[Bird]

must admit I'm not a fan of the direction the game is taking at moment with the handball at all costs style...  itslike watchin a bunch of u10s playing hot potato...
bring back the kick.

I thought the 2017 season was about to start. Rehashing old news clearly acceptable for sports journos.

Lost Bird is NOT a journo..at least not as far as I am aware??...lol
No harm done. He pokes fun at everyone, but is harshest on his own mob first, and that approach cannot be faulted.
Harmless fun. All good.

All's fair with drug taking parasites I say specially when *everyone* knew they took it, but the "game" is more important.. asshats did donuts about it, yet look at the James' Junkies and how they got bolloxed... which they deserve

That's why its still news.



FWIW,
The Spoon - Us... apparently Dud Thomas is in our best 100 players.
First Coach to go - Hardwick by round 8
Second Coach - Buckley.

Top 4 for the Big Show - GWS Hawks Cats Swans
9th - Tigers

Biggest dissapointment - like last yr Norf Melb.
First Season Ending injury: Abblett - no Abblett no Cold Ghost so second last for them.

[Bird]

takin the tigers by 75 was genius!


Nathan Brown said on radio this morning theres $250,000 so far bet on tonights game... 230,000 of it on the tigers LMAO!

if Dud Thomas can get a game, our season is ****ed. Watching him, he has less clue than a polar bear would have on the field.

[ScarpsD40]

Man, everyone's come out of the woodwork in Melbourne for tonight's game.

The dogs are tryin to be too cute and fancy... they will get their arses handed to them if they don't start taking the duds serious

[Swannie]

Dogs will be fine just giving the pies hope before they start actually playing

[ScarpsD40]

Uh oh

Even being a pies fan, I did giggle watching that. They should have done a split screen with Eddie.

Cloke was always going to kick that goal. You'd back him everytime outside of 50.
It's the 20m out directly in front that go out of bounds.....


Speaking of goal kickers. Plugger back at the Swans as a kicking coach.
He looks slimmer and younger than when he played.

yea crazy change aint it.. but he is into greyhounds now, so is probably broke
he almost looks sick and drawn out to me.

[kylarama]

He's always had greyhounds, even when playing.  I know an ex St Kilda player through my wife who played with him. Plugger had coach Darrel Baldock convinced he was doing a 10km walk everyday with his dogs as exercise.







Never bother telling Doc that he had a walking machine for the dogs and he'd sit in a chair reading the form guide.

The Umpires did

Nice game by the cheetahs tonight

The Umpires did 

can anyone explain how the hawks dude in 3rd gave a free kick for out on full, when somehow he missed the ball with his foot and it miraculously went 40 mtrs behind him out on full - when he was facing and trying to kick forward wouldn't logic say it came off the foot of the stoner who was trying to kick towards his goal?
Looks like the druggos are going to get it easy this season with the draw and umpires... I guess the AFL feel they need all the help they can get..
