54 frees last night

12 into the last gws bombers

Oh my god that drove me nuts!!! It seemed that there was a whistle every 20 seconds - with absolutely shite calls most of the time!
The AFL needs to do something about the quality of umpiring, every season it gets worse and worse.

 

[BloodySwan]

I thought Freo would get better as the season goes on. I was wrong.....

 

[Punts]

Yer I’m totally wrong also

Though they would be top 6 and Fyfe would make a forward

 

[The King!]

[scaryness]

Is Lachie Ash the worst best 22 player in the league?

Shocking decision maker and shaky skills, constantly puts teammates under pressure with his ball use.

both reported abusive comments to the Dockers after their loss to Adelaide on Saturday, with the club slamming the “abhorrent and archaic” treatment of its players.

The latest episode comes just a day after Adelaide star Izak Rankine

was sent a vile message on Instagram by an account with zero followers and no posts – a sign of an account set up with the intent to abuse players.

said the people who continued to target AFL players from behind fake social media profiles were “pathetic”.

My first thought is bunch of kids bigging themselves up, but then apparently the person who racially abused JUH at the Bulldogs game was a white middle-aged woman, so who knows.

There may be people who say turn the other cheek, ignore it, but I'm tipping they are not the ones who are targeted by the abuse.

 

[Punts]

Anyone think with a fit list and their draw Ross can get them to top 4 and a legit crack?

Pies a test this week

Is Lachie Ash the worst best 22 player in the league?

Very close I’m far from convinced he’s a half back flanker though

He can't win grand finals, so no.

I will say that there's no denying Paul Roos Lyon's system works to an extent, and I really like that he's seemingly giving some of his exciting young talent the license to play to their strengths, which is what I feel is missing from our team a little at the moment.

I just think their outs might've actually worked in their favour, and inadvertently sorted out St Kilda's biggest issue over the last few years, which is a general lack of work rate and consistency.

King & Membrey are decent forwards, but they have never made for a functioning forward line. Steele is a gun but his absence has made them much less defensive in there almost by accident. And not having players like Long (traded), Jones (injured), Billings (injured) and Gresham (injured), who are/were all frustratingly inconsistent and unreliable, has forced them to turn to other more blue collar players who are on their last chances and playing like it - Stocker, Cordy, Caminiti, and Wood.

So it'll be interesting to see what he does when he has more cattle to work with and has to start making decisions between the experienced names and the unlikely suspects who have gotten them to 4-0.

I recall hoping we'd go after him last year. At the time the extent of my knowledge of him was that he had some professionalism issues. Man, has it descended since...

Not entirely sure how North retain him after this, given it's happened while he is already supposed to be undergoing a program for the threatening behaviour...

Side note, that fabled 2018 draft is turning out to be a bit of a fizzer compared to the expectations.

The swans and port are two sides that did well.

GC loses a point for losing Rankine.

Sydney allocation for Geelong game went in about 2 minutes this morning. Estimated about 200 or less tickets available. AFL Members with Sydney support weren't eligible. Bit stiff.

Gather round is cool. Things are buzzing. Come on down. I thought I'd share this.

Chequebooks, upsets and the Artful Dodger — inside the proud history of South Australian footy

From Barrie Robran to John Halbert, South Australia is a hotbed of footy talent that went largely unnoticed in the east. As the AFL heads to Adelaide for Gather Round, we look back at the best of the bunch.

They should've appealed. Now they're going to have 6 less possessions this week.
