Joel Selwood won another high-tackle free kick with a trademark shrug that transformed an initially legal attempt from Ryan Burton into illegal contact. Selwood won 53 more high-tackle free kicks than any other player between 2014 and the opening round of this year.

We're going backwards faster than a bullet train.
Theres better skills in the U10's or dare I say it, the aFLw...
They cant kick 10mtrs to a team mate. its over their head, 20ft to the left/right etc...
They cant even hand ball 4ft and hit one of their own team.
I'm shocked they made it through the banner.
So next we get wiped by the Crows, Drugaddicts, Demons, cats, swans, THEN THE BYE THANK ****..
Then Feo, Wobblers, Port..
Out of those 8 games... can you see us being close to winning 1 of those??
I cam't... our only hope is against the Lions or St Kilda which are the following 2 rounds.

Former AFL coach Mark "Bomber" Thompson is expected to apply for bail when he fronts Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday afternoon on serious drug charges.
The 54-year-old is facing a raft of drug related offences including two counts of trafficking escstacy, one of trafficking methamphetmine (also known as ice) and posession of ecstasy and LSD.
Police confirmed the charges related to a search warrant which was executed at a Port Melbourne address on January 5.
Mr Thompson led Geelong to premierships in 2007 and 2009 but left the Cats in 2010 to join Essendon, the club he had once captained, as a senior assistant to James Hird.
He became embroiled in the supplements saga which led to 34 past and present Essendon players being suspended for the 2016 season.
Mr Thompson was fined $30,000 for his role in the scandal, one which had seen him replace a suspended Hird as coach in 2014 but later lose any interest in the sport.
He revealed last year the saga had made him "bitter and twisted" and contributed to the breakdown of his marriage.

how about the Suns in the reserves - Message to AFL... it isnt working
The Suns were smashed by the Lions 12.24.96 to 0.4.4, despite having four top-10 draft picks, and first-team regulars Peter Wright and Kade Kolodjashnij

Oh and it wasnt "rubbish" lol - anyone who watched the game would say that the winning team played really good TODAY.
So in an isolated sense your statement is untrue....but viewed from a summary perspective based on the last 5 years then yes the "rubbish" side did in fact fluke a win. All good sides are entitled to off days. Geelong have been consistent for 11 years now. Along with Hawks and Sydney they are in my mind one of the modern great teams.
I will take the win. Better than the tripe that has been served up since round 2.

Well who would have picked today's Lions win?Not only who - how.... 355 people somehow tipped 9 this week somehow in the footytips.com.au comp.
I still say results are being ... assisted. AFL needs the game in "markets" (I miss the days when it was just sport and teams not franchises)- eg: Qld to be strong (you could see 2 years ago Cold Ghost - no Abblet no club) - with neither team doing Shit.. same as with teams like Melbourne, etc... its only good business to keep everyone on a high..

just not sure if we will get the points against the bye or not :( I had us down for round 16 against the lions, but they will destroy us, same as saints...

Actually the beers were cheaper than most local pubs these days lol $9 bucks for a pint not sure what people pay in the outer for middies in plastic hahahah. Last week was the only game where we have sucked for the whole game I reckon. Trading Gibbs and loosing docherty in the pre season, and then Murphy has killed us, I'm enjoying watching Cripps play but the poor bloke can't carry a side for the season and Simpson can only do so much off half back for a bloke his age. There's definitely promise in some of the young guys at the club finally with Charlie Curnow, paddy Dow and Fischer all showing promise but they need a couple more A grade experienced players around them to help them develop. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't win another game for the year I just don't want to see another 100 point drubbing.

Rebrand them and relocate them to Tasmania.
As Rumpig said Gold Coast is mostly made up of people who move there with existing alliance to a code or team. The crowds will only ever be people coming to watch their team play the Suns or curious onlookers.
Tasmania on the other hand is begging for a team of their own. While not a massive market. You'd still get 25K plus every game, plus plenty of home grown talent to play.

EG: only 18 players on the books, so no spares or subs.
Johnno Brown hit the nail on the head last night.
But listening to an interview with the Suns president today, he see's a bright future... SNAFU... but they need more hand outs, more picks, more millions, and years to become relevant - its the Looooooonnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggg haul.

The Carlton board have sacked coaches over far better performances.
For their fans sake. I hope the players at least show a pulse in the 2nd half.

The fans that actually stuck around for the 2nd half even clapped them off the ground.

The AFL great was sacked by Triple M on Friday night before the first ball-up of the Geelong-Western Bulldogs thriller over an on-air comment in a discussion with St Kilda legend Leigh Montagna.
The comment was regarding a technique used by medical professionals, known as a ‘membrane sweep’, which Montagna’s wife Erinn underwent to induce labour. Hall insinuated the doctor acted in a sexually inappropriate way.
“It’s when the obstetrician just has a little feel and makes sure that you’re starting to dilate and puts a couple fingers up there and checks what’s going on,” Montagna told Triple M before Hall made his remark. “It’s a procedure they do before birth.”
Hall then responded by saying, “Joey was a bit disturbed because the doctor was a good looking rooster about 40 years of age and then he did the sweep with his fingers and licked his fingers afterwards. That’s disturbing stuff.”

but wtf is it with the umpires , 4 boundary runners and they can't keep up, and the field umpires ??? is there 2 or 4 they were all over the placeWelcome to last week. 4 is the normal ;) Its so it can be more confusing with 4 differing interpretations of every call and nobody can know what the **** is going on.
Quote
but where they should have been and they throw the ball up, wtf happened to bouncing the ball, ???Been a LONG time since you watch AFL eh?
Quote
if it goes straight up or goes off at an angle, that's part of the game.Not for the TV station overlords it isnt.. AFL doesnt run the game anymore. It has to be appealing to the all important TV audience..
Quote
When I was running upwards of 50 games a season there was no way you would throw the ball up unless the ground was just so muddy it was an impossibility Even on the AFL reserve panel we were told to never throw it up if we had half a chance of getting a good bounce.they actually ran out of umpires due to bad backs earlier this year, and had to bring in a bunch of numpties and chick ump's!
Quote
Today these umpires are getting too precious, I might hurt my back, I might strain my willy but I'll take the couple of $k fee for a game.Yep.. they'd be ****ed going back to the days when there was 1 umpire...
It has to be something to do with the construction of the ball that causes the Shit bounces.
Quote
And people wonder why I'm not very interested in Aussie rules footballThey are only interest in the "new" generation.. They arent clubs anymore -= they are "Markets...."
same as NRL, RU etc.... **** the core fans, the overlords just hope they will hang around.

Nothing more nothing less - its all to impress TV people so they pay more next time.
There are 3-4 too many teams now for how many top shelf players available. Nothing will change except the game will get worse and worse with more clubs becoming feeder clubs for the top clubs.. EG: Cold Ghost and Lynch and next will be May leaving.

After some cracking games this weekend, I listened to the last quarter of the Blues v GWS and what a disgrace! For majority of the quarter GWS had 17 then 16 players on the field and still increased their margin to over 100 points and held the Blues to 1 point.
I'm not one for sacking coaches after heavy defeats, but the players aren't playing for Bolten. He has to go.

Scum bag hit. The west coast fans kept cheering Brayshaw on when he re entered the game. What a bloody joke. If the west coast coach had a set of balls he would have made him sit out the rest of the game. Once upon a time the magpies fans were despised by most. Nowadays the west coast fans are so one eyed and parochial that they are now the biggest bunch of wankers ever to sit on a members seat. 10 weeks minimum and yep...lets introduce a send off rule for maggots like this. Some great games on the Saturday. Sundays footy was a joke.

Agree. They cheered him when he scored, like he won the grandfinal...
I'm shocked anyone shook his hand at the end of the game without knocking his teeth out.

If I whacked somebody like that on the street Id be before the courts. Its assault, end of story.
Im a Dockers supporter, and your right about Weagles supporters being as bad as Collingwood.
But I dont believe they would be cheering what Gaff did. It was off the ball, so Im not sure how many at the game actually saw it. Id like to believe we havent sunk to those depths yet. And if we have its time to give it all away.
Cheers Glen

The kid didnt punch himself in the face and stay down for 10 minutes with only 1 player in the vicinity... and the freo players didnt go after Gaff cause of his Shit hair cut ;) The cheering happened 20 minutes later in the next 1/4... plenty of time
Its strange, I've read there is no big screen at the ground, but then the commentators when it happened said the players and fans have now seen it on the big screen when they went straight for Gaff and the crowd started booing.. Im confused.

"Its strange, I've read there is no big screen at the ground",
There is 2x monster screens, one at each end behind the goals, with a pub/bar underneath. One is the biggest in the Southern hemisphere from memory.
Can't remember if they were playing replays of the action when I went.
The stadium is fantastic to watch footy at...…..just not so good to get transport home.

Brendon Goddard's career won't extend into the 2019 season, with the club telling the veteran that he won't be offered a new contract.
Goddard has been told by the club and is weighing up his options on whether he extends his career and plays for a third club next season.
It means that Goddard's farewell game will be on Friday night against Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Ova

I wonder if they have to join actors equity......
Anyways my Hawks take on Melbourne this week. Expected a belting from the tigers and they obliged. Reckon if Melbourne bring their smarts with them, like last week, the Hawks will be off for a break before 2019 season. I,d like to see a Richmond/Melbourne grand final. With Melbourne winning...just for their fans.

Yes I thought 1st week of the finals showed it's all about the young teams with only the Pies and Eagles making a really good fist of it and now the same again with the Pies and Giants. Interesting to see how all the youngies match up in the Prelims the following week but the Tiges still look to have one hand on the cup for mine with their ability to hurt you on the scoreboard.

Smacks forehead. I've just been reminded tickets will go on sale tomorrow so no doubt jammed lines and much wailing and beating of chests with an obvious sellout and all the disappointed with untapped demand and all that rationing with robocalls and subsequent scalping. When it called all be solved amicably with online seat auctioning during the week and freely transferable tickets if for some reason winning bidders can't get to the match at the last moment. No way genuine team fans, we'll all have to suffer the pathos of it and politicians weighing in over nasty scalpers trying to screw over fluffy kittens and poor little Johnny in tears with his guernsey on :'(
