Speaking of thugs I really like the way that Marley Williams has developed at Collingwood off the rookie list ,will be breaking out this year ..

If Newman and Williams end up going to jail together they could make a prison buddy comedy film out of it, they could call it 'Marley and me'....

Does anyone think the LFL is any good as a sporting contest? I'm not talking about what they wear, i'm talking about the level of athletic ability in it such as being able to throw a ball and catch it properly.

If it's not about what they wear, why isn't it played in full dress like other sports? Why isn't there an equivalent sport for men? I'm not saying the competitors don't have what it takes to be athletes, just that they if they have the skills and ability then that's the only thing that should matter.

Well that's my point. I was all for giving them an opportunity to showcase thier athletic ability (rather than thier uniform) and i was sadly disappointed. I watched a few games during the season and didnt feel that it got much better. So i wondered if it was just me or if anyone else felt the same.

Do you read Playboy for the articles as well?

haha no but theres sexy and then there's sad and pathetic.

I was just keeping an open mind and judging it purely on its athletic content because thats what the women who were playing it said it should be judged on, and i was disappointed with a fair amount of it. I thought i'd ask if anyone else had a similar opinion.

The players are still relatively new to the game in Perth .So the more games experience will come the athletic abilities . I wouldn't be expecting to be dazzled by skills ..

The Hawks do know it's just a pre-season game right?

Yeah, this is ridiculous. 117 point difference right now! And worst of all is that the Lions only made it to double digits at the very end of the 3rd... :O

I can't imagine a worse way to start the year than what the Lions are going through right now. Actually makes me feel kind of guilty that we got Yeo, they really need some options in their defensive half.

 

[i am a logo]

Brisbane look set for a tough year judging by their woeful performance against the hawks.

 

[Suma Magic]

I understand it was close to their 26 worst players, but I'd be pretty dissapointed if our second team put in a performance like that.

 

[the harry]

I do enjoy a good smashing of the Lions. Tomorrow it's Melbourne's turn!

 

[Natho]

Good move from Yeo!

Heck our second team smashed essendon in melb last year. Missing some players is no excuse for the kind of performance brisbane dished out tonight. I'm sure a lot of delusional lions fans will still have them making the 8 this year, using the b-team excuse for tonight's result.

 

[QS]

Geezus, what a mauling.
To the 'teams who wont make the 8' thread on the mainboard!

 

[lyall]

I get the whole its preseason and might as well get a game into everyone but I cant see how Brissie get anything out of that at all.

Probably better off playing at least half their best 22, at the very least as a bit of guidance to the young guys.

Yeah, nah. Those same guys that beat a run down and mentally destroyed Essendon then spudded it up in the 3 of the most pathetic games in WCE history

Really poor fixturing by AFL to have the premiers beat up a club that were clearly tipped to struggle this year ..

You would expect the quarterback to be able to throw the ball 5 metres and have the player catch it while wide open (no jokes) and not under pressure, particularly after a whole season of training and playing the game.

 

[bkozican]

I know the NAB cup is about getting experience in the young players but last night might put doubt into the minds of these young blokes......Getting smashed by the best in the league cant be a good feeling

I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I still had a lol

Well amigo that sounds like the lovely athletes need better coaching at catching and less time picking up ground balls for the coach .
