surprised so many have written us off. we essentially get a fresh squad back. 3-4 rounds of hard matches to ready the squad for a finals series. its quite a good situation imo

And Gibbo will never get one

That is what is the worst. Gibbo plays on someone and still gets across to cover other opponents. Wins his own ball and is very creative with ball in hand. Leads the league in spoils year in year out. Yet no love...

Very comforting to see the AFL is really getting on top of the BIG issues troubling the game at the moment.

I reckon a club B&F would mean more to him than AA selection.

One you're being told you're the best player by your own coaches who know your role intimately.
The other you're being told you're one of the best in the league for your position by a panel of "experts" who don't know your role in your team and are swayed by popular opinion far too easily.

I have no doubt he would but as a supporter you like to see people outside the club recognise how good your players are. Maxwell has never had a season like Gibbo's last few and yet one got gifted an AA on the back of an outstanding season by his club (not unlike some of the Geelong players who got free AAs) and Gibbo plays in the best team across the past three years and can't beat out guys like Mackie.

Bad enough hearing that Lenny Hayes and Nick Maxwell are retiring, even worse news was that Brent Harvey has signed another one year contract, looks like he'll be joining Tucky in the 400 club Wish he was the one announcing his retirement.

Dude, where's that sarcasm font when you need it?
The best we can hope for is that our rivals suffer some of the "outrageous slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" that our great game can proffer. (ie reports and injuries)

Go the blues

 

[madhawksfan]

North already getting the rub of the green from the maggots. Don't they get enough charity off the field?

The Firrito incident would have been 50 if we did it.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Who the fudge have North paid off in the umpiring dept? Missed frees to the blues and ticky touchwood frees to North all night long by the looks of things

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Careful Rowe, if Drew gouges you don't retaliate. You'll get weeks

 

[Off The Couch]

Insufficient force

 

[Changa10]

Judge and Jury by Tom Harley yet again.....

 

[madhawksfan]

Funny how when North are getting called for incorrect disposal they don't look so crash hot.

 

[Off The Couch]

Why wouldn't that have been an unrealistic attempt by Thomas


Mitch Robinson is such a tosser
Lol at Lethal talking about how buddy got off
Bejesus, he came straight out and said he believes he got some favouritism

 

[Seagull Supremacy]

Now I know why Norf always trouble us - they're basically Geelong-lite.

Judge and Jury by Tom Harley yet again.....

Love that Leigh highlighted that Franklin had gotten off for a similar bump.

 

[IdiotBox]

Would think Robinson from Carlton should be OK but he has previous form so he's gone. It didn't look that bad.

Didn't look too bad if your name is Franklin, Goodes or Hannebery.

 

[Max Powers]

Figures, I tip Norf and they come out tonight playing like complete spuds.

 

[Max Powers]

Piss poor free kick to the eye gouger

 

[Off The Couch]

Another gimme free for Petrie - all of a sudden he is everyone's favourite son

 

[madhawksfan]

Carlton have all the answers. Cannot believe we lost to North!
