I'll have a go. Saints are 3-0 as all players on the list have bought in to the gameplan, 100% and if we had a normal.run of injuries we would have won by more.

They are giving us a run for our money in terms of injuries, would be embarrassing for Freo if they lost this.
Thought Elene Tee was no better or worse than the other umpires.
The only inconsistency was the 'not sufficient intent' interpretation. Calls the Marshall one and a couple of minutes later Essendon head straight for the boundary and " throw it in". Apart from that she was OK I thought.
Funny how when we play in front and look the better team, the umpiring seems fair.
We are smashing Essendon 3 or 4 up, Essendon have been nowhere near it but get a free kick, the Essendon supporters Bronx cheer like they are getting a raw deal.and that's the reason they are getting smashed. All supporter groups do it.
Went to a lot of neutral games last year and was impressed with the good level of umpiring. Both supporters going off their heads, as a neutral, I thought almost every decision was there. Difficult game to umpire. They go ok.

Its a basic lack of understanding of human psychology.
Like a School teacher trying to force the cool girls to be nice to the smelly awkward kid.

Yeah West Coast predictably ran out of legs in the last quarter with no rotations left on the bench, you can cope with one or two injuries but not four.
Freo got lucky there, without those injuries West Coast may well have won and Freo would be 0-3 like Geelong.
Craig McRae annoys me
There, I said it
Thinks he's f'k'n mahatma gandhi
Should start his own line of fortune cookies to impart his wisdom onto the masses
Yawn

Plastic buddahs, fortune cookies are overrated you need something to sit on a small table whilst you sip tea and wonder "is that incense or should I be running?" and that yes, it was McRae giving you the light you needed to succeed at footy and all you needed was a scuffed and cracked fake belly that's slightly beige.
Then in the inevitable come to my house for members you can have like 47 of them in the weights room with woolworths radioisms.
I was sitting here imagining if I was 19 and Craig McRae was my dad (as you do)
I'm on holidays in South America and I give him a call
me: Hey dad
Cm: Hello son.... things are going well for you over there
Me: actually dad....
Cm: It wasn't a question son. It was a statement
Me: yeah but dad
Cm: We must speak our truth into reality
Me: Yeah that's great dad but I have this thing I need to tell you
Cm: How did life bless you by throwing up challenges that you'll be lucky enough to take learnings from son?
Me: Well me and my mates...
Cm: My mates and I....
Me: Ok... My mates and I went swimming in a river and a piranha bit my dick off
pause
Cm: So there's your lemons... how are we going to make lemonade?
Me: like... it's gone dad... my dick is gone
Cm: Come at this with the right attitude and this will be the making of you
Me: there's just a hole there... a bloody hole
Cm: Do you still have your balls?
Me: Well yeah, but I don't see how...
Cm: There you go son! Could have been much worse
Me: Dad...my dick.... is gone
Cm: I'm sure there's plenty of blokes out there who have had both their dick and balls bitten off by piranhas. You gonna look them in the eye and say you're doing it tough? Doing it tough isn't an expression I like to use Son
Me: Never mind...I'm still bleeding....Think I'll go lay down for a bit
Cm: Lay down??!! LAY DOWN??? There'll be none of that!

Jesus, the mental image of a hole and balls. Well, we are in the year 2023 - I guess I shouldn't be too surprised if I see it.

I’ll withhold my opinion on this guernsey until it’s clear it wasn’t designed by a Make-A-Wish child with an acquired brain injury

Even the Power-rangers kit was much better than this abortion. This looks like they borrowed it from Super Netball. It's giving me epilepsy.

Nathan Buckley would be buying boxes of them, McRae showing he didn’t exactly extract the best out of that list.
This looks like a meme. Like someone is trying to **** with North. Little do they know, North has been ****ing with themselves for years.
Ooooh Skippy is pissed off, go and get Dad in the Helicoptor Jerry, before he kills us all.

White on purple on various shades of blue, why is it a shield, why is it the only thing purple, why does it appear to be one of those temporary tattoos you got with shit gum tacked onto the only tie die shirt you own? There's too many questions and all of them are horrible choices.
Hawks have had a few questionable ones;
Lacross anyone? Tea?
And the Dogs actually went there, was a legit superhero jumper it was atrocious;
"And here's Thor finding another blonde and going straight for the short shorts... Doggies lift leg and urinate everywhere"

If it was designed by a kid in the childrens hospital I'm fine with it. But I don't think a kid in the childrens hospital designed it.
