30 to 23 in the third quarter, can't believe RTB is ruining the entire league

 

[SteeleSaints]

In hindsite, McAuliffe might have been a good choice instead of Collard.

Cooper Simpson was my choice for the pick - but if Lance can fullfil his potential he will become a very good player.

There were a few of us talking about Cooper Simpson. Somehow he hasn't yet had the impact as others, such as McAuliffe, or Hugo Garcia.

Hold the phone, one side has almost doubled their score... ... ....

And we have the zoom in on a rando bomber supporter walking down to yell at someone on field. Never change cameras people, never change.

Parker clutch

 

[Plugger35]

It's the Swans Globetrotters up against the Essington Generals.

Entertaining to watch.

 

[Nutsngum]

Stringer getting distracted by some high school girls in the crowd there.

 

[StFly]

"YEAH A BEHi oh.."

That face of dismay.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Not really watching…how’s our new recruit Shiel going?

 

[Plugger35]

Parker is back to his best form again, any chance we can get him?

He would be a good replacement for Crouch and better than Shiel.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Bummers are kaput

 

[Simon Templar]

**** everything!

 

[StFly]

Horse: "Now make sure we send them flowers, the red ones, say commiserations..."
Scott: *looks disappointed.

Looking forward to another Herbatron video this week

 

[ESPN8 The Ocho]

The top six AF players on the ground are your teammates yet you lose by seven goals.
What lessons do you learn?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Essington showed up tonight

 

[Plugger35]

The Swans finishing off the Bombers finals chances but we were the ones that broke them a few weeks ago.

Hopefully we can finish off Carlton's finals chances next week after the Hawks broke them, West Coast might beat us to it though.

We can't finish Geelong's finals chances tomorrow night but we can put a big dent in their Top 4 chances if we can beat them.

West Coast are favourites against The Blueballers.

West Coast are favourites against The Blueballers.

Should be. The Blues are decimated. Having said that, apparently bad weather in Perth tomorrow so maybe they don’t miss their 2 big forwards quite as much.

 

[TheJackal]

In hindsite, McAuliffe might have been a good choice instead of Collard.

There's over a dozen better picks taken after Collard, fortunately for us we took 3 of them anyway.

Not sure why everyone is so convinced Collard is going to be a bust.
Wasn’t a high pick, yes, had an average year with an even more average end to it, but he’s a kid. And a long way from home.

I’m cutting him some slack. Not even close to prepared to write him off yet. It’s early days.

Not missing Gresham at all, and this kid has X factor. Up to the club to get it out of him.

I agree... they have more in's & out's than a prostitute on an end of year footy trip.

West Coast are playing Carlton on Sunday, the Springboks are playing the Wallabies tomorrow night at Optus in the heavy rain.

Still some rain forecast in Perth on Sunday and the ground will probably be even worse than usual after the rugby boys chop it up.

Good call, I will probably contradict myself somewhat now but I know there's still hope for him. He has xfactor in spades, and would love nothing more than for him to succeed.

I will say though, you can lead a horse to water... he's got to want it as well. At least we have Henry and Hill there to confirm to him that footy in WA isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Agree. Will hopefully happen with a little more maturity. All kids do mature eventually, just not all at the same time.
After one season he now knows the expectations of a professional sport, and hopefully, with the support of the club, will get there.
He does have to want it though.
