A.F.L. Thread II

[BoyBrumby]

Lol. Quarter of an hour into 3rd quarter and Brisbane still only have 9 behinds.

When was the last time a team didn't score a six pointer?

 

[Jager]

Hawkins is looking very promising now, it's about time he filled his boots. 6 goals today, with 4 in the first half if I remember correctly. His contested marking is looking stronger than ever, plus he kicked very straight which is unusual for him!

 

[vic_orthdox]

The Tomahawk is a pretty imposing figure right now. Love the boy.

 

[alternative]

Oh yeh! Sydney!

 

[Burgey]

What a performance in the second half. Fantastic win.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Sort of performance that makes other teams take note, I'd say.

Buddy doing the "going missing when chips are down" thang again.

Yeah he was well held by The Barometer.

 

[morgieb]

If only Benchy weren't banned. He'd be tasting it so hard right now.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Other than Hawkins who has been amazing, Karmichael Hunt has to be one of the most improved players in the comp. He's been so good for the last 2-3 weeks.

 

[Johnners]

Is there a shorter team in the comp than the Tigers? Even half their KPP's are midgets in comparison to most.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Bad luck Tiges.

Sydney a serious threat by the looks of things, but it's dead set wide open. Reckon Weagles will finish Top 2 now though, hard to see them being beaten at home. Back to 2005-06 style, anyone in the top few can win.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

First half of the showdown was pretty entertaining. Best half of Dangerfield's career, absolute gun. Rodan was awesome too.

 

[Jono]

****ing so shattered. Two weeks in a row now just couldn't deliver in the dying minutes.

Eagles are Title Heavyweights

Kerr-ey back to his best

Geez, Ed really pulls in the big names

Some advertising guy last week, and this week Geoff Edelsten

i don't get why ablett is getting so much heat for what he said. It took courage.

Best thing about Twatter is getting the uncensored (ish) version of what players really think. Obvz history there and I don't think Gaz was out of order.

Although admittedly I didn't see the Freo game.

Is he getting that much heat? Mainly support from what I've heard. The old "wanna hear what the players really think" line and all that jazz.

 

[howardj]

Not the greatest weekend of fixtures coming up, aside from Swans v Crows

North and Eagles also worth a sneaky look

Other than that, she's pretty bare
