I reckon we will be riding high after Friday and playing away is a great thing. Get on the road to a non Vic club is actually a good thing.

We upset the VFL on Friday.

I just wish that we have someone just leak all communication, meeting minutes and other info about the inside dealings of the AFL. Somehow would not put it past them to talk about how much of a failure this year is for them now that all Vic ‘big’ clubs are out of finals.

Eight Melbourne-based teams, not one of them in the top 4. Could it possibly be, just perhaps, there are too many of them?

Definitely and years ago when money wasn’t so prevalent some clubs should have got the chop then.
Now there is so much money to go around (4.5billon tv deals)it will never happen.

 

[FishingRick04]

Consider 10 Vic sides makes the historical VFL relevant, chop it down to 6 and the historic VFl loses its relevance to the true national comp

I'd look at that little Dudley for a preseason if I were Port

 

[gbear]

The look on peoples faces when it ends up being the 2004 GF rehash.

Have you met our coach? We aren't making it.

Narr not a chance.

If anything, it’s the teams from the eastern states with their academy selections that are destroying the VFL.

You had me at delist McEntee.

With Taberner (125 games) and Ethan Hughes (107 games) retiring, it's a good reminder that Fremantle has the worst collection of 100 game players in the AFL

Notable members include Clancee Pearce, Cam Sutcliffe, Tendai Mzungu and Lee Spurr

Oh Ethan Hughes is retiring? Hughesy going is a massive loss. I remember that massive mark he took back in the day. Champion player and bloke.

(seriously though is this a made up name?)

Enjoy your permanent ban.

Just watch Freo laugh when Sutcliffe Jnr is a pick 1 FS prospect.

St Kilda at some stage will have to learn that they can throw around as much money as they like, no one wants to play for a shit minnow club with no supporters.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Good to see Manly got over the drug induced Bulldogs.

The only thing that St Kilda have in the volt is lube.

It was a beneficiary from Molly Meldrum.

 

[It Just Is]

The thought of Essendon losing their best player and captain while contracted to a club like St Kilda really tickles me though

 

[PAFC04]

Just 1 dollar from 20k members would do it I guess…

Bless St Kilda, target Merrett, probably get Heppell.

What in the fresh hell is Greg wearing? Orange skivvy, the blue Wiggles pants. Cronenberg Wiggle.

<dad-mode>That's Anthony, the blue Wiggle. </dad-mode>

Which is why he's wearing blue Wiggle pants.

One good thing about the NRL, you know who’s playing in the GF before the year starts.

 

[GremioPower]

But how Daniher got to have that first kick at goal from the sideline in the first place is an important part of the context.

The deliberate call?

Wasn’t there a non-called throw a few seconds before?

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

The deliberate call?

I think this is why they paid deliberate. Knew they missed the obvious as dogs balls throw so made up for it with the deliberate.

That was a shocking non call.

All in all, the umpiring standard was a bit average again across both games.

 

[Chrizzt]

How’s the AFL, so concerned about poor ratings from only 1 Vic team left in the final four, they’ve pulled McAvaney out of retirement to try and boost ratings. Maybe don’t have such a shit roster of commentators to begin with hey
