He's a secret agent, still working for us.

Mark Williams 2.0 - hopefully Worps can usher in a similar scenario at the Cats as the Bombers post 2010

Ehh are my eyes deceiving me or is the Adelaide v Port game not standalone on Friday night? Then we have trash games on Saturday? Current administration seems to be the poorest the league has had in a long time. Just mess so many things up.

The old midfielder double agent disguised as a home town retirement free agent bargain, second time Geelong have fallen for that this week.

 

[GOHORCS]

Not to jinx things, but the fixture starts to open up for us pretty soon. Tough games at Freo, Brisbane, GC away, but pending no injuries, we’d start strong favourites in just about every other game.

That said, the comp is super even, and we saw with Port last week, every team can give it a shake in their day. Plus injuries can change things on a dime.

So one week at a time, etc etc.

Playing all the weaker teams is not the best preparation for a finals campaign

That would cost money, it wouldn’t be cheap.
Which would impact the bonus of Gilligan and the muppets at AFL house.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I’m lost for words at the level of stupidity from both Greg Swann, and the AFL.

To say that a player who is running with their opponent, has to let their opponent run free into the F50 or else it’s a 50m penalty is absolutely bewildering.

People get so fired up about umpring - the absolute dumbest thing to say is "there's no problem, things are great. Better than great!"

I get that a player has to stand the mark. i.e. give the player with the ball enough room to have a free kick. I don't why the defending team HAS to put a player on the mark. Why can't they choose to have nobody there? That's a very dumb aspect to what Swanny has brought in.

Never thought I’d think this but I am missing Laura Kane’s input.
Greg Swann seems so much more out of his depth than Kane ever was.

The boys club in the media all loved to talk about how great ‘Swanny’ was going to be… how Swanny is gonna fix this and Swanny is gonna fix that…. He has just single-handedly said the most idiotic thing I’ve ever seen anyone at AFL house say to the media tonight in regards to that Ben Miller 50.

I’m glad Lyon called it for what it was “bullshit”.

If they persist with this interpretation then teams will work out how to create (game) this situation so that they can then either get the fifty or the loose player and then release the ball to them. Will be interesting to see when it becomes obvious that this is what is happening whether they continue to back that interpretation. I suspect they won’t.

Gerard Healy was openly cheerleading for Swanny in the first few rounds. Gone a bit quiet on that.

 

[Off The Couch]

I heard a caller to SEN today calling for all those who openly called for the sacking of Kane to put Swan to the same sword and have him come out and front the media or appear on the media lords show to explain each of the issues

I try not listen to Healy at any time

This is why you're relaxed compared to me

I guess the AFL believes that if they say the umpiring is the "best it's ever been" enough, it makes it true.

 

[Maybloomer]

Yet another example of the many available, of the AFL introducing a rule without due diligence or consideration of how it will be applied consistently or how the coaches will manipulate it. It’s only taken a handful of rounds and already their new rules have been shown up as being FUBAR.

The Donald Trump school of media manipulation......

 

[Sturty]

Swann, Kane and Dillon all need to GO

If Mark Williams was responsible for the dumpster fire in a train wreck that the Essington Futbol club has become then he deserves his own statue at the Kennedy Centre (preferably doing the shotgun at a plane)

I think he has moved beyond commentary and into the realm of comedy.

And he is excelling.
