I am going to watch, and re-watch it on Bigpond to savor the disappointment in their voices as the siren goes and see how they have embarrassed themselves. Well worth it. Gold.

I'm rapt in the 1 point win and even better after watching it live yesterday I watched it on Big-pond and the great thing was listening to the commentators barrack for Melbourne, pick every free kick they didn't get and coach them from the commentary box, only to see them lose. I'm a small man...

How exactly does Judd winning a Herald Sun footy award really matter? Journos know no more of football than anyone on here, hope Judd gets it, because straight off the top of my head I can't remember who won it last year and I bet there was one of these in 1961 and no one remembers who won that...

Was noted that many looked flat on the weekend and was mentioned in that members newsletter that is sent as a form e mail every week. These guys are the gut runners so probably very much need a rest before taking on the Doggies whippets. What a perfect lead in game for the finals given where we...

No the old chestnut is "Thomas and Medhurst haven't kicked 15 goals between them this week so they must be crap". I guess we can all dream that they will all play like Daicos every week.....:rolleyes:

What I think is that he has been given some very specific roles (along with Thomas) that means his job is not nececsarily to be the committed goal kicking forward that he may have been last year. That is not to say there is no room for his skills and confidence, but I get the feeling that he and...

Oh I don't know, I think lack of influence was defined by Adam Goodes in the game yesterday. What a butcher with the footy! 25 possies, 5 clangers and 50% disposal effeciency, why bother tagging him when he coughs it up every 2nd time he gets it? Did I notice Collingwood players handballing it...

Yep the Swans really showed their mettle yesterday, pushed Collingwood physically to the limit and the Pies were so lucky to get away with that close 7 goal win, good physical effort Swans. I'm sure the Magpies can hardly walk today after having to reach so deep ino the tank. :rolleyes:

Look I'm not particularly worried about the Brownlow votes or what the umpires thought as it has absolutely no bearing on the outcome of games. I mean Adam Goodes wouldn't wear his Brownlow medals on game day in the hope of playing better would he? No, so what the umpires think as reflected in...

You don't have to look at many stats, just the fact that you think he was BOG in a team that played mediocre footy, lost by 7 goals and he slaughtered the footy half the times he kicked it? No stats there, just cold hard facts. Dane Beams was BOG by a mile in a team that won at a canter. This...

Goodes with 2 votes for 5 clangers and 50% effeciency in disposal? I would doubt it. BTW he was absolutely useless when it came to his defensive awareness as a forward/attacking player. Very unaccountable at times yesterday, so would be suprised if he polled at all.

I'm sorry to burst this bubble but Goodes was a liability to your team yesterday. I watched him live and he was the clanger king and had only 50% disposal efficiency. 50%, that is half the time he disposed of the footy it didn't go direct to a Swans player, which means one of the opposition had...

As frustrating as it was our kicking was influenced by a very blustery G yesterday, I was right behind the Punt Rd goals and it was difficult to tell what the wind was doing, so will give the forwards the benefit of the doubt at this stage. The positive was really good use of the footy...

I agree 100% especially on the Goodes clangers, I didn't hear the commentary because I was at the game (best thing about going is not having to listen to stupid comentary teams). One of Goodes turn overs early in the last quarter went the whole length from the Swans fwd pocket to our goal...

You can have all the tempo, rolling zones and Plan Bs you want. If you don't have players who can make the right decisions and run all day then none of it matters. All these 'successful' game plans are based on gut running, so that teams can tackle, pressure, chase, break the lines, fill space...

Simple criteria for a player to be rated as good: If the ball goes near him does he make something positive happen for his team? Dale Thomas is good, if he can influence a game he will. Is he carving up the midfield, NO because that isn't his role. I mean how many possessions does he need to be...

Obviously this person heard that term somewhere in the media and thinks it sounds cool, like tempo footy, or something? But you know what, we zone and tempo as much as any team when we need to, can run straight up the guts when required and so I'm not sure why this needed to be invented as a...

How long has he got left and what will we need come the time? Lets not get starry eyed about every player in our lineup. He has been sound but we have plenty of his type, would it be worth it? A swap for a highish draft pick might well be worth it in the next few lean draft years from a team...

Not sure myself why you would want to dump him, as I recall first game back ran with Judd and did a good job of it. Put him on R. Shaw and shut down half the Swans run through the midfield. Johnson should stay as he matches well in and under with Swans, their structure has changed since we...

True, but better to die on your feet than live on your knees. Good luck to North, better than being zombie clubs like Swans and Lions pretending that a dead club is part of your histroy.

Been on Sun website lately? Beams signed!!:thumbsu:

Yes not very interesting really the whole situation. It was a nothing incident arising from King getting frustarted after Didak was running riot and then it got blown out of proportion by the media who were looking for Pies player to get a week or 2. What a waste of effort the whole thing has...

You are joking right? This is from a Sydney supporter, the team which whinged and whined about The Sniper (AKA Goodes) for so long because he hurt his poor little knee in the ruck that the AFL changed the rules for him! Don't lecture us on sooking, Roos has been the master of it for years.

A bogan he may be but he is a bogan who has played in more finals than all your team put together, how is that for a bogan effort? Not bad, eh? :)

Get mummy to write a letter to the league like JB did because he got niggled, sure big Andy will sort it. :rolleyes:

Haaaaaaa! Your teams senior coach was convicted of assault and you are on here lecturing on standards. :confused: BTW you don't need to debate that one, it's a fact that was decided before a court and he even served a diversion program like some 17 year old sprog, except he was a grown man...

He is fluking every goals he DOES(??) for. WTF. Poor old Carlton, apparently Betts, Gibbs and Murphy are better players than Thomas, Pendlebury and Davis. The only problem is that the latter 3 are downhill skiers who have a good game every 3 weeks and then we have to put up Blues supporters...

Think Maxwell did his cheek in the Hawks game, think it is cracked but obvously wasn't displaced. Is that correct injury buffs? MM mentioned it as being an injury he carried last week, must be on the mend surely??

:D:D Funny but true, wait, Vlad is the hungry catepillar! :thumbsu:

Had to laugh reading the sooking in the papers yesterday by Brisbane, "our forward got niggled" news flash Walter Cronkite, everyones forwards get niggled, JA had 2 on him every time the ball went near him!! How about this Voss? Have more than one forward and some crumbers who can do their job...
