A.F.L. Thread II

This is pathetic from the Dogs. Absolutely woeful.

It's taken a while but the Weagles are finally back!

The wheel is certainly turning. Bombers/Tigers/Eagles on the rise as the Dogs and Saints slip a little. Just that 5-10% makes such a difference between top and bottom.

Just got over the line in DT.

Haha well played Brumby. You deserved the victory considering how well your bench scored as well.

Franklin's last quarter absolutely killed me though. I was on top until that moment.

Cheers. Buddy's really hit his straps last couple of weeks. Class permanent, etc.

Swapping Curnow for Sheils probably won it for me tho. Scored 131 and Hibberd would've played if I'd hung on.

Jake King has kicked 17 goals this season. Incredible. More than Nick Riewoldt, Dawes, Betts and Tippett.

EDIT: Of course Richmond haven't had the bye yet, but that's still a crazy stat.

He and Nahas would be up there with the most improved players in the league this season. Come from absolutely nowhere (though King had a great finish to the season last year).

Also apparently Folau is looking a completely different player ever since being put up forward for Greater Western Sydney.

Good to hear. Was getting lost in the backline, but as a forward is being able to chase the ball, and adapting far better.

Norf has been so dire this year, that I think Benchy would actually be leading if he let the head rule the heart.

Jeez I hope Josh Fraser is back this week.

 

[Jono]

Why is that? DT related, or you want to see Fraser vs. Geelong?

 

[benchmark00]

Nah, sadly just DT related.

So unsure about Freo vs St Kilda this week.

Freo without Sandilands is not really Freo.

 

[Jono]

Be interested to see if Mundy gets as much ball as he's been getting this season without Sandi.

My friend attended a Leo Cussen (practical legal training educator) class this week and Stephen Jurica was her teacher.

WAFG!

 

[benchmark00]

A rare moment when Jurica actually got the ball.

Like a white tiger.
