  1. Dogs have had 2 runs of 4 straight games at Metricon, and they had 3 in a row at Marvel to start the season. How nice would that have been?
  2. I aaw that too, on the St Kilda nuffy's page on Facebook.
  3. Just read the AFL are letting the Bulldogs fly to Cairns the day before they play Freo in Round 18. What a joke. We were not allowed to, and the article says the club were furious at being forced to travel on game day. Dogs also fly to Adelaide the day before this weekend too. Anyone think the whole thing is not rigged?
  4. The players are human, and constantly moving would have a significant effect. I never sleep properly the first night anywhere away from home, and unlike other clubs, the team have pretty much not stayed in the same location for more than a week at a time. Players in other sports such as NBA or cricket are used to it, but AFL players are not. Experienced ones like Dangerfield will deal with it better, and also clubs with a lot of experienced players (Geelong, Port, Richmond).
  5. Does not apply to other teams, only us. ?
  6. Exactly. We have played at 9 different grounds this year, and no more than 2 at any of those grounds. What a joke. Crows, Port and West Coast have only played at 3 grounds the whole season.
  7. Eagles, Seahawks, Chargers
  8. The passage of play leading up to Fritta's goal was fantastic. 4 or 5 efforts to win the ball.
  9. Got so angry last night the TV was off before three quarter time. Our dog hides in the corner as soon as he hears footy commentary, but it got so much for him he hid in the bedroom. Poor fella. Think I might giving watching footy a spell until next season. Couple of questions about the game: - did we ever switch play, or even try to? I don't think i saw it once - did we just leave the middle of the ground empty except for centre bounces? Freo seemed to go through there many times without a single one of our players anywhere near I do not know what to think of the club at the moment. My membership will continue next year, but I will not be paying the Grand Final Guarantee as what is the point? Pre-season training should include sessions with the footy covered in Vaseline so the players are able to handle a greasy ball as it was a fumble fest last night. Freo seemed to either have Grippo on their hands, or they just know how to be clean in all conditions.
  10. We played an extra back due to the wind. Makes sense. Would expect normal numbers this quarter.
  11. We will win tonight. If for nothing more than it keeps 5 teams playing for 3 spots in the 8 instead of 4. Gil wants the 8 decided on the last day.
  12. Nothing yet, but you can guarantee they will back the ARC and umpires in. Almost certain, as they are talking about what Round 18 matches to put in premium timeslots. We win tonight and there is 5 teams playing for 3 spots - interest is maintained through to the end. Gil wants every game in Round 18 to have finals implications.
  13. It's funny how the non MFC games thread still ends up as a festival of potting MFC. No mention of the goal review last night either. If you all love the Dogs so much, [censored] off and support them.
  14. Essendon got to the ground an hour before the game. 3.5 hour trip from the Goldy. Started like we did.
  15. 7 and the AFL want Richmond through to the Grand Final. They will get a free kick and 50m penalty for the ordeal. Tom Browne just putting HQs spin out there.
  16. Agree with this. Others won't, but only as it does not suit their argument.
  17. Well given we flew to and from Alice with the Saints, that was never going to happen.
  18. The whole season is a fix - the Grand Final will be 2 of Brisbane, Port and Richmond and the Final 8 will not be decided until the last day. The fixture and when teams travel is being used to manipulate results and flowing from that, the ladder. WWE has more integrity.
  19. And Richmond, Brisbane and Port have barely travelled. There is the Grand Final teams.
  20. Supporters of just about every team ask this question. I think our team has an application and concentration issue.
