

Amazing inaccuracy by both teams on what is a still night.

The commentary is seriously annoying me. To state the obvious why do they have to tell me what I can see for myself.

Gentle understatement rising to the crescendo when deserved is the way to go. AFL is fun but it doesn't need or merit pubescent shouting at every stage.

 

Here's Richie Benaud's 8 Rules of commentary that the AFL boys club might want to have a look at some day, in between patting each other on the back...

1. Never ask for a statement. 
2. Remember the value of a pause. 
3. There are no teams in the world called 'we' or 'they'. 
4. Avoid cliches and banalities, such as 'he's hit that to the boundary', 'he won't want to get out now', 'of course', 'as you can see on the screen'. 
5. The Titanic was a tragedy, the Ethiopian drought a disaster, and neither bears any relation to a dropped catch. 
6. Put your brain into gear before opening your mouth. 
7. Concentrate fiercely at all times. 
8. Above all, don't take yourself too seriously, and have fun.

A cowpat would look good in a Melbourne jumper!

But on Merret, it's amazing that this day in age, with the investments by clubs in recruiting and junior development, that a player of that quality can slide so far in a draft.

Joe Daniher couldn't look good in a cowpat nor in anything else for that matter.

How could that score review call a behind?  Bewildering.

Business opportunity for anyone who is smart and tech savvy. Make a digital radio app whose signal you can delay to sync with your TV.

Youve just given radio stations massive increases in revenue.

Do it.

I've sync'd things like this before using a digital delay on the audio (sound effect used in music). Only use the wet out, no dry.   How far ahead is the ABC from the TV please?

[Ethan Tremblay 30,825]

I wonder who BT is going for.....

The internet stream is actually behind.....just saying. Good idea tho.

If I hear once more about how much the poor players (the ones who signed false ASADA declarations) have been through I will seriously throw my whisky bottle through the TV. 

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I feel ill.

[whatwhat say what 22,682]

Peptides with the last six in a row...hard to see Sydney kicking a goal at the moment

Don't you know returning heroes and all, I forget what battle they fought in

Sydney are going to be very deflated against us next week if Essendon wins. We want this result for sure.

[danielE288 777]

Not sure what to think. If Bumbers get up should take a bit of the heat out of next week I guess.

[Stinger 463]

Bombers getting an absolute ride

[Ethan Tremblay 30,825]

Pathetic free to Daniher.

[monoccular 17,413]

That Daniher free should surely have been the other way for a block.

You've just muted the entire channel 7 commentary box

7 in a row...

Yep exactly would rather Swans next week off a loss at home. Bombers are not a good team, not worried about them. They can win tonight.

[brendan 3,434]

Would rather face bombers come September 

[Chook 15,012]

How do you like that chumminess between the ump and Hurley there? I know this is Australia and we're all equal, but the umpires shouldn't be chatting away to players like that midgame.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,825]

Three years of hell for the returning heroes - Carey. 

This [censored] is sickening. What war did they fight in again?
