Rough.

Kane Cornes isn't just a click baiting fl0g trying to keep himself relevant with over the top outlandish statements.... I think he actually believes the rubbish that comes out of his mouth and is genuine in his opinion.

Not unpopular opinion, most would agree.

Not AFL but I think Hamilton was long and boring

That Ben Keays and Darcy Parish are AA at the moment.

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

That the Docklands stadium really isn't the terrible, sterile venue that everyone makes it out to be. 🏟

THE MCG HAS GOT SOUL Enigmal

100% its a far superior stadium to the MCG.. The MCG unless it is 80% full is a soulless experience, and still its a poor viewing experience unless you are level 2 and on the wing.. At Docklands there is barely a bad seat in the stadium.

Harsh. I actually like going to Marvel. Not as much as the G, but it's usually a great footy experience nonetheless. I even go as an impartial supporter pretty often.

I think a lot about the MCG preference has to do with people wearing their nostalgia goggles. It's a great experience and I love the G, but you're right that if you're comparing the viewing experience Marvel is probably better.

Also having a roof is great if you want to go on a rainy day and not get drenched.

Richmond are not a particularly exceptional wet weather team. That myth has been busted several times in the last couple of years, yet dimwit footy media schneds continue to go there. We actually play our most commanding football when it’s a dry deck.

I prefer Fremantle's original jumper, to the current one.

The early years, were the best. I find it hard to warm, to this one.

 

[Scotland]

The newer Freo design is cleaner and simpler and overall a better footy jumper, but the original is more distinctive.

There should be 2 lots of benches on either sides of the ground so that you don't get caught out not being able to get on when the play is on the other side of the ground for a long period of time. How creative and how you regulate that I'm not too sure

The playing surface is rubbish though.

So when play is on other side of ground players have to run around half the ground to use the interchange gate on the other side?

I just love the original because it had green and proper purple in it. Not this fake dark purple almost looks royal blue rubbish. And where is the green now?

Gary Moorcrofts Mark of the Year is the most overrated highlight in history of the sport. The height at which the ball was grabbed was barely 8 feet high, and several times per normal AFL game a mark is taken that high. One short arse, jumped off the middle of another short arses back with outstretched arms.

As a comparison, if he were on a basketball court his hands barely touched the bottom of the net.

It was taken higher than 8 feet off the ground. Look at the side-on angle with #22 for the Dogs (Ben Harrison) as a reference point. Numerous sources have him listed at 1.91m and the ball looks to be another 1.2m or so higher than him. It's definitely taken at least 10 feet off the ground.

It's beside the point anyway because there's more that makes a mark spectacular than pure height.

Always thought Chris Tarrant's massive pack mark a week later was better, tbh.

Ask the ex-Mrs Hardwick; she has known him longest.

‘All’ players lining up for goal should throw the grass in the air like Matty Lloyd did.
