Anyone put a few coins on the Power to make the 8. SB was paying $2.50 at the start of the year.

Last night my acc went from $0 to $150

No, but I got $35 for the flag at the start of the year.

Yeah I got a bit of that as well...I do most years, well, in more recent times anyway.
I've still got my 2004 premiership payout ticket.

What the **** was that last minute by Brisbane?!?

What the **** was that last minute by Brisbane?!?

Best worst goal i've ever seen.

9 handballs to escape defensive 50.
1 5 metre scrub kick that's fortuitously hit a team mate.
1 long kick to a contest on the boundary line.
1 mark.
1 dangerous kick on the 45 into the centre square directly to a melbourne player
1 dodgy bounce that favoured Dayne Beams
Beams rushes it inside 50
2 unnessesary handballs
dribble goal inside goal square

Head to head would be better if we met twice or met once on neutral ground.

Hmm. You'd have to define 'better' to make that argument. You could say it'd be fairer. But the incentive to put on a big score would be reduced.

For instance, the motivation for Port and Sydney to put on a big score next week wouldn't be as compelling.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

The Swans are the first team to beat the top 4 sides away from home. An amazing achievement in the national comp to do that.

I don't know if a VFL team ever did that when they had to drive down the road to beat a top 4 team. Ok Sydney jumped on a plane 3 times and drove down the road once..

Isn't this only because the best 4 teams are usually in the top 4?

Seems like a bit of a beat to to me.

It would have happened heaps if times that teams had beaten the 'other 4 best teams' I would think

One would need to define "fairer" as well.

It pretty funny that the AFL and channel 7 have scheduled a game next week in its flagship time slot with nothing riding on it other than i being the farewell game of two individuals.
I hope it gets the lowest ratings of any Friday night game ever.

How do you even promote such a dud fixture?

That year Carlton got ten (Easter) Thursday/Friday and Saturday night games.

 

[LFC2010]

Any chance of a Freo boil over today?

Last game at Subiaco for them.

We all would love a lolrichmond moment.

A bunch of Pratts whose ever idea that was.

A Portesque 2015/6 dropped bollock is what they deserve.

It's possible. You never know with freo. **** I hope freo put in one last big effort at the piece of shit ground.

 

[Grave Danger]

From the StKilda-N0rf match feed:

"Ben Brown is the number one ranked player in the competition for targets inside 50, with 254 total targets this season. It's for good reason too, as only Charlie Dixon has taken more contested marks inside 50 (31 contested marks) than Brown (25)."

Yep, Perf's version of Football Park.

Just remember, after we destroyed Freo early this season, they bounced back against the #freekickbullflogs

Don't give up hope fellas!!!

 

[Pappagallo]

I almost never bet but when I weighed up those odds and the fact Patrizio would instantly make us a much better side I just couldn't resist.

The bloke on the radio said it's the first time ever. I have doubts it happened in the VFL era but he could be correct that it's over 120 seasons and not 30.

 

[It Just Is]

Vince should get a week for kneeing and a spray for diving. Took himself out of the contest and it cost them a goal.

Brisbane coming hard.

Yes, they had a noticeable change in selection policy after that game...

 

[Buget]

Give Brisbane another preseason, they won't be bottom next year.

BOOOOO!!!!

Demons' goal ruined the final minutes...

 

[CharlieKelly]

soooo....unless Melbourne lose to Collingwood and West Coast defeat Adelaide by about 50+ points in Perth (highly unlikely), then Melbourne will play in their first finals series since 2006

 

[PAFC66]

If Freo beat Richmond we'll be 4th carn dockers you useless campaigners

 

[Grave Danger]

I don't expect Freo to beat Essendon next week at Docklands, but they will be in a position to either help their WA big brother make the finals, or drive a stake through their slim hopes

There's a chance. Richmond are mentally weak
If Freo start well lookout.

Yeah, they have a pretty solid mix of senior stars, mid-level talent and a bunch of good kids.

If anything it's reminiscent of us under Primus, insomuch as they're suffering from being horrendously resourced more than anything.
