General AFL thread 2016

[Hayes4PM]

They've clamped down on him in the last 10 minutes but he must be up to at least 15 or 16 touches anyway

Geez the Doggies get a good run with the Umps in both the AFL & VFL...

 

[CHBench]

The Dogs are having the most charmed 4 weeks ever.
The amazing success of the Womens game, underdog wins x 3, VFL Flag.

Seriously it's the kinda thing that becomes a turning point in the history of a football club. Geelong 2007 like.

 

[sammm]

Yeah really! Im all for high fiving ect but when your basically in tears carrying on like you've won the big dance i think thats a bit much.

Syd by 40p

they haven't been in a grand final since 1961, no wonder they were crying.

i am sure they will be on track today

Like i said by all means celebrate the win but bring it down a notch. Keep your eye on the prize. Im happy they made it.

 

[sammm]

I don't know how to feel.

Dogs to beat us to number 2 or for them to prove smaller clubs are relevant?

Dogs beat us to number 1, maybe this will be an omen that we get to number 2 quicker

Na Bevo has some pills that can fix that.

Probably will call it low impact and in play, can't see the tribunal ruling Wood out of the GF.


Also just going to leave this here for entertainment purposes...

Sorry 12Chill, dont want to be a killjoy but I don't find Hitler amusing in any way. Too close to home. Some things just don't translate to humour.

Apologies mate, the whole "chuck your own subtitles in this movie scene" is a bit of an internet sensation and has been done many times but I can absolutely see the flip side of it. I can remove the video from the thread if you want mate.

i don't want to be the fun police, but I suppose many people are justifiably sensitive about it. My sister's mother in law was in Auschwitz as a young girl and I visited there a few months ago...definitely was not a laughing matter.
However, I know you didn't mean any harm by it, so no apologies necessary. It's always an awkward situation and I did debate whether I should say something or not.

If you cant laugh at or make fun of Hitler then the terrorists have already won.

some people can laugh and some people can not. my family went through the holocaust. the only survivors was my father and my grandmother becuase he got out of poland on the last ship before the holocaust and the rest of the family perished.

please change the subject.

Hitler was not a terrorist...he was an evil, maniacal, genocidal monster responsible for the systematic murder of 10 million people, 6 million of whom were Jewish. I doubt you'd find any Jew, homosexual, Romany gypsey or communist at the time laughing at anything to do with him. If you haven't ever done so, I would suggest you visit the Holocaust museum in Elsternwick if you live in Melbourne.

No one laughs at terrorists either, but what you should do is continue to live your life without fear, by travelling, going out and refusing to let them change your way of life.

He was also responsible for the death of almost 30 million slavs during the invasion.of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
This is little known and does not detract from the attempt to exterminate Jewry and other 'undesirables' in that race war.

Travelling through central Europe last year I was struck by how many cities had a Jewish quarter but no or hardly any Jews.
This is 70 years after the war.
Hitler might be a bit of fun with Hitler memes etc and he should be mocked. But hw and Stalin and Mao are mo laughing matter historically

Sneaky chance for top 5 for sure. He'll get the 3 votes in 4-5:games.

Roo is my dark horse for top 5.

He's a chance for 3 votes in the following games: (in brackets the player who might take the 3 instead, but personally I feel he was best on for all of them)
W r3 vs Collingwood: 30 disposals, 3 goals, 6 tackles, 5 inside 50s, 6 clearances (Montagna around the mark)
W r9 vs Essendon: 40 disposals, 1 goal, 4 tackles, 9 inside 50s, 10 clearances
W r10 vs Fremantle: 32 disposals, 1 goal, 9 tackles, 5 inside 50s, 6 clearances (Armitage around the mark)
W r12 vs Carlton: 25 disposals, 3 goals, 9 tackles, 10 inside 50s, 5 clearances, 6 goal assists
W r16 vs Essendon: 41 disposals, 1 goal, 12 tackles, 9 inside 50s, 12 clearances
W r18 vs Bulldogs: 39 disposals, 1 goal, 7 tackles, 2 inside 50s, 6 clearances

Also possible 1 or 2s in:
L r1 vs Port Adelaide: 36 disposals, 1 goal, 5 tackles, 8 inside 50s, 7 clearances (5 goal loss to Port, if the Saints get a vote it will be Steven or Hickey)
L r5 vs GWS: 30 disposals, 7 tackles, 5 inside 50s, 5 clearances (well in the game at 3QT but got blown out of the water in the last 10 mins, scoreboard didn't reflect the contest so a chance of a Saints vote)
W r6 vs Melb: 25 disposals, 11 tackles, 7 clearances (Will be up against Hogan and Membrey who kicked bags of 7 and 5, Acres 28 and 2g, Jones and Viney got 30)
W r14 vs Geelong: 25 disposals, 1 goal, 7 inside 50s, 4 clearances (big lsecond half and last quarter in particular when the game was there to be won)
W r17 vs Melb: 25 disposals, 6 tackles, 6 inside 50s (less competition for votes, Hickey beat Gawn, Membrey 4 goals, Vince racked them up, as did Viney but he only had 9 kicks, Stuv with 4th most possessions on the ground a chance for votes. Last year he polled 3 in a game with 22 disposals and 10 tackles (where Bruce kicked 6 from memory) so it wouldn't be unlike him to get more votes here.
W r23 vs Bris: 31 disposals, 1 goal, 4 inside 50s, 9 clearances (Roo kicked 9, Stuv likely to get 2 or 1)

20-22 is my best guess, definitely a shot for top 5.

Are you completely humourless?

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Mel Brooks a very talented and funny Jewish man spent a lot of his career taking the piss out of Hitler.
Dont think anybody laughs at Hitler in a fond way. Its all laughing in disrespect.

 

[Diehard Saint]

No, are you completely insensitive? I just don't find Hitler particularly humorous.
I dont want to derail a footy forum talking about this, just wanted to respond to two posts.

I take your point.
I didn't want to make a federal case out of it but in an open forum I felt I could give my opinion, much as others have done on non footy issues such as recreational drugs. Happy to leave it at that.
