GW$ Cheer Squad have “Rent a Crowd” T Shirts 

Pathetic

They used to give away free giants tix at my sons little league and I live in nth Wollongong. Still at least the 50 fans they have is 50 more than gcs.

God how awful. Life is so cruel.

Can someone do me a favor and explain why the fixture has saints and Pies in Adelaide?  We are lampooned for not having enough supporters to ascertain prime venues and times but they schedule this event.

I really thought that Gold Coast were nothing short of pathetic last night. Not sure how much more we have to put up with these uncompetitive performances but if they say they want to play finals then these are the games you have to win. You can't just gee yourself up for a big one last week and then relax. It's been going on long enough and it's almost curtains in 2023 already for them.

Their standard made-to-measure season is unfolding in accordance with the GCS blueprint. Some slashing wins interspersed with terrible and/or pathetic losses. Unable to put together streaks of wins and end up capitulating in the back half of the season and giving up entirely.

Only difference is this year it looks like they will capitulate sooner.

Port were also robbed of a goal here 

So the Swannettes have not a leg to stand on 

I dunno how the umps can determine anything definitively from the My First Digital Camera™ they have strapped to the goal posts. But that's what saved Port's bacon, as it turns out they could not determine anything definitely, so it went back to umpire's call, which was "touched".

It's funny because the Swans lost, and it's funnier because Hinkley's tenure gets extended by a few more weeks. If they pull out another of these wins at just the right moment, "Kochie" will extend his contract.

SO MUCH TO UNPACK!

The funniest thing about Buddy going right into Bergman's back and falling over is that he cleared room for Alir Alir to come through for the punch. 

For some reason the fans arm pumping up and down that blocks the camera view cos he thinks they are going to win also cracks me up 🤣

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. With every viewing you notice something new to relish. 🥳

Basically the AFL hate us. That explains nearly everything that goes on in the world of AFL.

Sam Weideman got subbed off after a nasty hard hit to the head early in the second quarter today against GWS.
 

Hope he's OK. Will miss our match up next week in Adelaide as well.

If anything, Port were robbed of a goal that was bizarrely called touched ... Had that been called correctly, the outcome of the final kick would not have mattered.

 

Edit: Should have read the entire thread first, of course .. sorry SWYL et al.

So what happens if the umpire wants to pay the free? Does the kick not count? Or in an after-the-siren shot is it a free-for-all on the goal line?

Let's say Aliir had not punched, the ball went through and the umps decided to award a free for in the back. No score, free kick awarded, game over. The player can take the kick if they want.

I wonder how many umps would have had the nerve to pay the free.

Of course he's right - that is if the ball was kicked from the crowd it's over the line. "Blind Freddie" can see it never made the line. Yet again Channel 7 create muddy waters with bad shots of the goal square. And can someone keep that person seated in front of the camera. They did the same when Buddie kicked his goal last year.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
