A.F.L. Thread II

[Craig]

Seemed like Sydney had NFI in final quarter v Brisbane. Likewise, Brisbane couldn't score a goal to save themselves. Should of gotten more then the two that they scored.

 

[Jono]

Hawks are rubbish. Even with their injuries they should be beating Essendon considering their backline woes.

 

[Craig]

So 2008 is just a fluke then?

 

[Jono]

A flag is never a fluke, but it was just a once-off. They haven't even come close to looking like they were in 2008. Maybe for one half in their match vs. Geelong this year, but that's it.

 

[Mr Casson]

Essendon set a season record for tackles tonight with 107, the first team to crack the century. The next best effort is Collingwood with 94. The Hawks have now lost the tackle count in all six games they've played, which tells you a lot about where they're at.

<3 nmfc.

 

[Jono]

Yeah good win. Were very good value as well.

Won 10 matches of footy in a season and a quarter since the 08 GF they were saying this morning on the SFS. I bet Franklin kicked 5 goals or more in each of those wins as well.

Loving Sydney this year. Much like some posters in CC with some players or teams - I'm now enjoying Sydney's success because Craig Hutchence was so strident in saying they had the worst list in the league and would be on the bottom this year. Bradshaw's been great for them - that torp he kicked was massive. McVeigh back in is a massive inclusion for them.

 

[Jono]

I hate being a Richmond supporter.

Half time in the delayed tv broadcast, and these guys:

are no longer my favourite Doors/Dawes.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Looking forward to Embley copping weeks for that. Gutless little sniper.

 

[pasag]

meh. Get pretty close a few times throughout the day, but they're obviously a class above at the moment. We'll make the 8 this year, the ****s will make the 4 though

Some big games next week - none bigger than the Swannehs down at Skilled Stadium. Should be huge.

 

[pasag]

God I hate you so much.

Anyways, Judd *could* be on 9 brownlow votes in his first three games back. 37 possies today, 18 contested.

 

[Matt79]

Tried to think "what's the most annoying thing I could post to rub this in?"

 

[Craig]

Off to the Freo game at the 'Gabba this Saturday night. For the first time in my life I will see Freo fans in human flesh

 

[Matt79]

All three of them.

Should also be a very good game.

 

[Craig]

All three of them.

Should also be a very good game.

Every time somebody from WA tells me they follow AFL and then they tell me they support West Coast, do this day I have never met a Fremantle fan. Either they secretly are one and tell me they support West Coast, or they are not sophisticated enough to leave Fremantle.
