Not including hyphenated surnames, the only past or current player with more syllables in his surname that I can think of is Robert DiPierDomenico.

That-dirty-rotten-little-stager-Weightman has ELEVEN.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,876]

North showing a bit of that old-fashioned ****boner spirit. 

[Chook 15,013]

Bulldogs have no ticker, so if the Roos can keep the heat on and prevent the Dogs from having it all on their terms, they could well have a shot - probably too far back though after that joke of a 1st quarter.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

For Chrissakes. Have these umps forgotten which team is which?

[Mr Steve 3,820]

They are going ok now, yet Mr Free Kick is still their leading disposal winner.

[Nascent 9,217]

Kangas with 4 in a row. Doggies players looking confused and frustrated with the free kick count going against them. Unusual territory for them.

Edit - 5 in a row

It's like the umpires feel they have to pay a free in every marking contest.

[DeeZee 7,425]

Go Kangas!

[MrFreeze 1,971]

Doggies have no soul, front runners all day 

Kangas showing real grit 

[Maldonboy38 6,403]

North showing up one of the Dogs weaknesses - defensive running. As soon as the Roos get gut run running forward from contested ball, 2-3- Dogs players plod on behind with little real effort. The dogs talent is way over and above the Roos, but the effort of the young Roos boys is great to watch. It is going to take some time but I love what Noble is doing - taking the hard hits and losses but basing a team on defensive contested play. 

[Mr Steve 3,820]

AFL have offered the Royal Children Hospital $100 for every Free paid today. Umps doing their bit.

I reckon no matter how far the dogs get in front, no team will think they're out of it as long as they can arrest momentum and make the dogs run the other way.

"honourable loss' coming up

[Return to Glory 8,443]

Horne - Francis looks very good. I know people will slag them off, but North is tracking in the right direction imo

Better than a 128 point drubbing

Actually .... I withdraw prediction about "honourable loss". Looks like carnage.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,398]

North Melbourne's sub looks 12 years old. He's still taller than Caleb Daniel though. 

[The heart beats true 18,128]

This Good Friday ‘blockbuster’ is taking the theme of penance too literally. I don’t know what we all did wrong, but it was obviously really, really bad.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,250]

Unwatchable.

I think I might watch an old Carry On movie ... Either that or watch paint dry.

[Damo 3,362]

Id rather watch Hawkins remove his mouthguard after being awarded a free kick in front of goal.

Well nearly

[DubDee 25,912]

You guys are watching this rubbish?? 

i spent the arvo weeding and I reckon it would have been more enjoyable 

[FireInTheBennelly 4,072]

This was 12 seconds into the game, right in front of Roos goal.

Play on.

They've conjured up a game that's less interesting than the Good Friday appeal.

But …. it is “traditional” …. after what, 4 years 🤦‍♂️

It's a strange recipe of pity mixed with ambivalence, with a sprinkle of "why don't they just give up and fold"?

Maybe they will head off to Tassie and save us all the absurdity and inequity  of a bye every week. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Geez Stephenson is a nothing player. you hope the  Roos picked him up for a bargain.  Can’t see him lasting beyond the next contract.

It's on such days that it is best to relive the glory of the GF replay ... from the 13 minute mark of the third quarter of course preferably with Dennis Commetti's commentary
