Ever noticed how the commentators always call Easton Wood by both his names, never just "Wood"?

It's as if there's a player out there called "Easternwood".

I always used to wonder what Garyablettjunior's first name was

 

 

Mr Eddiebetts is another in that exclusive club

Good to see a nice wet weather slog. The winner will be knackered.

Isn’t that just up the road from Colinwood?

My brain is finding it so difficult to comprehend Oliver’s last two games. He is the best player in the comp and the best player I’ve ever seen in an MFC jumper…admittedly I’ve only been supporting our great club since 87 so didn’t see much of Flower

Different beasts.

Meaningless anecdote, my Phys-Ed teacher in Auckland in late 70’s was Easton’s dad, Phil. He was the Australian triple jump champ at the time (followed his love to NZ). He was never called Mr. Wood, just Philwood. True thing.

Oh right. I used to call him "the little (something else)". Thank you for the correction!

I haven’t seen this many mullets in the one place, since The Blue Light Disco’s back in ‘79

Weightman gets about 2 or 3 goals from frees a match. Has had 3 from frees today. 

cody weightman - three four frees, three four goals

Edited August 29, 20213 yr by whatwhat say what

4th goal from a free kick. 

All the free kicks have been there, the last one a bit iffy. He is playing in front or first to the ball in the wet. Of course he will get free kicks. Dumb defence of a small forward by the Bombers.

He’s had 5 free kicks, 4 goals from them, and I reckon he vaguely deserved one of them.

Oh, goodness. Those poor Essendon supporters will be furious!

The Dogs 5 goals from 7 are free kicks. 4 of those to Weightman.

 

You have to be kidding. Pathetic umpiring.

The difference in this game is free kicks. The commentary team is finally coming hard at the umpires about it.

It’s been ridiculous.

And he’s even more unlikeable after Eddie was explaining that he is a family friend…Eddie being the ever self indulgent [censored]

Essendon should bring up the umpiring post game regardless of consequence. The bulldogs are being handed this. Frees in front of goal. Frees going one way and not the other. I hate both teams and don’t have a dog in this fight but I am very over the umpiring handing the dogs opportunity week after week.

partly on Essendon for their inability to convert too.

That Weightman free kick for in the back on the boundary is just about the softest free I have ever seen. To pay that on the boundary in the wet in a final after the ball was disposed (i.e., the push didn't even affect the kick) is disgraceful.

Can’t rule it out though. A few cases in Perth …….

Yes though in fairness he didn’t even stage for that last gift

Port are going to destroy either of these two teams or Brisbane.

Brisbane are not a bad side. Came up against a juggernaut last night.
