At Least I Saw a Flag

FWIW I hope that the shortened matches continue after covid-19; if/whenever that is. More close matches/less blowouts. I don't like the Saints much, but glad for Ratten. He has endured a lot ... sacked as coach of the Blues/son dying. He was awesome as Demons' midfield coach.

Papley's so good ... 4 goals so far.

Really good match. Hope GWS win ... but I think Tigers will run over the top of them.

On Seventh Avenue ...

The word "schadenfreude" springs to mind.

The fact that he is being talked about so much will help his cause. I'm sure that influences the umpires when awarding votes.

Clarkson was actually magnanimous in defeat. Said how good Melbourne was. Didn't make a comment like "they're not that good", which he did after the loss to Jee-long.

No sugarcoating this one... The Dees are bad and we made them look like stars. __________________________________________________________ From Hawthorn's supporters forum.

IT'S PARTY TIME !!!!

No one's to panic til I give the signal ....

Bennell = silk

Gunston freakin dropped the ball

Brayshaw .... WTF?

Centre bounce ... great tapout to teammate ...then turnover (x 2)

Where's the famous shinboner spirit?

He's not doing much better tonight. His gushing is towards the first gamer Weightman and "Duck, Duck, Duck ...." Perhaps he could look at the replay and report back how many times he said "Duck" in a quarter? In which quarter did he say "Duck" the most? What was the longest interval between saying "Duck"?

As I've mentioned several times, I've come across Lyon a number of times at close quarters. Dreadful man. Sadly he was my favourite player back in the day which kinda makes it worse. i also dislike Watson. His smarminess is excruciating. The combination of Lyon & Watson is appalling. Can't stand McAvaney either. His demented growling sends me spare. His sucking up to Carey "duck ... duck ... duck" is ridiculous. And calling players by their nicknames e..g Sauce is painful. BT ... nup. Ling ... same. Brown's a meathead. Perhaps I just hate everyone? Actually, Reiwold despite being boring is capable of some reasonable comments. And I find Richo quite endearing. I'm going to bed ... night all. I think I've lost the plot.

That's great that he played well on Saturday. But let's not get carried away just yet.

Beta surely?

Yes, I thought the same. He just put the ball on the ground. Clear free kick against him.

Is he playing?

Long assaulted a player (Darcy) bending down to collect the ball. An example of the apple not falling far from the tree? (Michael Long/Troy Simmonds - 2000 GF)

Perhaps consult Baldrick?

Normally I'm pessimistic ... and place a bet on the opponent. Sadly my pessimism has, for the most part, not been misplaced and has regularly boosted my Sportsbet account balance. FWIW, Sportsbet have the Dees at $1.60, GC at $2.35. Contrary to my normal practice, I'm not placing a bet on GC. My position may well have been different if Rowell was playing. While I'm not going so far as to place at bet on the Dees, we could and should win. . Go Dees.

Filth v poos & wees Kennett v Triplechins Eeeekk!!!
