At Least I Saw a Flag

I agree with the comments about the commentary. Abysmal. Sewell was sent to find out what happened to Reid. His report was greeted with such congratulations from his colleagues that I fully expect him to be nominated for a Walkley award. Ling and Carey provide no insights. Taylor is just a big fat turd. McAveney's demented growls of excitement at Hawthorn goals were excruciating.

Now come on!! The boys jolly well tried ... well, for some of the time. And as for turnovers/skills errors, well, that's just bad luck!! Even guys on $200,000 - 500,000 are allowed to have an off day at work. Aren't we all? (Well, I guess I'm not, I'd get sacked.) So, don't be mean about the chaps. Twas a fine honourable loss. Which can be catalogued with all the others this year. Better luck next week young fellas!!

Hmm, who was I hoping would win? Hawthorn or Collingwood? Bit like would I rather have cholera or leprosy?

McAveney is a demented idiot. His shrill growls of excitement are ridiculous. Surely it's time for him to be taken out to the back paddock!!

His later post commented on the later match at Arctic .... I was commenting on both posts. .....

No, I'm not Titus. But he's the second wittiest bloke I "know".

I was there too ... I suspect Buckenara would have kicked the goal even without the 15 metre penalty. And even if we made the GF we would have been thumped by Carlton anyway ...

I love Titus. After the win v st kilda he made a comment along the following lines - "Cop that Saints. No one beats the Demons 15 times in a row."

I was there!!!

"The past is a foreign country". L.P. Hartley, The Go Between.

Indeed. Sounds like the obstacles faced/overcome by the Bulldogs last season!!!

Norf paying $2.70 against Dees. (Demons @ $1.47). Generous odds on Norf given they have won the last 14 or so in a row.

Watched the replay. A few random thoughts ... I thought Wagner was ok. We got a good run from the umps ... for once !!! Frost was good. I liked the taps rather than taking possession and getting caught. Didnt overdo the handball. Got the ball into the forward line quickly. Playing with JKH was playing one short. Kent is so much better

Nothing like admiring your own work !!

Probably worth retaining on the rookie list once his contract has ended ....

I wish Goodwin could find the cure !!!

I certainly feel hassled watching Bugg play

have lost $100. I put money on Adelaide. Having said that, I'd be delighted to lose that money.

The sad reality is that MFC is a poor - mediocre side, with some ability to occasionally pull off an upset.

BBO, this is "right up your alley" !!!!

I wonder what it feels like to go to a match confident of a win !!!

I just put $10 on Clayton for the Brownlow @ $67

Have you forgotten the Jack Fitzpatrick tunnelball incident??

Melksham should be dropped

BT. 7 minutes to go. Collingwood 27 points up. BT says the game's in the balance. He is like something I flushed this morning.
