Well in Smithy! Make em earn it

Gold mate. brutal, but gold

This waiting around would be agony for the Cats. I should record this and watch again

Buddy handled that with class. Had a hundred drunk blokes hands in his face. I think he has struggled with anxiety in the past? I don’t know how he coped with that without losing it

Delighted for Lance. Seems like a lovely guy

But but but then they can’t post it themselves and get all those likes. That’s what life is about after all

He would be if he put a consistent season together. Has all the skills. Will this be the year? He has been a tease to date imo

How awesome us it to have the best player in the past 15 years in Lance Franklin not be an egotistical [censored]. He seems so down to earth despite his stardom. He has every reason to be arrogant but seems pretty cool from the outside. Never won a Brownlow? The umps don’t know the game

Hard to hate the swans. A tough midfield, buddy up front. P Mc at the back. A great coach. No ego, no nonsense i do get annoyed at them being gifted top picks in the draft when being too 4 but that’s my only gripe

Can we check Dangerfield’s buzzer please?

Please. Kicked 51 last year and missed a few games. He is still a gun

Poor old West Coast, me heart bleeds Maybe they should have waited until Darling was double vaxxed before letting him train? lol

Replace Rowell with a smaller/skinnier player, he would likely be concussed/injured then the outcome would be 3 weeks plus for Rioli so the outcome of the tribunal is based on the size of the bloke hit Also - just because Rowell wasn't concussed on the night, this type of hit can build up over time and contribute to long term brain issues. the AFL must be keen for some lawsuits unless then overrule this farce

The tribunal reasoning for Rioli getting off seems to be: "but you know, that Riewoldt mark? that's a reason right?"

His hip flushed him in the head. He did not have eyes for the ball. He crunched a bloke with eyes for the ball and then his team got a goal 15 seconds later. message for players - leave the ground, smash blokes and you’ll be right

Rioli free to play cleaning up players going for the ball seems to be fine play on

I wonder how Bevo talks to the club doctor!?

every time this thread gets bumped I get a semi, only to be left feeling deflated somewhat

Crazy that the Tigers have finished on top only 15 times in 22 years but have 3 of the last 5 flags! to me it shows they had more fortune than the average team. their dynasty will not be looked at on the same level as Lions, Hawks, Cats (and hopefully ours) and I would NOT have tipped the bombers to be 5th on the list having not won a final for 16 years! from absolute dominance to shizenhausen

Sydney is the one-night stand. Melbourne is the relationship

Hopefully you don't have to spend long in Shydney mate. A barren waste land for real footy (and mostly) decent pubs Sydney is so bad the Demons refuse to play there now

For the most part I say smugly silent. one flag after 57 years after almost merging and being an embarrassment for so long, I am not ready to gloat much. if we win another one, especially doing it easily, I reckon my lips might loosen up. but you never want to be 'that mate' who is insufferable when they win. we all have that hawks/tigers mate

Good luck with this thread mate, could be a long one! agree with your assessments in round 1. Rioli was graded as medium impact!?! Maybe the MRO should cop this hit and see how they recover? And careless? He clearly made no attempt to mark. In the MROs eyes Robinson and Rioli showed the same intent. What a joke lets hope Robinson gets off at the tribunal

Apparently he had Hunter as 3rd best of ground so I think you might be right! 😂

and who does Tomlinson get in this scenario? out of interest or would you drop him for Weed?
