Gee the dogs were lucky to land Darcy under father son. He's going to be great for them.

I'm more peeved they got Jamara and we missed out on Mac Andrew.

I reckon if the state government built us our own Stadium at Casey, and then we only allowed 300 opposition supporters in we’d give that record a fair shake.

Maybe if you moved Casey to Red Hill

Agreed!

blatant free. Meek blocking English from contesting the ball. You can’t just clear the space around the ball drop and not even contest it yourself

how do they not know the basic rules?

100% plus the main reason it was paid was cause he turned his head looking for English. Block and take eyes off ball = free kic

[censored] if I know.

 

"Sweepers" was never traditionally a position in cricket.  It came in with 50 over games but moreso in 20/20 to describe deep fielders who swept the leg of off side boundary.

They now run more ( and faster) than deep mid wicket or deep cover in the traditional form!

Outstanding football

The great German footballer Franz Beckenbauer, nickname ‘Der Kaiser’ (translated as the emperor) is recognised as the creator of the sweeper role (also known as the 'libero').

The sweeper is a defensive player who sits behind the defensive line, sweeping up and dealing with any balls played through the defensive line. Beckenbauer was a great distributor and was also very adept at setting attacks in motion.

How come we never thought to don the wizard hats when we had the whizz? I guess back then it wasn't done

I'm feeling dogs are going to pull away.

(Battle between Frost-ball and Harmes; Harms with the Big Game credentials)

(Also, calling @binman, I am not convinced the Hawk's #loading took finals into contention.)

All the Hawks fans are up and about again after a long interval.

It's sickening to see.

I hope the doggies smash em

I'm with you, hate the Hawks. Arrogant supporters.

[Sir Windsor 219]

Doggies defence is woeful. Midfield non existent.

So a half - back flanker? Use that instead!
