You're welcome.

****ing hell, other way around mate.

Don’t you mean St Kilda will win?

AFL umpires are mic’d up and you’ve never heard two of them making two different calls on the exact same play? It happens almost every game. The video might look simple as someone is narrating the rule, try being an umpire and making the right call. Some AFL umpires struggle with HTB calls.

But hey, change can also be good.

Nah I get that but as SM said this seems to simplify things which should make it easier for the umps. Last touch is a free unless it’s a contest.

You're welcome.

Yew bewty thanks mate!

 

[chef]

So good to have Bruce back again. Couple of games at Footscray and he should be back to help Naughton out.

I hate to big note myself, but wow wee, I am starting to build an impressive resume of tipping these type of upsets (least in the AFL)

Yew bewty thanks mate!

My pleasure comrade #MOT

The game's not over yet, the Saints finish well.

 

[Magma]

I think it also doesn't apply in the 50m arcs.

no it's any possession over the ground. After a teething period it's not even noticeable. Encourages the corridor and puts an emphasis on skill

Didn't realise the game had finished, may as well switch off.

Yeah you go do that friend.

Sitting comfortable with my prediction still

 

[SM]

So you tipped the Bombers?

 

[joop]

Won’t make finals from here. Shown up for the pretenders we are.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ok, that's game now. The Saints will miss the finals from here, especially with their run home, way too many C-graders in their side.

 

[SM]

Great result for the Swans!

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

So you tipped the Bombers?

Yes, yes I did Smudger. For one thing, Essendon were way overdue for a win, and I also believe St Kilda are overrated and due for a loss.
You may think I was blindfolded throwing darts at a board with this prediction but I also felt personal wise, Essendon match up very well against an St Kilda Team that has overachieved this season thus far.

 

[Magma]

it can be a remarkably simple sport when you take the game on and apply pressure

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Not over yet

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Not over yet

It is now.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Yes, she’s all over

 

[SM]

Saints just can't do it against the Bombers. Crazy. They'll smash us though, seems the way.

No way, we’re done for the year. Hope you guys win it to be honest.

 

[Loonerty]

Andy McGrath playing in defence is elite.

 

[SM]

No way, we’re done for the year. Hope you guys win it to be honest.

You get Steele back next week and always seem to match up well on us. You'll smack us around.

 

[RPCB]

I just had a look at who St Kilda have left. Sydney, Carlton, Fremantle, Bulldogs, West Coast, Hawthorn, Geelong, Brisbane and Sydney. That is as tough as anyones remaining fixture.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Saints looked very ordinary, can’t see them making finals with their remaining draw.
