Man the bow and arrow is tired come up with something else Duurs

 

[HugeJohnson]

To be fair on Wazza, I've bumped into him a number of times around the GC, & yes he can be a bit of a dick.

But seriously, he's a good bloke, who always stops to say hi, chat or selfie.

He probably just had a few to many happy cans on the day.

This is just the AFL being in all it's wokeness.....

Wonder what would of happened if the shoe was on another foot?

I hate the AFL as much as the next bloke, but I can't agree this time. The bloke is an A-grade flog, clearly lost his way on drugs and just seems like a flat out pig. Having seen first hand through someone in my family this exact same behaviour I don't feel sorry for him in the slightest and sincerely hope he can get his head straight, but unfortunately I feel he is too far gone.
No idea how Ben Cousins has turned it around, and it remains to be seen if it lasts, but that is someone who seems to have woken up a bit and deserves a fifth chance. But I think there's no saving Cappa

Wait... was that Dante sitting in the crowd then while Vigo was going off injured.

 

[all seeing eye]

Caddy is seriously good.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Operation: Vigo Visentini (Target Acquire)?

 

[Acemanjam]

Yes

Essendon for all their injuries and 11 debutants this year, they have 9 guys who have played less than 50 games in tonight's side, I think they have 7 who have played less than 30 games, they aren't that much younger and less experienced than Freo.

Ess average age 24 yrs 1 month average games 75.5
Freo average age 24 yrs 6 months average games 84.4

Freo are 2 or 3 years from peaking.

Fyfe turns 34 in September and probably is cut then. They started him tonight after 2 games in a row as sub.

Pearce is missing he turned 30 last week, Walters is missing, he is on his last legs he turned 34 in January, O'mera is missing he turned 31 in February and Switkowski is out with a bung hammy and he is 28 and 7 months. Hayden Young

is missing and he is 24 and 2 months.

So many of their star players are in that 24 to 26 age group.

Did we give a bloke a day off training, potentially two, to fly back and forth to Perth and watch his brother play, two days before our own game?

They really are good people down there!

You only get one debut I guess.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Vigo hard at it like Dante.

He probably is on the red eye to Melbourne tonight and should be back in Adelaide by about 8am.

I wouldnt have any problems with that, ever. Its the biggest day in your brothers life ffs.

I couldn’t imagine missing a day or two of work to get on a plane to see a sibling start a new office job after a promotion.

Would get banned for life in the afl

Not quite an office job

Yeah man, playing the national sport at the highest level is exactly like starting a job as an actuary.

 

[Steve Dore]

Wait... was that Dante sitting in the crowd then while Vigo was going off injured.

He's at the game so highly likely. He was in the Essendon rooms pre-game.

Perhaps start pointing your finger at the AFL when it comes to using illicit drugs, instead of one individual being a benny on a day out that retired over 2 decades ago

Yeah no-one can imagine that because it's not the same thing.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

15.3 for Freo. When was the last time we were that accurate converting shots on goal??

 

[Doctor Feel]

Essendon are breathtakingly shit. I'm glad we lost to them.

Their capacity to draft the most vanilla players in a draft is really quite astounding
