It's not only the older supporters who are asking what frees are paid for. I watched the game with a bombers supporting mate and we both started laughing at times at how ridiculous the sport has become.

Agreed, I gave up on trying to decipher what was going on. Good luck getting to new fans Afl.
 
The first thing I noticed was Dusty's lack of interest. Even singing the song next to Cotch as usual, then he walked off straight after even though Cotch started talking to him, gave Carr a fist bump and kept on walking out of the room. Maybe just has had enough of the media and wanted to get away from the camera's? Worst part is, the more the media speculate, the more p15sed off he will become and the more likely he wants to get out of town. Hate the scum.
 
Because he is not meant to be playing in the twos, so he doesn't lift like other players do. fitness should not be an issue now. its all mental IMO.
Surely if he wants to play seniors he “lifts” in the seconds.
He has to show he deserves a go.

Been watching footy for a bloody long time and gotta say that was close to the worst officiated game of all time.
More than half the decisions had NO explanation.
Totally ratshit
This is part of a long term strategy years ago when AFL HQ stated that he wants Mothers not to fear their boys getting hurt.( words to that effect).
Fast fwd to the present we're seeing that plan unfold.
Tiggy touchwood frees
Bumps will be a thing of the past{Pickett decision if you want solid proof).
Decent rule is the most obvious of all rules on where this game is heading.
I've just about had enough honestly.
 
Also one of my favorite moments of the night. Still PMSL every time i see it. Nank gives away free, Bryan kicks the goal then Nank just runs into the huddle to stir them up 🤣

4 min mark of highlights

 
Atrocious is exactly right.
I listen to the comments and watch, but I nearly turned off the telly.
If they don’t realise the crowd numbers are down because footy lovers don’t enjoy the game the same anymore.
The game is in trouble.

That was a shit game to watch
Amen Mate.

That was a pisser
 
I don't think too many get dropped after that.
Two injuries, two ins.
I'm not sure who out of Graham, Ralphsmith, Dow, Stack or Pickett gets the nod.
We are a bit thin in key forward depth, though.

Tarrrant was good. We look much better with Gibcus in the side. How good is it to have a first year player come in and impact the dynamic down back in such a positive way.

Rioli, Baker and Short are guns.

Prestia was mint. Hope he's good for the swans.

Love Cotch but he keeps handballing to blokes under pressure lately.

With Lynchs radar off and now hammy, curious to see how we rejig the forward line for next week.

I'm learning to ignore terrible decisions by the umpires and I enjoy watching the game so much more now.
 
Jumper clash wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Not great but I thought it would be laughable.
Different coloured shorts did a lot of heavy lifting
Lucky we both don’t feature any white on our jumpers
 
Horrible game to watch. Struggled to put them away combining with the atrocity which was the umpiring.
Didn’t enjoy it at all.
Baker supreme. Prestia & Short great on ball. Nank inspirational, just puts in 100%.
Special mention Ross and George, how thought they were both good contributors.

Can we please put to bed the notion that we aren’t umpired differently to other teams?

Trigger happy 50s - the one against Dusty insane. A chop at one end followed by Tarrant getting his arms hacked at the other with no consequence. And play on after the whistle to kick a goal is 50 when other teams just have it brought back to the free?

I’m measured usually - but it’s becoming unwatchable and corrupt.
Amen Mate.

TBH I think the SCG is not a bad ground in the circumstances to be without Lynch given its smaller size. Once the ball hits the deck it can be transitioned from one end to the other very quickly.

A smaller forward line in my opinion helps us to lock it in there more efficiently. It might also have the effect of making our mids lower their eyes a little instead of just bombing it inside 50.
