Terrible opposition but Meek is looking very good with the added responsibility and game time

Man theyre so bad they might even get a priority pick ...

I ****ing hope not.

 

[royale with cheese]

This is 96 Fitzroy areas. Hopefully the same thing happens to them

116 point loss to the 17th team - check
Goalless second half - check
Petruccelle fumbling a bounce when running into an open goal right at the end - check

What a wonderful game!

Re signing Gaff, NicNat, McGovern to long term lucrative deals is the problem now

Depends on your point of view really

 

[Arkhitect]

Just saw the Eagles scoreline...

 

[Bastyy]

I have heard the opposite. The top eight or so are great, but there's a cliff face after that.
Bastyy please confirm?

I'm not watching much junior footy this year so I wouldn't really know but I like a few of the guys after pick 10 or so

 

[Lach72]

Have to nail the picks. Their depth or experienced players retiring is an issue instead

So…lately they’ve nailed Allen and “crickets”

 

[Lach72]

Collingwood pumping the Spews so far.


Good weekend all round really

 

[FD2646]

Great job Hawks!

 

[estibador]

And then I tune in to see Carlton getting spanked too.

This is turning into a very enjoyable round of footy.

 

[Bastyy]

Spare a thought for Harley Reid in these troubling times

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Awwww 116 points. That’s sad huh

 

[Lach72]

Lol Mitch Lewis did a Pav

Eagles are horrendously bad. No spark. No energy. It’s almost surreal. They turned it on against us so there is something there. They just don’t know how to unlock it unless they play their grand final every week

It's like a dream

A wonderful, joyous dream

I feel sorry for Reuben Ginbey. He’s a Freo fan who looks like Clive Waterhouse, he doesn’t deserve this.

Could always request a trade...

This game is way too easy for Collingwood. Carlton have been hilariously bad.

or are Pies scary good.....

Looks like Carlton are having their finals hopes ended by Collingwood three months early.

 

[Arkhitect]

In all honesty though, their rebuild is going to be a lot more painful than ours ever was. I think it'll be close to a decade before they play finals again.

They're still on a downwards trajectory given their list profile. Most of their veterans are right at the end of their careers and most of their kids they've picked up during the last two years are garbage except Ginbey and maybe one or two others. Not to mention their WAFL team is crap and any draftees they bring in are going to get smashed week in and week out as they develop.

[Purple Jesus]

Is this the best round of footy ever?

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Amazed by the number of them sticking fully to the idea that sacking Simpson is all that's needed to resolve their binfire.

Any move that doesn't start with pensioning off/cap dumping at least a fraction of Shuey, NicNat, Darling, McGovern, Gaff and Hurn is the wrong one.

But that runs square in to their collective belief that they're a great playing group which has just had a little bit of bad luck, and Nisbett, Gepp and Co are too scared of the potential backlash from their insane supporter base to contemplate offending it.
