So obviously pretending to inject yourself is deeply offensive to those at Essendon. Injecting yourself with unknown drugs is completely fine however
Yep... my hero.
I tell you what, if we were playing against this Sydney team that's lining up tonight, I'd give us a huge chance.
Bring the pressure & their kicking skills go to water
On cue, Adam Goodes just runs away from Ollie Wines like he's a statue & goals from 40m.... Wow, the old bloke still has some toe (either that or Ollie is a snail)

That Goodes goal was something special.
On the other hand, Shaw's inability to kick on his left foot is embarrassing. How is it possible that he delivers three bananas in general play (that I've seen) when he's been playing AFL for that long? All s**t kicks, by the way.

Being lectured by a GWS 'supporter' on Twitter... Wants me to elaborate on what a plastic club is.
I think he thinks he's being clever.
SMH.

Lazy football by Port. No one could have predicted the fall in form they've had this year.
They're 4 goals down to a Sydney side without their two key forwards and key defender (and Gary Rohan, who along with Ted came off injured during the course of play, meaning the Swans are a player down).
Still a quarter to play, but Port are not playing good football.
Oh, and Broadbent's an arsehole.

How does Ryder routinely get away with simply shoving his opponent out of a ruck contest?
If you've watched Sydney as closely as me, my missus is a big Swans fan so all their games are a must see event, you'll realise their entire team is full of very very average kickers.
Smith, Grundy, Shaw, JPK, Jack, Laidler, Mitchell, Pyke, Richards, Jetta, Rohan, Parker are all very average field kickers. When teams bring enough pressure, it stands out like a sore thumb. The reason they can accommodate such a high number of poor kicks in their team is their competitiveness, their numbers to the contest, their ability to win the contested ball, their spread & their team first discipline all over the field.
Now I know some people will jump on me & show me DE% suggest otherwise, but remember that if a kicked ball is gathered on the bounce by a team mate, it's still an effective disposal. This happens A LOT in Sydney's general play because their kicks are average. If your opposition applied enough pressure to enough of these kicks, 50% of them will be turned over.

Jetta is a pretty good kick isn't he?
Used to be... Dunno what's happened in the last 2 years but he really is capable of some howlers
Case in point: he took a kick in tonight & kicked it 60m to an unmarked Port player who was 20m in the clear.... Another instance he ran off half back & kicked long down the wing to 2 port players (Towers was the target but the ball was kicked 40m away from him) who took the ball on the bounce & carried it away. (Issue: given the length of these kicks, they are still effective disposals due to metres gained - just another way stats lie)
Both times he was under no pressure whatsoever... His kicking has dropped off significantly since their flag win in 2012

His whole game dropped off after that. He looked like he was going to be a superstar that year.

Geez Darcy Moore just looks like another typical Collingwood flog.

Every week Cloke just confirms that he's the worst set shot for goal I've ever seen.

He'd look bloody good. Chuck a Pies jumper on and he instantly looks like a flog.

Jordan De Goey is such a good player for someone so young and inexperienced. Can't wait to see him with a hundred games under his belt

He's a big unit too. Looks massive around the shoulders and arms.

Every time I see Harvs in a Filth shirt it makes me throw up in my mouth a little...
