not soon enough

nah it's the same one

I think that the aim of this game is to kick goals but at least we are scoring

and here they come.......

Gawn with two crucial mistakes due to tiredness... where is his relief

25 degrees with 60% relative humidity... who knows who will last but fitness is not exactly our strong point

After having 23 disposals up to the 25 minute mark of the second quarter, with almost twenty minutes gone in the third quarter Oliver for the Demons has only registered one more additional disposal, an effective handball.

Oliver.....one possession this quarter

a few upsets this round... perhaps we could add to them for the wild optimists a top 4 finish became more likely over the last 24 hours.

Casey Radio expert commentator criticizing the Casey gameplan and saying the team is going backwards. Sounds dismally familiar

Preuss misses from 30 after his second possession for the match

Did a bit of research on it last year. It is in fact a trade mission with various Australian companies and governments using the game and the lead up as marketing opportunities. In that sense fine but it has nothing to do with football and is a questionable use of around $2M of AFL money. And don't get me started on this being an away game for Port !!!

Didn't realise the Shanghai jolly is on this weekend. Apparently a few Saints players down with "food poisoning". Having eaten street food all over the world I have to laugh a little. Peter Gordon (chairman of the Billdogs) was asked why the AFL pumped money into this game and he admitted that he was lost as there was no business case to show that it delivered any benefit.

spoke too early DZ ?... just outmarked by a Werribee player who luckily missed on the siren

Casey looking sluggish... two more goals to Werribee and now twelve odd points up

amazing over reaction https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2019-afl-bans-richmond-cheer-squad-member-for-green-maggot-umpire-slur/news-story/b22e4161225bbdf77b9f007892039030 “The football field is the umpire’s place of work and it is seen that any abuse directed towards them or any on-field official is deemed as workplace bullying and will not be tolerated,’’ the memo said. The ban comes after the AFL sent Carlton a “please explain” afters is cheer squad called an umpire a “w***er”.

Casey Radio will be there.. great commentary team https://www.3ser.org.au/program.html?vfl-football-round-9-saturday

So who ended up as the travelling emergencies? thanks Wouldn't mind getting down to Werribee but it's a long way round the ring road etc

well for those who still believe in Santa Claus a Kangas win could be a good one for the MFC. Must say Brown is expert at playing for frees and I mean that in a technical way.

One has to ask sometimes if the AFL has it's match ticketing/promotions right. North home game tonight against a team that claims 100,000 members (perhaps 200,000 plus supporters) but there is barely half a stadium full (25,000). A team like North could make big money by promoting itself to the Tiges fans as a cheap way to see your team etc etc. Then again the cynic in me tells me that these membership numbers are perhaps flakey to say the least.

Has to be one of the most lacklustre rounds of football from a match up viewpoint. Hard to get excited about any of the matches but in keeping with the impossible dream the following results are probably in our interest. Richmond Collingwood Giants Geelong Lions v Hawks... draw Saints Carlton' Eagles

ah... a glitch of the system... I was quoting Razer but used his quote that was embedded in your post... I suppose I am now a purveyor of fake news !!

Have you considered Pastafarianism and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I am particularly enamoured with their theory that global warming is due to the reduction in the number of pirates plying our high seas.

T Boyd for Werribee = Tom Boyd but not "the" Tom Boyd

Is being flummoxed the equivalent of being in a state of flux?
