They’ve got plenty of money but the soft cap is the same for everyone and by the looks of it they don’t want to pay the tax to go over.

The tax is not stopping them.
They are probably the richest club in the country.
The choice is driven by other reasons.

 

[Yawkey way]

Digger, the Collingwood supporter who continually claimed that the umpires were against them.
Where was he from?
I forget.
My personal favourite was Helen from Healesville that continually tried to talk Torch into her bed.

Like meatloaf through a straw still flows the Yarra.

What a rip snorting start to the season we have at this glorified AFL 9’s ground!

Forgot how boring footy is, what a way to be reminded

You totally forget some of the 60-65 point howlers from last year but good to be quickly reminded. The defensive nature of how sides play these days completely ruins it for me, hard to watch any other games aside from ours.

The AFL trying to win over the Sydney market by playing a game of rugby.

Hopefully we see a few more tries in the 2nd half.

 

[StFly]

Mongrel wobbler towards goal as complete misskick, essentially an uncontested mark in the square just cause 'i can catch that" and a complete shank from like 7m out.

I don't mind defensive but I want the low scores to be because of good defensive play not because the forwards kick like a drunk country 2s player and the mids kick like the mid game aus kickers

Billings has laid more tackles in 2 mins then he did with us in 2 years lol

Last line of defense, comrade next to you, "I know" both attack the ball, hip and shoulder each other, fall on your arse, watch as the tall KPF kicks a goal from doing SFA but standing like a dopey shit in the square.

[bergholt]

Not sure I can be bothered watching other teams play this year tbh

 

[Sully111]

Billings absolutely lighting up the ground.

 

[StFly]

So, the set up to that last behind;

Step 1: Get ball from HBF.
Step 2: Run straight down mid.
Step 3: Kick dinky into I50.

Meanwhile on the Dees defensive lines;

Step 1: See the person absconding with ball from HBF running straight middle.
Step 2: Entrench thumb up arse and do SFA about it by standing still.
Step 3: Accentuate slipping and sliding as if making an effort whilst watching it happen.

I mean, he legit ran past 3 blokes in middle that stood still and just threw a hand out and then gave up moving at all as he ran past. This is the opening match? People who CBF moving on an attacking play?

Billings isn’t afl standard anymore. Looks so far off it

It's almost like the Dees have the wrong boots on, Billings is the wrong guy for this game as a bit dewy and you need to crack in, that's not him, never has been.

 

[beside the seaside]

Demons have some issues by the look of things. Getting totally overrun. Not fit.

 

[StFly]

The goal square is toxic to the Dees, straight toxic ground do not exist in it as you will miss the ball, it will get behind you and you will fall on your arse or faceplant.

They look fit but very slow.

 

[sammm]

How's Bllings doing?

 

[Bill Crouse]

How's Bllings doing?

Not well
1 handball 2 tackles 34% ToG

 

[Ricmel]

Billings absolutely lighting up the ground.

I hope he goes well but his perennial problem is he is a low impact player
