  1. I was at this game. I have never left any game before full time and this one never gave me an inkling to; I was completely inured to another defeat and going home on the train trying not to make eye contact with anyone. Even when we kicked a few goals in the third, I had seen it all before; late rally after being putrid and going down by 20 points or so. I still could not make eye contact on the way home with anyone; I was still in shock.

  2. That advantage that wasn’t allowed was one of the worst decisions you could ever see. The ball was kicked inside 50 to two Melbourne players with no North player within 30 metres of them, The umpire then called the ball back for a free kick to the Melbourne player who kicked the ball. All spectators were incredulous no matter what side they supported.

    The only teams that struggled this year for numbers were Kilcunda and Dalyston (they are the Korumbarra's and Meeniyan's of yesteryear). The top teams are still of a high quality and the good coaches are of a very high quality. You're out of your depth on this one Saty.

    I take Gippsland footy, South Gippsland in particular, more seriously than i do AFL nowadays.

    How did IK go this year? They were my local team when I was growing up.

    Apart from the odd cameo, Preuss has been shown to not be able to bring this form to the AFL. At all. He has been mediocre at best.

    Reminds me of those clammering for Hore to be brought in after starring at VFL level. We did, and he was one of the worse performers yesterday. (12 disposals at 50%, 4 clangers, 4 marks from someone renowned for his marking, and zero tackles).

    AFL/VFL are completely different levels, played at a very different pace. Standout performances in one do not always translate to the other (and that goes both ways), and we've seen plenty of players who consistently dominate in the VFL but fail at AFL level. Here's hoping that's not the case with Preuss.

    Hore was a proven performer at AFL level prior to breaking his collarbone. That is why people were clamouring for his inclusion.
