Yep Princes Park, Queens Bday 1989. Every ground in 1989 was an absolute bogheap including the G, must have been one hell of a wet winter. I remember going to this game with dad as a kid, got our "revenge" on the Hawks for 87 and 88 but revenge is a bit hollow when they've got the silverware. We got off to a flyer in 1989 then hit a wall, I seem to recall it coinciding with a Garry Lyon injury. A funny season, we lost to the Cats in round 12 at the G (the week after the Hawks win?) kicking only 2 goals for the whole game. 4 weeks later we played them at Waverley and beat them by 3 points in a bit of a shootout. I have many of these games stashed away on tape/hard drive will have to upload them to YouTube one day (assuming they're not already up).

Makes you wonder what the hell Stafford was teaching them for all those years

Excluding the obvious, Sparrow and Jefferson.

I'd like to see a "reverse" jumper, red with a blue yoke (royal or navy).

Same thing happened twice last week, Tomlin changed his mind late in the Browns TNF game and I think it was Philly also changed their mind on accepting/declining the penalty in their game. I agree it's garbage, once you make the call you can't change back based on what you see the other team deciding to do. Funny thing is I think it actually backfired on Tomlin, they would've been better declining the penalty in that snow game and trying to win the game on that one play.

Terrible play by the Raiders but also another call going the Chiefs way at the death. That call was called offside and the play blown dead so should not have resulted in a turnover. Refs confer for a few minutes and decide to call it illegal shift instead and allow the turnover to end the game.

Every season I am astonished at how many just plain bad teams there are. Poor skills, poor coaching, stupid mistakes. Look at the Raiders just then, O'Connell takes a sack pushing them back to the 40 causing the kicker to miss the FG. Just throw it away you [censored]. And that's just one example that happened in the last 2 minutes, yesterday was a day of horrible football topped off by the Giants/Cowboys game.

The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be!
Comes from good stock, he's a 4th gen league player right?
Yes father sons create an imbalance too but not to the same extent as academy picks which help regenerate the list with top players every other year. Without their academy selections they wouldn't have made the 2022 or 2024 GFs.
Yes but also propped up with academy picks through that time. Heeney, Mills, Blakey three of their best players they otherwise wouldn't have had. Gulden too?
Multiple GF embarrassments
100%!! Been saying for some time now, skill position players mean nothing without a good O-line. O-Line is the most important unit on the team, even a good QB will do nothing if he is constantly under pressure or running for his life. You must build from the inside out, these [censored] teams drafting rookie QBs high and then watch them run for their life, setting them up for failure.
Bosa is out too. Madden curse has extended to the entire team. Combined with the Superbowl loser curse the 9ers were on a hiding to nothing this year.
I'm surprised we couldn't amortise Gus's salary over the years of his contract. Maybe we decided to eat it all this year? Or would it not have been an option?
Legal costs and paying out Brayshaw turned it from a 1.6m profit to a 1.6m loss?
Probably why binge are offering 12 month deals for $5 a month at the moment
DAZN have handled NFL Gamepass since last season. The first season was a debacle - this year it's been a little better but they still have issues you don't expect when paying $250-300 for a sub. Streams randomly restarting, wrong streams starting when you click on a game tile, streams starting at the end so you spoil the score etc etc At least the quality has been ok this year (last year the buffering and drop in frame rate was bad) but still would be very frustrating trying to watch AFL on those servers/platform.
Always tough for the away team on a short week, especially if it's a divisional game and also coming off a brutal divisional game last week. Throw in a 2nd half blizzard and the Steelers were always going to struggle.
