Ground dud

On a positive, how good has Sharman been. Surely it’s time to give him a good run next season. Sharman probably our best but we went out with a whimper ... He wasn't in the top ten of the ground and is a dud once the ball hits the ground. He is as slow as wet week. RoMa was BOG by a mile.

Max King needs to be off loaded whilst he still has AFL currency. Dropped marks are one thing, but you can't have a player who just stands there and watches his opponent run down the ground. If he's not fit - get him off. Been held in contests. Should have had 4 frees. One free, but that doesn't st...

Well, this will do, won't it? I imagine most posters are at the ground.

No, just edit the thread name to The Match Thread.

Pathetic effort with his last shot. Once the ball hits the ground, he's useless - so he has to mark the ball.

Not being an emergency, I hope Anthony wasn't out on the beers last night. Then again, he's only 19, an age where the body is still very forgiving. It seems the AFL have given permission for him to play.

The media debate on this sort of incident continues to alienate me, as does some of the commentary on here. All I can hear is the same old crap that was thrown around when Giascura jumped up and elbowed Kosi in the head back in 2006: after which Kosi was never the same player again. You know what I...

I was watching Errol Gulden last night. Not only can he kick the ball well (but only on his left, he slices it as a get out kick instead of going to his right), he has an uncanny ability to spot players on their own - in an instant. On the other hand, most players can't - like Blake. There was a tea...

High Contact, high impact, reckless, Collingwood player = no case. Really, Maynard chose to jump straight into Brayshaw, and by launching himself into the air which guaranteed that the hit would he high and hard. He also hit him with his shoulder. Brayshaw was in the act of kicking so had no chance ...

Not only terrible for him but for us to.

Bedfords often missed. Their brakes weren't too good either.

Three holes in the ground.

GWS are now favourites ($1.80).

The usual suspects have completely misinterpreted the OP and the ABC report. It's not an issue of other people wanting to know what a person's sexuality is, or people being forced to reveal their sexuality, it's about a person being able to express their sexuality openly (if they wish) without discr...

My understanding of the commitments made between the AFL, the MCG and the state government relating to the funding of the reconstruction of first, the Northern Stand (2002), and then, the Southern Stand (2018), is that all Victorian finals will be played at the MCG, with the possible exception of th...

Officially announced as Saturday 9th September at 3.20pm at the MCG.

Who feels confident regarding a win? We beat them in round 10 in Sydney… Sinclair had 37 touches NWM, Marshall, Steele, Stocker and Wood our best King kicked 4, Higgins 3 and pairs to Butler, Sinclair Whitfield, Green and Conglio the best for the home team You would have to think that we are better...

Still no official announcement from the AFL on Finals that I can see. My guess is that they were going to be announced via Sportsbet but the new GM had other ideas.

What's going on? Has the AFL overruled Sportsbet?

Friday night, but with the roof "open", but 14 day forecast has it a clear night. ATM, we are favourites with the bookies.

Carlton are complete rabble. They don't look like scoring.

Looks like we'll be playing GWS in Sydney!

And if Sydney wins and GWS wins by 7 goals, then we get to play Carlton at the MCG. And I think we'd be in with a pretty good chance in that game. So nothing to get too bothered about IMO. TBH, I reckon GWS is the team I'd be least keen on us having to play ATM. And if we won that, we would play th...

I don't regard it as a "win" simply because we will probably have to go interstate for our final. But, we did better than most thought we would - including me. Just how much of a difference Max will make we will see in a couple of weeks. It was necessary for Hayes to have a game. He stays ...
