Round 14 Non MFC Games

[Lucifers Hero 40,375]

Starts tonight. 

After this round the ladder will be meaningful again.

Good to see Roughy is back for the Hawks - a bit of sentiment by Clarkson perhaps.  Allow him to play vs one of his best mates, Buddy one last time.

think I'll watch the cricket

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,981]

Geelong are woeful after the bye so Port might be good money at $2.80??

Reckon Brisbane might have another road setback, this time against St Kilda.

Sydney should keep Hawthorn to a very low score.

Hopefully Essendon get flogged tonight.

I absolutely detest Thursday night football (other than when the following day is a public holiday). I'm not ready for it and it also diminishes the enjoyment of football on the subsequent Saturday and Sunday because there is one fewer game to follow. Having it in the same weeks as some teams have a bye and there is football on a Monday (Queen's Birthday) just makes it worse as the football product just seems sporadic rather than intense.

But maybe that's just me...

Tonight: The Drug Cheats (2005-06) v The Drug Cheats (2012)

John Worsfold of course knows nothing about it, and as a Qualified Chemist I believe him....

Each to their own.

I like Thursday Night Footy. It Feels like the weekend has come early and it gives you something to look forward to during your Thursday work day.

Hopefully they can increase TNF from 8 this year to 11 next year.

Which results aid our storming home to pinch the final spot on the 8?

it's an absolute disgrace "The Architect" of brushing everything under the carpet between 2001 and 2007 Trevor Nesbitt is still CEO.

He was told exactly what was going on by Ken Judge

I see the Bombers have been dealt the old Dalgliesh/Margetts in Perth double. Good luck with that lads!

Just talking to a mate about Margetts. WC must punch the sky when they see their number one ticket holder is umpiring.

Perhaps the “AFL Integrity Unit” ??? should look into it?

Seriously, it doesn’t look good for the (minuscule residual) integrity of the game.

Good start by the Swans. Has Menzel ever kicked a goal from outside of the goal square? 

[Ethan Tremblay 31,078]

Some vintage Buddy on display tonight. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,195]

Whorethorn looking so average 

It’s been so long!!

[Matsuo Basho 1,053]

Really the goal umpire can’t see that was a goal? It was a metre past the goalpost. Why pay them to even be there!

To wave the flags

[FireInTheBennelly 4,099]

Righto, hands up, who really likes roaming knucklehead?

The half time promo for it was sickening. Basically telling viewers it's what they really want.

Personally I don't really care, some are good, some duds, but to ram it down our necks. Please. BT is a dead set clown though.

That could be automated too! Puttin' your thinking cap on there Dryza. I like it.

Absolute garbage. This game, the state of the game in general.

It really is. I switched over from last night's Wc v Ess game halfway the through second quarter to watch John Candy in the mid-80's comedy classic 'Uncle Buck'. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't switch back again.

Only last halfway through the second of tonight's game. The AFL product quality is diminishing. It was never this boring in the 80's,  90's and 00's. The thrills are being suffocated out of it.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Interesting stats for Buddy F. He has had five kicks for four goals. No handballs and no tackles. Three marks.
