Maybe leave Phill Walsh out of the pettiness

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Hey ... this is our chairman's second team you know ... you can't address them as filth!

Kochie did what he had to do, kissed their arse for a week. Port have the all time AO record that will never be beaten and we lost the four points.

Things that are good when you have a team playing like shit. Better crowds than the crows!

We seem to be morphing into them a bit.

Heaven forbid we ever go slumming to that level.

What you call pettiness some may call a deliberate and ongoing attack on our club that had been going on for decades. For our President to say he supports the Crows beggars belief.

So, the Crows have played the Gold Coast twice already and we haven't played them once. We've played Sydney twice, the Crows haven't played them once.

Based on our form this year, I am not suggesting that we would win twice against the Gold Coast however, how can that be fixture equality?

How can the AFL as a professional sporting code be respected when teams are gifted soft draws?

No one > Chad Wingard.

You wish you were him.

Freo and Richmond played 6 weeks ago

Horrid fixture

A guy rang in to 5AA this morning and made an interesting point regarding the draw. If they persist with this top 6, middle 6, bottom 6 fixture then those teams that have consistently been down the bottom will always play the weaker teams in less favourable time slots. Hard to attract major corporate backing if your constantly playing Sunday afternoons at Etihad with 25,000 people.

That really is an interesting point. It sometimes pays to play the bigger/stronger teams.

How good would it be if Fremantle got over the line here to spoil Chappy's 200th game.

Let's go Freo

 

[Janey]

Ah it feels good to hate that other mob again.

I never stopped.

At least the Crows finally play Sydney in Sydney next week.

 

[I Dont Care]

I never stopped.

Neither did I. I just stayed quiet for a couple of weeks

Richmond had more disposals, clearances and inside 50s in the first quarter but are 1.4 to 1.3 down.

 

[manureid]

Lol. Decapitate someone after they take a mark...50 metres, squirt water bottle at someones chest who is niggling you while you are taking a drink... 50 metres. If anyone was watching this game that had never seen it before they would wonder exactly what the fck was going on.

 

[simmo_bc]

after our draw in 2015, imagine if we finished 5th and for example, the crows finished 4th with their draw.

we miss out on a double chance but are obviously the better side.

I struggle to see how that is a fair and equitable outcome.

You know it's half time right?

Dangerfield will win the brownlow

Bloody hell Macstradamus. Stop it!

 

[mic59]

I am in agreement with higher placed teams having tougher draws but lower placed teams having easier draws is going to lead to priority pick-type tanking. A team will not even need to look like they are tanking(as Collingwood did when they got their priority pick) to get multiple games against lowly ranked teams. Hopefully the AFL are looking at what has happened and instead of the 6.6.6 system will use an 8.10 or 9.9 system. Any team will take one down year for a flag shot the next year. The problem with the current system is that the finals could include 4 or even 5 teams that get thrashed in the finals.

I don't have Foxtel and I've just found out that afl.com.au had crashed for a while.

Ah. Understandable.

I just bottled it up. But was let loose during the showdown.
