"Fremantle's star midfielder was suspended for four matches last season for two separate incidents that almost cost him the Brownlow medal."

I'm pretty sure he would have picked up at least one vote in four matches! How did it "almost" cost him a Brownlow?

 

[estibador]

And anyway, 'almost' implies he actually won it.

History has forgotten Priddis already.

 

[Mr Peabody]

Only the one journo from the Herald Sun team picks us as Premier.....I'm thinking he's one astute fella but from 6th Ron? Are you taking the piss?

Fyfe is the second best player in the game (behind Ablett) according to the players

[Lach72]

If he even improves his kicking by 20%, heaven help the rest of them

But the Captains voted Fyfe most likely to win the 2015 Brownlow, ahead of Ablett.

Fyfe can do things Ablett can do, I've never seen Ablett take a contested mark.

 

[Mr Peabody]

Expanded version of an interview that 7 showed only a snippet of. It actually is quite different to the norm. Some interesting stuff on RTB's background that I've not heard before (e.g. dropped out of footy, went on the dole and pumped petrol).

Yeh he only gets 59 possessions and kicks 5 goals.

 

[se17enteen]

Yeh he only gets 59 possessions and kicks 5 goals.

And his team still loses.

Quite thankful to be away from my foxtel box this week - Robbo and Twhateley's post-essendon moralising will be ******* unbearable.

I think it will be fun tonight. Robbo will be more drunk than usual.

The only way Robbo could be more drunk is if he was asleep under the table.

Anyone watch League Teams? The lack of research by them for freo was an absolute joke. Apparently our departures were - L. Bradley, S. Gumbelton and R. Simpson

They also failed to pay any attention what was happening at freo today, by saying they won't have Suban, Mzungu and Ballantyne for this match and maybe the early rounds. No professionalism in the slightest.

Yeah. They are on the ball those fellas.

Did they forget to pick a winner between Freo and Port on league teams? I saw them give ladder predictions for both teams, but nothing for the upcoming game...

Yep. No tips. Hopeless. L Bradley would be shocked.

You did get a chance to pick it up later when they flashed everybody's round 1 tips up on the bottom of the screen.

 

[Pavs_Risotto]

Ok cheers I'll have a look

It's begun up the road already, you've got Browny, shuey, sheedy, Matty, Hilly etc. and now their latest addition to the team, 'Lamby'.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-02/two-eagles-set-for-debut

"Lamby's exciting, he's going to be a very good player," Simpson said.

"We need that in our side. He'll play down back, and Lamby will play up forward.

They've always been a beacon of originality with their nicknames up the road.

Paul "Roosy" Roos would be proud.

Further down - Lyon told 3AW on Monday night that Sylvia remained a "work in progress" and when asked whether Sylvia was just a slow learner, replied: "I think that's proven to be the case.”

I don't like to see our players bagged out, but it is essentially what Lyon said. Hard to see Col coming back this season now.

He's gone, even Dr Hook can't help him.
