Kelly is a good example of why Cripps would cost too much. It’s not worth selling the farm for these highly exposed west aussies. I’m happy to get younguns if they turn in to serong

Cripps is a bit different in that he is by far the best of a pretty shitty midfield whereas Kelly suffered from a case of Des Headland by being good in a star-studded midfield.

How’s Tim Kelly? Oh this is delicious.

It gets even better when he suggests trading McGovern for Dunkley from the Bulldogs.

100%. Menegola has stepped back into his spot and is even better.

I had a peak at the West Coast board and my biggest take away was that Petrucelle played tonight apparently

I watched the whole game and didn’t see him once. Nice yoof they have coming through there

 

[gaskin]

Reading through their autopsy thread, I am pissing myself laughing at how many are saying Jetta should have played instead of *insert player here* because they did nothing. Ummm..... have they seen Jetta play lately? He is the definition of front running hack that goes invisible when they aren't belting the opposition.

I mean that beats Petrucelle who’s a front running hack that goes invisible

PSA to Freo posters, report, dont respond to any salty characters that might pop onto this board to vent the next 24 hours

Noted Snuff, ignored, but noted.

What were the umpire decisions they’re all upset about?

Problem is that’s half of the team. You go with them one on one, they’re suspect. Look at their team: Petrucelle, Duggan (who was pretty good tonight), Waterman, Ah Chee, Cripps. It’s a meh group. Just an elite coaching group and game plan

Dunno. Probably the one where Nic Nat tackled Sheed (IIRC) and got a free-kick for holding the ball.

6PR is ******* legendary

 

[stax on the mull]

Did Margetts umpire any of the finals...I can't remember seeing him.

It must be noted, Jetta does have 2 flags

Even the soccer clubs could see Usain Bolt was no good. Just because you can run fast, doesn’t mean your any good at anything else.

Think it was the one where Cameron spoiled the ball but JK got only a free kick instead a 50 on top of it

is the meltdown approaching Chernobyl levels?

I don't even think it is an elite gameplan. On the face of it, it does seem pretty simple. It relies heavily on the opposition kicking in long and McGovern and Barras intercepting and countering from half-back, or Nic Nat winning the tap and getting the clearance. Tonight showed just how middle of the road they are against a decent team when the ball is in general play around the ground.

Or the one where Nic Nat tackled Sheed & got a free kick for HTB.

When Naitanui tackled Sheed and got a free kick, it should have also been 50m

******* Krakatoa my dude

Hurn ripping someone's head off with a coathanger. The booing after that was incredible.

Case in point. Think Ross mentioned along the lines of you can have the Best five players of the league in a team, it’s the bottom 5 that loses games.
Honestly wtf is Petrucelle even doing?

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Can you believe they basically traded picks 11 and 12 for this year and 14 & 34 from last year for Kelly to get 12 disposals and the game losing handball?

Thanks for the tip Righteo, 6PR is delicious right now.
