monoccular

In the very unlikely event of Norf upsetting Weagles I reckon WA will secede from the Commonwealth.

Pavlich needs to PHFO. Though too late now. Need 4 goal in 8 minutes.

Choke by Sheridan of Normanic proportions

Pity the Dockers can't kick set shots. Clear in the back to Walters in front of goal. No free RIGGED. CORRUPT AFL Then a nothing free to Hale in a pack marking contest.

How can Suckling be allowed to fun off his mark after the siren? Over umpired except when it counts. Bloody disgrace.

No 50 when the hawk comes in on the mark from behind? Would have been paid the other way

The (just joking) "Integrity Folk" at AFL will look at it and say "no case to answer" But seriously we couldn't have an all WA GF - just wouldn't do. Ps. The game is being grossly over umpired.

The usual massive home ground umpiring bias is totally reversed clearly the AFL do not want an all WA GF and have instructed the maggots to ensure that.

So, breaking a hand makes one "injury prone"!!!

The censorship is presumably some automaton- you seem to have been using a term that is used in the context of something that one shouldn't do to a dead horse, or would do so in vain. A bit like it doesn't allow the noun for a person that tosses something. Or the given name of the Essendon (pre EssUndone) Brownlow winner of the early 1950s, Mr Reynolds. Not sure about Mr Robin who announced that the sky was falling - I will try it: [censored] Robin. All too PC really, but that us where the world is heading.

** on a reputedly ten year contract. A decade for a 27 year old by my calculations brings him to 37 yo at the end of the contract- does anyone seriously think that, even the recent revelations aside, he could have played until he was 37??? Harvey, Fletcher yes but Franklin??? And of course the contract is Kosher and the Swans' salary cap is Kosher (COLA aside). And Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are as true as the Tooth Fairy :-))))

Some interesting comments there - do you seriously believe that the three strike policy is administered in an impartial, integrity driven manner by the AFL?? Really?? Truly?? For superstars??

I am not sure either, nor is anyone posting here, really. Only time will tell.

He was missed far more than many would have thought Best 22 of our current mob, IMVHO

Whilst I am a genuine pedant, just maybe autocorrect has had some influence. Can do strange things, sometimes. Seems a pretty reasonable summation But the usual suspects will no doubt come out with "I told you so " or some variant.

WJ - a perfect incontrovertible summation. I love reading his blogs about his rehab. Sounds like one mentally tough dude. So looking forward to seeing him in 2016.

Agree. A great start, with much improved decision making and disposal though as the team as a whole declined / fatigued mentally as defeat piled upon defeat, he too sagged for a while. Just a thought - chicken or egg: do teams that win regularly get less mentally and physically fatigued, or do less mentally and physically fatigued teams win more? My guess is a bit of both. It must be demoralizing not expecting to win. It is a cycle that must somehow be broken, very soon.

Yeah......"kick it long. Big Bob #16 will mark and goal" :-) Reminiscing just isn't what it used to be. ...or, v Saints, 20 seconds to go. :-(((

Blease #2???

Gawn gives me confidence too

out of dodge or dogde?Surely a beat up If the doggie bro was playing he would have heard the full game plan - he wasn't so maybe he said something generic such as watch Murphy, or Bontemp runs through the middle etc. Like something that blind Freddie knows anyway. I guess the "integrity department" (just joking) may be just looking for something to do to try to just stiff their pathetic existence.

dazzle - I didn't realise that anyone had to have our permission to tour anywhere, even drug laboratories. As Django pointed out above, we have played our cards close to our chest sing the professionals took over, so who here really knows who we are after or what we are offering?

The MRP set their precedent last week for kicking or fending off with the feet.......until some poor bugger gets his leg broken, then in their typical reactionary manner they will come down hard (depending of course on who is the assailant and for whom they play and what time in the season it occurs) stating that fending off with the feet in unacceptable and un-Australian and deserves the harshest penalty.

Well done. I had thought that he may be held back until 2016, but injuries (and poor performances) prevailed so he got his debut early...and didn't let us or himself down. Looking forward to bigger things for a long time ahead. GO DEES

A hugely disappointing year for Dom.....hopefully he can return from the break injury free and fired up to regain his lofty 2014 standards.
