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

[monoccular 16,298]

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.

[BDA 20,440]

This game is terrible so far. Skills atrocious

[Chook 14,605]

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.

[Chook 14,605]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 34,720]

That was one of the worst first quarters i have seen in a long time

[Lord Nev 13,511]

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.

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

Ive got it lets amalgamate GWS and GCS...

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. 

[BDA 20,440]

new season , same old Daniher
