Looks like the Bears have turned up instead of the hawks? Probably a better chance

we play a team here that uses that jumper design, at least it contrasts with everything.

this Saints-Crows match reminds me of teams struggling in heat and humidity at the Asian tournament too, yuck. bad footy.

massive bump on Clark leads to a broken jaw, that has to be loving painful.

Crows didn't score until the single digits of the second quarter, it was truly impressive.

I think the Saints have enough back in to not collapse like against Adelaide, but they also might just have a garden-variety whooping coming.

Either way I guess I’ll be watching.

:siren: Late fixture changes for two games tomorrow :siren:

St Kilda v Port Adelaide is now 1.45pm
Melbourne v Hawthorn is now 7.25pm

this allows both Port and the Saints to fly out in the evening, Port back to Adelaide, and St. Kilda out to Perth to complete a full week in isolation before playing West Coast the following Saturday.

idk if it's the first time ive noticed it's been broadcast or it is indeed broadcast but a couple months ago fs1 and fs2 in america play afl games late night friday and saturday/sunday morning and i'm absolutely loving hooked, this poo poo is awesome

nope, it's bounced around but has been on FS1/FS2 the last couple years. The time difference can be tough but it's an awesome sport, and yes, the USAFL has the details weekly on game time/schedules.



we're a completely different side without both rucks in :smith:

Yeah it was a clear 50 by the current rules, but I think they need to tell the other team players to gently caress off out of the protected zone too.

Yyyyyep, that would improve things. Right now it’s almost too far to the attacking team.

On this question: Are any AFL players nutjob anti-vaxxers?

GAJ would have been anti vaxx coz he would have thought it against the word of god. But any other prominent players prone to that brand of conspiracy thought? I mean footy players are dumb as hell, so it's a big possibility.

Let’s hope not, but I’m going to imagine a couple pop up out of the woodwork. That’s basically how it’s gone in American and European sports so far. To see your future, watch anti-vaccination NFL players showing their entire rear end to the world :v:

Lions-Dogs is incredibly entertaining so far, but Brisbane losing their ruck to likely concussion is going to make things rough.

And if that last kick isn’t out on the full there’s a chance the Lions have a chance on goal. Unreal.

Port Adelaide v western Bulldogs is on, I'm assuming it's live? I haven't watched AFL in years but goddamn is Port Adelaide getting their rear end kicked.

They looked real good in third quarter but did gently caress all with the possession

Yep, this was live. For a spot in the Grand Final (aka the championship match) in a couple weeks. Port came in with expectations to do well but the Dogs ran all over them.
