That’s a good mate

It will be interesting to see which of the current top eight drop out. Giants, Essendon, Port and Cats all look shaky.

It'll be a travesty if the Swans don't win it, they're clearly the best team in the comp.

2009.

Rarely get the favourites win the premiership but they look so far ahead of everyone right now. Bloody Collingwood will probably pinch it.

So you think there are people out there who would be AFL umpires and get abused every week for making decisions under ambiguous rules, but who don't because they don't get paid enough?

The only solution imo is to make the rules more simple. This game has more grey areas than any major competition in the world, more need for umpires to assess the player's intent (deliberate out of bounds, holding the ball, blocking in marking contests) or what they "could" have done (prior opportunity).

The rules need to be strict liability so an 12 year old could make the decisions. That's the only way you'll solve it. Yes, people will whinge that "it's not the game I grew up with". But ****ed if I can be bothered listening to all the umpire whinging for the next 50 years of watching footy. Fix it.

Hundred percent the rules are far to complex

I hope we beat Sydney 51 to 48 and the AFL client media have an aneurysm.

Cats gone.

Sydney and Carlton fair way ahead of the rest at the moment.

Think Collingwood are safe and Brisbane for all intents and purposes if you go off percentage are the second best team in it but coming from a fair way back.

The question is who really is capable of dislodging the likes of Ess, Port and Geelong.

Bulldogs if they get there shit together are capable

Freo can get it done.

Gold Coast cant win away from Metricon
Hawthorn probs not yet
Melb looked absoloutley cooked

Ken Hinkley getting booed off Adelaide Oval by Port supporters. Imagine if they lose to us next week.

13 to 8?

2009.

That's the absolute beauty of our game.

You just never exactly know how things will pan out.

Using 2022 as an example.......after round 14....Brissy ....Dees and Freo were the top 3 on the ladder sitting each at 10-3.

The Dees only lost their first game round 11.

I remember the footy media screaming...."give them the Cup now"

Ummmm....not so fast !!!!!

It's all set up for the Saints to sneak into the finals, play one month of good football and win it from eighth!

And imagine…

The AFL were going to look at holding the ball differently. Lasted one week - some games pretty good others not so much.

We are pretty much back to where we were at the start of the season- waste of time.

Is it Laura Kane or the umpires - who knows?

The game is a lottery & stuffed!

If Wardlaw paid more than 2 dollars for that haircut it's bloody goddamn highway robbery.

 

[gringo2011]

Cats gone.

The Squiggle auto tip has them staying in the 8. Melbourne, Port and GWS missing. Did it multiple times and can't get Geelong out.

I'd have him at the Saints with any haircut.

Interesting. Out of those three teams I’d pick Giants to make it.
You never know…the cats have indeed had none lives.
Surely, one year they’re actually going to fall off the cliff?

You say that now...

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Seems the only tackles allowed are the ones that are ineffective.
