Random Task

Just watched the last 2minutes of the 3rd quarter after switching from casey. A bit firey with a number of pies players crudely giving it to Davidson from the lions, shoves while she was on the ground and standing over her etc... Must have missed something earlier but pies rattled and undisciplined. Lions will be a tough opponent next week.

Doesn't sound promising. Hopefully not much in the rumours and he is back sooner rather than later.

Wouldn't bank the Suns win just yet.

Maybe my bias coming in here but think Jonesy is acquitting himself quite well on TV.

De Koning looks seriously impressive.

Anyone else having issues with the afl live app? For me the game intermittently disappears from the match centre.

I just don't like them and would prefer they rot in the bottom half forever.

Really don't like seeing Carlton play good footy.

Horne-Francis and Ward look comfortable at the level already. The circle jerk over Horne-Francis by the commentators is a bit over the top though.

As entertaining as this game is, I don't think the coaches will be happy with the scores they're conceding.

I don't know for certain but rumour was GWS was happy to take Jackson if we put a bid on Green. Probably would have been better for their list management too.

Green, Taranto, Kelly, Congilio, Whitefield, Hoppper, Greene, Ward. This team should be pushing hard for a flag this season.

Any stand outs for us Werridee?

To be fair most teams get a free pass when they lose to the best team in the comp

Hoping Weid can dominate and hope Laurie can get some continuity of games after last year.

Thanks for the updates. Must say the app is getting worse and worse every year. No mention of this game anywhere that I can see, player profiles are not updated with the exception of new recruits and they've removed team stats or hidden them damn well. Player stats used to be easily navigated and had previous season averages but now only shows "recent matches." Anyway I digress, rant over. Go Casey.

Carlton Collingwood Geelong GWS Brisbane Hawks Freo Gold Coast

Always a fertile trading ground GWS and Bruhn should become a bloody good player. Still remember how shattered he looked when he got selected by GWS. I'm hoping down the track we can pick up Howes mate Callaghan. Probably too early for that thread though.

Premier: Melbourne Runner-up: GWS Wooden spoon: Weagles Moving up: Carlton (Sadly) Set to fall: Geelong (Hopefully) Brownlow Medal: Bontempelli Coleman Medal: Harry McKay NAB AFL Rising Star: Daicos Best new Demon: Howes Demon All Australian: Lever, Petracca, Oliver, Salem (Jackson to have more time in the ruck and lower Gawns chances) Demon B&F: Oliver Big call: Chris Scott to walk away from the game at the end of the season after Cats fail to make the 8. Ladder prediction: 1. Brisbane 2. Melbourne 3. Western Bulldogs 4. GWS 5. Sydney 6. Freemantle 7. Carlton 8. Port Adelaide 9. Ninthmond

GWS definitely a threat this year. Perhaps not this year but Freo are going about building their list quite nicely as well, one to watch in the next 2-3 years.

Perhaps I should re-phrase the question. Which team is at the bottom of your list of least preferred to win?

If not us, then.. 1. Who do you think will win the flag? 2. Who would you like to see win the flag? With the season just around the corner I thought this topic might be an interesting discussion point. Of course all of our desires would be to see us go back to back and hold up that cup for the 14th time at the rightful heartland of our great club and game. Having said that, I am interested to see where peoples thoughts are should we not be featured in the Grand Final. I personally think Brisbane will be the one most likely (watch them fall off a cliff this year now), while I have a soft spot for St Kilda due to many of mates being long suffering supporters, something we can all relate to, and would prefer them over any other team to win.

Smart person no doubt

Still don't understand why we pulled Weideman out at half time in the ressies to give him 10minutes in the last quarter. Not exactly setting him up to succeed with that game prep
