first point of order will be to give that hand a fair dinkum wack

Nice comment peanut.

 

[elsleevador]

If you're worried about the three h's. Port will lose. Hand, hair (chad) and hayden.

You'd be best for the job - seems like you do a fair bit of whacking with your own hands

Baker got an 8 week ban (or was it 12?) for hitting an injured hand.
Hitting the splint will hopefully cause more damage to the hitter than Micky.

But we have Hartlett

 

[Bicco]

Well the journos are more confident than me, everyone has tipped us.

I personally think it's 60/40.

You can't pick 60/40, they might feel the same but you can only pick a team to win. Most people agree with you, but unless you pick a draw, it's Freo to win. Who knows, after this game we might have an AFL endorsed 'rivalry' with Port. Similar to the epic WC/Sydney one.

Strange that Richmond are given more of a chance against Sydney than Port against Freo.

As much as I'd like Richmond to win, they're next to no chance, unless Sydney ease up (or it rains, which is looking likely)

its ok for Crowley to play dirty (which personally doesnt worry me) but if we target Barlows hand its not-on, pot calling the kettle i think

 

[StingBitten]

Yeah I'm getting over the whole Port love-fest... 5 minutes on their board and I want to see the South Australian streets wiped with Lleyton Hewitt's innards.

He got reported 4 times, 1 was for hitting the injured hand of a Geelong player which he got 3 week downgrade to 2 from memory.

Unfortunately Barlow plays for Fremantle

Where were all their supporters when they were losing a couple of years ago, massive bandwagoners.

You must be the real Chad Wingard.

Isn't Hewitt an Adelaide supporter?

1. Crowley doesn't play dirty.
2. The ruse of you being a port supporter might be more convincing if you actually posted something on their board.

Crowley isn't a dirty player. He plays within the rules.

I thought I'd seen his face before somewhere, now I get it:

You won't get near Micky B's hands. They'll be on the ball.

 

[pavsbootlace]

Fair enough. You might be interested in seeing this though.

Duffield is the most efficient user going inside 50, not just in the team... but in the entire afl. He doesn't just kick well out of defense. He is a brilliant kick into our F50.

Fair enough if you reckon sutty is one of the best delivering inside 50 in the team. But Duffield is better at it than sutty. Not just observations or preferences here... its backed up by data.

you can argue with the stats if you like. They're only ever a partial view of anything. But these stats show that Duffield finds a target inside 50 more than any other player in the whole afl... and pretty comfortably so. Even sutty.

"The most efficient: Paul Duffield While Pearce goes in most often, Duffield's precision kicking makes him the most effective in the AFL at 67.7 per cent. He is the designated kick-in specialist for Fremantle as well so he is arguably the Dockers' most trusted player with ball in hand."

Nice find

Sydney have nothing to play for, whereas the stakes for Richmond are massive.

If Sydney get thumped they won't finish lower than 2nd.

Richmond could end up ... 9th!

They're not called 9thmond for no reason!

Read it a few weeks ago and had it in the back of my mind during all the arguing back and forth. Wasn't sure how many on the forum were aware of it... probably a minority I suspect.

I expect it to be completely ignored to be honest. Or disregarded with the logical equivalent of a hand flap. Hope springs eternal though...

Considering you've only ever posted on our board since you've joined leads me to think you're a troll. Go away.
