Goddamn it I thought you'd gotten your source back when you popped up in my notifications.

I'm hoping it to change once the games start but I reckon I'll struggle to be invested with no crowds, weird fixturing and the cancellation of it all hanging over the season.

Goddamn it I thought you'd gotten your source back when you popped up in my notifications.

I also thought this.

AFL Footy Record is a free download:




It's structure with the insets for each game attached at the end, so you get:

Section 1 is the first half of the generic stuff (numbered as pages 1-24)
Section 2 is the second half of the generic stuff (numbered as pages 65-86)
Section 3 is all of the insets that are normally pages 25-64 that are different for each game are at the back.

If you jump straight to the middle of the document, you'll probably land on our front cover if you're looking from your browser. If you download it and your PDF reader assigns it's own numbers, then it's the 72nd page in the document.

Melts in 3, 2, 1...

 

[Kakkle]

No Phillips :/


That forward line might be one of the more heinous ones we've ever fielded.

Final Team

FB - Francis, Hurley, BZT
HB - Saad, Ridley, Redman
C - Langford, McGrath, Zaharakis
HF - Raz, Laverde, Smith
F - Stringer, Townsend, Tippa
R - TBell, Merrett, Shiel
Int - Parish, Snelling, Guelfi, Cutler
Emg - Gleeson, Ham, Phillips, McKenna

TBell yuck...

 

[andleanback]

Idiotic at best to play bellcho over phillips, who was great in the preseason. Shorter game time helps bellchambers, but he'll still struggle with zero match fitness and only joining in full training recently. Odd decision considering we have no tall forward and no 2nd ruck, would not be surprised if we got shown up.

 

[Fridge16]

Woosha on SEN saying Bellchambers is available for selection.

If he plays over Phillips I'm going into a 12 month quarantine...

This *ing club

 

[JT_the_Man]

I’m honestly just baffled looking at this tbh

Don't lie you have a boner

 

[eth-dog]

Feel like we're playing funny buggers. I'm not sure Phillips doesn't play.

Also Guelfi over Gleeson is bizarre

 

[Maxabillions]

Tbell in and no mckernan. So who is rucking when tbell is resting...? Tippa?

 

[eth-dog]

Don't lie you have a boner

I do rate that Cutler bloke

 

[eDPS]

Guelfi outperformed him in the pre-season and will be better suited to freos small forwards

 

[JayJ20]

TBC over Phillips. Seriously?

 

[eth-dog]

Guelfi outperformed him in the pre-season and will be better suited to freos small forwards

Well I disagree on both points. Guelfi struggled as a defender last year.

Eth may have to come to grips with Gleeson not being effective on smalls

 

[eDPS]

Well I disagree on both points. Guelfi struggled as a defender last year.

Of course you would

 

[eth-dog]

Eth may have to come to grips with Gleeson not being effective on smalls

Nah, because he is.

 

[JT_the_Man]

I’m more intrigued on why McKenna is an emg. Fitness?

 

[Ambrosia]

I think we should have played Philips but people did overrate his pre season. He was hopeless in the hit outs and was likely getting schooled at training by Bellchambers in that area.

 

[Halftimehero]

Phillips is a dead set battler, two ok performances in scratch matches won’t change that, he will never play ahead of
Bellchambers, ever.

 

[eth-dog]

Of course you would

Yes, hence the statement.

Guelfi played defence last year early and was poor. Then was more effective in the middle.
