First time for being in Australia for the Olympics for a while.

I had forgotten how cringeworthingly Aussie centric the FTA commentary can be.

Really hope that guy gets binned.

Isaac Smith would have made a big difference for us this year. Oh well

Smith turning us down was a bit of a disaster for us IMO. He’s exactly what we need. 25 touches and a goal a week on the non Langdon wing.

How simple is it to be able to have an option to watch the game on TV/devices with the sounds of the game (crowd when available, and players), but no commentary?

I’d pay $30 a month for that option. I love the atmosphere, and don’t need anything else.

I was thinking this the other day, exactly what we needed.

 

Geelong are a good discipline team. Them and Sydney are the benchmark in this aspect. 

Well I'm calling it it will be a Geelong/ Dogs GF judging on last night and todays games?

Man it’s so hard watching Geelong. They starve the opposition and then counter. They are so constistent and disciplined. 

clear flag fav imo. This will be 10 wins from the last 11 with Duncan and Cameron to come back in

Yeah I think that's enough for me. Turning it off 

They dont miss these mongrels.

But Richmonds pressure is shocking a shadow of there former selves.

This is a massively different Geelong side to the one we took care of in round 4 (and dare I say it’s also a different MFC side of late)

Jeepers Geelong putting on a clinic.

There is honestly no weaknesses in their side. Unfortunately I think think they want he flag this year.

I feel sick watching too Lay.

Up to the Giants to salvage the weekend somewhat, Netflix until then.

You don’t want to play Essendon week 1 finals?

Assuming we fall out of the Top 4, Essendon would be the side I’d most want to play against. More so than GWS.

Tigers certainly seem Dusted.

Nope, not at all interested in playing anyone that finishes 8th a month out from the finish. Certainly won’t be cheering them on the assumption we drop out from the top 4 just to play them. Finish 5th because you think they’re an easy kill, no thanks.

We can be better than all of these teams, for longer, we just need to get our forward line sorted out and perhaps another outside runner (Bowey?)

So Essendon will probably get 8th spot because the teams around them keep falling down. Hopefully the giants can produce a miracle and beat them

Essendon are very rapidly gaining us list wise....

just patiently waiting for essendon to win to put a nice little bow on this ****ty weekend. 

The 15 metre kick rule is so unfairly applied across the league. Some teams can kick it 7 metres, and some can’t kick it 25.

It needs to be addressed in the off season. 

Hopefully the Giants can hang on, I love watching Whitfield play.

There seem to be times when the umpires just seem to think “that shouldn’t be a mark” and call “no 15” just on a whim. 

Just saw on the news Franklin elbowing an opponent with a wild backward swing - “may get a week if unlucky”.  
Imagine if one of ours did that - “4-6 weeks”!

Corruption reigns??
