AFL 2017 - NO DAN

[ossie_21]

Season starts next week, thought there would have been a thread earlier.

Can the Crows mids back up their elite forward line to challenge for the flag?
Will the Lions surprise a few teams?
Will the Blues shock everyone by finishing 17th or higher?
How long until the Magpies sack Buckley?
Will the injection of the returning stars mean Essendon compete better for longer?
Will sniffles Bennell actually play a game of the football?
Any chance of Dangerfield carrying the team for 2 years in a row to go one or two better?
Will the Suns finally crack the top 8?
Can anyone stop the AFL love child?
Is this the year the Hawks finally slide?
After years of rabble, will Melbourne challenge for finals?
Will anyone care about Norf?
Can Port rediscover their form or is Hinkley a dead man walking?
Will Richmond be able to focus on the game or the media?
Can the Saints keep their end of 2016 form going into this season?
Will Sydney bounce back from disappointment & finish top 4 yet again?
Will West Coast's usual home dominance & recruit of Mitchell be enough to get one last crack, or will the window shut?
Will the Bulldogs go bark to bark?

Predictions:

Premiers - Sydney
Runner-up - GWS
Smokey - Adelaide
Wooden Spoon - Carlton
Brownlow - Bontempelli
Coleman - Franklin
Biggest improver - Gold Coast
Biggest slider - #lolnorf
First coach sacked - Hardwick

[Gr3mlin]

Crows will choke again this year
I don't see Lions surprising anyone
Blues will do ok I think, nothing special
Buckley gone at the end of the year when they don't make finals (most tip him not to even make that, but I think he is too much of a fav in Collingwood to be cut halfway through)
Essendon I think will tilt towards final, but just not make it.
lolBennell
Dangerfield is a freak, so I think he and Selwood can carry that team again.
Suns just make finals but who knows. I think 7th and 8th will be fought over for a good few rounds.
No
Yes
lolNorth
Port is the child of the family that you think has a disability but can't figure out for sure.
Richmond to choke again
Saints the team to watch this year in my books
Yes as long as Franklin keeps firing
I see another crack from WCE, but it will only last another season or two before rebuild
Yes

I think GWS will take it out this year and they know it's their time to shine considering their roster.

[ossie_21]

Added who people think will be first coach sacked, anyone other than Buckley/Hinkley/Hardwick will be a surprise

[Skitzo]

Will the Umpires tighten up on the Western Bulldogs "disposals"?

[summoner]

Go the suns!

[ossie_21]

Will the Umpires tighten up on the Western Bulldogs "disposals"?

Yes, let the salt flow :)

[Torquen]

Predictions:
Premiers - GWS
Runner-up - Sydney
Smokey - Melbourne
Wooden Spoon - Brisbane
Brownlow - Fyfe
Coleman - Tom Lynch (the good GC one, not the shitcun Crows one)
Biggest Improver - Gold Coast
Biggest slider - Norf/Hawks
First coach sacked - Hardwick
Most retarded posts in this thread - DanWA
Rising Star: Tom Phillips (Collingwood - just quietly he's $36 on SportsBet which is great value)

Other random shit;
Carlton will be bad still (and water's wet ;) )
West Coast will be good but not quite good enough
Freo to push for the eight again
Port/Pies to still be shite

[Adr3naL1N]

heading over the Melbourne Friday to the GP so also taking advantage of round 1. Heading to the Friday night game at the G. Dogs vs Pies. Going to be huge! Round 1 with the reigning premiers vs the the most hated but most followed club in the AFL. will be 70,000 plus, atmosphere will be great!

[Lmx]

Are there any good streams for this season??

I'm also doing both of these things!. Will be a good weekend

[cactus]

Can you chromecast the AFL live app?

[The_Senator]

It's only a maximum of 5.5" in size - even on iPads etc.

It's Telstra's way of making sure more people FOXTEL it..

[summoner]

Foxtel coverage for sport is mint and not just AFL but all other sports..

But i love getting my winter sports fix too like live down hill skiing/ski jumping/etc.

If Foxtel could do a sports only package or have an ala carte menu where you can select channels rather than being forced to have all the base channels (which I have little interest in other than lifestyle channel.. gimme date bargain hunt!) it would probably net them more customers.

[The_Senator]

I agree, I would totally do a Sports Package - however as it also has to come with base channels - for a fee - then I'm not interested.

Sign up for a Crownbet account and you can watch every game live for free on your phone. You don't even have to deposit anything.

[Lmx]

Oh, so its the same as last year. Awesome, however it used to be nice streaming on justin.tv a few seasons ago

[Bomber]

Jobe for PM lol

[SSICK]

Anyone else's AFL app a piece of shit? Doesn't load current games.

[huggy_b]

Yeah it's struggling - no stats etc. They better sort their shit out.

[Macca]

Mine is working fine

[ossie_21]

It works ok for me but sometimes takes ages to refresh properly. The new layout is shit, much preferred the last version.

This round has shown teams with a lot of attacking flair & intent. Suddenly, Fremantle. 2 goals in 15 minutes, one from each team. Way to adapt the game plan Ross lol

[DanWA]

lol @ freo

good wins by the power, doggies, eagles and as much as i hate to say it.... the drug cheats had a good win

[DanWA]

Owen is back!!

http://i68.tinypic.com/wkrdq8.jpg

[The_Senator]

I bet no one saw GWS on the bottom of the ladder after round 1.. Adelaide made a meal of them.

A few "upset" results, but it's great for the competition.

I don't think Petrie will play another game for West Coast, by the time he is recovered Lycett should be also good to go. Giles, Vardy, Lycett.

[DanWA]

Well documented how much i hate the COLA Bloods. But they absolutely got raped while dry tonight. Doggies got carried to a flag last season and it is extremely sad that it is ongoing this season.

Surely the armchair ride has to end at some point

I keep thinking that about the Eagles getting the rub of the green at home games but after 20 odd years, that probably won't stop. Bulldogs are just better disciplined & considering we always have the ball & use it more than the opposition, it's not surprising. Last night was just over umpires, nearly 50 free kicks in one game is stupid

The Doggies umpire love is very questionable especially after last season... either way i loved your linked pic haha will come in handy through the season

Dockers supporters are raging that Potato Tabener and Suban are both in the team again

[MadDocker]

Jenkins clash looked pretty nasty. Few decent hits like that so far. The knee to the hip would of hurt like a bitch. Decent game to watch so far though.

The irony of a Doggies supporter talking about umpiring when they got a flag off the back of bad umpiring

[DanWA]

2016 Free kick differential (avg)
4.3 Western Bulldogs
3.1 North Melbourne
1.8 Collingwood
1.5 Essendon
1.4 Adelaide
1.0 West Coast
0.6 Hawthorn
0.5 Carlton
-0.6 Fremantle
-0.8 Richmond
-1.0 Brisbane
-1.1 St Kilda
-1.3 Melbourne
-1.4 Gold Coast
-1.7 Geelong
-1.9 Sydney
-2.2 GWS
-2.6 Port Adelaide

Hopefully Port get a rub of the green today

[DanWA]

Freo getting smashed while winning the free kick count just like last week... Juicey!

#lolnorf good come back and win by Geelong!

[huggy_b]

We didn't help ourselves by kicking poorly and I'm sure everyone will say I'm biased but we (Saints) got fucking mauled by the umpires last night, it was a disgrace.

[Torquen]

We didn't help ourselves by kicking poorly and I'm sure everyone will say I'm biased but we (Saints) got fucking mauled by the umpires last night, it was a disgrace.

Umpiring was farcical in the WC v Saints game. WC still would have won (Saints ran out of legs) but fuck me, there was some stinking calls/non-calls.

[The_Senator]

Eagles where Farcical for 3/4s too. Little to no pressure, poor execution of skills and MANY brain fades. Saints came to play, and we clearly did not, and we did not cope well with the Saints pressure and man on man defence.

Backline has some work to do, we're leaking too many scores and our kick-ins are woeful. Saints could have sealed it at 1/2 time if they kicked straight.

The 2 Adelaide teams look really good - lets see if they can keep it up.

[summoner]

So do we have an antilag footy tipping comp going?
I tip on espn tipping and sportsbets tipping at the moment. I'm generally not that good as I just pick who I like and don't take a very scientific/educated approach to it.

Did manage 7 this week with 1 of my losses being that I chose GCFC... a given they'd lose but I got to back my team.

[Skitzo]

I'd hate to be a defender this year.

[Tocchi]

Just afl tipping for me. 8/9 this week. Had to tip freo naturally

[ossie_21]

Another "calf tear" for Bennell, what a disaster

[The_Senator]

But it's only going to take "7-10 days to repair"

[DanWA]

wow @ COLA Bloods Owen Three

Most definitely did not see that coming

[ossie_21]

Umpires

[DanWA]

Umpires

They were horrid both ways really but COLA Bloods had it their way for 95% of it numbers wise

The amount of "dropping the ball", "incorrect disposal" and throws was amazing

[Macca]

Eagles won the free kick count and lost

[siladee]

But the rain was biased. It was targeting the eagles players...

[DanWA]

Dockers got their first flag in the bag (22 years in) with a win at home via the umpires

Crows get handed another showdown from the umpires

Could Fyfe be off to the Crows?

[ossie_21]

Freo were always gonna come out with a reaction after last week, Dogs were flat all night & never recovered from the first quarter. Freo did to us what we did to West Coast, absolute ambush that leaves you shell shocked

Saves Lyon's job, everyone win except Freo in the long run

14 free kicks each.....very low considering the style of game

Better news....>Crows win

Nail on the head

Want Freo to give him another 5 years now, that would be icing on the cake

[DanWA]

Better news....>Crows win

It was Sloane vs Port really, he is starting to step out from behind Dangerfield finally, good win

[Gr3mlin]

Was pretty disappointed with the loss to Richmond.

Though that disappeared when I noticed we weren't the ones getting fingered by Gold Coast :D

[DanWA]

And how good was Carltank beating the drug cheats!

[HotAe92]

I was genuinely surprised Freo managed to hold onto the win after the surge in the 3rd and 4th by the Dogs. Some classic Freo Shocker's moments - poor kicking accuracy (usually way short of the player), kicking to 2 on 1's, handballing the pill to a player who was hot.

That said, there were certainly impressive spurts. If only they could string them together.

[Torquen]

Suck a dick Essendon! :D

Marc Murphy look like a good footballer again. Amazing what a difference he makes when he's in form.

[Adr3naL1N]

freo is the dogs bogey team

lost to them in the last round last year as well

[adrenalin]

Sydney always start out slow.

Not even remotely worried at this point.

Likely to turn it on against west choke.

[MadDocker]

Some very unexpected results and some good games so far this season. Good for the competition.

Last year you lost a total of 5 games. Distinct possibility that you are going to be 0-4. So you reckon you can run 17-1 for the rest of the season? Remembering west coast were 6th last year with 16 wins, so you need 17 to make the 4.

Brendon

[Skitzo]

Take a look at Sydneys ins and outs over the last 3 weeks. Tells the story.

Against Collingwood they had 6 players with 3 or less games experience. Another with 10 and add Sinclair who is a spud. Still won 3 quarters of football.

No need for panic stations yet. Good chance they'll go 0-5 but that doesn't mean bottom half of the 8 isn't doable.

Worth noting Bulldogs lose when the umps start calling them for throws.

Bingo.


Barring some major injuries swans will make the 8.

Also never said we were going to have same record as last season.

All about hitting finals form at right time.

[ossie_21]

Stay salty.

We lost because we didn't play well as a team. Maybe one free kick against was for a throw? Hardly a deciding factor lol

[Skitzo]

Think there was at least 3. Which then makes them realise they aren't getting away with it and it impacts their disposal going forward. Couldn't get the ball out to free runners legitimately. Plays a factor.

[Torquen]

All the salt.

[The_Senator]

Bennell now said to be out for 8-10 weeks with a calf injury after scans showed significantly more damage.

So much for the 7-10 days Freo first stated....

[dmanvan]

...:eek:

[MadDocker]

Pretty much lost hope of him playing for the Dockers. Shame because he's great when he's on.

[The_Senator]

I thought exactly the same thing this morning. Pretty soon Fremantle are going to call Enough and de-list.

Explosive player, just cursed with bad calves.

[MadDocker]

Think they'll persist for a while. Can't remember how long his contract his but I'm sure they'll at least play that out and see if they can get him on the park. Calves must be truly rooted to not even be able to train properly without tearing one every time he returns to the main group. Crazy German Dr couldn't even fix him...

[Tocchi]

haha yep! at least the cola bloods have players to come back to!

[Tocchi]

[summoner]

I tipped the Hawks at the G (against eagles) this week.

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/511/991/3a5.jpg

But I still won't back the Hawks.

[Adr3naL1N]

Im an eagles fan and at the moment im tipping the hawks (may change it). It will be typical eagles to rock up and play all derp and lose another away game (specially one against the hawks at the G) in a game the probably should win to justify themselves as contenders. They will find some way to fuck it up like they did against Richmond and a bucket ton of other away games.

I hope I do end up eating those words but

[ossie_21]

Injury curse still hanging around from last season, hoping to be sitting at least 6-4 heading into the bye which is when the majority of our big outs will likely be back. Hawks aren't sliding, they have just crashed. I tipped them just sneaking into finals but I doubt they will even make it. Sydney will still bounce back, it's a marathon & not a sprint but try telling that to the April premiers Richmond...

Any Crows fans here? I picked them for top 4 but right now they are looking good for top 2, if they get that they have a great chance of winning it all. Adelaide Oval is a fortress again for them, if they keep getting kissed on the dick with injuries I'd be more worried about them than GWS

[MadDocker]

Crows are looking super dangerous this year. Can definitely give it a shake on current form.

[DanWA]

Hate the Crows and their smug supporters but as above they are looking super dangerous this year especially with Sloane out from behind Dangerfield's shadow

Also as above, think the Eagles will choke at the MCG yet again but at the same time hope they don't

Season 22 for the Dockers still not looking like a flag in sight, how good is McCarthy's dirty as fuck Mo though!

[summoner]

Tipped my Suns to beat the Crows... I know they're going to get flogged but I'm hoping for a home ground miracle *shrugs*

[Passage GT]

Unless there's some serious form change the crows and cats as top 2 would be a pretty safe bet, nobody else has been super convincing, tigers won't even make the top four, they'll slide like they do every year.
Eagles have some serious mental issues with the G, even playing as they are they should easily account for the hawks, at pretty much any other ground...They've got the personell, just need some consistency and to kick straight, getting over these sloppy games, not nice to watch!

[Missile]

Unless there's some serious form change the crows and cats as top 2 would be a pretty safe bet, nobody else has been super convincing, tigers won't even make the top four, they'll slide like they do every year.

Jury still out on Cats on whether they are or aren't the real deal (top 4)
R1 beat Freo by 42pts - lets face it Freo were easy beats
R2 beat Nrth by 1pt - losing all game then came through at the very end. Kicked 5 of the last 6 goals to get the chocolates
R3 beat Melb by 29pts - pretty even until cats kicked 8 of the last 9 goals
R4 beat Haw by 900odd pts - Hawks were an embarrassment
Good teams find a way to win and Geelong are doing this at the moment. I just dont think they have been as convincing as the Adelaide / GWS wins.

[cactus]

Yeah definitely not convinced by Cats - lucky not to be 2-2.

Hawks will knock Eagles off this weekend and I will cry myself to sleep Sunday night.

[Torquen]

Hate the Crows and their smug supporters

Season 22 for the Dockers still not looking like a flag in sight

Says he hates smug supporters and is smug in the same breath...

7 from 7 so far ;)

[The_Senator]

I think Simpsons needs to take the big fat red marker, and start ruling lines through players that are passengers week in and out.

The derby this weekend is going to be interesting, to say the least.

[Adr3naL1N]

As I said above, I was right, they found a way to fuck up a game that should of been easily winnable, how can you play so well at home and just be so shit away, especially with games at MCG and also hawthorn, they were thumped by gold coast!!

there is some serious mental issues here I think and also there are some players who just cant cut it, the premiership window I think is gone with this group, invest in some of the young talent get them experience early!

rid the passengers, the ones who can play well at home when the team is playing well but don't lift the team up on the road games and just fuck it all up. Players like josh hill, redden, jetta, darling, wellingham, cripps, masten hutchings, le cras, schofield (thinks its time to try McKenzie again) and so on.

Whats going on with barrass, all his talent must of been in his hair soon as he snipped it at the end of last year his gone to shit. That play when the ball was rolling towards the hawthorn goal line and he had the attempts to knock it over and missed 3 times in a row for the hawks player to run in and soccer it through for a goal was embarrassing. Masten made a lot of fuck up too, literally in one passage it was like h was playing for hawthorn, turned it over in the middle with a shit kick followed it into the hawks forward line then just gave away a free kick on a sloppy tackle resulting In a goal, its just so frustrating to watch.

You could see it in Gaff at half time he was pissed off, he put it very simple and was correct their fumbles and skill errors were costing the, and its true. He had every right to be pissed he is one of the few week in and week out who keeps us going. Mitchell and natanui aren't going to save us.

[HotAe92]

the premiership window I think is gone with this group

Settle down...

It was a particularly embarrassing game, but it's only Round 5. As you say, it's time for Simpson to remove a few passengers.

The stage has been set for a cracking Derby.

[MadDocker]

Would of been good for both sides to go in without this weeks injuries and see were we're at. Hill has been our best midfielder this year so far IMO and obviously Cripps, Nelson are big outs for you turds. (Mitchell too but from last week or whenever.)

Hopefully a good game.

[DanWA]

Derbies are always good games regardless how shit either team is going

Can sense Shemantle winning, but hoping Eagles take hold of the can only win at home mantra and get it done

It just isn't going to be the same yelling at the tv for someone to hit Ballantyne

Team lists out tomorrow? Keen to see Suban and Dawson back for lulz

[Tocchi]

9/9 for tipping :D last week was 8/9 so going strong.

Anybody else on Afl.com.au tipping ?

[MadDocker]

I didn't bother with a tipping comp this year as I'm away for a bunch of the season but have been helping the Mrs and she's winning her work one currently. Think there's $1000 for first place so hopefully can keep it going.

So ahhhh tips for this week to do some betting?

We were meant to do a work comp and nothing happened there. Haven't really followed it either but there's been some crazy winning margins with some teams.

[Torquen]

I've been going horribly this season in tipping. 29 for the year thus far.
Haven't tipped Collingwood correct yet and I reckon I've only picked Sydney, West Coast and Freo correct once each.

Must be something about the roos.. Bad umpire call in the final quarter potentially cost the suns reeling them back in as they had the momentum before the call and completely lost it after :(

But I'm naturally biased as the suns are my team

Personally, from the start have always believe he will field offers and Dockers will match it at all cost

He isn't going anywhere, he is destined to be the next Pav (which is actually a good idea if he becomes a forward to!)

[DISTRBD]

LOL @ COLA Bloods

LOL even Carlton have 2 wins on the board , we can still make the finals

[summoner]

Really give you the shits supporting them?

Pretty much.. play well and then throw it away..

:(

[Macca]

i am confused at who to pick tipping this week

Sydney vs Brisbane.

Somehow still managed 7 this week. have had 25 in the last 3 rounds

[adrenalin]

We have no excuses at all left now.

Longmire was gifted a team that was a premiership contender. Now that people have retired \ moved on etc he is being more and more exposed.


Losing to Carlton was a god dam joke.


If we make the 8 i will be utterly amazed.

[Bomber]

Holy fuck!
North Vs Adelaide. Wooowweeee© Brian Taylor

[ossie_21]

Power with a big choke, getting back to their level

[DanWA]

Shitlaide lose and Rory was MIA (very strange)

Eagles lose the free kick count and win OMFG

And another curve ball for everyone, i am going for Freo tomorrow... FUCK THE DRUG CHEATS!

[Bomber]

One from six in the tipping comps. Lol

[Macca]

4/6

[Trolley]

Dockers game was an ugly win. Don't know how it looked on TV but god damn it was shithouse to watch at the ground.

[Torquen]

Second half was good viewing, first half was ugly footy. Dockers last quarter was very entertaining, showed signs.

Ended up with 4/9 tips :p

[Bomber]

R.I.P Lou Richards

[Passage GT]

horrid start to tipping but ended up with 5, went both the local sides and they came through thankfully, eagles were very lucky!

[DanWA]

2 weeks in a row losing the free kick count but winning the game

To lose the free kick count at Subiaco and beat the #freekickbulldogs was just epic though, even as shit as the Eagles played

Brokeback Bevo be maddddddddddd

Poor umpiring gave you two goals that ended up being pretty important. Apart from that, no factor.

Eagles should have won by a lot more considering we had 6 best 22 players out, pretty concerning to be an eagles fan if they want to make an impact in finals

What is more concerning is how shit Tom Boyd is for 1 mil a season (9 disposals 0 marks)

Liber is totally different now he is off the gear to?

We played absolutely ratshit with players also missing

I like many was surprised that the Eagles didn't get spoonfed by the umpires, that is totally against the Subiaco stereotype

Funny how only opposition supporters care about Boyd's contract hahahahahah. He's a 21yo developing key forward having to play full time ruck due to injuries, he's tracking along fine.

Libba & Picken haven't been the same since their concussions

[xr6tego]

I wish people would stop sooking about how well their team should of gone if their best 22 were playing.

Well their best 22 were playing and their team lost. Dry the eyes and look forward to next week.

This comment highlights your shit knowledge of the game.

Boyd is a better, bigger, more mobile younger version of Tom Hawkins ( who is still getting better also ) but your stupid short sightedness or simpleton attitude towards the game limits your comments to that of a mongaloid.

He's worth every cent just for the fact that you wouldn't want to have to match someone up in him if he was in the opposing team.

Shut the fuck up.

Was a bit of a shock seeing the final scores, didn't see that coming.

Yeah bombed shit out out of my multi....

And Boyd is 21 - he's had 3 years as an AFL player. To put that in context for you, Kennedy debuted in 2006 but wasn't a consistent productive forward until around 2013 @ 24/25 years of age. As a long term investment the Dogs have got a bargain if he delivers on his potential.

According to stats it was his 2nd season at the Eagles (2009 2 goals a game average)/4th season in the AFL that he started kicking bags, he wasn't on a mil either. While he is on a mil and producing 9 disposal 0 mark games people will comment much like Nic Nat is in the firing line when he has a stinker, except Boyd's are consistent stinkers

So Boyd's 4th year next year he should start improving? I'll happily eat my words then. It could also be the case of his is at the wrong club with the wrong game style being pushed as many guns have become jewels when changing clubs

[ossie_21]

Still can't find anything wrong with the deal tbh

He kicked 31 goals in 2009 - hardly awesome.
He was a good 6 seasons or more before he was a consistent​ forward.

And Nic Nat is a good example. He was sheltered early and was great for a quarter then went missing for the other 3. He's actually pretty old now in AFL terms, pretty sure he's 27 or 28 so look how long it's taken him to become consistent! Big guys just take longer.....

[DanWA]

31 is hardly awesome? 31 would be a KPF for Freo...

If 1mil a year Tom Boyd even got near 31 we would never hear the end of it from Bulldogs supporters

[Torquen]

Boyd won a grand final off his own boot. That in itself, is worth a mil a year for 9 years!

[Macca]

Flat track bullies are getting smashed

[2jzlux]

hahaha
Beaten by drug cheats, now they know how every other team felt in 2006.

[masTers]

Simmo needs to go, or he needs someone else in charge of strategy that has never had anything to do with North Melbourne.

[DanWA]

Didn't watch the game but heard some of it on the radio. Does suck losing to the drug cheats. Good to see Macca up and about again after Shitlaide had an outing against the Lions

Was there a club systematically doping their team in 2006 2jzlux? You should report to ASADA get that looked into!

[Greg Rust]

Essendon!!

[ossie_21]

It is strange there's no clear flag favorite after 9 rounds. Adelaide was the benchmark early, GWS being very lucky but both showing they are beatable. The rest is a lottery, like last year anyone in the top 8 can win it all. It isn't as clear cut as it used to be that someone would win it from top 4.

[DanWA]

All i can reflect on the Dockers game is "a win is a win"

Umpires behind them yet again with lots of scrappy footy, but some flashes of brilliance

Both W.A teams pretty average this year

[Macca]

Thought the umpires were fairly neutral. After 1st half the dockers played alot better and we're more hungry. 24-21 is fairly good for a Home game.

Let's face it look through history, generally home team will always win free kick count....... Unless getting pumped

[Fukushima]

Free kick counts are such bullshit. An incorrect free in the goal square doesn't count the same as the middle of the ground soft free kicks given in the fourth quarter to "even up the count"

Honestly hoped DanWA​ would have more to say about the Essendon game

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

[DanWA]

+1 free kick counts are bullshit, can you please explain that to Dockers supporters though

Not really much more to say, didn't show up and flogged is an understatement

[rodent]

At least we only get flogged on the road

[Trolley]

What irks me is the media/commentators who are sinking the boot into West Coast. Sure it's disappointing but there have been so many upsets and unexpected results already this year and no-one says a thing about Victorian teams travelling interstate and barely winning.

[DanWA]

They deserve the bad wrap in the media

Just changing the subject for a bit before Fyfe leaves and Rossy has to play a top team

[MadDocker]

Good season of footy, really open for someone to have a run at it. Be interesting to see how it all shapes up towards the end of the year when the strong teams are building and the sides scraping through at the moment fall away.

How would you like being a Tigers fan over the last few weeks? Rough as.

The icing on the cake would be for them to finish 9th

The couple of Tigers supporting friends i had, have turn coated to Freo... dunno if the pain will be much less for them

[Torquen]

As a Carlton supporter, the umpiring wasn't bad yesterday. Couple poor decision late in the game against us but the result was well and truly sealed by then.

As much as I hate "celebrating" a loss, there's a lot to like about Carlton. Think we're building in the right direction for once.

[MadDocker]

Reckon you're right. Good young bunch on the up and play some exciting footy. Cripps is a beast and looks to be getting taller, young Silvagni only going to get better, our old Silvagni going well in the backline.

[Macca]

They deserve the bad wrap in the media

Just changing the subject for a bit before Fyfe leaves and Rossy has to play a top team

knowing his family i don't really see him leaving WA, whether or not that is a move to WCE or staying with dockers who knows

[Trolley]

As much as I love to loathe Carlton, I completely agree with their improvement. I have always liked A. Silvagni's efforts and really spewed when he was in and out of the Dockers side. So many times he did very well on Franklin and that says a lot in my opinion. Not sure what's going on with Collins at Freo either. That better not end the same way, the guy is a monster and very composed.

Hope to see a bit of Willie in the Eagles colours shortly but they'll fucking need a pair of balls to go with him.

[MadDocker]

He's gone I reckon. Unfortunate too because he is a very solid player and will have a good AFL career IMO.

[Gr3mlin]

Eagles or the opposition they played have not come up at all on Footy classified over the last 3 weeks, I would bet good money that Lloyd will bring up the Eagles and how bad they are tonight.

Though I would love to see some young blood get thrown in, too many players ball watching and don't want to get in there and win the hard ball.

In my eyes Lecras needs to go, Hill needs to lift and stop playing like a tall forward and Darling needs to grow some balls and use his big body. Also let Jetta go at years end, the guy is a fucking potato and has zero appetite.


We need to find a proper small forward to hover around marking packs in our 50 and get those sneak goals.

[Torquen]

The backman from Freo I want to see play is Luke Ryan. Reckon his mature body is ready made for a KPB.

[MadDocker]

Playing well for Peel as well. Keen to see him get a crack soon.

Not that Benny ever used it on game day ever, keep clutching at straws but since you likened the Eagles to Essendon, you should really contact ASADA and have them look into it if the club was doping the whole team with PED just at Essendon

Or just hop off the bandwagon and move along

Cuuld be worse and get nabbed for PED on game day like Crowley

Or play on cocaine like Michael Johnson

Its a flogged subject and people like to pick apart Ben Cousins and select pieces from his book etc but he was always adament he never took drugs on game day

Michael Johnson on the other hand, clearly still plays on the coke

Move along this has been flogged to death, the goto argument from jealous unsuccessful Dockers supporters (22 years of fail with no light at the end of the tunnel), funnily enough the same people have a cry when premierships are mentioned. These AFL threads have been derailed enough by bandwagoners

Back to real topics. Blakely to tag Dangerfield's shadow out of the game on the weekend and shut the smug Shitlaide supporters up!

Please be quiet at the ground if any Dockers supporters are making the trip, the Shitlaide elites were not happy about the noise after half time when Melbourne ran away with it!

The melbourne v north games was one of the better games I've seen for a while, it wasn't just because it was a pretty close game with momentum swing between both teams but I was glued to it due to the emotion between the two teams, nothing like a bit of spite to get you sitting up in your seat.
To lose a Brownlow due to a bit of argy bargy would be a disgrace, especially if you've got the Footy player equivalent of fuckhead DanWA in your face, a good gut punch would bring the crowd to its feet. They should up the fine, $1000 isn't going to make anyone think twice.

[SSICK]

LOL at taking the side of a drug addict claiming they 'never took drugs on game day'...... cos that would be wrong.

I'm with ya on this one. Hate to see any jumper punch be a suspension. I think a decent force should be required before you miss a week. Fans love that shit too.

[MadDocker]

Agree there meeds to be "sufficient force" to see players sit games out. Getting away with a $1000 fine punching someone fairly solidly in the jaw because you had a handful of jumper while players sit out for accidental headclashes etc seemed pretty crazy though.

Need to find a middle ground somewhere. AFLs specialty

[ossie_21]

I think a much bigger fine could be a deterrent, but they need to run on a case by case basis.
Whoever hit Bernie Vince on the weekend didn't deserve a suspension if the rules changed, I thought it was a bit weak he acted like he was shot in the guts. The equivalent of Cotchin on Neale should be a week, that was dirty & got him good.

I love a bit of the rough stuff, but tummy taps are generally fuck all. But go for the head with a jumper punch though, it's not a good look for kids watching so if you see it too much it will only result in thugs growing up playing the game. You see some of the old shit, like biffs, bumps & brawls & im surprised there was no one punch deaths involved!

What an idiot. Looked promising in his time with the Dockers and thought he could light it up a bit this year with a preseason under his belt. Obviously didn't learn too much from his first stint in jail and deserves everything he gets.

Yea read a bit of that, even at this age some of those drills are pretty full on. Hard enough to get them to stand in a line.

Our head coach sets up the plan for each week based on that, yep agree that keeping it fun and not to serious is the key.

[Macca]

There has been a shift in the last 12 months from just game orientated to skilled drills. i dont totally agree with it as under 6 is all about just having fun.

Make all the parents that sit there and think its ok to sip coffee on the sidelines help, even if you have to embarrass them to get off their arse.

Half think it's a childminding service. It takes no knowledge of the game to help keep the kids entertained but there will be plenty that just want to sit back, all the way from auskick to grade 7 where my eldest is at now, its been the same 7 odd parents doing everything for the 20 odd kids and it still shits me.

This! The parents should help out as much as possible, my girls group has about 5-6 of us that help out, I was even paired up with a random kid doing a handball drill and we kicked butt haha, he loved it. It's good fun!

[Greg Rust]

Our group of parents is pretty active, so no real issues there as they're all involved in the drills. My mate who's a high school teacher is awesome but he also had a whistle last week.

might have to get myself one of them.

[XT43]

good on you for getting in there. Watch your reflexes blossom, one of the joys of kids kicking the ball the same power if they're 5m away or 20m away.

Nothing like a footy to the nuts at 830 in the morning.

[MadDocker]

This game is a good arm wrestle so far. Some shocking kicking mixed with some flashes of brilliance here and there. Good game for Thursday night footy.

Putrid by the Dockers. Knew we'd get beat but Adelaide just seem to carve us to pieces. Only positive was Wellers game.

[Gr3mlin]

Same bullshit from Eagles...relying on skill, no game plan and no heart.

Least Jetta is putting some effort in for once.

[ossie_21]

You'd be sweating on what Kennedy's injury is

[Gr3mlin]

When the midfield is playing like that, does not matter if Kennedy is playing or not.

50,000 fucking hand balls only to turn it over with the next one isn't going to win games.

I'm really questioning if Simpson can actually modify whatever game plan on the fly, because to me after the first bounce he only becomes a spectator.

[MadDocker]

Hope Kennedy isn't too bad. He's a quality player and good to watch when up and about.

[XT43]

Another great weekend, 5/9 games were any teams to win in the 4th quarter.

Awesome season of footy.

[Trolley]

I managed to turn $65 into $226 from bets against the Dockers and Eagles so the losses hurt a little less, lol
Adelaide by 33+ in the first quarter
GWS by 1-19 final score

[Gr3mlin]

Fuck I hate 50% of my fellow West Coast fans, so fucking delusional about where we at.

Some are in favour of players no matter how shit they are playing and should never be dropped and the others think the team is above criticism and we should all wrap the players in blankets so they don't hear bad words.

We are talking about grown ass fucking men who get paid to play sport, not 10 year olds with terminal cancer.

[Passage GT]

Really frustrating the number of handballs, They use a couple to get it clear of congestion, that's great, but then they'll throw another one or two out there and soo many times turned the fucking thing over!
Was good to see Jetta play with a bit of heart, hopefully some more games he'll gain some confidence to take the game on a bit, also impressed with Nelson's game, few mistakes including getting caught with the ball but moves good and made some good decisions.
We won't get anywhere until they sort the clearances issue, They can't just rely on Nat to come back to drop the ball down their throats, they need to find another avenue to win some clearances, if it wasn't for the quality of our back half this year we'd be sitting very low on the ladder!

When the midfield is playing like that, does not matter if Kennedy is playing or not.

50,000 fucking hand balls only to turn it over with the next one isn't going to win games.

I'm really questioning if Simpson can actually modify whatever game plan on the fly, because to me after the first bounce he only becomes a spectator.

He hasn't shown he change on the fly, I can't even remember when the Eagles have come back from a deficit. Literally we start winning or we lose...

I also hate the one step handball, it inevitably ends up in a turnover that lets the other team score. What happened to taking a few steps and finding a target and hitting them? Mitchell and Shuey are good with the ball displosal but Priddis, Gaff, Masten etc just deliver hospital passes constantly when in close

Goes to show how good Kennedy is.

Imagine the cluster fuck it would be to time a lead to a midfield that loves to crank up the stats with unnecessary handballs.

Who the hell was the player that turned the ball over in the centre square, with a cheeky "over-the-top of the opposition's head" handball, that ended with a GWS goal? Should be sided for 2-3 weeks for that effort.

When are they not ?

[MadDocker]

Had a couple of decent years mixed in with the usual rubbish.

[MadDocker]

Queens Bday game was a ripper. What a come back by Melbourne. Some of the runs through the guts from both sides were top quality.

[Torquen]

Watts' goal to seal it was a brilliant piece of play.

[The_Senator]

Agreed.

Top quality game indeed.

Fucking booo for being at work and missing it.

Poor bugger. He's tough as nails for sure and I hope he gets back on the park. Horrible luck.
