No he was hunnnngry for a goal
Buddy wouldn't care, and would've done exactly the same had he been in Jake's shoes, as would've any other player. It's a team sport. Do best by the team, first and foremost.

Agree fully thought it was just a funny incident
Not going to read any past posts. Congrats to Towers and McHack for coming back to what's excpected of them, for where they where, now to back it up in the bye

I know that product placement is important but how likely is it that horse will drink 4 bottles of Gatorade during a presser?

Must be warm as piss too sitting there under the lights
How many bottles get wasted for appearances i wonder
Yeah, although if you turn the sound (and hence the annoying dicks in the commentary box) off, the pictures themselves are simple. Buddy gets a free, the ball is well forward, Jake picks it up, plays on and kicks an easy goal. Buddy smiles, high fives, back for a centre bounce, etc. Imagine if there was 3 points in it with two minutes to play?
Commentators make more of these things than really exist, IMO.
Most lighting nowadays is LED. Not hot anymore.
Lots of drinks get wasted though, I'm sure.

It was definitely Mitchells whose running was angling towards the goals and Rose towards the behind.

Heeney tackled well but a bit quiet last few weeks, maybe hurt? Bye will be good

Nope, I reckon Mitchell was behind Rose and should have shepherded.

I learnt that
Towers is of AFL standard, just needs to believe in himself, hopefully this is the breakout game
Rose has a place in our best 22, is very busy and makes things happen which opposition defenders don't like
Aliir looks to be on track, probably why he got a two year extension a while back
Mills is on his way to becoming a star, just all class even in shite conditions
Jones is getting there, loved his run and the exchange of stomach punches with big bro
Tippett will be missed on dry days against good opponents, Naismith needs to get a run soon
Depth is now starting to look ok, Foote BOG again in the ressies so probably a keeper and next to debut, O'Riordan looks to be a player, Newman continues to impress, looking good for the future
Harry who?

1. I genuinely have no idea what Towers is meant to be role-wise.
2. McVeigh is incredibly clean in the wet.
3. When we say Sydney aren't good in the wet what we mean is Sydney aren't good in a moderate amount of wet. A bit of moisture kills our handball happy game, wrecks our skills. However once there's enough rain to turn the whole thing into ridiculous slop where people can barely get a clear disposal let alone hit targets, enough rain that even putting it directly onto opponents chests isn't a terrible move because they usually drop it... at that point our sheer desire to grind and crash bodies and takes over.

I learned that Aliir Aliir, Dean Towers and Toby Nankervis all played statement games. They were impressive, but the statement's been made: They can play. Now it's about the consistency to back it up because it's looking likely that all three will be playing after the bye with Marsh and Tippett out, and Towers surely wouldn't be dropped after this game. If that's what they can do in the wet, can't wait to see how they perform in the dry.
Good thing is we were on top for pretty much the whole game without overly good games from Jack and Mitchell, and even Parker, Kennedy and Hanners kind of drifted in and out of the game. 86 points (with accuracy would have clocked over 100) in those conditions is very good, especially combined with the defensive stuff (155 tackles)

About Foote, what's his form been like? I mean aside from the BOG in the reserves, has he been nearing the kind of form/nailing his role enough to push for the seniors at some point? So so competitive right now though, with the players to come back in (Teddy, Reid, Talia, Papley, Tippett) and guys we know have a feel for senior footy (B. Jack, Marsh, Aliir, Towers), plus impressive kids yet to debut like Leonardis, Dawson etc. Always wondered how Foote fits into the equation.
disagree Mitchell had to kick around Rose to get the goal. Mitchell was selfish and should have slowed down and sheppard.
That would be the heat of embarrassment when he handpassed from out of bounds, I guess
That's how I saw it. Tom was in roses bling spot

are we gonna talk about how often we take for granted seeing Parker and Hanners getting broken in half and then getting back up? I always think Hanners is being OTT but then I realize it's actually a hell of a lot braver to stay on the ground and pick yourself up for the next contest than someone like Ballantyne who comes off for about 33 massages per game.
