Bounce and Best on Ground are just rubbish (why they didn't stick with the excellent Saturday Stretch, I'll never know). Front bar is the best because of its perfect mix of humour, nostalgia and analysis. Also the deep cuts it brings to the fore are superb. Bounce is just a clown show in...
For the first time ever, they seem like a legitimate club and not just some basket case franchise with no soul. Hopefully with some success, they can get a full house to games. They have more chance than GWS does in this regard due to Victorian expats, the holiday factor and the Queensland...
Take out the vaccination crap and everything is spot on. Though we do have massive inequality because of the disparity between economic classes.
We are just a few years behind the ****show that is the USA.
When you can't get your car out of a parking spot because the queue for a fast food drive through extends beyond its boundaries. It would be faster to go in and get your food you lazy *****
West Coast- Fan base has a real superiority complex and I hated the actual team from the mid 2000s for two obvious reasons.
Hawthorn is the same but for last decade. But they are second because I don't have to put up with them as much being on the other side of the country. Additional points...
The problem with most ostensibly 'left' parties nowadays is that they are only left wing on fluffy social issues (or woke as some would say). Most western left parties have simply embraced a diet version of neoliberalism, thus not improving the lives of the working class in any substantial way...
I looked over cats v pies games for the last few years, just complete garbage. There will have never have been so many consecutive games between two sides which have been so trash.

I dont mind a defensive game if its pure pressure, e.g 05 and 09 grand finals. This had all the feel of a pre season scratch match, emphasised by the lack of crowd. Its not surprising in hindsight, hopefully better days are ahead.
Only been one all Melbourne grand final since 2001 (technically two but anyway) and the first between two of the historical big four (Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond) since 1993.
Would be huge but scary around the streets of Melbourne that night.
I think Richmond are the true best side. One slump mid season under mitigating circumstances meant they finished lower than their ability reflects.
If the pies and tigers reach the gf (likely), tigers will thrash them. Pies have looked like a 7th-8th team for most of the season, got a few lucky...
This system is just fine. Dont give the AFL any ideas. The only reason Id want the wildcard system is because of the ridiculous bye round before finals, not because of its merit.
Richmond v WCE wouldve been almost foolproof. There is the issue of the 5 day break but both had it so its fair. We were at very best going to be at the fringes of the 8, and Melbourne are Melbourne. And this was already a Friday night fixture earlier in the year, why the double up?
Im for a...
Thinking about it a bit more, the 8th placed team on their day may ironically have a decent chance. GWS and Essendon have lots of injuries, Collingwood are playing as bad as the rabble fighting for 8th.
Its very bizarre.
Will the mid table team that stumbles into the 8 be the worst finalist in the AFL era? Crows, Port, Bulldogs, Hawks, Freo and even the Saints all in the fight for this spot and all are at best inconsistent and at worst very poor.
Only comparable team I can think of is Essendon in 09.
So who...
This round has been a new low. Where facepalms and cursing at turnovers have become the norm for neutral games.
Lower interchanges seems to be the best way to combat this, or even the introduction of a subs bench (allow 10 changes per game) seem like the best way forward. But it wont solve...
Melbourne in 2010. Just got blown off the park by an ordinary Melbourne side. Think it was 14 goals to 2 at half time.
GWS final last year probably takes the cake now. We went goalless for three quarters from the middle of the first quarter to junk time. Was painful viewing.
Gold Coast last...
No, but Geelong look far and away the most complete package this year. GWS look the next best, but have problems against any half decent team at the MCG.
West Coast and Collingwood are in 3rd gear right now, just going, not impressing greatly.
Brisbane, it is too soon
Richmond running on...
