Think I might take a leaf from The Gun, and venture into the Tiger’s board to tell them what changes they need to make with their list for 2020, and who to recruit.
Amazing how important and knowledgeable supporters think they are when their team wins a flag. Have received all types of advice from ‘learned’ Richmond and doggies fans since they won their respective flags.

Think it also says a bit about us, and obvious subservience/acceptance to being told by an opposition supporter in your own board.

Article on afl.com.au stating Delidio did his calf in the first quarter against the Dogs and it looks like career over.

Seriously, wtf, is wrong with the medical staff at that club? Why was he even playing when he carried that injury in to the game and to only last a quarter, shows he wasn't ready.

Imagine being Tomlinson and getting dropped for that.
Delidio has had calf problems for most of his career.

Not really relevant, im saying there med team are crap for rushing back layers who are injured or who are clearly not ready. Cognilio in is first game back from a knee injury, re injures himself, the club who thought Scully wouldn't play this year, the club whose injuries have seen it under achieve the last 3 years and the medical team who told Treloar he didn't need surgery, only when he moved to Collingwood they booked him in straight away.

They're bad.

For all the times the umpires handed the dogs games this year I expected more from them... such a shame the floppers are getting pantsed
A unique view of the game to be sure. We were just remarking how quickly and expertly and often GWS go to ground for frees. Not to mention sniping.

Don’t meet people who don’t like the dogs too often, congratulations.

It’s like he’s commentating his first match every week. Dumb as Dog shirt. Lucky his brother and father have made him money


Have you seen the movie Envy, where Jack Black made millions by inventing a Dog 💩 vanishing spray ? That movie and it's ridiculously absurd plot is still far more insightful and cerebral than anything Luke Darcy has ever said !!!
 
Went to the 2009 final up there and was surrounded by rugby converts cheering for Brisbane

“Great catch”

Terrible experience....

Ditto. Had Broncos fans pour their beers over us Carlton fans, threaten violence, etc. Some of it made the news. Genuine Lions fans were apologizing and calling them feral Broncos fans.
 
Does anyone else reckon the old McIntyre Finals system was better/resulted in better quality finals overall ie 1 v 8, 2 v 7 etc ?

Yes. 1999 can not happen again under the current rules and I think the game suffers for it.
