Couple of sausages being kicked

Another one of these big time games for Weid.

The Great Australian Beer Spectacular at the Royal Exhibition Building. Sorry bout that!

Let's go Narrm, need to bring our A game today. Might have to leave early to go to GABS but hopefully not.

It's a Static-X night tonight..

I mean forget mean happened. Theres 6 seconds left at that throw in, I'd be surprised if the Swans players didn't know this. Did they really have to hold? I think the free kick was dicey but why even put doubt in the umpires mind? I also love it how we're so mortified that someone boots a ball into the stands and pay 50s for it because they can't get it back to the player quickly yet if someone boots a behind into the stands we have ball boys like lightening throwing another ball to the kick in guy to keep play going :p

Prestia for a goal was good money too tonight, wish I had it!

That is brutal!

Free kick was soft, the seconds tick down, the noise so loud, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the Swans player didn't hear it before kicking into the stands. Technically a 50 but perhaps par for the course.

BT has completely lost the plot. Free kick was soft anyway, 50 would have been controversial after the siren went but it probably should have been paid. Correct call I though though.

Lack of discipline

You can't do that in AFL football if you want to be a success

How about that Macca! Probably neighbours. I went to Kew Primary School and half the kids there were Hawks fans so if you spoke ill of them you ended up with no friends! That time would have been great watch the Dees under Northey, 23 years without finals is just unheard of 06 to 18 was bad enough! I do have a soft spot for the Hammers, saw a lot of similarities with Melbourne. Hopefully they win something soon. He's just been a revelation, his value to the club has been even more than the trophies. The way he's brought the fans together in the city of Liverpool and beyond is incredible, he really is the modern day Shankly. You need to be that as manager of this club, it's such a people driven club. And yes the football is very nice to watch!

Very level headed view of it all Macca. Unfortunately even believing all of that myself I still think I would have spat the dummy hard! Growing up in the Hawthorn area and half my friends being Hawks fans it would have just been all too much for me! I saw this game on tape so much I wore it out. Bucky was easily one of the best set shots around I reckon he probably would have kicked it too. Simon Eishold gets off way too easy for his part in this game!

Unless they were indeed undermined by top management and not able to do their job properly 😛

Macca if there's one day I wish like hell I was old enough to have fully experienced it's that final round in 1987, I reckon that would have been off tap. In contrast though if there's one day I'm so very grateful I wasn't old enough to fully experience or remember well it's the 87 prelim at Waverley..

Out

We are the Boa constrictor, we suffocate teams until there is no breath left. In some ways I'd find playing against that worse than being wiped off the park and put out of your misery.

Good news mate, hopefully it arrives in time for the game 🙂

There's nothing like it anywhere. Seeing the transistor radios and phones out in the crowd for constant score checking! Well done to Leeds I'm glad they stayed up, maybe James Milner leaves Liverpool to finish the career off where it started? Time will tell. Nerves starting to kick in for the final this Sun morning. Bit worried about the health of our side, Thiago is 50-50, Fabinho 50-50, Van Dijk battling and I still don't feel Salah is 100%. Not ideal when you're taking on a rampant Real Madrid side full of belief right now.

Being surrounded by North fans (albeit 4 or 5 of them) was an experience I hadn't had for a long time. The talk about the standing ovation at half time was bang on. They were pretty ordinary but late in the last quarter one of them did turn to me asking if I had the GF tickets etc. Said we were an impressive side and good luck to us so that was kinda nice. But to your point those aren't going to feel sorry for us if they are top and we are bottom because like us they will be wrapped up in their own success. I do feel bad for opposition footy fans who pay their memberships and get a bum steer from their clubs though.

Positive news about Salo, no need to rush it.

Yeah and they're more helter skelter all the time whereas we're measured and pick our moments. I feel like it could tax them more as the season goes on.

I think Weitering is least the joint best defender in the comp right now. Performing in a back line with chaos like that all the time is a big deal.

No worries. I mean it's possible but it seems like the rules this document is open to interpretation.. I'm surprised it didn't go through every possible scenario, at least in the sections I read.
