Random Task

Except for freo being two points above the swans now. Swans going to need to find an extra win to get above them. Their percentage would have done the trick but doesn't matter anymore.

Holy [censored] they kicked a goal

Sydney have thrown this game away.

Sydney can't buy a goal.

Is he looking cute in a knee brace?

Would like to see Brown and van Rooyen together in the f50 but gut feel says it will be one or the other.

That's Verrall, our rookie ruck from last years draft.

Tigers upset Swans (because f the cats) Crows Dogs (help us out doggies) Suns (because f the pies) Port Blues Dees Saints (the one game they can't go full saints mode and unexpectedly drop)

Sounds like Brown and Bowey are likely ins going of Goodys presser. Also, reading between the lines, it sounds like they will stick with Petty back as the preferred set up for May and Lever.

I like where your mind is at, but I'd caution in getting too wrapped up in the value of points alone. They are a guide and mainly useful for f/s and academy bidding. We've regularly seen lopsided trades using the points system for various reasons. Usually when trying to trade up, clubs will have to "overpay" in points to entice the club. Gws as it stands is in best position to make a play for pick 1 with their hand. As colm posted, our most likely option is GC picks 9. This is due to them most likely wanting to trade it out for academy bidding purposes. Something left field might come out though and if Giants don't make a play for Reid then they are another potential trading partner.

I recall this as well. Makes West Coast's failures more enjoyable. Can Geelong be next please?

Is this the worst match-up visually in the AFL? That Gold Coast jumper abomination and then hawthorn with their colours (admittedly this design is better than their home one).

Three holding the man frees not paid to crows, this umpiring is atrocious.

And a crow nearly had his face kicked-in and again no call

Kicking in-danger is just about a non-existent rule now. Seen two that should have gone against Collingwood in the last quarter and a bit.

I'd we want Reid we really need freo to give us a top 5-6 pick to be in the conversation. We couldn't even trade into pick 5/6 with 3 first rounders last year.

Oscar Allen is a young talent you build your side around and is contracted until 2025. We'd be better off looking at the older players like Barrass or Yeo who may not want to go through a full rebuild to see out their careers. And no way they should be getting list concessions 5 years after winning a flag. They'll sort themselves out in time.

Or the classic, 'as I mentioned before/earlier...' despite sometimes nothing of the sort being said earlier.

English is also my first language, I'm just really bad at it. *apologies for the lame set-up and joke, felt funny at the time and is sort of an inside joke as my partner, who isn't a native English speaker, speaks English far better than I do.

Sydney up by 52 points at quarter time and Eagles % is now below 50.

Dees currently with pick 5 with Sydney comfortably ahead of freo on percentage. Still want essendon to win. I'm of the view that if we have to hope for teams around us to fail for us to qualify for top 4 then we aren't much chop anyway. Let freo fall as far as possible and put top 4 in our own hands.

Also English is my second language so struggle with some expressions and writing.

Don't know to be honest.

Fair enough, I mainly read anti-bomber sentiment which I completely understand.
