Cheap Seats

Really putting it on the line picket... haha

About time. Those cslls have been going against us. Look at the poort and geelong games. If it is an afl.conspiracy let's hope it continues until then end of grand final day

I agree with you i just think there is a few more variables

Are you saying we are as good as the Hawks?

The post wrote Average median games played for all 20 games this season Feel free to interpret as you wish @Lucifer's Hero, its no skin off my nose For me it just backed up my thinking that this team has a lot of development left and that the more exposure to big games now the better. Suns and Geelong are interesting as well on that ladder

In the spirit of sharing stats. I saw the attached on an afl page which showed the ave median games played over the 20 rounds. I think we as a group tend to get caught up on stats and issues and lose focus that this team has a lot of growing to do. And in comparison to other teams theyve done pretty well. Do i want them to do better this year.. obviously. Have they shot themselves in the foot? Yes. But lets take a step back from time to time and look at the big picture.

The spare defensively is probably because we tend to turn the ball over a lot and get scored easily on the counter attack. Also if we lose clearances we get scored against too easily. If we can fix that, well....

Im glad I won't have to watch them choke come September.

Unconfirmed.... From a WCE source, if Gaff doesn't re-sign with the Eagles, they're expecting him to sign with the Dees.

Might make gaff cheaper to get.

I personally just think the kid needs some credit. Hasn't set the world on fire by any stretch of the imagination. Makes mistakes but is still a young player. Im really glad he has put together a couple of games and I hope he can build on it again today. GL JKH keep up the good work

Some commentators do have some merit in the opinions regarding congestion and over defensively set ups, but I can't agree more with the OP, leave the game alone and fix the umpiring interpretations. Typical over reaction from the media.. Mind you most of the noise initially was from Slobbo & Ralph who are Essendon supporters when their team were 2-6 or something like that.

My favourite from last night was the new advantage rule - Even though the crows played on they still decided to bring it back when it didn't work out.

Kids played 10 games. Cheer up couch expert

Things are always darkest before the light

Just making it clear, don't get upset Ill be honest, it went over my head but did enjoy it once I realised

Not may way to party mate I'm also not a Debbie downer

Who are we stoning? Ill get involved

1. We've found a couple players in - J Smith, Spargo & Fritsch. 2. If we can convert opportunites and stop making basic mistakes we play finals 3. Petracca starting to lift

Yawn

I was really happy for Stretch. Had a good rebound game. Hopefully he can keep steadily improving. Did anyonr hear footballs coming home...... just saying!

Think this one went over the op's head Mind u the priority pick they get will do for those 3....

A bit of me time for @picket fence... like Only a 7 for 20 contested posessions and a pb for petracca. Harsh. At least a 7.5 I'd have thought. O mac was hardly sighted - 3 max

I 100% agree, I am still frustrated by the game.... I've tried to bit my tounge but I need to rant to get it off my chest Now the emotions faded a bit, our biggest weakness is still there. We should have been a lot further in front in the first half. A couple of T Mac misses, some poor delivery in to the f50 really cost us the game overall. But your post re the 2nd half is spot on. the umpires had a direct influence on the result. And not that I've posted here but for a few years now I have been, and remain bewildered by the umpiring in all games. Inconsistent, over umpired, and a bit of me time by the umpires. Why pay free kicks when the infrindged team has possession? You watch how the umpires slow the game down with confusion and waiting for players at contested etc, this 3rd man up rule is the biggest joke going around. How hard is it to have 2 ppl contest the ball and if a 3rd goes up then pay a free. What the actual f is the point of slowing the game up and nominating players? Then the same geniuses complain the game needs to be sped up, give me a spell. The good ol boys club at the AFL and in the media over analysis in trying to simplify things has made umpiring the biggest black hole in the games history. What is a free kick now days??? No one actually knows anymore. Dropping the ball is gone, holding the ball is a raffle and what was the Melksham free for? Good work AFL on fing up a great game. Go and F yourselfs my cash imput is going to be reduced severely. PS: don't even get me started on the 30 sec goal shot clock and the complaints about poor goal kicking.... or the goal review Good work Gil you [censored] - keep up the good work

Sums up my thoughts exactly Im over the AFL it's a joke, between the inconsistent umpiring, the shiz fixturing and the AFL media, I honesty don't care about the AFL anymore. On top of that the call for priority picks for 'bottom' clubs to help them or Slobbo going on about the state of the game because Carlton n Essendon are shiz, I've had a gut full of the self love industry that is the AFL And the AFL won't lift a finger on the inconsistent umping which isn't even inconsistent form game to game anymore but umpire to umpire in game. How can rules be made up in game? How can 4 free kicks be paid to port in a succession of 2 mins for trivial incidents and nothing get paid the other way? It boggles my mind
