  1. And he's a special comments clown on channel 7 now. So. Still ducking his head into a bag of footy cliches
  2. Some photos just sum things up so well. This is Jack Viney. Wouldn't have been a sniper hit, just HARD. One of my all time favourite footy photos
  3. A strike is a strike. Can you strike someone in the head with an open hand and get away with it too. Seriously. The AFL is a circus. But it's also so noveu and stylish. Every year, we get to try and work out what new interpretations of rules. What's in FASHION THIS YEAR? This year I'm calling it "Pushin in the back is pretty sweet most of the time" at 10:41 in the last quarter, at a centre bounce, the ball went to the edge of the square where a lions player was held by one arm while trying to take posession of the ball, then pushed in the back on to the ball as two other pies players raced in and pushed the ball back under the lions player and three of them laid on top of him while locking the ball into him. Then put their arms up of course. Free kick collingwood - holding the ball. This is called "a pressure act" by the highly paid exspurts at channel 7 Full credit to collingwood, their attack on lions ball carriers was immense and won them the game and.... the free kick count. 22 to 16. The real winners tonight in this grand final rematch of course were CRYPTO.COM and OMO Ultra. Thanks AFL and the media circus. Anyone else find KAYO juddery as hell tonight?
  4. What I love about Jack, apart from his toughness is that he has never rested on his laurels. He's always looked to improve on his weaknesses His tackling, He used to get cited so much for his hits remember, now with his judo / grappling skills, he just drags them down and wraps them up. I'm sure he still hurts them. His disposal, his work on his disposal and forward work around the goals has transformed. He's that much cleaner with his disposals and attacking work now. As @Superunknown mentioned to me last night, he lost the captaincy but never sooked about it, just kept on leading on the field. He's not a Gawny type club man, he just goes out there and fights in the trenches every game. He's carried the team on his back so many times to keep us in games. We are very lucky to have him and it's a joy to watch him give 100 percent week in week out. Thank you Jack Viney
  5. I think their leaky defence is a good reason to play Petty forward and smash them
  6. She would have used a whipper snipper to get the edge I reckon
  7. He backs himself in and takes the game on.
  8. I couldn't get over their (pies fans) behaviour last year. They beat us in a close final and then they were angry and abusive after the game. Happiness does need to seem to be in their DNA. Either just angry or gloatingly abusive when things go their way. It must be blowing Nev Jettas mind.
  9. If Tommo doesn't get a crack now, you'd wonder why he'd stay. We'll see. I tend to think he won't get a run, but I like having Petty forward. We're just starting to find a groove up front now after two years of dysfunction
  10. I might be a bit harsh too. Just thought he jogged on a bit when most of the team just chased hard from start to finish.
  11. Just finished watching. Ruthless footy. So good to see such variation going forward now. Just love it. Petracca was just huge. That spoil and gut running to make it when the game was iced. True leadership and hunger. And he's havning fun! Windsor is going to be a star for us. Pickett is really finding his groove. invaluable Clarry, How good was that kick off the side of his boot to a team meate on the wing while being crunched by two players in the third? Sad to see May get crunched. Opprotnunity is there for Tommo to seize the day now. Surely they must bring him in. Fritta, he got the goals but I still think he's a bit lazy with his defensive efforts. JVR only got the one goal but I think he is going to be a massive forward for us. You can see his presence and cinfidence growing week to week now that our forward line is opening up. He's not a bad second ruck either. He just keeps competing. He is taking a while but I still think he will be a Schwarta for us. Commentators - The Wizard? Really? because he has a mullet or something? He kicked six behinds before getting a goal and still they pumped him up. Jeff Farmer, you must want to punch them. I do. Can we get more race callers. Seriously. Huddo and Dwayne. Free kicks, we lost the free kick count after slapping them most of the day. 9 goal win. Lost the free kick count 20 to 17. Not that they'd try and even it up or anything. Bring on Adelaide. Yeah baby
  12. Is McRae the right guy?
  13. Even Hudson was doing it by the end of the game. Surely someone on that stupidly expansive commentary team could have a quiet word to them to correct it. I thought he did a pretty good job of just calling the game as he saw it though. Unlike [censored] like Huddo and BT who have to start shouting like they've had their cruits grabbed just because someone flew for a mark or kicked a point. God I miss Dennis Cometti and Drew Morphett. Gimme more race callers and less shouting pillocks
  14. I'm not sure. There's only so much I can see through Kayo. Others may know. Thought he still had his usual solid game.
  15. Me too @leave it to deever I wondered if both Tmac and BBB would be fit and fast enough. Such a bonus to see them play so well. Seeing Clarry getting back to his best and being happy and acknowledged by our supporters. Fast and creative ball movement A more open forward line and lowered eyes / team first kicking Watching Kozzys effort and skill through the midfield Variation in kick outs Our captain adjusting his ruck work and dominating Windsor's lightening speed Our fitness and hard running Our fantastic demon army honouring Gus So many great things to recognise in that game
  16. And, both Hill and Hudson are back on the Fritz train. It drives me a bit mad. They don't say "cricket pitz" why do they keep saying Bailey Fritz?
  17. People seem to be really efficient at creating inefficiencies these days.
  18. Kozzies work around the packs is much more valuable than in front of goals at the moment. His chase and tackling is bloody beautiful to watch
  19. Really appreciate your observations @binman The Swan's handball chains and fast movement have been great. You could see how it led to a much more open forward line for them last night. I thought the pressure the Swan's brought sucked us in to too many short 1 metre handballs last week too. Didn't help on a small field perhaps. More and more it becomes a hard fast running game. Our squad in general has had a few niggles. Hope our general fitness comes up to speed. You wonder how BB and Tmac will go with this game style at the moment. We'll see. Looking forward to seeing us in more open space this weekend.
  20. They used the small ground well last week but are also spreading really effectively on the G too.
  21. I went to a music trivia night at a brewery instead of watching Carlton and I won a slab. I'd call that a win I guess. @binman just wondering on your thoughts of the Richmond gameplan and style with Yze in charge?
  22. Yep, the "crowd activation" all came from some very funny buggers having a few cans on the hill. Much more relaxing and enjoyable @Demonstone
