How is Brad Scott still a coach? 10 years and he's gotten smashed in 2 prelims....the current list is diabolical

How is North still a club?

 

[wahawk]

Not to a man they say "shot on goal" what does that even mean?

It means they are having a shot at goal

 

[Brant]

I want those who regularly criticise the value of Ruff in our side these days to take a good look at Brown and then give yourself a punch in the face. Ruff would walk into this north side in a heartbeat

Then we should 100% do that trade at year’s end

Historically, he’s extremely lucky

 

[Hawthorn United]

Why in the last ten or fifteen years have commentators lost the ability to distinguish prepositions. These morons collectively used shot at goal 20 years ago. (I mean lets face it you're shooting at something not on it.) Not to a man they say "shot on goal" what does that even mean?

Think they first took it off soccer, but they have shot on target and shots as 2 different stats.

AFL industry being semi pro, butchered it and it's now ingrained in everyone's footy jargon.

Reckon that assuming they researched terminology from other sports is giving them a little too much credit!

Agree. And I still can’t get my head around “versing” that my kids use......”who is Hawthorn versing?”. IT’S PLAYING!!!!

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Fair play to Port they don't seem to be missing Wingard one bit, have some good kids especially Rozee who looks to be Wingard but 8 years younger and at the start of his career, coupled with Boak and Rocky coming back from the dead they'll play finals.

This one is particularly egregious as "versing" is an actual word with a meaning. It means to write verse for a poem. It doesn't not mean "playing" or "opposing", but it is being slanged that direction.

They beat North at home - just - who were missing their best player.

Calm the farm.

I thought the stupid 6-6-6 rule was supposed to open the game up for the KPF to dominate. It actually had the reverse effect. Ben Brown and Tom McDonald are two guys I thought that would’ve benefited from the new rules this season. Good job AFL

I think it’s just exposed who the shit forwards are. Lynch and Cameron haven’t struggled to get a kick

They can’t afford to pay him out,hope they keep him I love seeing them lose weekly

The rule means there are fewer opponents around Ben Brown to give him a free kick. Doesn’t know how to find the goals otherwise.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Forget sending them to Tassie...

Send them to a knackery...

Leave no stone unturned

 

[grumbleguts]

Not usually one for the hot takes but I think Norf are not very good at professional football.

You sound exactly like my son.

Yeah this is a pretty good explanation. Especially the semi pro part. Explains a lot.

Not the AFL, both sides are shite this year, bottom 2 currently. Midfields are being beaten/halved. That’s why those two suck. Put either into Geelong and they’d be doing a lot better

 

[Woodside Hawk]

I think 6-6-6 has hit Melbourne harder than most. They used to line up with 8-6-4 pretty regularly and run two from the half backline through the centre to create some run.

Take that away from them and they are suddenly exposed as lacking leg speed and spread.

Maybe that’s why McDonals can’t get near it.

backline must be feeling left out of the "nicknames club".

I assumed that the nickname "handbaggers" covered not only their playing list but also their coaching staff and supporter base.

I think it's common sense that we all just stick with that as it's more than served it's purpose since the dawn of time.

 

[COKEandCOLA]

Good Friday is boring and having Essendon vs North Melbourne doesn't help matters

At least it was good for a chuckle

 

[Milkshaker]

Read this exchange. It’s very good.

Love it. First Hodgey and now Jack getting into the fake news brigade. Should be more of it.

...double negative! Gaaaah !!

What time do the seniors start at Metricon ?
