Why do you say that?

We were keen on him at draft obviously and have stayed in touch. Let’s wait and see what happens over the next few years at the Suns…

Sam Weideman is having a really good game tonight. Best I’ve seen him play I think. 
Good to see him doing well. 
 

(have just realised how handy he might be now, damn)

He’s had a few good games this year. It’s good to see him stepping up as a focal point. He’s been better than our tall forward this year for the most part!

just showed the footage of the north interchange infringement. they had one planned last change. then Shiel hobbled off with cramp and some player ran on

surely a sensible organisation would just say you have to pull the bloke back off. not wait a minute it’ll the ball is with 50 and hand the game to Sydney. 

really embarrassing rule

After his first 2 goals he kicked 3 points. Led/marked well though.

A couple of those points weren’t from the easiest of set-shots. But yeah, he wasn’t clunking his marks this well with us.

The problem seems to be when the penalty is called. It can be really badly manipulated, as we saw today.

Today a free to North was then overturned to pay the interchange penalty. Is that in the rules, I would think not.

Waiting until the ball is forward of centre guarantees a goal.

serious question 

does anyone else get annoyed that the camera zooms in on play and we lose the wide angle view?

they do it more and more. take that great Cameron goal. zoomed in on him so you lose all perspective. 

i think this might be my personal pet peeve but it would make me feel better if anyone even got what i’m taking about. god knows my wife couldn’t give a [censored]

has there ever been a number 1 draft pick that has copped less criticism or interest than McGrath? 

decent player but nothing special. Jack Watts must be scratching his head

DubDee - I am with you 100% on this.  Last night there was so much zoom in that viewers had no idea about what was up the field and where anyone was aiming much of the time.  Appalling.

Who’s the commentator that’s been sucking on the helium? 

Is Terry Wallace back on air?

I thought it was Wallace at 1st.
I think it's Burgoyne.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
