  1. Fritsch goes back, he looked well at home back there on the weekend. Baker to take the Fritsch role, unless Vanders is fully fit, although that's highly unlikely.
  2. Very much so. You could tell how chuffed the Raz was. I reckon he's following Gus around everywhere now, Cable Guy style.

    Sloane's no good anyway, he's never won a B&F or been All Australian.
  4. You missed Hunter's hands in the back mark and goal against JKH?
  5. I thought that was the right call. Brayshaw was going to kick and then pulled out of it but it was too late. Razor won't be washing his hand for a month.
  6. Twice we were awarded free kicks around defensive 50, with the dogs player holding the ball far too long, allowing all their players to get back. Both should've been 50 metre penalties, yet neither was paid. I thought the whole point of the 50 metre penalty was to prevent players from slowing play down. If channel 7 wants more goals they should be into the AFL to get these things right, not fixing the draw.
  7. Today's game confirmed for me what I thought has been happening for a while. On 2 separate occasions a player was lining up for a shot on goal and a voice came over the umpires earpiece saying '15 seconds', the umpire would then tell the kicker that 15 seconds had gone. Umpires are taking directions from a 3rd party. Who is that, and why?
  8. Didn't he have 1 very good game in his first year? I vaguely recall it. I think he has the AFL talent, for whatever reason hasn't been able to reproduce it since. More mature this time round, I think he'll step up, like Stretch did.
  9. There's really only 2 possible answers for the Blues. Merge with the Hawks, or merge with Norf and [censored] off to the Mapa Isle
  10. Looks like it's all too much for Crippsy. Never mind mate, you deserve some success and nobody would think worse of you if you defected to the mighty Dees.
  11. Channel 7 should sack Brendan Bolton, the Blues are awful.
  12. Dusty dreams of being as good as Clarry
  13. There was one particular chase on the weekend where he got up a full head of steam, and boy he looked quick. I realise he's not a super quick player, but he seriously looked like he was going 2 to their 1. I needed a second take to see who it was.
  14. That is quite incredible considering we were awarded a total of 24 free kicks for the game. If you put that together with the i50 stat, where we had 69 to their 39, it's safe to assume a large portion of the game was played inside our forward 50, yet every single free kick was paid in other parts of the ground. Wow. May I ask Mr Leg, do you have data on free kick locations, or is that just from watching the game? I'm hoping the data is available for all games.....
  15. I wrote this in another thread, perhaps the wrong one, but now they've proved themselves to be able to adjudicate fairly, that takes incompetence out of the equation. So what would the other potential reasons be for their poor and biased decisions?

    We need to accumulate players of Gaff's quality
  17. Which shows they are able to umpire fairly and to the rules. So now we've taken incompetence out of the equation, what are the other potential reasons for the disgraceful calls against us in previous games?
  18. How the [censored] was that not high?
  19. Yep. Jordan Lewis is very important for this football team.
  20. I have to admit, that's a long way from the moisture report I was expecting.
  21. Kudos to a few blokes on here who were adamant he was the goods prior to the draft. They wanted him and talked him up so much I think most of DL was convinced, to the point where a Fritsch rumour file was created. I can't remember names but Drunkn was definitely a big instigator. He'll be a star of the game with a couple of preseasons under the belt.
  22. 'The Chas' and 'The Raz'?
  23. Whilst enabling a high scoring and close game. Super effort that man.
  24. Perhaps you two can start the post match discussion for us.
