The replay showing that ball clearly out of bounds makes that goal even funnier.

Noah Yze looked great at training when i attended.

You can blame the afl and their matrix for Sicily not getting a ban.

Agree but then again I'm a start in April guy and 17 rounds.

I've certainly not witnessed a great fan demand for more games.

Still waiting for the AFL to explain how the season will work when we have 19 teams. Sure you have a rolling bye for 18 weeks but then you need multiple byes in the last 3/4 weeks to even up game numbers. The ladder will become impossible.

I'm not adverse to a pre-season under 23 comp or similar using some VFL players to make up numbers

this is how it is in mid gippy. everyone gets a bye and then 4 of the last 5 rounds have 3 teams with a bye at the same time. then some poor team gets the bye in the last round before finals. a few years ago newborough had that bye and finished top - which gave them a week off in finals so they played, had a week off, another week off, big final which they won that put them in the GF, a week off and then the GF. so they played 2 games in just under 6 weeks...... and predictably got rolled in the GF by a team that had played the last 4 weeks without a break. 

19 teams means theyd have to get rid of the pre-finals bye and move it to before the GF, surely

wsa a fair bit of it on reddit. because it looked empty on the tv. as usual. because we are all over the camera side. as usual. mind you, half of all people have below average intelligence....

What a player he is.

sydney are a top 4 side IMHO (or close to) and we wont be the only ones who get beaten up there.

collingwood lost

 

Just repeating this as its more good news this week too

defense held up very well except when the ball came in on the deck and slippery.

He was just trying to smother. Mumford got in his way.

No worries derm, we'll open the *checks notes*.... march trade period and send the dogs pick 83 for JUH, that should sort it out

I would rather it was a legitimate shirtfront that took him out. 

No because we're better than that.

There's no karma in footy. The only way it'd be equal karma is if m*****d was one on one in the backline and we were 3 points down with 10 seconds left and he did his knee and we kicked the winning goal by running past him helpless on the ground. In the grand final. Then I'd believe karma exists in footy again.

Great to hear the crowd booing Maynard - you [censored] 

The afl reddit match thread is full of neutrals slagging maynard off. Easily most hated in the comp, not just by us

I'm putting ben brown in cotton wool until august. I think he only has 7 or 8 games in his knee a season, and when fit is easily our best tall forward.

Despite Ollie's lack of preparation he was a solid contributor.  Who else would you have played?

Should we really put the sprinklers on at Gosh and Casey for training?  Serious question.

Honestly I think we should do it every so often. It's an outside sport, you gotta win when the ball is a cake of soap and apart from a select few we couldn't handle the sweaty wet ball tonight. 

Terrible handling of the wet footy. Cost us 4 or 5 goals. Was an issue last year too.

We are not good with a wet football.

What a surprise, Tim Watson doesn't like us. We don't like you either Tim, so it's mutual.

i mean this is a guy who defended his footy club when they couldnt tell him what theyd injected into his son, instead of doing what id have done - sue the pants off them...(unless they knew exactly what they were given of course and were just lying about it)

a bloke i played footy with was accidentally knocked out cold in the last game of the season a few years back. i caught up with him a few weeks later. "you been to the doctor?" "na"
if it wasnt the last game of the season he'd have been wanting to play the next week, i guarantee it. the club wouldn't have let him but not all clubs are like that.

...sydney will play significant finals.

I like where you are comming from, but there are better means - it doesn't need to come to fisty cuffs and brain damage (I think it's too late for that in Maynard's case anyways).

Maynard has bung shoulders, so I just want to let Jack Viney go at him unrestrained for 30 seconds and let him rip his arms off like the that Black Knight in Monty Python and end his career that way.

 

I mean there's not much to admire about roy Keane but I say get him in for KB and tell him maynard is related to the older haaland. I'm not serious of course because we are better people and I expect us to channel our anger into the scoreboard. 

hopefully having a 13 day break and a 12 day break as opposed to 2x 10 day breaks will help. 

i will never be convinced ma****D executed his duty of care to gus. ever.

And also another player that qualifies the father son/daughter rule.  Though this period of stability and building games into players, I feel we are also somewhat setting up some good future recruiting opportunities.  With something like 4 out of 40 players at the club currently father sons, that makes 10% of our current list.

when are we going to start a breeding program and shack the boys up with the womens team to create a generation of superfootballers, born with footballs in hand?
im joking btw

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

honestly my 4yo kid could be a better journalist than half of the afl journos. and he can barely write.
