The Other Preliminary Final
As I said....pathetic knee jerk reaction. After all, Lyons “shrewd tactic”backfired on him
-
The Other Preliminary Final
DeeeeGooey, and now Howe looking injured. Mmmmmm
-
The Other Preliminary Final
Which knee jerker made that call ..... Vlad or Dill? I agree it is a stupid idea. Loses momentum not only for the teams but also for the supporters, especially the “neutral”ones.

The Other Preliminary Final
And is he saying that that absolute champion Prancer having a typical amazing game? That is for nuts, not usually for Cox
-
The Other Preliminary Final
How good is it to see Prancer being towelled Not listening to the TV commentary - is Broooooose devastated?
-
The Other Preliminary Final
Huge Cox can sometimes be effective, but can they fall a long way? ABC GRANDSTAND DIGITAL is very nearly synchronized..Certaily easier on the ear than poor old Broooose

The Other Preliminary Final
Warning. Don’t play injured players, even “ superstars “.

The Other Preliminary Final
Slipping and slithering.... but Gill the Dill wants a night GF. I guess the guys at the polo club could play then get to the corporate box in time for the drinks.

The Other Preliminary Final
We could Beat either of these.

MaYbe 2 weeks off in three is it good. Hope so.

The Other Preliminary Final
It appears that “incorrect disposal” is no longer a rule. I wonder if we will get such latitude as Optus stadium tomorrow?

Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch
Bailey Finals selections can be horribly tough. You have had a fabulous debut season and it is only match ups that have denied you the preliminary final. IF we win GF match ups may well see you back, otherwise I am looking forward to an even better 2019 and beyond. You are already my second favourite #31 of all times and it is no disgrace to come second to the great RDB GO DEES

2018 AFL NAB NATIONAL DRAFT ORDER
There was something I heard on SEN about teams - I think they said Carlscum, and maybe BNE and GC$$ - getting free access to the second tier competitions prior to the draft - sounds like typical BS policy on the run by the ? at AFL HQ. Lest we forget that is where, though our recruiters’ hard work, not through gifts from HQ, we found VDB, Hannan and Frisch. OMG I loathe the current administration of our game. Gillon can’t get moved back to polo fast enough. He is THE worst administrator in AFL VFL history.

Would we take $cully back?
Agree dazzle We don’t need poor kicks, ???. And that could represent me if the little ? comes back, or Max helping us to be rid of him.

Match Preview and Team Selection - Preliminary Final
Absolutely feel for Bailey, but he has been played. by necessity, out of position. He has had a fantastic first season and is destined for bigger things. Who knows, IF we do win matchups may see him back for the GF? Can't criticise the selection though. However it does look like Jeffy may have played his last game. It will be interesting to see his body language in the VFL GF.

Proposed new rules for 2019
The ":below the knees" rule is is desperate need of clarification. The "message" sent out by the free against Brayshaw on Friday (maybe to a lesser extent Lewis too) is frankly dangerous. It suggests that if a player is down getting the ball trip over him and get a free. Extremely dangerous. We have heard for years that the head must be protected but here we have a player going in for the ball, collecting it, and an opponent IMO deliberately initiating contact with the head with his feet and getting rewarded. I am extremely concerned that if this continues, than there will be a serious and permanent head or neck injury - after which of course they will come out and express surprise and concern. It is a pity that the AFL are too bloody weak to come out and say that head high (or head low) contact takes precedence over below knee contact.

Oliver doesn't care if you don't like him
That Selwood one was a disgrace - umpire totally sucked in. Maybe they were .... certainly this week's opponents will be. Really pisses me off (mentioned earlier in this thread) that they warn - just give the friggin free and it will stop.

Perth radio 6PR lighting a fire under the Prelim
And just wait to hear whatever clown is running the maggots this year explain the inexplicable aberration as being anything other than intimidation of umpires who should be above that.

Dom Tyson - what's wrong?
You must be looking at a different Hannan than I am He contributed to several goals as well as his own and FWIW I can’t see him being dropped

Gawn Missing from Training (17/9)
Exactly Max .... 8 more quarters mate. Get the job done, then have a rest and make us a few coffees

Our supporter stereotype
Frawley actually got the ball? Didn’t really notice. Don’t really care. Bloody Juda$$

Roaming Brian - Melbourne vs Hawthorn, Semi Final
Agree. Cringeworthy but nonetheless entertaining - was Clarrie playing stupid, or ...?? OMG. Not there for BT’s segment. ? Surely incontrovertible and final proof that he hates this club and just can’t wait to feel the buzz and excitement of a Ross Lyon forward “structure”!
-
Oliver doesn't care if you don't like him
Maybe, but by comparison Williams was slow and unathletic, and his hand balling was never quite up to Clarrie's standard :-)
-
Oliver doesn't care if you don't like him
The maggots don't need to say anything - just blow the whistle and pay the free. The players (should) know the rules. Just like when there is a ruck contest the maggots prattle on "no holding, no holding" as if the ruck men don't know the rule. Just pay the bloody free! Whilst I am on the subject, they also need to pay some frees (and if it is for us or against us doesn't really matter as long as it evens up eventually) with all this punching, grabbing around the neck, and elbowing even before the game starts .... just pay a free ... no warnings. .... Nike_just do it.
