The AFL Thread Watching the Bombers Fly Up

[Vlad n U 2]

Probably was in the end. This is an atrocious game though, two weakest teams in the 8 so no surprises there.

 

[Axver]

It's still the best game of the weekend because it's actually still a contest at the start of the final quarter.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

West Coast making Essendon's performance today seem admirable.

 

[Axver]

I was wondering why the fuck Channel 7 played Limp Bizkit earlier. Turns out it was Ollie Wines's fault. I now want Port Adelaide to lose by 1,000.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Extra time. West Coast have fucked up so badly, they had such a chance but they couldn't be bothered picking the bloody ball up.

 

[Axver]

I spent the last five minutes barracking for a draw, but I didn't think it would actually happen!

This makes up for how uncompetitive the previous three finals were.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This sucks. Both teams deserve to lose.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Shuey goal after the siren HOLY SHIT! Cop that Port!

 

[Axver]

Holy fuck that was something else. I love footy.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Only a crowd of 41,000 for a final at AO ... not even close to good enough. Even I was expecting around 45k!

 

[Axver]

You must be joking. I assumed it had sold out.

 

[Axver]

How's Nicky Nat after the siren!

I love NicNat.

[cobl04]

Just watched the last half-an-hour. Insane.

 

[cobl04]

Thoughts on this week? Reckon the Giants get up pretty easy, and no idea which Geelong will show up in the semi final.

Also, how fucking hilarious is it catching a bit of an NRL final and there's no one fucking there! What a pathetic joke of a sport.

 

[Axver]

I love how the Richmond vs Geelong game got higher attendance than the entire weekend of NRL finals combined. That's quite something.

I assume the Giants get past the Eagles, but they've already pulled off two amazing escapes - first, sneaking into the finals, and second, Saturday. Can they do a third? PREMIERSHIP FROM EIGHTH!!! Yeah nah.

I will convert to whatever religion is required in order for Geelong to beat Sydney. Send me a sign. Even if it involves Scientology.

 

[cobl04]

Love the Eagles, I do, and would love nothing more than to see them beat GWS, but I wouldn't be tipping them. I think it's Adelaide vs Sydney and Richmond vs GWS, which should, in theory, set us up with an Adelaide-Richmond grand final, which would be fucking wicked. I'll obviously be passionately supporting the Tigers, but there's a lot to like about the Crows, too.

 

[Axver]

Adelaide vs Richmond or West Coast is the only acceptable outcome.

And West Coast ain't happening.

 

[kabigon]

At least we're guaranteed that one of geelong or sydney will be knocked out this week. If the other loses a week later I'll be happy.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

The idea of Sydney making/winning the GF from 0-6 brings a great deal of discomfort to me.

 

[Axver]

Honestly, almost any other team, I'd love to see them do it from 0-6. What a story, you know?

But I'm so fucking sick of Sydney.

 

[kabigon]

Just the trifecta of geelong hawthorn and sydney since 2007. Collingwood in 2010 and the bulldogs last year and that's it. Someone else's turn.

 

[cobl04]

I might try to get to North Port Oval on Sunday. Williamstown vs Port Melbourne should be fucking ace. Two standalones. Winner plays Box Hill (who will likely beat Richmond's twos).

 

[cobl04]

Watch this from 1:57 onwards and then kill yourself because you're so depressed.

 

[Axver]

Wow so the Dees delisted Trengove.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Stringer up for trade.

 

[cobl04]

Trengove really sad. Stringer, well, it sounds like the Bulldogs boys really enjoyed themselves after winning the flag.

 

[bono_man2002]

Probably worth as much as Vickery going on 2017 form.

 

[Axver]

Wonder how much of a... package he'll receive from another club.
