Mitch Clark's 6 goals - how ... 'depressing'.
Deestroy All replied to bush demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
Or when someone says a player is no good/hopeless/rubbish etc... and the old "they made it on to an AFL list, what have you done" line comes out. We're not saying they suck in comparison to Sunday Joe the ammo, we're saying they suck at AFL level. Hard to grasp for some people. -

You realise football is entertainment, right? We pay to be entertained by our teams, the more successful they are, the more entertained we are. Most people on here aren't being paid to be watched by spectators, so comparing us getting sacked to footballers getting sacked is pointless. Our interest is in the Melbourne Football Club winning, not if Joe Blogs is still stacking shelves at Big W. Sure you can call football a business, but if you were paying someone top dollar to work for you for 4 years, he took the money but rarely showed up, then suddenly pulled the pin and went and worked for your competitor, you wouldn't be too happy. As for my thoughts on Mitch, I'm not bitter at all. In fact I want him to play every game this season and tear every team (except us) apart. The universal hatred from opposition supporters isn't quite there yet, if he starts smashing teams it'll come pretty quickly and I'll be happiest when everyone hates him. ...yeah I'm pretty bitter. -
Nathan Jones recognised by competition at last

This is our grand final. -
Kiss of death? Didn't the Meatloaf fiasco teach them anything?

I thought it's a given that that would be part of their act. -

Mark Jacko Jackson and Wiz Capper doing their hit singles I reckon. -
I've always been a fan (but not of last year!), but on form he doesn't make my back 6. Jetta Frost Dunn Salem McD Lumumba Move the 3 talls around according to match ups. Garland and Grimes have gone backwards whilst that 6 is moving forward. I hope calls are made to keep positions honest, rather than games on reputation.

Grimes and the other Jones were just terrible. Happy with Toumpas' effort to turn it around in the 2nd half, but he worryingly reminds me of Watts. Newton looks good when he's got it. Vanders too, although he skips leg day, though calves, once you see it you can't unsee it, you'll see... Forward delivery and structure was spaghetti junction. Need to improve here more than anything. Frost is the fastest man alive, Google it, it's fact. Overall we weren't easy to beat which is a continuation of last year. We need to turn that into wins with better movement and efficiency going forward.

So no one told you Frost was playing forward? Trouble in paradise... -

TDI spoke to Hogan and Hogan said you mentioned him. -
There's always one. "Wasn't there" meaning 2 feet to the left or right, or better still as close to the post as possible. Not literally not there, christ. If the ball hits the ref in the middle of the field then fair enough. Not when their job is not on the field. How many times has a zebra holding a line marker in the NFL knocked a ball back into play? Zero. Solution: the umpire should stay the [censored] out of the way. If he can't, he makes a simple judgement call and says a ball travelling 50kmh that just hit me was going through the goals, it's a goal. Simples.

Now that would bring some entertainment. Players trying to ping the goal umpires from point blank range for bonus points. I'd like to see that.
-
It's a completely moronic rule. If he wasn't there it was going in, so call it a goal. Same with when it hits a boundary umpire and stays in, logic and common sense says it was going out, so call it out. There's the odd chance a flash hurricane may appear and blow the ball back into the field of play, so perhaps they have the rule right...

I agree. The AFL should also provide a time machine so when Beverage stopped the play he could send Libba back in time 2 minutes as to not do his knee.
