A.F.L. Thread II

[pasag]

Would like to think of something clever to say, but can't

Nothing out of the ordinary there.

 

[Matt79]

Ooh, that was as biting as Marc Murphy's ball movement today.

 

[pasag]

An ode to Collingwood fans.

 

[pasag]

Banter aside, I genuinely despise you Matt.

 

[Mr Casson]

Anyone else bored of this round of footy?

I think maybe it's just the wrong games being telecast, but on the whole it's been pretty disappointing so far.

 

[Matt79]

Watching Geelong, I wasn't bored, I was awed. Was going to come on here after the end of today's match and be bullish about us going out and smashing the Cats next week given our form over the past month, but Geelong are still very much the class of the field IMO.

 

[benchmark00]

False modesty - it doesn't suit Collingwood fans.

 

[Matt79]

Nah, when have we beaten them in September in recent memory? They give me the heeby-jeebies...

 

[pasag]

Other things that don't suit Collingwood fans:

- Full set of teeth
- Employment
- Clean criminal records

Dustin Martin is made for AFL football.

****ing gun.

 

[Jono]

Come on boys, one more quarter. You can do this.

 

[Jono]

It's hailing at the MCG!

And Richmond are gonna win!

**** YEAH

 

[Jono]

Did Dustin Martin just drop the F bomb in that interview?

 

[pasag]

Carlton and Sydney are pretty safe in the 8 because of the % gap, although Carlton could conceivably lose all their last four games on current form, Essendon and Richmond certainly aren't forgone conclusions.

Benchmark00 brings you another edition of 'vintage football moments'.

This weeks instalment takes you back to 1993, before the stretcher rule and before the soft hip and shoulder interpretation.

[Jono]

Yeah well played.

Do you reckon Wallis would have got weeks if that occurred today? Or did he avoid the head?

Also, how funny is it to see the centre bounce be the Channel 7 logo.

I'm sure that'd exist today if there weren't three separate broadcasters.

 

[benchmark00]

I think he makes some connection with the head, purely because Hanna seems to be in alot of trouble and his head didn't hit the ground. Hard to tell though. Play on!

Amazing really, not just because he ticked every single one of the modern day MRP's boxes, but because the umpire didn't stop the game when play came gushing back the other way.

Great hit though.
