AFL 2019 Round 9: West Coast v Melbourne, 6:10pm AWST Optus

[The Joker]

McDonald telling the umpire that he is outside the point post so he can be within the 10m zone. Umpire was fooled there!

 

[gavaniacono]

Dees having a crack. Like it.

 

[Rod Stroker]

The first buses start around 4PM smack bang in the middle of peak.

Only in Australia is 4PM "smack bang in the middle of peak".

 

[projectv]

Gawn is making Hickey look like, well, Hickey.

The first buses start around 4PM smack bang in the middle of peak.

Well im sure if Friday night games started at 610pm in melb, syd or adelaide there would be complaints and issues getting fans into stadiums. Feel sorry for perth fans. Really should be 3-4 double headers on friday nights each year. Remove a saturday foxtel only twilight game and make it a friday foxtel only night game at 750pm like other markets.

Anyway.

 

[HBF]

Well done Viney

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Petracca is such a disappointment.

Whoever said he kicks like a 5 year old really nailed it.

 

[BG__]

Petracca looks like he's going to shank it every time he has the ball in his hands

 

[Struggle]

Petraccas ball drop is hilarious for a non international recruit

 

[HBF]

Gotta punch from behind

 

[gavaniacono]

Petracca.
Looks a bull.
A bit of lamb.

 

[danielnajdek]

Don't mark it from behind punch the ball out of bounds.

 

[theyellowsash]

Eagles fans reckon rance never plays on key forwards, while McGovern runs around letting McDonald thrash a kid who should be up forward

 

[Crashy]

How do you get to this level and kick like Petracca, its embarassing

 

[gavaniacono]

Big Max big impact

So the second game would start ~10PM east coast time? Forget it.

Australian audiences (well those not in WA anyway), and by extension the broadcasters, would have a conniption if a sport scheduled that here, regardless of the fact it works just fine in the US even though they have an even larger time difference between coasts

 

[The Joker]

Yes Ling, his 'sixth' game of footy.

******* special comments...

 

[mxett]

Dees have been very good by hand

 

[Shane Heard]

Petracca...Jesus he is disappointing with his kicking at goal on the run. Moves like Darren Jarman ...but sure don’t kick like him.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Only in Australia is 4PM "smack bang in the middle of peak".

It easily starts around 2.30 these days.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

He actually lifts it to eye level before slamming it down randomly on his foot.

 

[theyellowsash]

Lol that was deliberate every day

 

[rhaz]

Has it been raining or is the Optus surface s**t?

So many players slipping over.

 

[projectv]

Melbourne should consider just running with the ball always, and not kicking it.

Would reduce their turnovers by a lot.
