Thought this would be fun

Post: # 1307197Post SainterK »

Saw this elsewhere, and thought we could pass the two weeks until the Saints play....

Matthew Lloyd put together some questions (yeah I know, I'm not a fan of Velvet either) but they actually would be good ones for everyone to answer...

THE QUESTIONS
1. The year's biggest reality check...
2. What we'll whinge about...
3. The moment we are reminded why we love the game...
4. Apart from Essendon, the issue the AFL can't spin is...
5. Surprising Sunday headline...
6. Last minute of the last quarter in the grand final, who's the hero of the day?

I'll have a go

1. Dwayne Russell is still calling football
2. Kurt Tippett playing finals
3. Sam Rowe debuting for Carlton
4. Etihad surface
5. Brendon Goddard successfully severs contract with Dons
6. The umpire, for putting away the whistle

1-Losing to Essendon #9 BOG
2-As Above
3-When Nick takes a mark running back, or when Lenny crunches in, Armo sticks a big tackle, Stevie snaps a Beaty from the boundary
4-where do you start, draw being inequitable, GWS crowds
5-Bulldogs win
6-Jack Darling kicking #5 to seal win.....

1. The year's biggest reality check...
We go into our mid season bye @ 3 - 8
2. What we'll whinge about...
Could it be the umpires by chance?
3. The moment we are reminded why we love the game...
Newnes arrives as a genuine star in the making with a BOG 25 touch, 2 goal performance
4. Apart from Essendon, the issue the AFL can't spin is...
an even draw & subsequent fair competition
5. Surprising Sunday headline...
"Collingwood call for Marquee fixtures to be shared by all clubs"
6. Last minute of the last quarter in the grand final, who's the hero of the day?

1. The year's biggest reality check...

The Saints sitting at 2-2 after four rounds will be pretty scary.

But bigger than that will be Franklin failing to sign for the Hawks and moving elsewhere - that will show that the true power in the game is transferring across to the players.

2. What we'll whinge about...

Definitely free agency as more and more players fail to re-sign during the year. Also umpiring standards and rule changes, obviously. The interchange thing for sure, even though it won't cause the entire game to collapse.

3. The moment we are reminded why we love the game...

Round one, game one, surely?

4. Apart from Essendon, the issue the AFL can't spin is...

Players being idiots off the field. It's only going to get worse.

5. Surprising Sunday headline...

Suns Cement Finals Spot With Big Win

6. Last minute of the last quarter in the grand final, who's the hero of the day?

1. When Tippett kicks 10 goals in his first game for the year while Sydney already sits on top of the ladder.
2. How the premiership team got a 10 goal player for nothing and we help pay their cap.
3. When we see Goddard in tears when the Saints beat the dons by 100 points.
4. Why the AFL doesn't seem to have any control over the game they administer.
5. Mick Malthouse caught sharing peptides with James Hird in boozy late night "coaching clinic"
6. Steven Bakers dad runs on after Cloke scores the winning goal after kicking his 20th goal for the year -the clock runs down and the Pies lose. Footy fans pay to have a sculpture made of him outside the G.

Well it could be some kind of miracle this new pope pulls out to distract everyone from the s*** he needs to clean up. It might be the surprising sunday story too then.

Just to set things right, it was not Matthew Lloyd who put these questions together, that kind of thought process is beyond his capabilities.
The Sunday Age put the questions together and the answers were given by their footy team Jake Niall, Tim Lane, Matthew Lloyd, Andrew Tate and Leaping Larry.
Here's the full article
