No one can beat bwuces

"You get a feeling the next goal is important? Don't you"
I was glad he wasn't there last night. If it'd been him instead of Dennis, you'd only need to add Dwayne Russell and I'd be convinced the impending apocalypse had arrived. Basil Zempilas was ordinary as well. When Fyfe took the mark in the first:

"I guess you could say that, given the person he jumped on, that Fyfe got... MILES high... because he got really high in the air and the person he jumped on to get there was Anthony Miles. His surname is a large unit of distance. I was so subtly hinting that Fyfe jumped super high in the air and spotted the spur of the moment opportunity to make an incredibly perceptive pun. You're welcome."

The man gave birth to his first pun on air and was the proudest daddy in the world.

I hate Basil's commentary; but the his puns are quick and on point most times. When Fyfe took the mark he yelled "High Fyfes all round"... I grinned a little at that.

Bruce can with:
*guy runs about 10m* "OFF A STEP..."
and then the eventual "Off that step"
"OFF THAT STEP AGAIN" ad nauseam

Noticed Dennis and BT have started dropping off a step bombs too.
Both Bt an Dennis are awesome on MMM as well which l listen to religiously , it's like they get muzzled by 7

Hopefully this idea never comes to fruition.

Lately the AFL seem so reactionary towards any media criticism, it has me worried about the long term respectability of the game. There is no simplicity to anything they do nor is there any real transparency. Rules apply to some, and not the others, for example they have a priority pick available based on criteria that the public aren't allowed to know.

They want the competition to be more equal, yet they are trying to re-establish arbitrary zones that most observers of our games history acknowledge contributed towards the very uneven dominant eras in the 70's and 80's. I don't understand it.

The Northern Academies are a great, and I refuse to believe that the development pathway in Victoria is worse, you have kids playing in strong suburban leagues, kids receiving scholarships to play at private schools, the TAC cup, all while being in the heartland of the game where a majority of coaches and ex-players live. They AFL needs to completely fund the academies and segregate them from the clubs, but require clubs to offer facilities and coaching expertise. The clubs will know the most about the kids that train with them and play in their local leagues and more likely than not will pick those kids. It happens with Geelong and West Australian players quite often, as it is just common sense.

It seems ridiculous to accentuate the disadvantages in the competition by allowing clubs with much more money in areas where a much larger majority of the kids already love and play the sport to start their own academies.

I don't understand why there isn't an U19 competition where everyone who isn't drafted is eligible to be selected

So you can build an under 19 side from kids who weren't drafted therefor further developing more kids for afl level

Sucks to see such a great career (likely) come to an end like that. But I reckon when Garry saw Judd's reaction after going down, he quietly smiled to himself.

Despite wishing Carlton a long stay at the bottom I also liked the fact that they stood up and nearly got the win off Adelaide. Every bottom 4 side has shown that if they are on they can steal a win, which is a great thing for the competition. Hopefully the lesson in Richmond's win over Freo is not lost on our players either.

Going to Essendon Geelong tonight, it is nice to enjoy a game without worrying about the result. ManWithNoName who should I tip?
Probably my 2 most hated teams in 2015. Essendon for obvious reasons, Geelong for the Clark factor (although that's cooling a bit) and Stevie J/Selwood annoying the shit out of me with their antics.

I think I'd rather see Geelong win and I think they will.

Must say I'm a bit of a fan of BT, once you realise he's just a huge troll and hates working at Ch7 he's bearable
I know its unpopular on this board but I like the footy show
/MMM style of humour

Maybe I'm basic but I hate the way the other platforms take IT too seriously
