  1. I think the more pertinent question is why was Myers allowed to take that kick? On the coverage I was watching the siren clearly blew a second before he marked the ball. It wasn't even borderline, the siren clearly went before the mark. Can anyone confirm if that was indeed the case, or my feed is total crapola? Edit: I've just watched the final 2 minute clip on the AFL website and it has been 'doctored' right at the point where Myers marks the ball. The original vision was smooth, that vision has a cut in it right at the crucial point. Coverup!
  2. Tanking
  3. For sure. He still looks like he has massive improvement left in him as well. Needs confidence that the position is his I reckon. He's not dumb, I'm sure he can see the OMac situation as well as we can.
  4. You're probably right, it was just a wind up.
  5. How many players over the last 10 years can say they beat Roughie so badly he was dropped?
  6. We only just got them back on last week, with paperclips.

    Geez, good win for the Giants, the superstar Patton must've kicked a few?
  8. This sucks. What a joke, now we've got nothing to whinge about!
  9. He seemed to lace out uncontested Hawks players more often than not today. It might almost be worth telling him to aim at opposition players and he might actually hit one of ours.
  10. Hawthorn are our [censored]
  11. Hawks appear to be experts at the old 1 arm handball
  12. Why are Hawthorn allowed to shepherd the man on the mark, but no other team is allowed?
  13. Is that what happens when a forward leads at the ball carrier? Wow.
  14. Old man forgot the new rule, perhaps he's forgotten which team he plays for as well.
  15. Who would've thought, you don't improve footy skills in a [censored] swimming pool!!
  16. They're expecting 35,000. What a [censored] up.
  17. Has he nominated for a draft previously and therefore eligible for the mid year draft? Sounded like he had a great game last week so might get snapped up if he's in it.
  18. Righto, if it's wet, for the love of God, please kick the freakin thing off the deck!!!!!
  19. You win
  20. Being a lifelong asthmatic I can fully understand the idea behind it. Swimming was the only thing that developed my lung capacity to a point where I was able to ease off on medications. Having said that, surely there are other, safer, ways of doing it??? Also, if this was a preseason training drill, why are we still doing it? It's game time, let's get some skills training happening and retain fitness levels, rather than pushing to improve. No wonder players look tired on game day and can't dispose properly.
  21. Agree with this. I figured they were going for a 'safety in numbers' approach. Whereby if we didn't take the mark, and couldn't crumb it, there'd be defensive pressure on hand immediately. Unfortunately it makes it harder to score at the same time through the congestion.
  22. Me too. Could we call them Mac and Deca?
  23. Congrats to yourself and Dec of course. I had a feeling something was up when you'd gone very quiet, and I saw a few others mention similar. I really feel like Dec is one of those few players that will improve at the highest level, so based on his already good form, if that happens he'll be there to stay and quickly become a fan favourite. Good luck to you both. Feel good story of the week.
  24. Uninspiring
  25. It's not a good sign when you're biting your fingers, just for the team list.
