What do you mean ‘remember he doesn’t owe you anything”. I never said he did

most people who think he's a tool think hes un Australian and should act a certain way.

We all love people like Barty because we like her and its the boring story. i hope Nick wins and sticks it up a few people.

I don’t think he’s Un Australian. I don’t even know what it means to be ‘Un Australian’. Does that mean he doesn’t have an egg on his burger, and he says Shrimp when he means Prawns?

Regardless I can’t stand Nick. He’s a petulant child whose now been charged with assault. It’s not about what country he comes from, it’s the fact that as a culture we are sick of people who treat women like objects. I hope I never see his terrible haircut and stinky attitude ever again.

Does it mean he throws a shrimp on the barbie?

I actually like Nick but gee he makes it hard to barrack for him. Always just felt sorry for him as he's clearly playing the wrong sport and is a Basketballer in a Tennis players body. Just happens to be super talented and this country is hardly laden with Tennis talent so there you go. 

This latest stuff with the charges does not sound good, we can't have this kind of crap happening.

Act in a certain way as in abuse umpires, spit at fans, disrespect opponents, show a total lack of sportsmanship and generally act like an obnoxious dh.

Lions might lose to Ess tomorrow as they are decimated by injuries and covid protocols.

I prefer they win and make top 4 as I think they won't get their act together in time to succeed in finals this year and will keep some of the other threatening teams out of the top 4 eg Sydney and potentially Carlton, Collingwood and Tigers.  Let those 4 finish 5th to 8th and 2 get eliminated in first week of finals.  Dangerous threats reduced.

Freo are winning but also losing their mojo.  Hope they keep winning to help keep above teams out of top 4 and imv are also not ready to succeed in finals.

The exception to wanting them to win is when they play us in the last month.

Gee come on Bombers. Also praying for the Miracle at Shinboner land

Great to see 17th vs 7th playing at a ground with capacity for 100,000 people - unlike Thursday nights 1st vs 2nd played at a stadium with a current capacity of 21,000. 

Remind me again AFL what the point of being successful is?

I have no problem with Collingwood v North being at the MCG. The MCG is Collingwood's home ground.

I also have no problem with Geelong v Melbourne being at GMHBA. GMHBA is Geelong's home ground.

Where I have a problem is Geelong v Richmond being at the MCG. Or Collingwood v Bulldogs being at Marvel. Both those match ups have happened this year and they are examples of sides playing "home" games at their opponent's home ground. It shouldn't happen.

The Marvel tenants (including Essendon and Carlton) should play their home games at Marvel to satisfy the minimum games requirement, and Geelong should put its money where its mouth is and play all 11 home games at GMHBA, with the big Melbourne clubs being sent down there so that North and we don't have to go there every year.

[BDA 20,035]

Had zero expectations for the North v Pies but its been a great start.

Go north

[The heart beats true 16,109]

I thought North were really honest against us. Collingwood have won so many tight games this year. They are due.

Cameron gets paid a lot of dropped marks 

[Lucifers Hero 37,003]

Hugh shout out to Paddy McCartin.  After all he has been through to be playing a big role for Sydney and now getting the praise he deserves.

Fantastic to see Paddy able to start fulfilling his significant potential.

In a way he lived in Petracca's shadow.  Kudos to Sydney for taking the risk and giving Paddy another chance and to make a name for himself in his own right.

After a lot of thought I think North should try to win this.

I think it's Un Australian to call someone Un Australian

Ginnivan should get pinged more

Would love to see North get up, not only because it messes with Coll finals hopes but also to get themselves a real boost.

 

Edit:  it looks like Coll got the rub of the green with the umps in the first qtr...

They're genuinely in this game for the moment LH! Wonder if the world famous standing ovation came out at QT!
