Andrew Wu ‏@wutube 1m

Twice Drew Petrie had a free kick in last 90 seconds and kicked to contest. Why? It's cost North another win #AFLNorthCrows


even Wu is firing some shots

 

[howardj]

[Riggins]

[Spikey]

Jared Petrenko said he had tears in his eyes after he kicked the match, Sanderson said he is still in a bit of shock.

[morgieb]

Where's Benchy?

 

[Prince EWS]

What a shame no-one else did.

Buddy Franklin. We all know he's a **** of a bloke, but is he a downhill skier? Have heard it said he is, while others blow loads over him despite him never being a week-in, week-out performer. I suspect the truth is somewhere in between. Of course, he's better than North.

Discuss.

 

[Riggins]

The replay is even better than live.

 

[Riggins]

Man. The bloke taking the 'touched play on mark' over the line without realising was a truly important behind.

 

[Furball]

No Richmond next week on ESPN either

Grand Final last year - without him Swans would have won by 5 goals. He brought Hawthorn back in the game with those crazy 3rd quarter goals.

Goal against Collingwood preliminary final 2011 - should have got them into a grand final barring Hawthorn's piss poor stoppage defence which allowed Ball to kick the winner.

People say he hasn't performed on the big stage consistently, that's fair. But he has done it. I wouldn't say he's a downhill skiier by any stretch.

"although rugby league's massive State of Origin ratings are included in NRL totals."

Yeah..... kind of an important disclaimer I'd say.

State of origin is brilliant - gets interest, viewers and the crowds. But no one gives a **** about the Paramatta Fish or the Leichhardt Oval ******s or whatever these random suburban teams that have Sheffield Shield crowds.
