It's a neat thought experiment innit. Would make for some chaotic channel surfing/internet abuse for those few hours. I think it's something to file along the likes of the AFL giving control of the code to an independent body, ie it's a very cool idea that will never ever happen.

I mean, imagine how fun, how difficult, how daunting, how exhilarating, how frustrating etc it must be being a head coach on game day. An experience very few people get to have! Hell yeah sign me up

Catters it sounds like you just got your feelings hurt about a Scott argument somewhere and needed to vent. There's heaps of reasons. - good pay - fulfilling and challenging, mentally, emotionally, etc etc - chance to really leave a mark on AFL - chance to stay for longer in the game you love -...

The more I think about this the more annoyed I get at Cochrane. How many coaches have been sacked after "the full support of the board"? How many players have been delisted after similar statements, how many surprise trades that require you to uproot your family, etc? Man, what an entitled...

If my boss asked if I was planning on leaving, and I was, then I still wouldn't say yes unless I had another job lined up. Employers lie to their employees all the time. So I'm not going to get all upset when the shoe is on the other foot.

Me and the missus were laughing recently about how Matt Burton used to be the std for super tall ruckman. Luckily Sandilands came along! A huge unit, seems like a decent guy and it’s a shame his body can’t keep up, as I thought he showed glimpses of his best a few times this year. Cheers sandi!

Yeah cmon fellas JK kicked 7 a few weeks ago. Rumours of his demise are greatly exaggerated. A pretty meh win, did enough. This is both kinda annoying but a good place to be; I'd be very happy if we cruised the GF by 2 goals...

The snowing is pretty neat, I haven’t seen any irl for years. I sympathise w/the commentators frothing on it

I think plenty of people are dumb enough, as it's generally advertised as a big wonderful gift (think all that "Toyota gives back to footy" thing) that us proles should be lucky enough to have. At the very least, it's the angle that companies are going for

Exactly, watching the game gives you a good indication of how the play is set up in the immediate vicinity, but it doesn't tell you anything about important stuff that is happening in the setup and the structure and all that s**t way off the ball. It's a real pain that CD is private. Surely...

Four years is *en ridiculous. Hope the dude can get it reduced.

* this stuff shits me. It's not Gaff's fault. But there's an immediately obvious implication here that AGL could donate as much as they wanted to the foodbank, but they won't, because they wouldn't get any publicity out of it, so it's all on Gaff!!!! It's like in cricket when some big...

Happy to be proven wrong, as I said. You guys have gifted us two derbies, beaten gws/bris/cwood and now Geelong! Thanks for doing us a solid It was immense tho. Crazy pressure, Fyfe was huge, was nice seeing Mundy get in the goals too. You guys just need to do this consistently (although I’m...

Jeez, the pressure has been ferocious. Freo looking a top 2 side in this game, not Geelong

Nice set up by Mundy. Got a soft spot for that old fella.

Matera!!? Dockers have done us a few favours this year. The Cwood game, not showing up for the derby Cheers fellas

Happy to be proven wrong but Geelong by.. let's say 60 points. 95-35 or thereabouts.

Liking the roos at the moment. Brown flops way too much but otherwise they seem like a pretty affable bunch. A lot of irritatingly good natured teams in the comp right now, give us a villain ya cowards

Preview looks significantly more exciting than how the game will be I reckon. Eagles to pull ahead in the 1st quarter (5 goals to 2) and then win a snooze fest by 17 points. Everyone on this board annoyed because Brisbane get their percentage closer to ours. That's my tip

I think that's more an indication of how bad your best 22 is than anything else.

Freo fans complaining about WC fans in this thread need to remember that we'd rather watch other teams play as well, but free to air over here is what it is! I didn't ask to watch every single dockers game. But beggars can't be choosers. Honestly tho I'm real surprised at how confident Lyon is...

Bit of a pedant man. Both were aiming in the general direction of the crowd.

Shorten it to two weeks and make the fixture floating I like the idea of a vfl/wafl/sanfl/neafl tribute round, but strikes me that you could just do them in regular H&A rounds. Doesn’t need the bye for it.

"Historically speaking, the composite bow or asiatic bow had an effective range of some 300 to 400 yards, though its absolute range was about twice that distance" So it could've hit anyone! Extremely dangerous. This is an OUTRAGE and it's just typical of the media that no one is reporting it!!!!

The losses sting worse when we’re in contention, and the games are much harder to watch. It doesn’t ruin my week when we lose but it definitely casts a shadow on everything. I don’t really enjoy watching games. Just sit there stressed out biting my nails to bits for three hours even when we’re...

Yeah that was some horribly editing. I get that you'd want a camera on it and all, it's a powerful moment. But show it later on in the washup or in the GF highlights package or something. That said at the time I wasn't too bothered!

Yeah I was about to say that. Fine line between being voyeuristic and leaving everyone in the dark. The AFL broadcast has always been shithouse with replays. They'll show an injury or a maybe-in-trouble bump 400 times, but good luck seeing that really contested pack mark from 5 minutes before...

Anyway it is a bit cringy if it's just a random goal, but someone wants to celebrate a clutch goal in a tight game then I don't have a problem with it.

Bow and arrows are fine. But the line must be drawn if it's an imaginary spear being thrown into the crowd.
