whatwhat say what

bears look in complete control

always worry about a slopfest

bloods look really, really good - have a strong defensive mindset and set-up mccartin x2, rampe, and flankers is a solid back six

carlton should have been playing finals for the last three years, minimum they've failed to achieve much with a very developed list long season to go

and if we win and the crom lose theirs we'll host there too, presumably?

bluebaggers bloods filth bears pear us (although i think it'll be pretty close - gc17 are coming) kangas gw$ if dusty is out, as rumoured jokers i feel like this week is a bit of pot-luck - you never know who is going to beat who, which is i guess what the afl prefers

saint nick's advice for growing old: "grow a porntache"

exactly making them professional and - as such - accountable would damage the bottom line as you'd have to treat them professionally, have proper standards, training, development, and that all involves a financial commitment that the afl have proved unwilling to make

that umpires are still part time says a lot about how serious the afl is about having a professional approach to officialdom

lol next time it happens to do a non-entity player and / or team and they'll throw the book at em

the king bros? pfft, they're not even fit to be dogga's false teeth

crom fans: "you've got one" (in reference to rachele) and "yr on wr way to making a long journey from milan to minsk" (rochelle, rochelle) cartlank fans: you should've played finals the last three years, at least - looks like you might get there this year peptides fans: yr too small in the middle; get stringer back in the midfield and you will be better / you've got no forward line; get stringer back in there and you will be better / you look light on down back; can stringer play there? filth fans: such a shame you'd traded out of the draft last year; you could have daicos and rachele pear fans: have you got any tall defenders left? what happened to to robbie gray this time? tiggas fans: you really missed prestia; how long will this hammy keep him out?

🍐 look very small down back without: mckenzie - looked to be gone for some time, amazingly apparently available this week aliir - syndesmosis, 5-12 weeks (depending on who you believe) clurey - already on the injury list, 3-4 weeks

rowell just got absolutely flattened

top of the g!

jason horne-francis looks a helluva player

yep, but even then gerard whately manages to quote 5k less than were actually there on wednesday yesterday's crowd of sub 70k on a perfect saturday afternoon between a hyped up club and a veteran successful one was really, really bad

can't believe it's not being played in tasmania...

birth of bowser!

AFL exec take offence at this assertion that their second northern franchise has no supporters

Fab watch as a neutral

well - not really even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

swans vs gw$ super entertaining ollie florent is a jet
