FUCK OFF DAWN FRENCH

AND WILL A MOD PLEASE FlX THIS FUCKING CLF GLITCH. RUINS POSTS.

 

[Axver]

And yet I feel so empty!

Scoreline's pretty flattering in the end. Hope Sheeds gives GWS a bollocksing for that second half.

FUCK OFF DAWN FRENCH

Oh god, I know. Is she THAT desperate for a gig these days? Possibly worse than Jaimee Rogers.

 

[Axver]

You folks seen this?

Time-on: AFL investigates time-keeping blunder

Also, rather low scoring first quarter in the Port vs Richmond game. Tiges lead, at least.

 

[Reggo]

From Facebook:

Richmond FC
‎1/4 time at AAMI and the Tiges go in ahead by 12 points.

3.2.29 to 1.2.8

Scrappy affair in slippery conditions so far. Ivan and Cotch off to a good start

29-8 =/= 12

 

[Reggo]

3 goals and 2 behinds =/= 29 points, either. Who's drunk and posting for Richmond on Facebook?

I laughed initially - but it's actually just a simple typo. They meant 20. 9 is right next to 0.

Port looks pretty listless in the second quarter. Richmond's slowly but surely extending their lead, and it could be more too. Had one great shot hit the post, and a couple of tough attempts only missed by a little.

 

[Reggo]

I know, but still. It's sort of funny.

Half a lacklustre Blues game is all the footy excitement I can handle at midnight. My body is requiring me to sleep.

 

[cobl04]

FUCK! It's 42-14! Go the Tigs!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Port are getting torn apart hopelessly this quarter. It's almost depressing seeing them like this at home.

 

[Reggo]

CARN TIGES!

OK, I'm done. Good night.

Quick question: What's a "Waffle" game?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh my god the booing after the half time siren.

 

[Axver]

Wow, Port are just pitiful. I mean, I thought Richmond would be the better team, but not by this huge disparity. Feels like Port 2011 has come right back.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

210 to 132 disposals in favour of Richmond. Says it all, doesn't it?

 

[Axver]

Port don't even seem to be trying! And this in the game that was meant to announce their revival as A Thing.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

On another note, Riewoldt has been very poor so far. Gave away a 50 for throwing a hissy fit at the umpire. Something's not right with him.

 

[Axver]

Haha, Riewoldt just showed you.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I should do this more often.

 

[intedomine]

Two goals from free kicks for Port Power. They're coming back at us!

 

[Axver]

Seems to be the only way Port can get a goal. Their attack is just the most drearily haphazard thing. No wonder they're so far down at the moment! No sense of direction, no vision, nothing.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Port need soft free kicks near goal to be competitive. Hahaha.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Holy crap this match is hilariously bad.

 

[Axver]

Oh come ON Richmond, just put them to the sword; stop dithering around.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Yep, that umpire with the bald patch has it in for the Tigers.

 

[Axver]

Another soft goal gifted to Port. Don't agree that Richmond's kick right beforehand wasn't 15. Looked to be just far enough to me.

Now countdown to Bruce's obligatory "the next goal's going to be really crucial in the context of this game" ...

 

[Axver]

By the way, it's really close at quarter time in the West Coast vs North Melbourne game. If North Melbourne win, not only will no team be undefeated at the end of the round, but Collingwood will STILL be outside the eight.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Waffle - WAFL/Western Australian Football League. Probably the second biggest state league in the nation.

Pretty close game over at Subi, wish I could be watching it.

 

[cobl04]

Glad Port suck again.

 

[Axver]

Richmond wins in a very dour game ... kind of glad it's over really. Port look like they've tossed out a fair few of their recent games while the Tiges were hot and cold.

Looks like inaccuracy is hurting West Coast, while the 'Roos are kicking remarkably straight.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Anyone remember this game? From 40 points down at 3/4 time.

(I've no idea why it makes duplicates.)
