Coaches award and AFLPA award (voted on by peers) much more important imho

The umps vote. We have spent the last month whining about how bad they are. I have no faith

Both prelims wrecked by horrible umpiring. Afl needs to overhaul whole dept.

Once again, the behaviour occurred because the guy is a [censored], not because he had a drink.

Yeah but how good is Nik Nat #sarcasm

Again. His fault. Not the alcohol's.

I have revised my thinking re tonight. If wce win then because they finished higher than the hawks the hawks will have to wear THAT power rangers top in the grannie. This makes me far far too happy. I think i need a beer

Its not the alcohols fault the [censored] hit a woman. Get me drunk and the worst ill do is give you a cuddle

If the afl is wondering why fan interest is dropping off it might have something to do with the last 19 gf spots being filled by 8 clubs. 20 if wce win tomorrow. It might have something to do with [censored] umpiring at critical times It might have something to do with [censored] music ads and announcers

Sorry, you have to read my first post with sarcasm dripping off it

Its almost like coaching is the same as teaching just with different content. Amazing.

They were all legal mate. They dont know what they were, but they were legal and cure cancer.

WADA and China sign ground-breaking agreement to eliminate illegal manufacture and supply of PEDs That'll put a crimp on Hirdy's lifestyle ...

no. i said booing him for 20 mins might have been worthy. not booing him every touch for the best part of 2 years. the next game they were booing him because he "picked on" a 13yo girl - that was that years grand final. we booed scully for one game. then we got over it - and he lied to a cancer ridden Jim Stynes' face!

AT THE TIME. as in for that game at the most. not for 2 years every time he gets the ball.... we booed some long haired brisbane bloke for giving kent? a whack in the head. we booed him for 20 mins.

The other thing people dont like Goodes for is because (they say) he called australia day "invasion day". Again - media misrepresentation. What he actually said was along the lines of "There are some who call it "invasion day". We should get past that and come together and celebrate our great country" or words to that effect. but the goodes booers dont look deeper than "call it invasion day"

which is worthy of a free kick and some booing at the time. Hawks fans are the ones who laud the likes of Hodge as a great bloke when we all know he is really just a pathetic sniper and epic [censored]. He is not booed nearly to the same extent.

amazing career. one of my favourite AFL players. Very sad he was booed. The hawks supporters started it. flogs. every other team joined in after he was asked if he thought the booing was racist - he replied "i dont know, youd have to ask them." Of course the headlines the next day were "Goodes booing racist". Media flogs. And to the people who say "oh it was because he dived etc". Half of the AFL dives. Boomer has dived for 400 games +. He is not booed like Goodes was. If youre saying it was because he picked on a 13 year old girl? Her family and Society let her down - she should know that it is highly racist and the fact her guardians didnt go with her when she was escorted out is their disgrace, not his. That people are upset (and i hear this one all the time) because he "incited" the crowd with his war dance and pretending to throw a spear is a horrible reflection on our society as a whole. Also im yet to hear a person who was ACTUALLY THERE have this opinion. totally agree with whoever it was who said the booing of goodes was the lowest point in their afl following life. honestly it was pathetic. I feel a deep sorrow that his career will in large part not be remembered for the amazing player he is and the aboriginal ambassador that he also is, but for the controversy that followed him, caused by inaccurate media reporting and racist flogs looking for an excuse to be racist.

north resting their players in round 23 while they played their whole team - cost them last week and theyd have got over the swans tonight. absolutely disgustingly allowed by the afl when ladder positions were changeable. north wanted to lose that game. everyone next year who is locked into finals will rest most of their team in r23 next year...

tigers supporters will be spewing...

This weekend is the most boring weekend of finals every year. Solution? Semi finals friday night and saturday arvo Saturday night - some kind of state of origin involving players from 12 teams no longer in the finals. EDIT - i would propose a 4 team comp between Vic SA WA and allies. first year random draw, 2nd year has winners play off and losers play off.

Why cant we just have this??

PSD is the way to get this guy. If someone else wants to match his contract and take him before us, well, easy come easy go.

1st round pick AND Howe for Melksham is honestly the funniest thing ive ever heard.

Is he one of the 34?
