  1. The afl clearly don’t care about context either. They care about end result. This is why he’s done. Brayshaw got stretchered off. That’s what the afl care about
  2. How does that get off if Toby Bedford gets a week. He hit him in the head, feet off the ground. That’s the end of it, surely
  3. We didn’t have a choice. If we had petty or melksham or both we win that. What can you do. Injuries play one of the biggest parts in winning flags as we learnt last year and are learning again now
  4. If Maynard gets off after Bedford got a week I quit football
  5. We still suck in the wet. At least we lost it rather than Collingwood winning it.
  6. God knows why I have to have a number of friends that are Collingwood supporters. Growing up in the north probably makes it worse. They’re everywhere. At least the ones I know are a couple of standard deviations above the average supporter. Still I’d rather not have to deal with any of it. I hope we never have to play them in a final again.
  7. Me and Iggy pop are built differently. I feel like you are asking to sound terrible by going down the live route. No one represents themselves as well as possible in these situations playing live and it’s through no fault of their own. You get a bit of wind and you are doomed. Which is only one of a million ways it can fall apart. I blame the afl. Like I do with most things. This two weeks has been horrible. I hate the bye and I hate Collingwood more. I feel like I’m pacing around unable to concentrate on anything. Losing this game would hurt more than most to state the bleeding obvious. I am living with a high level of underlying anxiety for the next month it seems. Sometimes I miss sucking as a football team. No expectations had its perks. Then I think how much it will suck when I no longer get to watch max, Clarry, trac, Gus, may etc and I quickly snap out of it.
  8. I struggle to pick up jokes sometimes. His voice was well and truly shot. But who wouldn’t play some provincial football games grand final that no one in the northern hemisphere will Ever see for a mil or two
  9. Yeah I know. I missed a couple but it is overwhelmingly the case. Playing live in these settings is fraught with danger in my opinion
  10. It has come to my attention that apparently plenty of Collingwood supporters hate Melbourne. I’ve had quite a few comments along the lines of “especially against Melbourne”. I never noticed this before. Perhaps it’s just cause we are playing them this week and that’s how they operate. Some serious arrogance amongst them.
  11. True. Paul Kelly played live too apparently. That’s why you don’t play live. You end up sounding like poor old meatloaf. The afl doesn’t spend anywhere near enough on production to give the music a chance.
  12. The grand finals are all mimed. The vocals are live with some extra in the mix to fill it up. I think powderfinger played one live many years ago but that’s about it.
  13. You’d take vinnie colaiuta seriously. Man’s a genius. Also, get stuffed.
  14. 3 umpires missing that isn’t a mistake, it’s incompetence. It’s possibly an issue with the way they are taught. It seems this year the theme is becoming don’t call anything. They all seem scared to make decisions.
  15. Except it feels hollow and like a movie set and there’s never any clouds which is concerning
  16. But we lost by less than a goal Playing poorly and should have won if they did a proper review. You seem very definitive for something that went so close.
  17. We have been pretty ordinary in the wet all year. Seems we play one way rain, hail or shine in hopes that it will shine in September when it matters.
  18. He was bound for greatness having two fathers of the absolute highest order. George and Tom. But does Harrison play drums or take lead vocals. That’s the part that is still undecided. He can clearly do both.
  19. Not all mid table sides are equal. Some are sliding some are growing. Adelaide aren’t far from being a top 4 team, whilst still being young and prone to dips in form as a result. They have a scary forward line and clearly fancy themselves for a dip against the better teams, where they have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
  20. Thanks for that. Makes sense. Still think that melk 50 doesn’t get paid more than it gets paid. Sometimes they are lenient sometimes they are not. When they choose to be one or the other is the interesting part.
  21. What was the initial free for in the pocket? I had no idea at the ground. He also didn’t give melksham much time to get on the mark. Considering we could have had a few 50s go our way they chose not to pay. Dubious umpiring with that one I thought. Get it out of our forward line and open the game back up for them.
  22. Also gives you a greater ability to shoot yourself in the foot if things don’t go exactly to plan.
  23. Good win. They are a good offensive side and got their freewheelin’ attack going a bit too often for my liking. Thought we lacked composure at times. Didn’t finish the game like a seasoned professional outfit. Mays kick in opened the door for them when we had almost closed it. They killed us in the air all day. That is my real concern. Great to see koz and chandler get going a bit. I’d like to see us put someone away soon. Just for my heart more than anything.
  24. Why did it have to rain. Makes it a closer call than it would have been if dry
  25. The afl need to stop. Just shut up with new announcements and changes for 5 years. You are custodians of an old game with many traditions. You are not running a vibrant start up or cutting edge business. The game is healthy. The afls priority should be getting its gambling money replaced and finding a way to look after concussion without ruining the game. Beyond that, please just stop. I want less rules, less American entertainment ideas. Just less generally.
