To be fair I actually agree with him, McGrath was excellent. Has had a pretty average career for a #1 up until this year, but he's in the AA side if it was picked today.

It's not that he gave McGrath best, it's that he didn't give Merrett a single vote.

It's like the 2013 Rising Star Award where Ollie Wines came third and didn't get a single vote (from 1 to 5) from Ling. He even gave Aaron Mullett a vote.

PS McGrath was excellent.

Must be the ANSAC spirit I've been hearing about.

Lol, not the first time Cameron Ling is watching a different game to anyone else

Pretty sure I watch different games to Cameron Ling most weekends.

Missed a trick here by not spelling it Mapgies

GWS have some serious talent to burn.

Train drivers have called off a strike during next week's AFL Showdown between Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows after reaching an "in principle" agreement over a pay dispute.

The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) had threatened a 24-hour stoppage on May 2 aimed at forcing private train contractor Keolis Downer (KDA) to improve its pay offer. The union had been demanding a 20 per cent pay rise over four years, but had only been offered an increase of 14.7 per cent over the same period.
Following a lengthy emergency meeting on Friday, the RTBU has negotiated a draft two-year deal — a 5 per cent pay increase in the first year and 4 per cent in the second year.

Nah club sacked him, ended badly. I'd be very surprised.

Past Premiership players are treated like s**t under current regime.

Both his kids have been at the club all this week training, can’t have been that bad.

Luke Darcy is commentating the Bulldogs (and his son) tonight. Gross.

 

[Marmozet]

Didn’t hear a peep out of this arsehat in Round 1 when West Coast kicked that goal against us in the first quarter.

BTW, Byrne-Jones did mark that within the field of play as another camera angle showed.

29 first round draft picks is serious talent.
AFL love child to make an impact into the Western Sydney market.

I was sitting where this happened and it was absolutely out of bounds. I'm not sure what there is to get upset about here, we absolutely did get the rub of the green last night. It doesn't always happen but it happened last night.

We get Adelaide in front of their home crowd then Geelong in front of theirs so I guarantee the universe will balance out - and then some - over the next two weeks

The way the media are making it out it's as if allir tackled himself.

It would be funny to see how the Fox Good Boys assemble if Darcy junior knocks someone out.

Out of interest, for those in the know. What’s a reserve seat at AO cost?

Living in Sydney and looking at heading to the Carlton game with a mate. Cheapest reserve seat is $70, and it’s a terrible seat.

 

[philreich]

I don't think it's going to happen, but a Norf win this afternoon would be glorious!!!!

While I agree, I worry that that result will ensure a reaming on our end next week

 

[Wargreymon90]

Walker will kick 8+

 

[Port 2004]

Walker will kick 8+

The crows will be lucky to get a total of 8 let alone the racist kicking that on his own.

Parallax and all that, but even at that angle it's not clear that the ball was fully across the boundary line when he marked it.

But why is there only controversy when Port is the beneficiary?

Exactly. Hilarious when it’s the west coast guy with one arm over the fence.
