Was half expecting to see the team doing sprints in Yarra Park for 30 minutes when I left after the game.

LOL. Swans choke again. Hilarious.

Sydney derby and virtually no sound when GWS kick a goal.

Dogga will be relieved he doesn't need to tell Peter Bell about the family holiday his mum has booked for September.

Bears sleepwalking their way through this one.

Brisbane look a bit listless today. Not good.

A clip just popped up in my youtube feed of that boofhead Eddie McGuire on Footy Classified saying the 715 million they appear to have scraped together will end up being 1.5 billion if they want a roofed 35,000+ seater stadium. Then there's the new club's training facility that needs to be built plus an upgrade to the ground in Launceston if they play any games up there.

I'd be happy to send the Suns to the original Gold Coast in what's now called Ghana.

Hmmm. That would be Ben Mackay but he'd have to be 2 metres tall so would go to either JVR or Schache.

Hi DJ. As much as that concerns me my response related to the inclusion of No.19 up front. I guess their best defender goes to JVR then?

Deary me. I suppose they know what they're doing.

It'll be tough on the boys to back up last night with another game in five days but as a supporter I think it's great that we play again so soon. Can't believe that it's round 7 already though.

I like how the differing views about the Anzac / Anzac Eve games are given their space in this thread without being shouted down. Our night game against Richmond is a fantastic spectacle. More so than the afternoon game the following day. That said I've always felt that they are little more than well spun cash cows for the AFL (and maybe the RSL?) and not an appropriate way to reflect on what the day is about. The same goes for the week long ANZAC narrative on steroids throughout the football media landscape that competes to out gush each other. Sometimes less really is more.

An actual sell-out or a gather round "sell-out"?

Having just read the rest of this thread apparently it has to do with anyone moving that's within a 5 metre radius of the kicker but as Lever wasn't the person standing the mark the decision was mind boggling. You'll be lucky to see it getting paid again this year.

Those post game espresso martinis tasted extra good tonight. Never tire of beating that bunch of NQR's. We weren't great for much of the night but they were playing for their season and we've effectively ended it.

Understatement of the year.

Sounds like GWS are getting some traction in Canberra. I just heard six people start a Giants chant when they got within 35 points of Brisbane.

Looking like Adam Kingsley was handed the keys to a reliant robin.

Flagmantle flag (verb) to become tired, weaker or less effective

BELL-ISSIMO 👌🏻

Ask Dogga if he thinks the grass is greener BT.

Why would you bother to boo someone as insignificant as Rory Lobb?

By all accounts the round will be sold to the highest bidding state so if anyone else wants it they will have to cough up the $$$. I agree with other posters that it's only fair if the two local sides play each other but we know that won't happen. That aside I'm pretty ambivalent about the whole thing. I guess they'll look to expand the amount of provincial grounds they play at and perhaps look to do away with the double headers. And just seeing the locals implode when Victoria steals it off them in perpetuity three years from now will make it all worthwhile.
