You’d spray him with flea powder first. Even hempel from * looks like he’s bathed more recently.Yep. You'd give him some change if you saw him outside Flinders Steet station though.
Worst season ever ends with the best team winning. Not sure if that's vindication or not. But whatever the case, I hope footy is better in the next decade because Covid-19 or not, and well done to the AFL for getting something done, but that was 7 months of crap.
My belief is only Start Nullifying when your best troops are in the middle and aren’t cutting the mustard.Sacrifice needed by Cats last night.
Menegola. Everywhere Dusty goes you follow him.
I thought the game was alright actually. It was very good footy.It won't be.
The AFL have no idea how to intervene to create a more aesthetically pleasing game. Many pundits declare that the game is in a really bad way. I mean throwing is abundant, every team is going to play ugly serge footy. You only need to look at how often the ball is kicked off the ground. This used to be something that, sure, happened but was viewed as not preferred.
But none of that matters.
How many viewers watched yesterday? Heaps. Meaning it actually doesn't matter what the state of the game is people, lots of people, watch it. And that's what matters to the AFL because it's a business and the dollar rules.
I watched 1 final this year. Mainly because I wanted to see how Simmo went.
I'm at a point where if it's not North I don't care and how we've been playing is hardly compelling viewing.
On the main board GF thread there is a report that Scott asked Danger if he wanted to go into the middle and he said no.My belief is only Start Nullifying when your best troops are in the middle and aren’t cutting the mustard.
What was wrong with “Me-Time” Dangerfield that he couldn’t put himself in the middle? Put it down to his own selfishness or Scott’s stupidity! I’m going with the former...
Dusty lifted his team and turned the game. Dangerflog sat in the goal square trying not to trip over his bottom lip. That’s the game right there!
Agree with this almost 100%I enjoyed the game, it was wet and that goes someway to explaining the style played. yes the ball is thrown a lot and I wish they'd clamp down on that.
What impressed me was the way the Tigers went about it. Sheesh they know when to go the ball, when to back off, they rarely overcommit. Some of their field kicking was excellent and they keep their feet.
We could learn a lot from them.
Can't stand Geelong for oh so many reasons it would take me a month to post them all. Hope they do fall away next year.
Agree with this almost 100%
I thought the game was alright actually. It was very good footy.
That surge footy of Richmond's actually reminds me of us in the 90s in some ways. It's about the intent to get the ball, and game momentum going your way at all costs. I love the way the Tigers take every opportunity to attack.
It's frustrates the sh*t out of me that we don't do it at all, let alone at every opportunity.
And the AFL wonder why most people laugh at most of their awards:

PLAYERCARDEND
When we beat them in the 2015 EF and got close to a granny, you'd think, we're on the way up, a flag shouldn't be too far away. They didn't even make the finals the following year.
Now 5 years later, they've won 3 of 4 flags, we've missed finals the last 4 years, and are currently at rock bottom starting a complete rebuild.
Sigh.
Oh oh...

Into the history books it goes….
2.98m viewers watched Richmond win their third AFL Grand Final in four years last night -the biggest audience all year. Adding in regional viewers the numbers rose to 3.81m viewers. In Melbourne alone there were 1.58m viewers followed by Sydney at 413,000.
The first-ever night time Grand Final drew a phenomenal 65.8% share for Seven -the highest ever recorded since OzTAM began in 2001.
The primetime match contrast with 2019’s 2.2m which was the lowest metro audience for the Grand Final since OzTAM records began (2.94m with regional).
Hard to see them going back to a day GF especially with TV rights income plateauing.
Gil; " The 2023 Grand Final between North Melbourne and Fremantle will see the ball bounced to start the game at 1.10 p.m. This will give people time to shop in the morning and then get out for their afternoon walk "
It felt like just another game to me, except when Richmond switched back on late in the second. There was some passion there.It was a very good game. But from my couch over 1000km away, and throughout the whole week, it wasn't a great event.
It was a clear trial run for a night GF.
They’ll look at ratings numbers and that’s that.
All for the almighty $$$.
