A.F.L. Thread II

[Jono]

Heppell and Lewis polled bugger all.

Cotchin, Danger and Fyfe still polling beasts.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Lewis seemed to be really overhyped as a Brownlow chance. Super consistent, but didn't think that he was regularly the clear best player for the Hawks.

 

[Burgey]

Having failed to secure tickets for the GF, I've decided to take the kidlets to the SCG and watch the game on the big screen there. Should be decent atmosphere.

My Norm Smith wagers:

$10 on Ted Richards @ $101
$20 on Kurt Tippet @ $21
$20 on Joshy Gibson @ $34
$10 on Brian Lake @ $51

 

[Redbacks]

Swans sound cooked

 

[Jono]

Lol Swans. So good.

 

[social]

That was embarrassing

Hawks obviously too good but the Swans were absolutely atrocious

 

[Burgey]

Yep, the Swans just didn't bring it at all, unusually. Well done Hawthorn though. A terrific side and worthy Premiers.

 

[Jono]

Bondi billionaires don't matter when the ball doesn't get in there. Sydney midfield did not show up other than Kennedy. Incredible really.

 

[Burgey]

Jono channeling Eddie Maguire. Itstl

Have been wondering about this the last few hours after the comments Bruce made at the siren, who do you guys consider the side of the "modern era" (say, since 2004 or whatever. Last ten years), Geelong or Hawthorn? Collingwood, Swans and even St Kilda threatened, obviously not enough though.

Thought it was an interesting enough question.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Hurts but after this year, in the post-Swans/Eagles time, Hawthorn the best of the era.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Personally I still think it's Geelong ftr, but I don't live footy like I did in 06-10 so it could just be biases from the way I followed the game.

 

[Jono]

Really depends how much value you put on back-to-back. Its almost a dead heat, but whilst the Hawks went back-to-back and the Cats never did, you can argue that the Cats never missed finals since the end of the Swans/Eagles era, whereas the Hawks did in 2009.

 

[morgieb]

That was bad.

Kudos to the Hawks though, they played great.

 

[uvelocity]

you could argue that afl sucks and who gives a fcuk

 

[Jono]

VFL Grand Final had greater attendance than the NRL semi-final fella.

 

[Burgey]

VFL Grand Final had greater attendance than the NRL semi-final fella.

Personally don't see how that means you can't argue the point uve is trying to make (not that I agree with it).

 

[Jono]

Burgey hates AFL now that the Swans suck balls again.

 

[Burgey]

Not content with a single straw man, Jono begins building a battalion.
