Hey guys remember when we were excited when we beat Melbourne in round 1?

The biggest worry for me is that I remember being so incredibly happy and impressed by our ball movement, our uncontested work, and our scoring ability Vs Melbourne but........

Fast forward 3 weeks and Melbourne have shown they have some really serious issues on the outside, they literally can't go with anyone and have absolutely no structural plan for containing outside spread, and their actual defense, on top of their whole ground defence, is just beyond horrendous.

So whether people like it or not, that win is looking very basic right now.

You mean the game where we debuted 4 rookies and 2 new recruits on Melbourne's home ground where we hardly ever play, played Paddy Ryder with a fractured cheekbone, gave up a 3 goal headstart, were donkey rooted by the umpires when the game was in the balance, and won by 26 points with 11 more scoring shots?

Yeah, remember it well. Bloody good win.

No where near our best win evaaa though Ford. Good solid win away sure. Melbourne have holes everywhere.

I didn't know you supported West Coast?

Lol

I've never seen a forward so consistently butcher best position in a marking contest the way Jake Melksham does.

Zac Clarke should be playing SANFL magoos

Such a "who cares" thing that only Australian Football fans would care about.

That's true, but it's a tradition.

That's like saying "oh having the captain as #1 doesn't matter, it's such an AFL fan thing to care about that"

Clarke really can't do anything except kinda ruck. Even then is below average.

Can't mark cant kick can't handball. Just useless around the ground in live play

I want to stab in the eye with a knife anyone involved in McDonald’s latest ad campaign.

The centre bounce is a blight on the game. The wearing of the number 1 by the captain is not. Doing away with the centre bounce will actually make the game fairer.

It actually hinders the game when these nuffies have to constantly recall the bounce it's about footballers skills not that of the umpires.. they need to **** up, throw it up & stfu.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Do people actually give a **** if the umps bounce or chuck it up????

6 dollars in the 1940s was a ****ing shitload of money for a six year old. Or is that the hungry Jack's ad. Nfi.

I don't even know what advert you're referring too, but I'm all aboard the stabbing in the eye part.

If I gave my missus a cold maccas coffee in the morning she would knock my teeth out and step over my sobbing body on her way out

So matchups, conditions and travel are irrelevant hey? You should beat Melbourne by 100 or you're nothing. NOTHING

I’ve got that game on the laptop and every time I glance at it McBean is lining up for a goal at the same spot like a glitch in the matrix

Who have they got coming through to replace talia lol

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Max Gawn does not care

 

[GremioPower]

Game is exactly where it was at QT.

Is this a bigger oversight than your opinions on The Crows or Willem Drew? Or less

If I gave my missus a Maccas coffee - same result.
