As I said. Something is NQR. I can’t put my finger on it. Is everyone in this side just in it for the cash? They seem so devoid of passion. Greene that dweeb is the only player with genuine passion but he’s a tool who can’t keep himself away from suspension. 

I know exactly what you mean. It's like the majority of the players wish they had  been drafted to another club but have accepted their fate. Like its genuinely just a job to most of them.

They really should have won 2 premierships with the talented list they have.

 

The 1000 goal game was a myth this week as we all know but they couldn't stop promoting it.

With 4 goals still to go I doubt Buddy will crack it next week either against Geelong (Friday night prime time of course).

Perhaps against the Bulldogs at Docklands the following week

I dunno. On paper they are so talented but I don’t rate their coach. They’ve had a gun team for so long but something is just NQR. 

Why isn’t Cameron under more scrutiny?  Probably something to do with the “free press” and AFL media licensing. 

 

Soulless GW$, after more than decade, nobody even living in Greater Western Sydney gives a toss about them. 
This is why there is so much Gambling Advertising shoved down our throats.

I am not taking too much from the game. A rivalry has built up so they will often put in their best efforts. Commentary was sending me nuts so I had to turn over and watch Lanning bat for half the time. 

Brissy I think are the ones to watch as are port so  will keep a close interest to that game.


Robbie Gray hurt already. super player but looks like his body can't withstand the rigors anymore

PowerPepper spins 720 degrees, with prior opportunity - play on.  
WTH?

I liked that decision. Disposed of it cleanly despite spinning like a top, so it wasn't an effective tackle. 
It makes the umpires job easier.

 

This game is terrible so far. Skills atrocious

Early days but neither Brisbane (my early tip for GF opponent) or Port look anywhere near top 4 material based on the first quarter of this game.

They don't have to be "effectively" tackled. For a legal tackle they only have to be held, body or jumper.

For how long? That's the key to the interpretation. For simplicity, I am happy for a tackle to be considered ineffective if it doesn't prevent the player from legally disposing the ball.

Seen it happen at least 3 times this round and not paid

 

That said, saw a 360 paid last night with game on the line! Love the consistency…

prior: must dispose immediately

no prior: within a "reasonable" time

Not a shot at you, but the concept of "interpretation" of the rules is bogus and should be removed from the game.

I can't stand Joe Daniher - constantly with his hands outstretched pleading for the free. Why not just win the ball mate?

By various interpretations of "immediately", Trac was holding the ball when Bont tackled him in the last passage of play in the 3rd quarter of the GF. He disposed of the ball, but was it "immediately"?

Immediately is inherently subject to interpretation, because it ranges from planck time through to human reaction time through to a second through to…whatever.

Well he was held then kneed in the head - definitely play on

This is one bizarre game.

It's hard going from the GWS v Sydney game to this.


2 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

well - not really

even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid

and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

Perhaps, although as already mentioned, GWS may have been happy to snap up Dogga. I'm sure glad we did.

Are there any Giant’s fans at their Home game?

 Sorry I’ll change the question. Are there any Giant’s fans?

Ive got it lets amalgamate GWS and GCS...

We could call them

Gaumless Woeful Shizenhausens

 

I think i'll wait until after Buddy kicks his 1,000th goal before I watch Sydney play again. It'll be a great feat for sure but i'm already over the commentators incessantly talking about it.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
