Buddy - one of the greatest 21st century players - is cooked. Being annihilated one-on-one most weeks, and being well beaten by an average footballer today.

The Pies are woeful. Even Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Quaynor are missing easy targets. Confidence is totally gone.

De Goey is a 2-quarter star. Comes in, does some amazing stuff, then switches off. Almost every week. Needs a fresh start and a coach who can get him to fulfill his potential. 

 

Always good to see the filth beaten !

 

For the love of everything sacred, come on North, finish the Poo and Wees off!


North deserve this win.

There goes the percentage ?

 

Hard to say this, but onya North. 

Apart from Coll and Ess, couldn’t have picked a better team for North’s first win. 


According to David King, 1-8 isn’t a premiership. I thought it was, I feel so silly. 

Home from work at 3pm. Watch some of the Pies game to see them lose to the Swans = enjoyment. See North overcome the Poos and Wees = even more enjoyment. Feeling all warm and fuzzy, feeling good.

Turn over to the Q clash - what the hell are Brisbane wearing? That guernsey is illegal and immoral for anything from ballet to hand-to-hand combat. It hurts the eyes!

Collingwood fan forums would be a fun place right now.   A creditable four goal first term, followed up by the utter mediocrity of one (ONE!!) goal for the rest of the game.

Great time for North to get a morale boost. They have Essendon next week.

Were they 'celebrating too much'? ?

Good to see Ratten call out the lack of frees for the dropping and throwing the ball by Geelong.

It used to be mainly the Bulldogs but now more teams are taking advantage of the lax enforcement of the rules.  Not enforcing the rules may speed up the game which is what the AFL wants but if all clubs start dropping and throwing the ball and go unpenalised then it will be a free for all.

I noticed that too. There seems to be a lax interpretation for Geelong infringing. In one chain of play starting deep in Saints forward line going to the wing  I saw an unpunished clear throw and two blatant dropping the ball events all committed by Geelong players. And I only watched 5 minutes of the game.

Dwayne Russell on SEN yesterday had a long interview with Hayden Kennedy, outgoing umpiring director. It had me climbing the walls with frustration and disgust. The complacency of this guy towards the game he is supposed to be a custodian of really should have him run out of town. If he wasn't already retiring, he should do so now out of shame.

I won't bore you with the detail but his attitude towards policing throwing would make you gag. God forbid that one legal handball might be penalised! Oh no, let's let 100 throws go through, instead. Apparently it's better that way. And he had the sheer effrontery to say that enforcement of holding the ball is going well, and also he thinks the fans have a good understanding of what constitutes prior. God help us all.

With friends like Kennedy, the AFL competition does not need enemies.

But, bottom line, the AFL management do not give a [censored] about any of this.

See my comments in Current Umpiring. Heard the same and just had to laugh. Of course AFL accredited Dwayne never asked ONE hard hitting question. Suck suck to the AFL. The best part were the phone calls after Kennedy left. Really good questions and Dwwwayne just kept to the AFL line. Something really serious needs to be done with the umpiring department. Getting rid of SHocking would be a good start.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
