I'm better than Stokes these days, completely fell off a cliff in his last year at Geelong.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Sickening head clash.

 

[Lewy69]

Soo... which defensive rookies did everyone go with for the fantasy comps.

I've got Dea and Tippawhataver on field. The latter will never play again so I might need to find the cash for Weitering.

Nathan Wilson (88), Clay Cameron who should get 60ish and Daniel Howe on the bench.

I still can't understand how Fox give King full reign on his strategic techno babble ramblings.

Prob because he rammed one of the good girls at Foxtel two years back

 

[Doctor Feel]

Hahaha mckernan, Goddard pointing intensifies

DID DWAYNE JUST CALL HIM TIPPING-WOOKIE!?

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I enjoyed the 113 point win over Brisbane in 2014. The only 'boring' demolition I can think of is the Saints game last year. I tried watching highlights from that game to get pumped for tomorrow but it didn't work.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Goddard is genuinely going to murder someone by about Round 10 this year.

 

[Alyx]

Essendon supporters now booing Ablett because of reasons.

 

[Far Kern]

They were pumping him up as one of the jewels in their commentary crowd the other night, I can truly say he's never pointed anything out to me that enhanced my footy knowledge.

Completely agree. One of the failings of the AFL, clubs and broadcasters generally is in their inability to explain the modern game to the KICK IT brigade. Kingy doesn't cut it I'm afraid. I'd love for Port to get proactive about this and to have someone like Timmy G doing weekly interviews with all and sundry at the club giving away last years secrets (stuff that all of the clubs know). Benny D and I have spoken about marketing ideas and he got me thinking. I definitely intend to discuss this with him next time we speak.

 

[LFC2010]

Essendon fans booing GAJ. Worst lot of fans behind Adelaide's.

Oh and McKernan is still a thug. Once a thug always a thug.

Any time Port Adelaide wins by 100+ is a magical dreamland of infinite love and wonder.

Lord knows we spurned a dozen or more such opportunities thanks to Chocoball.

Now its tipping-loogie

 

[Alyx]

Daniher trying to sidestep an opponent looks like a baby giraffe taking its first steps.

 

[Doctor Feel]

GC players having pings from wherever.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Is the fate of Zaharakis worse than those who took the injections? Would you rather sit the year out or front up every week for a belting?

I mean it is basically just a training session at this point, might as well work on your goalkicking when you're not going to be penalised for missing.

The AFL website has started the season in hot form

Our "bogeyman" is Sean Dempster, because.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Ablett out of gas.

The most unassuming least damaging player no one has heard of.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Camerons shoulder is ****ed. He did everything he could there to avoid contact to it.

The latter. Those who took them will be saying mea culpas for the rest of their lives, the suspension doesn't take the stain of cheating and/or gullibility away. Zaharakis's decision isn't a neutral one for his reputation, it actually enhances it. I'm probably overreaching to call him Essendon's Oskar Schindler but what the heck, that's what he is.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose a lot of players at the end of the year searching for greener pastures.

Stats rundown leading in to the last quarter of GCS v Essendon:

GCS top score: 148 v GWS R5 2013
GCS biggest win: 83 v GWS R23 2013
Most scoring shots: 43 v GWS R5 2013

All of these look feasibly broken if they don't decide to rest to avoid injuries.

They'll no longer be able to break their record for lowest score conceded, which was 51 v North Melbourne R11 2013.

***Smack***

And it's smack my bitch up.

Fantastic film clip.

 

[Andy_B]

GC's second half has been meh. if they weren't playing scrubs fc then they would probably be alarm bells.

after their first half they should be tracking for 100+ but now won't even kick their record for goals (22)
