Brisbane are by far the best side this year daylight above everyone.

If Brisbane make the GF and it’s held in Perth I would back who ever they are playing to win.

LOL WHAT WAS THAT MUSIC?

Did a metalhead sneak in to the channel 7 production?

Nah. No-one has played better than West Coast did last week.

You know how occasionally we discuss the rise of athletes as footballers rather than footballers? Well it's the same for umpires. The bounce is demonised for being an unnecessary act that prevents good umpires from making it, but the fitness requirements are just as obstructive.

There should be five umpires: 1 centre/main; 2 arcs; and 2 pockets. The field is too big. Make it a crew, so they are able to know each other.

The biggest problem is feel for the game imo of course they try to all of a sudden develop it around finals time and are less trigger happy.. that there is even a notion that they put the whistle away at the business end tells you all you need to know about their professionalism & the AFL itself.

Channel 7 Footy music guy needs a raise, imo

Essendon are actually ahead on Inside 50s... while being 1/3 of Brisbane's score.

AFL copies the worst of the NBA and the worst of the NFL on top of its VFL parochialism. It's a case worth of a study.

It was helmet, best music ever played in a AFL game.

Adelaide couldn't even beat this rabble at home.

 

[charcolechaddy]

Lakers, port and rabbits.

what a start to the weekend.

Collingwood had the majority of their defense and mids out.

 

[JimmyBC]

Bellchambers doing the choppy on his own teammate lol sums up their night

West Coast were trash away from WA, Brisbane are a complete unknown away from QLD, and we wet our shorts at Adelaide Oval. This year the flag race is such a turkey shoot.

There's always talk of trialing boundary and goal umps to make calls.

Will Brisbane travel at all?

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

How the **** was that not HTB against the Blow

 

[philthy05]

I feel like adding more umpires just increases the amount of idiots on the field to make wrong calls

Goal umpires have become spineless since the review system came in probably not a great idea.

It's a risk. That's why there should be crews. It helps establishing consistency.

Maybe not! Surely the AFL must start looking at sending them away for a bit. Otherwise maybe only if they have to play a final in WA or SA?

I'd rather chance it playing them at Metricon.

Nah then you'd have the Razor Ray Crew & they'd get ankle tatts and think they were the shit.
