General AFL Thread

They'd both be in Perth. The prelim in Melbourne thing was a one off 10 years ago because the AFL had to play a certain amount of matches at the G and hadn't met it yet.

Thanks mate.

 

[hayes]

C'mon Melbourne you useless pustules.

I came in here to say "blow the siren" as Gus Brayshaw was lining up for goal from 45m out on a 45deg angle and I expected he'd at least score, but of course he put it OOF!

The tank is certainly on today... How was Hogan not making the distance from 35m?!

**** you Melbourne you hopeless soulless excuse for a club

I've seen more people watching a primary school game of marker's up.

 

[aussierulesrules]

BLOW THE SIREN!!!

Go Dees you good things, I always believed in you!

Off topic but doesn't it annoy you when you hear people call it "Jack in the pack" or other names.

Marker's up all the way!

 

[hayes]

Tank back on, were getting too far in front.

To be fair, I had never heard it called 'markers up' in my life until I was about 20 years old (I'm currently 34)

 

[hayes]

Then Grimes conveniently drops the ball in front of a superstar forward. Get stuffed.

 

[Rors]

Been impressed with Jelly, who's not the biggest bloke going around, really sticking his tackles.

Would be useful in RW&B

 

[God Save Max King]

I just know this is going to curse them, but... the Dees currently lead the Giants by 8 points, 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter. Go Dees!

 

[Kildonan]

I didn't want to pre-empt the result either, but it would be nice to have one thing go our way

 

[Flandersss]

Go Dees!

 

[God Save Max King]

Jesse Hogan is the best young prospect in the game.

 

[KingLonie]

Jesse Hogan is the best young prospect in the game.

+1. He is going to be a freak of the competition for the next 10 years

 

[KingLonie]

****. Daniel Cross carried off in a stretcher in his farewell game. Courageous till the end

 

[Kildonan]

Very nice of Melbourne FC to exchange draft picks with us - gives us pick #5

 

[aussierulesrules]

Bloody ripper, now all we need is for the Kreuz to re-sign with Carlton and we're in business.

 

[Rors]

20 seconds left, Collingwood down 92-95, ball kicked inside 50 for the Pies, Hooker gets hit across the head by his teammate in the pack, ball spills off the pack, Collingwood player crumbs, umpire blows whistle & pays free kick for high contact to Hooker......

Umpires, open your ****ing eyes & stop ****ing guessing!

 

[TassieSaint]

Interesting that Melbourne have finished above us two years in a row, but I reckon consensus among neutral fans would be that we're in better shape.

They probably have a few more players in the right age bracket that are able to contribute better than us, e.g. Jones, Vince, Howe, Garlett, Dawes (as maligned as he is), Gawn etc.

Long term I would have us slightly ahead, more so on our depth, but we aren't as far ahead as some on here would like to make out IMO. We've also yet to see Petracca for Melbourne. They should be a good team going forward if they can fix their culture issues. But that is a big if.

Yep, that was a bit yuck

The difference is really only 1 solitary score (vs Geelong), even when we put the cue in the rack after the Geelong game and copped 2x 100 point beltings we still finished with a higher percentage. Sure they may have our number in terms of individual talent, but they are majorly lacking in heart and cohesiveness.

“You’d prefer not to hear the noise (about players allegedly leaving),’’ McLachlan said.
“But I’ve got faith in the Brisbane administration. They are building a culture and a club from the bottom up so it is a place where people want to play their footy.
“There’s been talk Brisbane are looking at using that high draft pick to get Josh Schache who wants to come to the Lions so that is also encouraging.
