Bombay Airconditioning

I think you are right actually. They beat the Bombers, Swans & Giants.

I don’t have time to double check tonight, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t, I remember posting about it on here during the finals. Who was it that you thought they defeated?

Case in point : Port Adelaide Finished 2nd at the end of home and away season. Only beat one other top 8 side all year and that was the Dogs in rd 23 by 2 points. Beat Geelong in their QF, had week 2 off then got the dates wrong for their prelim only arriving at the ground with 12 minutes to go in the last qtr.

Watching the morning news on channel 9 apparently Lumumba has released an “explosive dossier” with new claims against Gary Pert and Nathan Buckley. The story said Lumumba was meant to hand over the dossier when Collingwood did their internal review into racism (yet these new claims are about inappropriate comments made and the playing of a video but not racism related) but didn’t trust them to act appropriately with it. I can’t help but think why these claims weren’t raised earlier rather than the drip feed approach that seems to be happening…. Nothing on any AFL pages yet.

AFL announces record club memberships for this season, 1,043,604 fans have signed up.

Looking at the ladder now with regards to percentage, we are in such a strong position because both the Lions and Freo have played North & the Eagles.

Spargo repeat tackles.

2.2 against Footscray rd 1 1.0 against Suns rd 2 2.2 against Essendon rd 3 3.0 against Port rd 4 4.0 against GWS rd 5 2.2 against Richmond rd 6 1.1 against Hawthorn rd 7 Been serviceable for a mid sized forward in a team that has multiple fwd options and we’ve only really fired in the 3rd against GWS.

Players should be driving the tone early.

They’re fully aware of the challenge before them. The Saints will come hard early on, let’s not wait for the 3rd. Get it done early.

Would you happen to have the breakdown of many times we’ve played them at the G since then? We rolled them last year but that was at Marvel.

Us last week.

The results over the last few weeks show us that this competition can in no way sustain 20 teams, not now nor in next 15 - 20 years. I’m all for a team in Tasmania but a current club must be relocated, any potential incoming CEO MUST share this opinion for the good of the game.

I’m stuck on two lines of thought right now. Tigers 2018 preliminary loss. Barring major injuries were playing in another GF.

Regardless of the result, suddenly the Lions win over the Swans doesn’t seem as good.

What’s happening in Sydney, anyone watching? Can the Suns sustain this?

Did anyone catch Fagan’s response to Jack Riewoldt’s comments that the game should be postponed? Thanks

In 2020 he only had 10 goals kicked on him during the home & away season yet was overlooked for Harris Andrews in the AA team even though his numbers weren’t nearly as good as May’s. Brisbane were the buzz team at the time behind Richmond and we were playing some ordinary footy.

With the exception of GWS v Cats this week looks reasonably straight fwd, but as we know there’s been at least 2 big upsets each week.

I don’t think it would be a good idea to announce a preferred option this early in the season. Covid & or injury has and will continue to give Weideman chances to prove himself.

Their only real challenge so far this season was against the Cats and they failed. No doubt they’ll pump West Coast as they excel at thumping weaker opposition. Edit : they beat the Swans which was a decent win, but the cats had a few out and to me that loss spoke volumes.

For arguments sake Jackson signs a two year extension taking him to the end of the 2024 season, at the start of the 2025 season our list could be looking something like this. Note : players age in brackets at the start of the season. I think they’re right…. Rivers (23) ? Lever (28) Bowey (22) Petty (25) Salem (29) Langdon (29) Petracca (28) Brayshaw (28) Spargo (24) Weid (27) ANB (28) Fritsch (29) JVR (21) Pickett (23) Gawn (33) Oliver (27) Viney (30) BEDFORD (24) SPARROW (24) JORDAN (24) Harmes (29) Potentially retired : May (32) TMac (32) Brown (32). These three players alone free up a lot cap space. Without factoring in any future players that have been traded / drafted in, that is still a very competitive team. Our window is open for the next 5 years.

I tried it, it’s picking up my location. I’m about as tech savvy as a pile of stacked house bricks. Its $17 US for watchafl.com, looking attractive at this point.

How do members / fans overseas watch? Thanks.

I read your post re the Giants, they burnt me rd’s 1,2, 4 & 6. On top of that I haven’t tipped the Crows all year. Should of known better….
