I'm overseas and finally managed to find somewhere to watch when score was 11.5.71 to 6.4.40 From that point on we scored 1.11 to 8.2 I believe I jinxed us

About time there was something else to be outraged about. Far too much positivity over the last two days.

Same Still kicking myself for staying at home for the 2008 game vs Fremantle. Haven't missed a match since. Edit... OMac & JWag in for Viney & Weid

Make up your minds...

I meant Tmac

At the ground so missed any commentary, but was TMac injured during the game or did he go in bad? Every time I paid any attention to what he was doing he was walking/running with a limp.

Ah, yep. Actually not too displeased with the team this week... on paper.

Frost the only tall defender vs Reiwoldt/Lynch?

And "Fritts"

Luke Darcy was saying the same thing this morning. Getting a downgrade to one week was a "good result" because we "all want to see the stars of the game playing"... Deadset joke.

Oh please. Would it not be extremely poor list management if we didn't have a half decent backup for Max? If we went with a small forward or outside runner instead of Preuss, who are our genuine ruck options if Max goes down? Preuss will be fine once he gets fit, and he's got the best ruck in the comp to show him how.

These threads are depressing and I have no desire to read all 9 pages. 2nd quarter aside we were total crap, but I can only hope someone has raised the absolutely disgraceful umpiring, again. How many 50/50 calls did they get (that we didn't!) that directly resulted in goals? Livid

+1 Preuss is not match fit. Yes it was @#$%ing hot in Shepparton but he was cooked 3/4 of the way through the FIRST quarter, FFS. AND he dropped everything that came his way. Defintely not the answer to our current problems.

When are umpires going to learn to be seen and not heard? They are there to officiate the game, not be a part of it, FFS! Sick of watching a game or attending a game and the umpires being a major talking point afterwards.

Ah, right then! Though think there must still be some running as saw a Hurstbridge bound train stopping at Jolimont to drop a load off

Admittedly i drove, so don't know, but is the transportation situation today any different to Thursday night (85,000) or last night (78,000)?

30 mins till bounce and not many here. We'll be lucky to crack 30,000 unless theres a heap of people outside or still on the way.

LOL at the poor Colli-flogs going up with their Colling-woooood chant 6 mins early, not scoring again, then copping the Gee-looooong chant in return at the end.

If there are any Telstra mobile/home internet/home phone/foxtel customers out there, you can get cheap $20 tickets to pretty much any game you like, via the "Telstra thanks" offers. Sometimes tickets are in AFL members, sometimes GA. As of a few mins ago, there are still GA tickets available down at the cattery. I got a couple but could have purchased up to 10

Hore debuting too

Didn't want to start a new thread... Having rewatched last years final vs Geelong, one thing I'm looking forward/hoping to seeing some progress on is putting teams away. 5.2 at 1/4 time. 6.13 plus a couple out on the full and multiple missed chances at 3/4 time. We had them on toast most of the game but lacked the killer punch. Even though I know what happened in the 4th it was still frustrating as hell. Bring on Saturday!!

1. Went to Speedway at Avalon/Mt Gambier/Warrnambool/Simpson/Moama/Ballarat/Hamilton/Parramatta 2. Visited family in NZ for few weeks 3. Finally hooked up Netflix

Besides the obvious May, KK, return of Lever.. etc, the player I'm most excited about is Hunt. Don't know why, but I have a feeling he is going to come good. Him firing on one wing and KK the other would be awesome.

Not sure if serious or in jest, but yes!
