Squiggle projection is GWS, Crows, Port & Richmond all finishing top 4 with 15-7 records... & Carlton winning the spoon.

Have Sydney, Hawthorn, Melbourne & Cats making the finals too.

This means they have Gold Coast & West Coast dropping out for Richmond & Geelong
Nah. That Perth crowd is insane. Barring a freak forward kicking eight, it’s hard to see the Eagles losing too many at the new stadium. They’ve already won one away. Win 2-3 more on the road and they will play finals.

They have already lost 1 at home for a 1-1 record & arguably only won today thanks to Cats only having 1 fit player on their bench. Could have easily been 0-2 at home, so not as strong at home as they were, as probably getting used to the new dimensions.

This is how dumb or PR conscious the AFL is....they’ve put that disallowed goal incident on their page and tried to spin it as the Eagles player ‘didn’t count on’ the Geelong player blocking his kick....and people have piled onto the comments and ripped the AFL.

My god they’re so farkin bad/corrupt. Help me get this hashtag trending #sackgill

Are we still listening to the squiggle?
I threw that out 18 months ago.

Norwood, Canadiens, Maroons.
I see one of our walkers got disqualified for running in the Commonwealth Games.

Is there a more useless event or sport than walking?
It’s nigh on number 1 for comedic value though just behind curling.
I could imagine walking would be the kind of sport Kel Knight would be into.

I guess they are gambling that he only needs to be fit for a single day in September for it to be all worth it. He is still the Cats equal best player from the opening games. Don’t blame them and would have wanted us to do the same if given the chance.

After St Kilda could only get 19k to last night we may have to call a moratorium on Port crowd jokes.

How deplorable. Port still got more than that at the height of the Tarps days
No they weren't

Port were pulling 13k-14k in those days, don't let their revisionist history crap fool you.

I don’t need understand walking as an event. It’s like who can whisper the loudest.

The non-freestyle swimming events are similarly odd. It would be like having a 100m race for “normal” running and then 100m events for who can run backwards he fastest, who can hop the fastest and who can cartwheel the fastest.

They’re not going to get there at this rate. I know they’re also missing Taylor, Henderson and Duncan, but their talls outside of Hawkins, Taylor and Henderson are very average.

What has happened to Black and Crameri that they can’t get a game in the current Geelong team?

Crameri was injured, never been the same since the drug scandal

And Black? He’s gone from competing with Ben Brown for the second tall forward spot at the Kangaroos to obscurity. Geelong seems to be the place now that tall forwards and ruckman from other teams go to fade out to nothing.

Black played in the JLT but he's just rubbish.

Or running whilst occasionally jumping over things?
