In the past two nights, 3rd, 4th and 5th have all looked like absolute trash.

Port and Collingwood are a clear cut above the rest of the league.

How the hell are St Kilda 5th?

How the hell are St Kilda 5th?

just let the Brisbane player run past him to pressure Stocker's kick...

 

[Harro59]

Geez that score review hurts, reckon Brisbane walk one in here now and kill the game

 

[Buget]

So all accountability is on the tackler to protect the tackled player out of a duty of car.

But Hipwood could release the ball and protect himself. Stoker didn’t put him on his hip and whip him around, nor did he pin both arms.

Hipwood contributed to that.

Just saying.

 

[simba_]

Brisbane haven't needed to play especially hard to beat this mob.

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

Thought that was a poor 50 against Dougal.

 

[simba_]

this game should've been played on a Tuesday night and not even filmed

 

[Windy Cindy]

How the hell are St Kilda 5th?

Aren’t they rubbish

Making perennial spud hipwood look like Wayne Carey

 

[davo999]

Not super impressed by either team , Brisbane would be dangerous at home but I reckon we could take them here or the M.C.G

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Well that was woeful.

 

[GremioPower]

Well that was woeful.

As expected…

 

[GremioPower]

With 4 points per win, the AFL tournament is ripe for some kind of Bonus Point. This is my suggestion:

Na.

It should be just 2 points for a win, no tacky bonus point stuff. 1 draw, 2 win, Victorians though created the weird 4 point system. However to be fair in SA we over complicated the percentage system.

Dumped him on the side with arm pinned though, so not sure what Hipwood could do. Feels like there was a whip in normal speed, but just my opinion.

The problem is players are taught to bring to ground so that the ball can't be released as easy, and are getting better at it too. My crazy prediction is that in 5 seasons or less there'll be rules in place that somehow outlaw unnecessary takedown tackles of any sort. No idea how, but perhaps if you have both arms around, and especially if both players are more or less stationary. AFL is about to be hammered by lawsuits, so things might get messy.

I really prefer the SA way, to be honest.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

4-6 in last 10, they're on the slide

I hope they have a little left otherwise the Crows definitely make finals

Nah the SA percentage system makes more sense

Out of every 100 pts scored how many do you score (SA)

If the other team scores 100, how many points do you score (Vic)

4pts/win and % show a need for compensation for something.

It’s just bigger for size’s sake.

Proof of how hard it is to not be in the 8.
