I hope we win a flag before the competition becomes even more of a farce. I used to love watching games between two good sides even when melbourne wasnt playing. I really dont bother much any more.

I worry that by the time we win a flag it will be in a competition that makes us cringe. I used to love watching big games even when we weren't playing. Just to watch a tough "put the whistle away" armwrestle between two even teams. They don't happen much anymore. Yep. country / lower league footy matches now have more atmosphere and toughness about them. I wish bad umpiring was held to account like bad players form. They never get dropped

umps are just scary. 2x frees to essendon in their forward line to even it up

bone broth and hash cakes it is. he'll come back 15kgs heavier with dreads.

Has Crossy got him on the bone broth?

Its getting us ready for Gils game. Music and fireworks after every goal a rectangular field no tackling free kick against for last touched time outs 15 minute quarters etc etc. its only about two years away

The thing that has been carried over from mens to womens so well is the art of ducking into tackles. The rolling of shoulders to pull the contact high. Dropping to your knees when you know your going to get caught. I watched a bulldogs player fall on her arse and get paid a high contact free. Making an effort to dispose of the ball properly goes out the window if you can just drop to you knees. Worst result for the player is a ball up. It's a blight on our game. We get to watch the master next Sunday. Yep the umpiring was bad and we also blew it again.

it was more than one. there were a number that swayed 10 to 15m with the breeze. if players have to compensate for the breeze. why couldnt the umps?

thanks to those providing updates.

monstered them. can we do 4 quarters?

31 to1. O'Dea with 3 goals

is the game being broadcast? tv or streamed etc?

yessss german club. get yourself some kuckle and the best range of real imported beers I've ever guzzled

you can get a bacon and egg roll and a can of mid strength for two live hens I believe

round one will do fine

A team full of footy players with this bloke's attitude is what we need. a great quote. I love watching him beat blokes that he shouldn't.

Norf?

me too. sad to see him go but sadder when we lost to Collingwood. Gotta have faith in the footy department And what they're creating.

we could learn how to tackle!

whole leadership team shoulda been there

50 years I've supported this club. Apart from that Grand Final spanking. That was the most disappointing thing I've seen from this club. Just f#$/^ng soft. There is something in the culture of our club that stops us from being ruthless in smashing teams when should and standing up on big occaisions. Start by trading those that are soft

did he play?

Mark Neeld gets to experience finals before us. faaaark

Frees at the centre bounce seem to happen just as the umps start playing "lets even it up". holding decisions against us or cracking into Maxy like they did last week.

He was down for a while in the forward line. Got up and contested in the backline then sprinted forward to kick a goal. He's coming good and it was a real guts effort
