Yes!! Come on free kicks!!!

A. Farce.

Its a good thing I don't give a **** about this game.

 

[Doggy Dan]

How on earth did we let Sweet go for a third rounder and be left paying English $1m a year. Our list management is screwed.

 

[RWnBluey]

Body has completely broken down, his game in the QF final was dreadful. I know Marshall is out with concussion but a brave call to think Dixon will offer anything.

They could’ve brought in literally anyone and they would’ve been more competitive. Even an inanimate carbon rod would’ve offered more.

 

[Struggle]

Sydney need to recruit Josh "The Aliir Stopper" Schache. He's dominating them

Sweet was never the kind of player who could play on an experienced AA ruckman in a prelim final

Not a good sign. Swans don't win the first quarter very often, I believe.

[Dogs Rule]

In days gone by, Port would be told not to allow Papley to walk off the ground.

 

[weltschmerz]

What a rodent Papley is.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Papley stepped off his mark then 100%

 

[Bulldogs85]

Would love nothing more if someone just chins Papley one day

 

[MJG14]

Papley is the epitome is small man syndrome. Knobhead.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Papley stepped off his mark then 100%

Advantage was ridiculous.

Everyone had stopped for 10 seconds, then Heeney picked it up 20 m forward of the free kick location.

Very poor umpiring.

Who cares about centre clearances at the SCG.

 

[Dogs 13]

Been sitting on this one for a few days, and only posting it without any specific details of the subject to show how easy it is sometimes to get pseudo-ITK info without even trying.

On Tuesday I was in Melbourne for an appt, then took the opportunity to catch up with a mate for coffee mid-arvo in an inner north cafe/eatery (a bit eclectic but nice setting).

Not many patrons, but we happened to sit a few tables away from what turned out to be a reasonably accomplished AFL player (not top tier, but not far off), with what eventually became clear was one of his parents and a sibling. As my mate and I talked, the conversation at the other table was mostly inaudible apart from an odd word here or there.

After 15mins or so, my mate took a family call and had to leave, so I sat for a few more mins finishing my caffeine fix, and idly checked my phone.

Suddenly with no mate to speak to, the establishment's acoustics came into play, and I was hearing the other table's convo very clearly. Nothing of any great importance, and ethically I won't share specifics here anyway, plus it's not really relevant to BF on either our board or even the player's club board. Basically there was some family chatter, and brief mention of a team-mate's extra-curricular activities (which elicited some disgust from the parent, and laughter from the sibling, but I missed a couple of key words as a staff member cleared another table! So I can't share it even if I wanted to!)

I was also actually getting embarrassed by then at inadvertently eavesdropping, and left shortly after, having to walk closer to their table as I did, but avoided eye contact and just walked out the door.

Now nothing I heard was of any great significance. But if I'd lingered longer, who knows? And they appeared completely oblivious to the fact I was hearing it like I was sitting amongst them. They weren't even speaking loudly. Lucky I'm not some 'journo'/germalist - I could try and fill in the words I missed and create a story out of nothing about the team mate!

Anyway, not even sure why I posted now, and far longer post than I intended. Should I have said anything to them as I left? (But I might go to the same place next time I'm in Melbourne though... who knows who I might see or what I might hear! )

Edit: re-reading it, it reads like a lengthy post about nothing. I wonder if there's a sitcom in it...

I was sitting in Fellini’s cafe in Exhibition St and at the next table was Billy Connally and Pamela Stephenson. It was so disappointing, not one footy rumour or any salacious AFL related gossip.
They might just as well have been ordinary people, I don’t know why I didn’t just get up and leave !!
He may have said something about Dame Judy Dench, but who cares

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

If these are the best umpires we have that says a lot. Been horribly officiated.

Now if they'd struck up a conversation about David Dench, that'd be a different story.

So true, and the friend I was with was a massive fan of David Dench. I guess that was before all that, you know, fraud scheme stuff came out

 

[MaxiBont]

Jeez swans are getting the rub of the green

 

[Werewolf]

Swans getting on top now
