POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Geelong
In retrospect, we can talk all day about the game plan or personnel but the fact remains we had Geelong on the ropes for the best part of 2 quarters and as a result of poor execution and decision making inside 50 throughout that period failed to put them away, or at least keep them at arms reach on the scoreboard going into the final quarter. Kudos to the Cats for taking the initiative where we couldn't and cut through our press in the last with a combination of precise field kicking and the will to just move the ball forward at speed that left us hopelessly exposed at the back. As a defender I'd be pulling my hair out. As bad as we are around goal at the moment last night was also about a failure to stop them exiting our forward line with the ball. If we had at least done that it would have made for an arm wrestle until the end. The game was effectively over though as soon as they slammed on the first four goals of that final quarter.

Bye Bye Bombers: Logo Change Considered
I'm pretty sure that they changed the words to their club song at some point in the 1980's or 90's as I remember one of the lines being... see the Bombers fly whilst you eat your pie

Bye Bye Bombers: Logo Change Considered
Plenty of sides don't have an image of their nickname or caricature on their badge / logo. Demons, Dockers, Saints and Giants. Gold Coast's doesn't have a sun, lest anyone go blind staring at it and there's no such thing as a Power or a Blue.

PREGAME: Rd 15 vs Geelong
Hi Bystander. Sure I take your point. That said, knowing that the ground was to be redeveloped, if I were the AFL I would have suggested that it was an opportune moment to increase the width and make it an oval in the true sense of the word, even if it is just 115m wide. From an architectural perspective it would also have given them the chance to complete the main grandstand and roof all the way round.

2024 Gather Round
I stayed in a little place in North Adelaide for the Crows game last year FTB and that part of town was great. There's actually an Ibis Budget at the intersection of the Ring Road and Sydney Road in Campbellfield where the walls could only be made of papier-maché.

I thought it was against the Geneva Convention to place someone in an Ibis hotel?

Don't know what's so "hugely popular" about 80% of the regular match going AFL public around the country not being able to go and watch their team play live.

Gerard Healy had to take over at one point when Huddo's headset slipped off.

Anthony Hudson sounds like he's trying to knock one out whilst he's commentating.

This commentary fawning over Carlton is vomit inducing.

Carlton fans carrying on like they've just won the Champions League after baying for blood just a week ago.

GC making Carlton look like the Harlem Globetrotters. Might have to turn this off.

I hope Richmond continue this form into next week. Then lose every game 'til the end of the season.

Collingwood and Essendon seem to have the highest % of scumbag fans whilst Richmond's just tend to be missing a chromosome.
