  1. And it wasn’t even a f$&@ing error!! Did nobody here see the footage of Buddy taking a dive after receiving the lightest of elbows to his back? Even the commentators said there was nothing in it. I feel like I’m going insane reading so many comments about how May “made a mistake”. He played a blinder, and as far as I’m concerned made ZERO mistakes.
  2. Not sure I understand why so many here are angry with May for the first quarter incident. Buddy staged for the free, and was rewarded for it.
  3. Sydney were very, very good tonight. They just played one of those games. We’ve played one of those games before. Just not tonight. Onward and upward.
  4. I can’t help but feel our venom towards Joe Daniher really spurned him on. I’m glad that it’s the Lions through and not the Tigers. The Tigers supporters are many and insufferable, and the sudden quiet in the room is very agreeable.
  5. “Country Roads” is Charlie Cameron’s. Doesn’t exactly get the adrenaline up.
  6. I think Joe Daniher could be one of the worst players I’ve ever watched. I went to a lot of my brothers’ games at Parkdale footy club when I was a kid, too.
  7. If Prestia’s hamstring is as bad as it seems, that’s a huge loss for the Tigers. Think I want to see the Lions get this, then fall in a heap next week.
  8. If there was no chance, would he even be out there?
  9. Well then his family should do the honourable thing and move to Melbourne.
  10. Finished third in ‘21 but get eighth-hardest fixture in ‘22. And fixture-difficulty is only measured by quality of opponents, and doesn’t factor having nine games at the (weird, skinny) ground that they’re allowed to train on all week. Four games that were essentially free wins - WCE/Nth Melb twice each. Deserving? Hmmmm
  11. Cox is an ugly player. Ugly to watch, and ugly of the mind.
  12. Who are we talking about here?
  13. When it comes to footy, or just life in general?
  14. Yeah “stiff” was the wrong choice of word. “Unlucky” more apt. I do think he’s playing pretty sore at the moment, and the timing is tough.
  15. JJ pretty stiff. The only out
  16. This talk about blooding JVR for this week’s match (and any game this year) is just insanity to me. We need cool, calm heads, and don’t need the distraction of a kid figuring it all out for the first time. Cannot wait to see what he delivers next year, but if anybody “new” has to come into the forward line this season I would much prefer Joel Smith.
  17. Ginnivan not ruled out. Will have a bit of mongrel in him if he plays this week.
  18. They also will have played West Coast twice this year. Their minor premiership is a hollow victory.
  19. No, I believe Demonstone indicated that the spiders will be spared from his amorous inclinations.
  20. Yeah I should note, this was the reason being touted by the commentators, but they were not exactly sounding confident.
  21. The best defence offered for that decision was that you’re not allowed to re-enter the play from out of the position you took the mark from.
  22. Just watching the game again (the perks of self employment), and watching Melksham and Hunt’s games, it’s like we’ve been gifted two new gun players. Both seem determined to make up for lost opportunities last year, and that mindset combined with red-hot form couldn’t come at a better time. Melk should’ve had five if we overlook the rubbish BBB out-of-bounds call in the 3rd. Huge games from both of them. Now if we can just find Bailey’s on-switch, I feel like we’ve got some much-needed potency up forward.
  23. Threads should not be started lightly, and this the perfect example of why. There is no substance, no avenue for further discussion and no point to this thread. It’s just you having an anxious and pessimistic moment and telling us about it.
  24. I’m gonna buck the trend and say that we won that match in the best possible way. Winning clutch-style like that is huge for the team’s confidence, and it’s massively important the boys know how to prevail in that kind of scenario. Finals will be full of tight games.
  25. So you’re saying that the only reason we won was because certain players in our team played football well?
