Bayley Fritsch with a set shot, 30m out on a slight angle to win the game after the siren, with scores level, which he miskicks and spears into the back of Goddard's head, who didn't see it coming as he was busy remonstrating with Saad, Hooker, and Zaharakis all at the same time

Melbourne are completely broken. I feel like talent keeps us in games but dumb mistakes and horrible structure and gameday coaching means we're nowhere near finals ready.

Hang on. If you are kicking a ball in that went OOB on the full and you also kick it OOB without the ball ever entering play why the gently caress is it a throw in? That's loving stupid.

I wish Melbourne really sunk the boot in so there’d be some real pressure on the bombers to change whatever they’ve been loving up since the end of last season

Turns out that the Bombers have a soft midfield and did absolutely nothing to fix it.

That doesn’t help but the only big bodied mid we lost was Watson who did gently caress all and was slower than a wet week. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic climb up the ladder but they should at least be a top 8ish side like last season.

I loving hope we get Setterfield post season or Clarke steps up

Cotchin has somehow been given three frees for things that clearly should have gone against him. It's hosed.

Gonna go ahead and say that we can compete for a premiership this year. That was a pretty good win.

e: Hurn is having a career year as well, finished atop the player ratings yet again

Both sides can take positives out of the game, unfortunately for us Walters did a medial, so will probably be out for a month.

I think having a more mcg like ground at home will end up helping both the WA sides at the pointy end of the season (I think Freo might sneak in the 8 if we can keep Sandi on the park while Darcy is getting himself right).

Also dunno why the Dockers shaved a dwarf from Lord of the Rings and let him loose on the football field this year.

Ballantyne has been playing for at Freo for 10 years now :confused: :v:


Pearce was the player I was most excited about seeing play this year, he was just starting to really show how good he can be just before he broke his leg the first time.

Conversation on 360 about congestion. Chatting about reducing teams to 16 a side and I don't mind it.

Less congestion, smaller lists required, more concentrated talent pool for the AFL.

I think it’s better than nearly every other suggestion, which are aimed at fatiguing players and will just result in a lower quality game and more athletes being drafted.

16 a side works for the women...

It is probably the only serious rule change i'd implement, 16 a side and uncapped rotations and 6 on the bench no emergencies.

I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
Lets just make the grounds smaller as well.. say 120meters long and about 50 or so wide.. Perhaps remove the point posts so its easier to remember the scores.. actually making those sherrins is kind of a pain in the rear end as well so probably easier just to make it round... If we focus more on certain skills only we could increase it.. so perhaps no more handballs at all? Kicking only! Also tackling the man is pretty dangerous so maybe only with your feet.. and only at the ball.. yeah probably for the best. Whilst we're at it drinking some lead based paint sounds like a good idea too... whatya say boys?

You'd still need emergencies to cover any late injuries/withdrawals.

Turns out that raid on Mark Thompson's warehouse loft turned up nearly 1kg of mdma, 33g (grams, not miligrams) of Ice and a tablet of LSD with his DNA over the packaging.

Worth around $450k on the street, he'll be going away.


The second essendon drug saga continues.
