  1. I actually did wonder if somethingā€™s gone through the club. They just look soā€¦lifeless.
  2. We look like the Gold Coast Suns circa 2011.
  3. Questions will be asked.
  4. Um

    Incorrect. While a space between each dot is acceptable, it is not required.
  5. Billings is worth persevering with. Heā€™s coming off two years plagued with injury-setbacks, and is finding his feet at a new club. He was never going to play his best footy in the first few weeks. (Oh and, my phone seems pretty determined to spell his name as ā€œBillingā€™sā€, so I can understand the errors)
  6. No worries! And thank you for making me realise I posted this in the wrong thread!

    Yep, you really donā€™t want to read the comments on AFL reddit. Thankfully nothing racist (AFL Reddit does a good job of policing this), but I had no idea how much of a ā€œsniperā€ he is perceived to be by opposition supporters.

    Frustratingly, this is just your usual unnecessary and undisciplined stuff from Koz. Heā€™ll get a week.
  10. Copped a big hit in the ribs, from memory.
  11. Jack wearing Gusā€™ helmet. šŸ‘Œ
  12. This ainā€™t cool. Plenty of stuff we can joke about, but this isnā€™t it.
  13. Yeah, no way was it an intentional sling. Rivers applied the tackle right on the umpireā€™s whistle and Rozee went limp at the sound of it, rather than putting up any counter-resistance. Suffice to say, he got rag-dolled because he chose to become one.
  14. Crows for me. ā€œKick A Vicā€ Never forget. Eagles supporters are a very close second. Canā€™t stand watching games over at The Boo Factory (unless of course itā€™s a Grand Final with no Eagles present).
  15. Marty Hore doesnā€™t have a nickname? I have a few ideas I could pitch, but I think the best one isā€¦ Martin.

    Look, I loathe ā€˜emā€¦ ā€¦but weā€™ve only won one more game than them this year.
  17. Indeed, hoping this wild new approach might catch on.
  18. Yeah, he had a real ā€œRolling Thunderā€ era Dylan-look going on.
  19. Great that Kayo have jacked up their prices and done f$&k all to improve their service.
  20. Love you Max, but that was absolutely disgusting football.
  21. Iā€™m talking specifically about how this affects a playerā€™s mentality. Itā€™s evident that Tomlinson wanted out, and would likely have been satisfied with any club who was willing to give him more game-time. But instead heā€™s been treated to the same frustration within the first two games of the year. If I were him I wouldnā€™t give a toss about our club.
  22. Not letting a player whoā€™s keen to leave the club do so because theyā€™re ā€œrequiredā€, then dropping them for the second game of the season despite a solid performance in the first, is the epitome of poor player-management. Goodwin, though rich in ā€œlearningsā€, seems to have learned nothing from the selection debacle of last yearā€™s finals campaign.
  23. We canā€™t rule out the possibility that Melksham is constantly on Demonland, and was playing 4D chess with you.
  24. Letā€™s not make assumptions (that can quickly become hastily -formed theories) based on things we donā€™t really know about. If heā€™s despondent for any reason, it might just be because heā€™s frustrated with his body and wants to get on the ground.
  25. Yep, brought this up earlier. Goodwin needs to go back into the box. But heā€™s very much a creature of habit. Would be genuinely surprised if he did it.
