If geelong has, as the article title suggests, "moved on", why are you even talking about it ya numpty?

Had to laugh at the 'whole footy world disagreeing with the decision' angle.

I didn't think it was worth a suspension, was a very soft hit. That said, the Cats were spineless and didn't even challenge it yet they come out and say no one agrees with it. If no one agreed with the suspension then you'd have taken it to the tribunal and not just sook about it after accepting it. Weak.

what a muppet!

That has to be one of the most ridiculous articles I have read in a long time! So he is suggesting that if we don't win another 5 games we will drop out, but then all he talks about after that is that we aren't in premiership contention, is he saying we can't make the finals or that we can't win the flag? Lordy lord is that rubbish, seriously where do they find these people from?

If it was that wrong, why wouldn't you take it to the tribunal?

Mission accomplished.

Same bloke did a couple of stories last year and said Hawthorn couldn't win the GF.

He bases his stories on numbers and statistics purely. Doesn't account for standard deviation either.

Happens to be a Geelong supporter in a family full of Hawthorn supporters. Make of that as you will.

Isn't that typical behaviour

 

[IdiotBox]

Oh dear, what a shame! Guess they're still stuck on 9 then.

Poor Geelong, trying to claim premierships from a different league, 130 years ago. Talk about having an inferiority complex.

Minnow club.

Yeah it auto corrected

I hate that!

Sounds like most other people in football these days.

 

[Pessimistic]

Definitely think its time to reset to AFL flags only, and 1990 is as good a time to set as any

Yep. Dumb as shit.

Plus he's like "Hawks fail by being marginally lower than the following stats midway through the season despite their draw in the second half being much easier and they could only go up from here:"

 

[OzJohnnie]

Yep heard chaos too.

Would be interested to know people's thoughts on what that would be.

I am assuming it's having no set position and just utilising his running strength to find space wherever or get to as many contests as he can.

???

My bet is that it's more deceptive and supposed to cause confusion rather than gain a possession in the immediate play. Maybe he intentionally runs counter or perpendicular to the play in order to confuse defensive setups. Maybe weave his way through dead spots in an opponents zone in order to pull it out of shape for other players. Stuff like that.

What a great article from a blues supporter about Clarko. I haven't seen a genuine thoughtful one like this.
Well written.

Oh no, I didn't mean to do that, was just pointing out that it's being discussed on the main board.

He's certainly not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater though.

Long overdue. Porkins has used this tactic a few times since his attack on Stratton. I find the whole issue of you will get off if you grab a handful of jumper, before you deliver a short, sharp jab to your opponent's jaw. However the incident will be treated differently if you forget the jumper. Does that make sense?

Ross?

 

[IdiotBox]

GWS learning the harsh reality of being the AFL's love-child. The generous patronage Of AFL House comes with certain, er, obligations and the primary concern... the almighty $$ will sway all decisions. That there is talk of playing future games on that disgusting Olympic Stadium is just plain wrong.

Does anyone actually care about them? Pretty much irrelevant
