love freo being 0-3 haha total crabs.

 

[ash chaulk]

played footy yesterday and won

8.9- 57
5.14- 44

played off a Half back flank was awesome. Had like 20 kicks 20 handballs 2 hit outs 10 tackles and went for a couple of runs with a couple of bounces.

3rds grade is so good.

 

[pasag]

Yeah was an awesome mark.

edit: Looks better live though.

Plus you gotta put the match situation into context, and of course before that Laycock made a massive error (two of them), schoolboy crap which I thought was for sure going to cost Essendon, and then two seconds later McVeigh launches on Thornton's back

 

[ash chaulk]

haha did you guys see braun after he got his medal... lets have a F'n good year. Didnt even realise what he said until he got back to his team mates.

Was a sensational mark as was Mcveigh, started of the season on fire, he is one player who goes under the radar of opposition. But just watching the game again, the umpiring was farcial for the WHOLE match. I rekon Pasag and I would of done a better job even taking bias into account.

 

[Johnners]

That mark examplifies (sp?) why the new interpretation of "hands in the back" is ****. To my understanding,technically, that mark should've been a free to Thornton because he placed his hand on his back to steady himself. Thankfully the umpire didn't see it though.

In other news, going down to the wire at the SCG!

 

[Johnners]

****ing Swans. Really missed Charman today, Bolton did well to keep Brown to just 3 goals, and Hall was just to good for Merritt. Goodes was poor imo, stood off the back of the contests as usual. Adcock was great again, and i thought Brennan did a good job on O'Loughlin for all bar the last 10/15 minutes.

Move casually on to 0/6.


Changing my tip for this afternoon from Hawthorn to Kangaroos. Feel we can sneak home against a Hawthorn without Croad.

 

[ash chaulk]

leo barry's goal was aight

 

[alternative]

Carn the swans!!!

Simply the best. Everyone stood up in the last quarter to take it away from the lions, brilliant play from O'Loughlin and Goodes in the last quarter after being kept quiet for almost the entire match. Love it.

haha ouch!!!

I'm 3/7 (Melbourne currently being creamed, thought they had a slight chance, guess i was wrong)

Geelong are apparently being investigated by the AFL about their team selection. Nathan Ablett was selected a CHF on the final team sheet submitted to the media and to Melbourne, completed his warm up with the rest of the team before being taken out of the side and replaced with Joel Selwood.

Hope Geelong are docked 2 premiership points tbh, dirty cheats. First they kick Jeff White in the face then they cheat the team selection process.

Edit: ABC say that he went into the game with a calf complaint, and Geelong 'informed', rather than asked of Melbourne that they change the team after final 22 submission. Doesn't sound as bad as when C7 were talking about it at the start of the game.

 

[ash chaulk]

someones upset cos his team cant win

 

[cameeel]

Very upset. Words can't express how upset I am

 

[mikeW]

N Ablett injured in the warmup, reason why he didn't play.

 

[Linda]

One of the most dull derbys ever. Freo just ****ed everything up, playing so badly atm.

Just have got no idea how to tip, Carlton main source of frustration. Not sure if they even have a bandwagon.

 

[Jono]

Pretty fair effort considering how hard it is to tip, particularly in rivalry round. If Sydney had lost I would have thrown the biggest fit, because that was the one I was sure was a certainty.

Brisbane will be a ripping team in a few years, and I'm confident that they will make the 8 if Brown stays fit.

O'Keefe and Craig Bolton are two of the most underrated players in the league, honestly. They're so good.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Collingwood
Essendon
Port Adelaide
St. Kilda
West Coast
Sydney
Geelong
Hawthorn

6/8. Steady stuff considering I haven't a ****ing clue about anything to do with AFL whatsoever!

High scores were 7 to Faaip and Oz Fan. Hoggy crashed from 1st to 16th in a display of inadequacy not seen since last year's tipping comp.

Top 2 possies to interstater's is an event liable to get Pasag worked up over foreign interlopers tbh.....
