Eh? He's soft and will be 29 next year. You've got the saints next week so I'm sure he'll be able to keep up the old average.
What are you talking about?

Just coz I'm crediting a good side which many can't do here for some reason doesn't mean I go for the crows. Some of you lot are precious when it comes to that lot. Maybe it's coz I'm from Melbourne I don't know.

29 is nothing these days by the way.

So if his mobility falls away at 30-31 like most do, what has he got left?

I'm torn.

I want him to leave for the lols but I also want him to stay for overs and spud it up

Mate I hope he leaves. Would be hilarious. Players are leaving in droves at that joint, credit to them though they are playing through it. We are the opposite.

Crows fans are really a pathetic bunch of flogs... booing the umps cause eddie didn't get a free kick while the gws player lays ko'd on the ground.

classless!!!
That player was clapped when he got up. Booing was for the umpire as it should've been a free kick as the Giants player made an unrealistic attempt at the ball and was all over Eddies back. You lot carry on as if you're morally superior. It's like you've never been to one of your own games before lol.

Those boos, regardless of intent, should have stopped the moment the player wasn't moving. Didn't like it when I was watching it. I agree on the unrealistic attempt call, but the drone of boos looked really average while the GWS medics were tending to Kennedy.

Except only became unrealistic when eddie stopped, propped and then dropped his shoulders when he felt contact causing a tunneling situation by taking out the legs of him putting the GWS player in a serious and potentially dangerous position.

Classic description of a tunneling technique from Betts:

Soulless start up franchise ala West Coast and the crows trying to masquerade as a joint venture between the WAFL's South and East Fremantle. Who are they even trying to kid?
Surely that is better than just outright acting like a soulless start up franchise? Freo have been a mixed bag over the years but at least they make an effort to resemble a proper football club. The difference in the culture among their supporter base is chalk and cheese to West Coast's. Everyone in WA that doesn't support either Freo or West Coast prefers Freo for that very reason - they feel more like a real football club.

It was tunneling? Clear as day. You have no idea of the rules as well. It's freighting

Saw about 3 people clap and the rest sit there with there 80s old women haircuts laughing to be honest

Is it a Adelaide crows thing to wear hats to a night game? My god they are embarrassing..

In that shot there the average age of that supporter group is about 60. I'm so glad we'll always have that over their fans.

GWS turning into a solid jekyll and hyde team.

As home team. +290 points.
v Geelong(w), Port(w), Hawthorn(w), GC(w), Western Bulldogs(w)

As away team + 16 points.
v Melbourne, Sydney, St Kilda(w), Fremantle(w), Adelaide


So they've beaten 3rd, 5th, 6th, 10th, and 15th comfortably at home who have 28 wins between them and beat 12th and 18th away from home who have a combined 4 wins (4 and 0).

Let me guess, Pykelet is going to ask the AFL why it wasn't a free a demand an explanation?
