  1. Some howlers coming out of the backline by the bombers.
  2. Good to see bombers fans booing Maynard. They've got more taste than I thought!
  3. They could drop to 8th by the end of the round
  4. Bombers trying to beat the Pies with behinds
  5. Langford?
  6. What??? Go away, you bloviating buffoon!
  7. Hope he tears the game apart, leaving de-brie in his wake
  8. Welcome back, Toady Hope life in Westrailya is treating you well
  9. I like bananas, but I reckon that's a sacrifice we'll spent. Hope it made a complete mess of him
  10. Just signed a new deal, he's the future of GWS. Highly, highly doubt they'd let him go, nor that he'd want to go, nor that we'd have the picks that would get it done
  11. Blues. He's an interloper
  12. Channel 10 news saying we are into Jake Waterman
  13. I think it's only a matter of time before the knee to an opponents head in the marking contest is banned. Concussion is the AFLs biggest worry at the moment, if the law suits are successful they may have no choice to ensure any head contract is banned, any contact at all. I get that a speckie is one of the true highlights of the game, and that should continue, but without contact to the head. Difficult as that may be, players will train for it and adapt There is no other situation in a game where head contract is permitted. You can't knee an opponent's head on the ground in a contest, a ruck cannot leap and knee the other ruck in the head, the hip and shoulder went years ago. It's time for the knee to the head in a marking contest to be penalised
  14. James Jordan would've been happy with that in '21
  15. They are separate issues. Yes, we should kick more goals from the opportunities we get And... Yes, the umpiring needs to improve
  16. Injury and illness have crueled his consistency over the last 2.5 seasons He was super fit and confident in our premiership year, seems to have lost a yard of pace since then. Let's not forget that since 2021 the game itself has stepped up a notch in terms of speed and demands on instant decision making
  17. Not enough of a trip for him to take a further 3 or 4 steps and then dive over the line. Nibbler definitely put a lot of mayo into his action and the ump saw right through it. It was obvious he wanted the ball over the line for a stoppage
  18. Poor fitness affects skills late in the game. The quicker a player can get their breath back for a set shot the calmer they are to take the kick. A snap on the run with tired legs is likely to be less accurate (Fritter, Langdon in the last) Could they have better executed the kick with greater fitness? It's a sliding doors moment, but they certainly looked spent Has our fitness declined or dropped off since our flag year? Certainly we've had some very slow starts to games and now we're stopping in the last quarter.
  19. Difficult to believe we are still only 1 win and about 6% away from 5th spot
  20. Obvious Steven May mark not paid... turnover... Bris score. How predictable
  21. And we made 'learnings', doesn't that mean we're good sports?
  22. Here's the still as he landed the try. Viney calling for it. Lohmann's momentum heading towards May, Woey's towards Viney. Only McCluggage to beat. Handball along the ground would've done it. He panicked
  23. Nah mate watch the replay, he baulked daniher and took about 4 mini nibbler steps to the boundary, actually glanced up at his team mates who were clear in front of him. McCluggage was the only Lion near him as he landed the try. Viney and Woey were standing and another team mate on the ground. FCS, Viney had his arms out calling for it. If anything, ANB was actually tripped by Daniher, who put his hand out to collect his feet
  24. That's just not true. Daniher was on the ground. Viney and Woey were in front of ANB, he just had to get it past McCluggage
