Mega Thread Port Forum General AFL Thread Part 28

[VineValerian]

Never seen the Cats drop as many marks before than they have this half.
Ripe to be plucked by the Pies tonight.

You're decrying the fact that a lack of transport option invented at the onset of the 1800s makes us backwards?

Trains aren't meant for point to point, their utility comes from having multiple stops. This contrasts to planes who are ideal for point to point travel and aren't meant for multiple stops.

There's not enough population along the way from Canberra to Melbourne to make trains feasible, and there's enough flight options available which could do the trip quicker anyway.

Comparing the trains of the 1800’s to today’s would be as accurate as asking someone at a Toyota dealership why they want a horse drawn carriage.

It's great that Seven has Australia's premier sports medicos in DR Brian Taylor and Dr Matt Richardson on tonight's broadcast.

Otherwise we would have had most of the commentary of the second quarter wasted on the false diagnosis of hamstring injuries - first for Cameron and then for Daicos.

Phew.

I have zero games of AFL experience, yet somehow I managed to conclude immediately that it looked like a corky from a knee to the back of the leg.

The channel 7 muppet crew spent the next 10 minutes talking about how he was running around with a torn hamstring, even mentioned that Daicos might not even know what a hamstring feels like lol

7 or 8. I never get the Kelli hate.

Dealing with Caro or Derm would be torture.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Have to be the worst 21 possie half ever..

Fumbles, can’t bounce..just a handball receiver..

ya never see JhF fumble like daicos

jHF Miles ahead of daicos.

[Ford Fairlane]

I laugh whenever the commentators see Dangerfield on the run looking to pass upfield and asking Can Patty pick the eyes out of this one?

Two thoughts

1. If the eyes are 6m in the air
2. Are you not familiar with his career body of work?

 

[240volt]

I went for Geelong but the more this goes on I reckon the Pies will get up.

 

[JimmyBC]

Will the AFL ever enforce proper clash guernsey rules? this is awful to watch

 

[Festerz]

Gotta say I’m loving the fact the short kick BS is finally being stamped on.

But the fact it happens out of nowhere is amateur hour stuff.

At least other teams have a warning about it for the rest of the weekend.

 

[Ported]

Commentators are gonna call this game a thriller, but it's def a comedy

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Worst barrel in history

Actual shit.

On brand.

 

[philthy05]

My favourite moment of this game was when a pies player was going back on the mark and daicos ran up to him from the front so the player couldn’t have kicked it if he wanted to, called for the handball and turned around and kicked it.



I’ve never seen a moment scream stat sheet stuffer more in my life. It was absurd.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lawson Humphries looks a decent player on the wing for Geelong. Picked him up with one of our picks traded for Ratugolea.

That was pick 63 so we could have drafted him earlier.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Just confirming we want Collingwood to win right?

 

[JimmyBC]

The Collingwood guernsey has looked weird for a few years now what is it?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Geez Tom Stewart is a smart, non panicking defender.

Wish we had someone like him.

Haha and he almost gets knocked out. If he's out of the game, those smart small Collingwood forwards will cut up the Geelong defence.

 

[JimmyBC]

God this is boring, cricket is better.

 

[Festerz]

Just confirming we want Collingwood to win right?

No, we want Geelong to lose. But it looks like it ain’t gonna happen

 

[Ant Bear]

Oh, look.
KO'd Geelong player passes HIA.

I'm shocked to be sitting here.

Delayed concussion Tuesday

 

[Greasyrhys]

[240volt]

With the draw they have just making the 8 is going to be a challenge.
