What are your thoughts on how the game will go with no crowds. Will the excitement drop with no atmosphere, or do you think the skills and goal kicking skills be better without the crowd pressure?

You're looking at someone who is going to another club on less money, one of the rarer times the clubs are going to be able to match it, but you know they wont, but should they? Is there any point in restricted free agency? Just seems like a big circle jerk the pre season draft used to be...

Just seeing the supposed siren before mark in the GWS/GC game. In the A-league there is a review in the lead up play to a goal. If someone in the continuous play is offside, or there's a foul (and maybe other things), then the goal can be cancelled. From my own team this year I can remember a...

Whoever wins this weekend, there will be a few players on either side of the coin regretting leaving that club before that team wins a premiership. In fact it seems to happen more than the person wanting to leave a club and then actually winning one. So the basis of this thread is the players...

Barlow, D Pearce, Sheridan, C Pearce, Suban, Sutcliffe. Time to go. The new rules probably work against them. Barlow is cooked full stop. D Pearce is not that quick anymore or dangerous around goals. Sheridan may have something, but it's not X-factor and he's a passenger when the pill is there...

Hope none of these clowns get to do the grand final. Have the ability to ruin it.

I believe yesterday was the only time that we have the 4 games on the Sunday. I personally quite enjoyed it, even if the majority of the matches were one sided. There was a half bit of a clash with the Adel v GC and WB v Freo game, but still a nice long day of football, compared to the usual 2-3...

Another WTF moment happening with Ballantyne being awarded a goal when it looks like he probably didn't touch it. Like the Garlett non goal earlier this year, this could've at least been looked at to get the right result. I wonder if the review ump is watching the play live or the television...

Unless a few upsets happen, it looks like the 8 is set. The elephant in the room is whether Essendon will get kicked out of the finals, thus making 9th spot a carrot for the 4-5 sides that could possibly get that spot (thus seeing some extra interest in games per round that we might not have)...

Clearly the directive from the Geisch this week was to lighten up on the 'in the back' rule. Saw a lot of times this weekend that players who dropped their knees or players who weren't really ridden into the ground, weren't paid the free. Not a bad job imo, but no doubt the umps are not going...

How much will they lose by?

Might as well put the whole goal review system into a tin can and set fire to it. Inconclusive at best (which would mean the goal umpires call?)

Very bizarre. Should there be a challenge system introduced for the video review?

Only gimme game is Port Adelaide, which is away and a week after a coach sacking. Hard to tip them against Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn in their current form. 3 losses could that could possibly dent the percentage a bit too.

Horrendous umpiring both ways.

Out - Suban, Crichton/Pearce, Pitt In - Duffield, Ballantyne, Walters I think like for like with Suban. Crichton or Pearce has to go - don't think they'll ever be anymore than good WAFL cover, and having both is a liability. Pitt no impact when he came on - seriously time for Walters. I...

Could count at least half a dozen times tonight when a player has taken a mark and the opposition player has crept closer, and also players that have running into the kickers space. Could just be a SCG thing, but certainly the umpires have given players the benefit of the doubt more lately, and...

No Sunday lunch game this weekend. Carlton on a 6 day break going to WA to play the Eagles who have come off the bye. St Kilda on a 6 day break going to SA after coming back from the Gold Coast, to play the Crows who have come off the bye. Next weekend only 2 Saturday games. The week...

We have an abundance of slow or small weak no-contested-mark midfielders (a very small amount of players excepted). A small amount of these midfielders can kick a goal. We have hardly any forwards that cant take a contested mark. We have hardly any forwards that are talented in kicking actual...

Just putting it out there or ole ole ole :rolleyes: umad?

Nathan 'slam the phone' Buckley or Brett 'clap clap clap' Ratten :D

Mark Harvey on Channel 7 Just a heads up for people who don't know, it's being advertised that Harvey is being interviewed on Channel 7 news and Today Tonight, tonight.

This is a possible alternative, though I doubt it's something the FFC could put further time into. Lyrically and musically, all the presented songs have good parts and forgettable parts. Without weeding through the negative parts of the song threads, It would be good to know peoples ideas about...

http://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7009/newsid/125509/default.aspx Eagles and Bombers in half games, Richmond and Port full games. Got to be a shot in this you'd think?

Got stuck on a road trip on the weekend, and the ABC radio was my only connection to my teams game. Unfortunately the game was wrist slashing stuff, but I was very impressed with the Knighter. It was the first time I have tuned into him, but he seemed to explain things well and has good...

I'm not sure if its a bad thing, but the players (especially in the first half) seemed to play with some overconfidence. The handballs to players with someone on their hammer, the handballs into space, the grubber kicks as a pass, the short kicks to a contest. Obviously the skill level sucked a...

Delete thread, all done thanks

Freo Vs Kangas, goal umpire says goal, boundary umpire says no goal. Now I've seen it all.

Been participating in the last man standing comp. Could be a pretty easy season, but there will be that round where Collingwood will take a loss or Gold Coast manage a win. Who do you think will get there first?

Say what? I take it stacks on the mill are counted as a tackle then? If two players from the same team are trapping the ball, do they both have to get tackled? Does a player have to get re-tackled if they drag in the ball? That umpire just did not want to pay that free...
