Garlett for Kennedy was stupid.

Teams know how to beat us: in transition, spread, in space, out the back. Put enough pressure on and we'll buckle. Terrible.

Oscar is Tom's brother. They lose contests in the same way. It's scary.

Collingwood isn't leading. Melbourne are losing. Shocking skills.

Mcdonald is being soundly beaten by one of the league's biggest spuds.

As soon as Mcdonald takes his eye of the ball and onto the opponent, he loses the contest. He is not a smart footballer. Dare I say, he has been Melbourne'd.

Our awareness is killing us.

We hand goals to teams.

McDonald. King of dumb dumbs.

Pitiful turnout by Pies fans.

Melbourne beat GWS, GWS smashed Port, Port smashed Melbourne. Hell, Richmond beat Sydney!

I don't think it was intentional. Not sure Chip has the brain capacity to know what's going on, even in his own life

As I mentioned above, he's not really playing the role of "journalist", it's PR. He's going to toe the club line.

They've fallen off faster than I thought was possible for Collingflog fans. 28k against Port last week. Well down. I predict 50k-55k. For once it won't be because Melbourne fans haven't shown up.

You just provided feedback on a public forum Just sayin'

I'd fit in at the club's media department

I hope they keep Grimes because he's competent and a good depth player. Not great, but a good clubman who until we can improve our depth stocks, should stick around. As for Burgs, he has to tow the club line. He is essentially PR, not really "media". He is mostly objective with the occasional optimistic op-ed.

Personally can't see us winning more than 2-3 wins. Will be the second year in a row that they would have finished below expectations. My standard last year was 8 minimum, and 10 this year. Loses to Essendon and Saints, and the way they lost to Port have lowered my expectations of this team but 10 is still my pass mark. Finals won't happen this year. Essendon loss + the last two weeks have made it very tough.

I actually wasn't quite sure what bit of the game people were talking about and mostly ignored the noise, but watching that and I remember the moment vividly. I also remember thinking to myself, "Gee he judged that poorly". I didn't think twice about it. Didn't seem like he shirked the contest imo.

Easily in our top 5 most important players.

That is not what I meant. From an on-field perspective in 2010, we eventually struggled because you had young kids shouldering the load. We have added Vince and H to the fold for experience but in much the same way, we have very unexperienced players in areas that win and lose matches. I also said we have a stronger young brigade this time, but I guess you skipped over that part. In 2010 we had many young kids that showed promise, and the media was showering us with praise. It broke down. I am fearful of another breakdown, and I think we need another player of Vince's caliber into the club.

I use a VPN to geoblock and access watchafl.afl.com.au. Pay with my Aussie credit card and stream all games in decent quality, and hook it up to my television. International viewers have better streaming options and quality than we do in Australia. The fact the AFL YouTube channel, which is run by Telstra, is only at 360p max is comical. The NBN project from the start was a disaster. We won't know how it would have ended under Labor, but they blatantly lied about rollout dates close to the 2013 election to get votes, and blatantly lied about the sort of revenue the network would generate. Federal funding was going to end sooner rather than later irrespective of who was in power and the NBN was always going to need to generate private sector funding. It is one of the most poorly conceived infrastructure projects in our history. Labor's original plan to tender out FTTN to the private sector was the right one. Public companies are only accountable to politicians. The ACCC said Labor couldn't do that, which was a moronic choice. It was an economic, technological disaster from the start.

It has a strong stench of 2010, doesn't it? We have a stronger young brigade imo but it's almost like we've made the same mistakes. Most of our "depth" players have less than 30 games experience, so if we get injuries suddenly we're bringing kids in with zero experience.

I guess we know why Roos is pursuing with the likes of Omac, Wagner and Hunt, in the same way he pushed Frawley forward: preparing for the worst.

Reality is that these mini casinos keep a lot of clubs afloat. There are responsible gambling services, and these environments treat adults as they are: free-thinking adults. This country is filled with prudes. Everything needs to be taxed or banned, and then 20 years later the same people that wanted it banned want it "reformed" for tax revenue. It's a vicious cycle of stupidity.
