There was a time around this time a year ago that we got very complacent about our lot in life and we started losing to teams languishing at or near the bottom of the ladder. History surely can’t repeat?

The all-conquering Melbourne Storm were stomped on by the Penrith Panthers last night after some monster wins. Beware Melbourne!

Just had a look on Big Footy and Wet Toast supporters are concerned that the rest of the AFL look at their team as tanking. The thought had crossed my mind as some of their selections are surprising.

$1.01 to win travelling to Perth against West Coast 😳 

I’m in Fiji currently and am considering a weekly sub to WatchAFL to watch it but all the reviews I’ve read bemoan the quality of the stream. Can anyone confirm whether it’s worth it?

I use WatchAFL to watch every game in the UK and it’s fine for me. Might be more of an internet quality issue than an app issue

In all fairness, that game was 1 vs 2, not 1 vs 18 and the Storm had injury problems.

 

 

Greetings from near Lismore where it’s still raining. It’s been wet since November. God it’s miserable. Hopefully a light from the west today. 

Hopefully all our Perth brethren can get along to see the boys run around on the hallowed turf of Optus

Eagles a shambles, we're chugging along nicely

As much as i'd like to see an Eagles bloodbath, it's not our style

Dees by 40 points

Assuming you have a decent internet connection, yes, it’s absolutely worth it.  I’ve been a subscribers for several years.

… as well as running through the banner!

*cough* I personally cut out all of the Ts and Es and the K and the exclamation mark, including the dot, which is not really a dot, more the size of a dinner plate. *cough*
Long cough right there. I needa quit smoking. 😁

PS. I’ll be driving from Tropea to Matera during game time 😕 
I’ll watch the match on watchafl.com when I arrive. Go Demons!

Started work early so I could make the matinee down at John Foord Oval with Corowa taking on Yarrawonga. Despite Corowas improvement (only falling 2 points shirt of Albury, and should have won on expected score) I think Yarra will be to tough an ask.

 

Leg of lamb on the rotisserie and a fat cuban I'll be round in the forward pocket scoreboard end if anyone's hungry.

About to get on my flight now to Perth hopefully it’s not a sad trip home.

A fat Cuban? Is his name Fidel?

We’re playing a WAFL side with a couple of super rules players….Melbourne by 150+

When I was in Fiji in 2017 we were playing Carlton and it was close. The stream was reliable for the whole match except for the last 2 minutes when the game was in the balance and it was a goal the difference. The steam was buffering and the hotel internet went to [censored]. I couldn’t even get the score online for about 5 minutes after the match. 

Apparently we kicked a goal and won by 8 points. 

I’d put the blame on Fiji’s internet infrastructure in 2017 rather than WatchAFL.

Apart from that it was great. 

All I want is the four points.

And an extra 20 percentage points.

I had a similar experience in round 13 2014. I was also in Fiji.

Essendon vs Demons. Game was superclose. My connection came back for 30seconds as I watched the ball move from half back, up to Salem who marked 20meters out. 

Connection goes down again and I know it's going to take 3 minutes to buffer again but I didn't care. I knew Salem was a good kick and would kick it.

Stream is good

This is the most weird Gameday thread I’ve ever read …….... I hope it’s not a portent of events at Optus Stadium this evening!

I can’t see the Eagles challenging our beloved Dees, that is, unless some greater power intervenes with thunder and lightening, or some such ………… but even then, knowing the Dees as we do, I’m sure we would ‘find a way’!

Another regulation ‘Melbourne’ win coming up, with a margin between 40 and 60 points, I reckon.
