Fork 'em

The way we play week to week ... Lets say as a hypothetical we won the flag this year. I'd back it in we'd drop out've the 8 next year. They players would decide they'd done enough and slacken right off. Calling Clarkeson would be a ballsy move but I'd like it. He wouldn't stand for that sheet.

We do that ourselves. Not enough class to slice anyone apart.

Neither of those teams are top of the ladder.

We make hard work of forken everything. So hard to watch.

Problem is .... We can't ever be confident of even that. Honestly, how we're sitting on top of the ladder is a mystery to me.

Cause that's how we roll.

He isn't one for the flashy stuff but he rarely makes mistakes. Vandenberg might disagree though ?

And not doing enough to get it out. Got tackled and layed there.

Now thats what can happen when ya pop one to the top of the square rather than a forken pocket. Does my head in.

No fuss Spargo.

Was listening to the radio when Ugle-Hagan took a mark and kicked his 1st goal. Commentators went off their heads about how spectacular the mark was. How high, all jump blah, blah, blah. So to the video tape I went. Geez, they carp on. https://www.afl.com.au/video/649173/jamarra-off-the-mark-with-cracking-set-shot?videoId=649173&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1626505480001

He took a couple big marks early in the 1st Grand Final win. Missed the shots but he was huge getting them going. Earned abit of my respect that game.

For the next 15yrs.

Meh. Though they might've helped us hold top 4 I'd love to see them free fall back to the bottom of the ladder. And stay there. With Essendon. And Collingwood. And Geelong. And Hawthorn. And the Eagles. Oh ... And Carlton.

And FWIW, I don't care who wins but both Zorko and Short need to get a wriggle on for my Supercoach side.

Was disappointed we didn't make a play for him when Carlton put him up for grabs.

Can't remember who the tiges played last week but the opposition ran over the top of them kicking about 6goals to 1 in the last.

100% Some around here have the memory spans of goldfish. As opposed to losing to them ....

The calibre of Hawthorn supporters. This fool got a clip after smacking a Melbourne supporters drink from his hand after getting done a couple years back. Then cried "Poor innocent me." to the media.

Fogarty the meathead Ricciuto wannabe just thought he'd run through him. Got [censored] off too when he couldn't ? Good on the young fella.

The reason they let the throws go is cause the AFL want to keep the ball moving. They hate the congestion and if they have to let the odd throw out into space to allow that to happen .... So be it. Similar to the old days when there were a series of ball ups and nothing moving. The umps would pull a free kick out've their backsides to get the ball moving.

Got a bunch of mad Tiger supporters at work who magically started appearing out of the woodwork around that time. Been telling me all year that you don't win flags in may/june/july as they smugly expected their train to start rolling towards another flag in september. Turns out you might not win them then but you can certainly lose 'em. Funnily enough I haven't heard a peep for the last month. One gave me the Melbourne team picture from the herald sun along with a smartarse comment before the season started. I hung it straight up over the table he sits at for lunch and it's still there mocking him now. Also have a niece who had been a Melbourne supporter all her life who got a new richmond supporting boyfriend around that time and decided to change teams. Turns out she's now such a mad tiger she sports a pair of skanky Richmond premiership tatts. Not that it's any great surprise. She has a string of dumb decisions to her name. Might not be entirely her fault as both her parents are morons.

Tell that to Ross Lyon.

I'd like the umpires to call frees that have always been in the game and be consistent with those. You shouldn't be able to throw it. Kicks need to travel more than 15m. Push in the back needs to be paid. Holding the man while h'es leading the race for the ball should be called. A tackled player shouldn't be able to be spun 405deg before being called for holding the ball. Blokes diving into tackles for head high contact should get told to play on. A player shouldn't be able to waltz around the man on the mark who is being to "STAND" etc, etc. The list goes on. The umpiring as a whole is deplorable these days.
