Well there goes my clean sheet for tipping already...

Collingwood just pissed and shat all over Adelaide tonight. How could anyone have tipped this?

Bigger issue is the following;

2012 AFL draft;
17. Fremantle: Josh Simpson (East Fremantle)
18. Collingwood: Brodie Grundy (Sturt)

Whole lot of hurt right there.
We didn't need a ruck at the 2012 draft, with Sandi, Zac Clarke (pre festival) and Griffin. Grundy (as good as he has developed) would be playing second (third?) fiddle at Freo until now. Grundy was not a miss by our recruiters, he would have left by now if we did recruit him.

I'm on the verge of cancelling my AFL Silver membership due to this new MCG GF deal. We don't even hear about it until it's a done deal. Why they could not seek submissions from non-Vic supporters or something, I don't know. Do they even consult the non-Vic clubs? I seriously thought that after 2037, other stadiums might get a look in, or better yet, the AFL might re-negotiate the GF deal with MCG to make it fairer to other stadiums and non-Vic supporters. It really is the VFL, the 'A' is just tokenism. I don't know any other way to show my disgust, other than to remove my dollars from their coffers. A strongly worded email perhaps? I doubt they'd read it. Any other suggestions?

I know some other person will get my spot, probably a Pricktorian and they won't miss my money, but at least I can spend my money on something with a few more ethics, like live-sheep exports or testing cosmetics on animals.

I still love FFC but I am seriously disenchanted with the VFL.

If your team isnt in the granny - dont watch it - let everyone know you arent watching it
make sure channel 7 know

This is how to beat them.

Both the Crouch boys didn't play so not a total shock ,It was wet i think Adelaide went in too tall , Both Tex and Betts played poorly , Betts was injured late he looks sadly out of touch anyway in all 3 games i have seen him play (funny i missed the only one he scored in)They have a tough one next week as well , In this open season they need a bit of luck to go their way or they are no lock for the eight .

I agree, I think he would be filling in for Ryder at Port this weekend, who would be playing forward when both are available if we had taken him in the draft.

There isn't anyone jumping off the page at me before we took Tanner Smith either, or many after except Lachie Hunter who gets the ball a bit.

I'm just cheering for any Victorian team to fold if they get in financial trouble from now on.

The Eagles supporters are all talking top 4 and finals after their win last week over a injury weakened Geelong . I think (regrettably)they will finish in the 8 .

Even if they do, they will get exposed badly in finals. They played the Dogs who clearly didn't show up and Geelong with 3 blokes down off 6 day break and still almost lost.

They score a lot from D50, finals aren't played like that.

Too early for this discussion on both clubs, we will find out more about Freo than WC against Suns. They have had
two teams fall over, but against the Swans at home they looked pretty average.
Their depth will be a curse, as is the alignment deal with EP.
Doesn't help when NN is rucking against no one, and some teams refuse to tag. They are still a bruise free footy club
besides NN picking on midget's.
