Why did you pick the blues, do you have a crystal ball?!
This round my tips were
Dogs
Crows
Hawks
Brisbane
Bombers
Blues

I was so shit last week I figured what did I have to lose and I thought
Freo are shit away from home
Bombers are good at Etihad and I thought the blues having been playing pretty good while losing and Giants haven't been that flash away from home

Not as happy as st kilda who just got the second pick in the draft!!!

Let me guess "who cares, they will probably select someone like maccartin or billings, so them getting pick 2 makes no difference"
Half a season left, dildo.

Do you have a team you actually support?

Carlton seriously a great chance of winning this and locking Hawks into 17th!!
Doesn't matter. Low draft picks are overrated anyway just look at Jack Watts
Besides JOM will be a 10 year multi-Brownlow medalist for us just look at the positive signs so far
It was impossible to predict we'd slide down the ladder this year anyway
Oh and we recruited Tom Mitchell for pick 14 which was unders so that balances everything out
Its also perfectly fine for a grown man to carry his cat around in a backpack

Okay that about covers it.

Your St Kilda team hasn't won a premiership for over 50 years.

Why don't you go back to the Saints forum and wallow in their crapulence?

How about "it's done and no amount of moaning about it is going to change it"?

I wouldn't assume that everyone with Hawks as their team on BF loves the club
Hard to tell with some Gralin. Questioning the club is one thing, rubbishing it, staff and players is another. And, when you're critical of decisions/mistakes the club has made, and everybody makes mistakes, it would help your argument if you were to offer an alternative, and just posting hindsight doesn't cut it.

How do you maintain all your accounts pretending to be a supporter of 18 different teams? must get tricky when you post in the wrong club page, which you have done a few times in here.

so Greg Denham has just said on SEN that the AFL telephoned Ireland a couple of days after the grand final to apologise for the umpiring as a review of the game showed that incorrect or non calls cost Sydney four goals - the grand final

This outburst from him came about because he was comparing Longmire not complaining about the umpiring compared to Clarkson's comments after Saturdays game

I don't see how calling Ireland after the fact makes it all okay and tbh I don't know why you would even bother doing it.

Would you prefer Clarko not saying anything at all on the day and instead receiving a phone call two days later saying we're sorry

The mistake in your post is to admit that you listened to SEN radio!

At its best, it's a load of rubbish, catering to dimwits.

I wouldn't like to think what it is at its worst!

Living in WA I rarely get to listen to it. I was just surprised that Denham named names rather than "my source"

When they first started SEN radio, for a while it was mostly serious football discussion and information.

However, they probably found that didn't rate very well, and eventually it ended up as lots of hyperbole and rumour.

As for what Denham said, it's probably partly true but greatly exaggerated. Clarko has a target on his back and they're lining up to pot him.

And Denham is another print journalist turned "expert" but he's still an idiot.

Sensationalism and controversy gets callers and listeners which leads to ad revenue. It's always about money.

After match news conference.
Q. So 'coach' what did you think of the umpiring today?
A. Well, as you know, I can't possible comment on that. The umpire have a difficult job and they do the best they can. On another topic entirely did you see that other not related sporting contest recently? The umpiring of that sport was complete sh*t. What were they on? The team on the receiving end was totally screwed over by the umpiring. There needs to be an investigation! Next Q?

"Look, I'm not allowed to comment on the umpiring ... but I spoke to a mate and he said it was rubbish."
