The AFL Thread Proudly Sponsoring Patrick Dangerfield

[cobl04]

Freo would be a good fit yes but not sure it works for either party given Cloke is 29 and Freo are suddenly shit now.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They don't have anyone else, it would be a stop gap measure but I doubt he'd cost a lot. Also depends if they end up acquiring McCarthy. I don't think Freo will be bottom 4 next year.

 

[Axver]

Wow, 7's ads for Essendon vs Hawthorn next Friday are funny. "Anything could happen!" Yeah guys, sure.

 

[bono_man2002]

It could be over100 points. But it also could be under.

 

[bono_man2002]

Stringer just cost the Dogs another goal out of selfishness. He's Footscray version of Jack Riewoldt.

 

[Axver]

But he's got the package! BT said so!

 

[Axver]

Wow I really didn't expect Adelaide to steamroller the Saints like this. Maybe earlier in the year I'd have been less surprised but the Saints have generally been refusing to capitulate.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They lost to West Coast in Perth by about 100 a fortnight ago ... that said I didn't think we'd smash them so easily.

 

[Axver]

I guess I put that down to being an anomaly, and to West Coast's case of Jekyll and Hyde, looking almost in premiership form at home only to fall apart the moment they go near a plane.

 

[bono_man2002]

Cloke is out, Pies by 10 goals.

Spoiler

Nah, Dees should win.

 

[Axver]

Cloke or no Cloke, I don't see the Dees winning.

 

[bono_man2002]

I'm not sure what the good, if any, was bringing him back just for one week.

I guess Trav will be able to stay home and wait for the new U2 song on Monday

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Time is up for Leppitsch now I think.

 

[Axver]

Oh my god what happened in that second quarter!

Wish I had remembered to stream Port vs Doggies. Looks like it was a thrilling finish.

 

[LemonMelon]

It's not exactly a compliment to either side, but I expect Carlton/St Kilda to be a very competitive match. The Saints are horrendous on the road, but in Melbourne they've taken the Hawks and Roos to the very end.

 

[cobl04]

Even if we beat North tonight I'm not sure it's worth how fucking cold it is tonight. Fuck this city

 

[Axver]

It's 8! You'd die overseas.

Though it does feel rather cold to me too, colder than recent nights with lower temperatures, which is weird.

 

[Axver]

Fuck BT is an idiot. "North are back in it!" he yells... as Boomer kicks a goal to extend a lead they already had.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Another shocking goal review decision.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Good to see that the Crows midfield decided to repeat the Dogs/Cats performances.

 

[Axver]

Oh hello Adelaide comeback time?

Geelong vs North isn't quite delivering the way I hoped it might.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I was not expecting this at all.

 

[Axver]

I cannot believe the Eagles scored nothing at all in the last quarter. What a bloodbath.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It's ridiculous. 4 goals down against the Eagles at home we pull out a massive last quarter like that.

They barely got the ball in their 50 in the last. Struggled to get it past halfway even.

Anyway, fucking brilliant to hit the bye at 8-4.

 

[LemonMelon]

Tonight makes it clear that North has just beaten up on a lot of shitty teams. Their matches against real contenders for the 8 have been about 50/50 so far.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I think we can beat them at Adelaide Oval after the bye.

 

[coolian2]

Have we accepted the Gold Coast are a failure?

I've never seen a place so incapable of handling any professional team.

 

[Axver]

Me too. I've suspected a similar thing to LM and tonight may have confirmed it.

Seriously, the place is a fucking sports graveyard.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Me too. I've suspected a similar thing to LM and tonight may have confirmed it.

They have also got Hawthorn next week. Three losses in a row is a fairly realistic prediction.

 

[coolian2]

The only reason the Suns and Titans still exist is because the Queensland government gave them new stadiums.
