I still think 12 wins is certain to play finals.I gave them 12 wins finishing 9th.
Exactly. A win against port by 2 points is better than beating north by 100 pointsOnly out of the 4 on %.
Play North next week. We HAVE to ensure four points, % is irrelevant. We kick 2 more points v Port we are in the 4 a game ahead.
The problem with ladder predictor is nearly everyone picks favourites. 16 wins is certain top four.I did the ladder predictor and wow there’s so many 8 point games. Had us playing Sydney in the last round determining whether we finished 3rd if we win or 6th if we lose. (With a record of 16-6 lol).
Don’t know who melbournes going to lose to but surely they drop one. Hopefully it’s to a side out of the 8. Or Carlton who I sadly have finishing 2nd comfortably. Then basically a game and % separating 3rd to 6th.
Gonna be a finger biting run into finals if we keep our form up.
Probably but doing the ladder predictor I just gave the favourites the wins which doesn’t always eventuate. For example Melbourne no losses for the year. They’ll prob drop a game or two when there’s not much to play for.I still think 12 wins is certain to play finals.
Agreed That what nearly all of us do. The problem with that is I had one winner today.Probably but doing the ladder predictor I just gave the favourites the wins which doesn’t always eventuate. For example Melbourne no losses for the year. They’ll prob drop a game or two when there’s not much to play for.
Would you rather Carlton be s**t or essendon be s**t? Discuss
Yep for sure. Just not in wet weather which shouldn’t be an issue often.do people still think Freo are any good?
Unfortunately that seems certain.Carlton, the arrogance of a fan base that’s had a club incapable of anything close to a solid season of football in a decade is crazy.
Dons fans can usually at least take a ribbing of their club for the last 10 years amicably I find.
Watching Jack Silvagni tell the North guys their club is s**t the other week, you would have thought they were on the back of a three peat putting someone in their place. Just make a finals series first you scrubs.
do people still think Freo are any good?
Our new hero, David King, on First Crack started with the umpiring across the weekend saying it is now just a whistle fest and the spectacle is being destroyed. Paying soft frees, not letting the game flow, then fans get frustrated when the same soft frees aren't paid.
His view is nobody understands what dissent is or not as they pay 50 randomly, and people are voting with their feet with crowds down on average 6000 on 2019 pre covid season.
Not just us apparently.
You’re spot on re: Naughton. Absolutely nothing in it. Bevo has lost the plot, real weird operator.Yep, was pleased he brought it up first thing.
On SEN this morning Gary and Bucks discussing that the Lions game had 60- something free kicks
We had 51 and the round average was in the 40s. Totally over the top.
Both Ratts (half time) and Max (end of the game) alluded to it. Apparently Fagin mentioned they “gave away” 9(!) goals by free kicks!
Hope there’s some soul-searching and reflection at AFL and Umpire’s house this week, but somehow I doubt it.
On another topic - Bevo moaning about the efforts of the Suns’ Collins on Naughton. Didn’t watch the entire game, but from the examples they showed last night, I though it was just normal close defending. Am I wrong?

People just don’t get it. It’s about local and junior footy and tge abuse at these games. It’s dropped so yes long term it will atttact kids. All this other media stuff happens every year. People just forget.Yikes! How's that umpire recruitment drive going? They must be really attracting people to the game with all the positive feedback they're receiving

No unlike you I’ve actually seen the benefit at local and junior footy. Pretty weak argument to just say I’m backing the afl. And all this negative discussion is the same as every year nearly around the same time. And you guarantee what you said because I’ve seen the opposite with my own eyes. I’d love to know how you would get more kids umpiring at junior level. The very funny thing is people whinge about tge umpires being no good but don’t realise for them to get better they need more depth in umpiring.But surely making them the centre of negative attention isn't helping. I think you are just so determined to back the AFL you aren't seeing straight. I don't know anyone that thinks umpires have risen in people's opinions.
They are more derided and there is more distain towards them and the AFL. It's like a government beating up their citizens to teach them respect. You silence it for a while but they are plotting against you the whole time.
I can guarantee that frustration will rise and junior umpires will wear the AFLs bad decisions because the fans are frustrated and have no recourse or voice.
No doubt everyone expects the AFL will penalise Essendon and Collingwood for the behaviour of their fans last night by taking away the Dreamtime at the G fixture next year.

Bit harsh on Collingwood
