Actually essendon in 2004.... to Win a final anyway

Geelong are good, very good, but their defend defend defend and then counter attack style will come undone in September.

It's not like he broke the guys jaw or anything

Yeah, it was not lose to those 2 teams. That's when we blew It, not yesterday

Probably 4 point losses to north and Freo will do it, not %

The conference's are a disgrace. The 4 best teams this year are clearly Adelaide, north, Freo and us. Brisbane beating the dogs Is the only time conference b has beaten anyone from conference a. That 2 of these 4 teams should miss out on finals, and that one of Geelong Carlton or Brisbane will get a home final is a disgrace.

Didn't even notice geelong beating the bombers tonight

Banggggg

I've noticed this too. I'd also like to note that the games they do play just get repeated over and over again. It's very poor

Dont worry, the kids at my club dont like AFLx either. If any of our players play and get injured I'll throw all the marbles out of the pram.

I think its the other way. I think this generation behaves BETTER as a result of knowing everything could be posted on the net for everyone to see. We just see more misbehaviour because we see all of it and not some of it

Happy for him to take it slow and be back 2nd half of the season proper. Get it right, dont rush. Finals win flags, not round 1.

I guess this is also the point- that the afl havent thought through scenarios like this that their rule changes may cause

Is it?

So, the afl have said that each team must start at the centre bounce with 6 players inside each 50m arc. To reduce "congestion" One would assume the penalty for a significant breach of this would be a free kick from the centre to the non offending team, given thats where the ball is at a centre bounce. However, i reckon the following scenario is an absolute lock to happen in 2019 and make a mockery of the rule. Team a kicks a goal with 45 seconds left in the last q to go, say, 2 points up. Team b now needs to kick a goal inside 45 seconds to win, but team a are no longer able to just push players back, as team b would get a free. But, what if team a said, ok, and just pushed all bar 4 players into the defensive 50? Team b gets the free kick but are then heavily outnumbered in their forward line (as they cannot push players forward and must start 6 back), and now face an impossible task, despite having the ball. Thoughts? am i nuts?

Well, they all travel 10 times Most vic clubs travel 6 or 7. Hell, we go gold coast and then perth inside 6 days next year, i bet wce dont do gold coast and then melb in 6 days

Funny how the interstate teams neglegt the fact that they get true home ground advantage for 10 games a year and the vic teams might only get it 4 or 5 times, when they play an interstate team at home, and effectively are playing at neutral venues most of the time. Ya kidding yourself if you don't think the likes of the eagles have benefited from this hugely, especially when it could be argued that it probably counts as a win or two in any given year and that without that extra win they wouldnt have finished 2nd and gotten 2x home finals. Swings and roundabouts, not saying its fair to have the GF in melb every year but they shouldnt overlook their natural advantages, which pretty much even themselves out over the course of a season. It is what it is

The 3 we have now are perfect. Just wish the shop would sell long sleeves

Who pays for his treatment?? Definitely shouldnt be brayshaw. Or freo. The taxpayer shouldn't pay for this either.

Sorry, not a facial surgeon

It seems we are in fierce agreement on the second point.

You literally said hed been all over the media for the wrong reasons.

Yes gaff deserves less weeks than bugg because the media like him more.

And what track record was that?? Mills was the first time he was suspended

This time next year brayshaws teeth and Jaw will be fine. Gaff will still be a piece of [censored].
