West Coast's song is far too heavy on trumpet and gospel singer.

… The only 'fair' system would be the NFL's, where every final is cutthroat, with a floating rankings system, but the AFL would never risk having an 8th-placed minnow shock'n'knock a moneyspinning powerhouse minor premier.

The NRL used to have this until one year when IIRC 8th did beat 1st and it made the whole finals series a joke. Was changed to mirror the AFL's soon after. At least the current system does favour the top two as you would expect. The whole MCG thing is going to disadvantage an interstate team regardless of the system. This has gotten worse since the expansion to 18 as the travel demands on the interstate team are staggering compared to the likes of Collingwood, who can get an Uber to all of their away games.

I never said better. I said ‘similar output’ for less money.

Has Preuss played much AFL? And didn’t we get Ladhams for much less?

And if we could get in a cripple division where we were up against st kilda carlton and gold coast.. like the Patriots every year.

Poor Freo suppporters having to put up with that shitty supporter base all week, and possibly beyond.

Imagine being Freo and have West Coast win their 4th premiership while you’re still on 0.

 

[Ports1870]

Just realised I didn’t have Collingwood or West Coast in my 8 going into the season.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Looking forward to seeing Goody ( for once)

Gawn is massively overated

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Dennis Pagan to hand Adam Simpson the medal?

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Not really just had a crap day with about 21 mates

 

[Sneeky]

Listen David king and all the flogs saying how unlucky people like Nic Nat and Gaff are not to be playing in the GF. Gaff knocked someone’s head off, he’s got what he deserved

Despite losing to WCE at the MCG earlier this year, I reckon Collingwood would be happier playing them than Melbourne in the GF

They didn’t stop stop stop though!

Kings a ****wit

Exactly. They would hate for their home ground advantage to be shared with the opposition.

King coached Gaff in HS,

Has his nose stuffed up Gaff's ass for about a decade.

 

[Contested Marx]

Exactly what I was saying earlier, no way i can go for them in the GF, nor Collingwood for the matter.

non event for me next week, not even going to bloody watch. I'll find something else to do.

When the wobbles were halfway through dismembering the tiggs I was thinking how I'm ok about the pies

Then the camera cuts to 'side by side' crowd and Laird Miwyon-Air and I hate myself for thinking of

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

If they win the flag it'll be a nice old thud back to Earth for Lycett when he rocks up on Queen Street.

 

[Janey]

Yeah it will definitely be good having a ruckman that has played in a grand final and could even be a Premiership ruckman.

Brady's Patriots versus,

AFC: 77.4%
• AFC East*: 79.1%
• AFC North: 83.3%
• AFC South: 80.6%
• AFC West: 63.6%

NFC: 76.5%
• NFC East: 81.2%
• NFC North: 87.5%
• NFC South: 75.0%
• NFC West: 66.6%

Mile High and Arrowhead, both AFC West, are incredibly hard places to play, but then so is Foxborough, so.

Imagine being Freo and have West Coast win their 4th premiership while you’re still on 0.

Imagine being me and having to live among these oxygen bandits whilst supporting a team that has become their Washington Generals like play thing.

Someone should ask him how Jamie Elliott, Alex Fasolo, Jarryd Blair, Ben Reid, Tim Broomhead, Matt Scharenberg, Lynden Dunn and Daniel Wells are travelling these days.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Hate the way the commentators talk up the losing team with comments such as
“They’ll be right in it next year” and “The future looks bright for them”.
Do they really have such short memories to have forgotten what can happen the year following a successful one?
i.e. Port 2015, Crows 2018..and how quickly Bulldogs slipped down the ladder.
They really do talk a lot of shit.
