AFL round 7

Gee he's a typical low Collingwood scum of a player Heath Shaw he clearly punched ballantyne in the nuts, good on ballantyne for both kicking the goal and then getting stuck into him afterwards.

I wonder how much appetite for a fight both the Pies and the Swans have from here?

yeah Ballantyne wouldn't even think of doing anything like that.

Big game from Shaw, he's given away two vital goals in the last minute of each quarter through typical selfish undisciplined acts.

Maybe you should have thought of that before you backed the low scum.

Great kick by  krakouer from the boundary.

big goal from swan, pies close to 25 points and starting to get a bit of momentum.

freo holding on in the turnover fest that has marred the 3rd quarte,r Pies field kicking has been disgraceful. and the dockers haven't been much better.

Pies butchering their chances at the moment with Swan spraying it out on the full on the run under not much pressure

swans scrambles a goal with assistance from Elliot, pies close again to 24 points with 6min 23 left in the third

Some like dfal Thomas really needs to stand and put his stamp on this game for the Pies, pies get a free kick and a 50m  that gifts a goal to blair and now kennedy goals, pies have it got back to 12 points now and are right back in this game with 3min 15 second left in the 3rd quarter.

dwyer goals and now its back to 5 points  with 1min 34 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.

The low scum are about to run over them chante, I broke my own rules in doing so but couldn't see them losing this one especially after griffin went down I've cbeen hipping away at them in the run and they're a pretty tidy result for me now if they get up from here, they're not home yet by any means but if they keep playing the way they've been playing over the last 15 minutes and keep their work rate up they should just roll over the top of the dockers from here.

WD Lets.

the luck of the irsh how did did that skid through mooney , pies in front by 2points with 17min 17 seconds in the final quarter.

How dare you bet in without posting here first..... 

ballantyne hits the post, pies in front by 1 point with 15min 46 left.

Freo to their credit trying desperately to lift and silvagni misses and its all tied up with 14min 32 left.

Just in case somebody on this forum can't afford a tv yet cares enough to be betting?

this game is really up for grabs pies turning over the ball again and freo really lifting, dockers back in front by 6 points courtesy of a big hannath goal with 12min 56 left.

mayne gaols, freo back to a 11 point lead with 10min and 9 second left.

freo too god , great fightback and now back out to an 18point lead. Terrific fightbackwith 7min 38 left. this would a huge win if they hold on.

This is going to be a magnificent win by freo a real season defining win, if they don't live up to this sort of fight for the rest of the season it's an indictment on the club as this sort of win should give them some real momentum. They lead by 24 points after walters goal with 5min and 2 second sleft

How big does shaw's undisciplined acts at the end of the  second quarter look now that was two extra goals they had to peg back that he was directly responsible for. The pies have got some real problems, this was a game they should have won after hitting the front and with freo having no premier ruckman from early in the game. Where is Dale Thomas he's done next to nothing again when it really mattered and he's not an orphan.

QLynch GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE looks 2nd rate,
Pies Desperate Need a Young Big Forward or same will happen to them as Saints

Went to the Hawks vs Swans, Hawks were very impressive - Hodge clearly their best but they had good players all over the ground

Swans were wasteful in front of goal and it seemed like every time we missed they went up the other end and scored - in saying that we did well not to get totally blown out of the water

The disallowed goal was a shocker and the video umpire call - unbelievable - it seemed like the goal umpire gave the goal and then they went upstairs saying they thought it was touched, no one at the ground knew what was happening

Was great to see Goodes playing so well

Well done Hawks

Lucky the Dockers got up, eased the pain a bit

should be a fascinating game today between the Demons and the Suns - I think the market is back to front especially with Hunt and Dixon out for the Suns

I'm on the Dees without a lot of confidence

only a casual observer of AFL but backing a team away from home at $1.07 with two wins from six and both those against lowly teams seems folly

i will be having a lay of that - come on my local team GWS

i look like being wrong about the 1.07 lay but not about previous assertions that GWS is a massive failure

rueing i have been sucked into it today but surely this Sheffield Shield type crowd is the death knell or is the dead horse going to be repeatedly flogged?

You do realise it is 'dress as an orange seat' day don't you Craig?

There was some Good sign for Melb against Carl.
Melb Morals and possible thrashing against Gold Coast. If they lose today they should put the white flag up for the rest of th year an sack everybody.

Craig dont worry about GWS this is all a learning Curb.
Gold Coast went out 1st year to get Mature players an when Gold Coast are competitive most will be gone.
GWS have just developed Kids. Picked up Mature Fringe players. Picked up Good Kids have a great list that in 2 years could be unbeatable.
They alos will just pick a choose what player they want next year.
Expect Thomas and Buddy to go, plenty ore to come.
Afl will make sure GWS are a Powerhouse so they get some supporters.

Pies to hav a Huge slide over next 3 years paid to much to keep Cloke and now have no money to keep others
What will drive fans away is every week 6 games that are blowouts and boring.
What Kids are going to watch thre team get thrashd every week and never competitive feel sorry for any Dogs Supporters.
Will never make it unless merges.

Lloydy

lol joel

Craig what you're looking at is basically an entire team full of 2nd year players, quite a few young players tend to struggle a bit in their second season and if any regular team has any more than six 2nd year players they tend to suffer a bit as a result so you can imagine how difficult it is to basically have a team full of 2nd year players.
GWS will be frightening in a few years time.

Joel they should have told the players they weren't included in that

Today could be record lowest Crowd ever for a Sunday. Both games.
Carl vs St Kilda they should of started it at 6pm not 740pm
Do they forget Kids have to go to school and Adults have to work

Well they are the same colour as witches hats

How would Adults get home from work and then get their kids and go back to the city by 6pm?

Very Good Question Joel.
Ill attempt to Answer.
Mothers Drop Kids Off
Public Transport
Leave work early
Monday night is for TV mainly so if earlier Kids can go to bed earlier
Miss 1st QTR

what is the crowd at the GWS game and what will be posted

3000 and 7000 would be my guess

So when do you suggest Home and Away would be shown?

I have counted at least 700 people.....

Another Great Question.
At 7:00 turn it over watch Home and Away when and Add brak comes on switch back to Footy.

I used to have a Huge Crush on Chloe. To this day i still think she is the hottest girl. Wonder if she will ever make a Comeback like Sally did. Ill start watching again if she was on

Disgraceful crowd & disgraceful effort from GWS. They could merge tomorrow with Bulldogs & still have ordinary team with little support

They wont merge

whilst i have thought for a while they are a dead duck i do think they would be better off playing at Blacktown, there would be more community involvement.

Maybe also play at a few other western sydney AFL grounds - crowd control at least in the short term is not going to be an issue

Craig,
Honest do you believe people in West will jump onto AFL ifthey are getting thrashed all the time.
I worked 1 Year in Parramatta and over 2000 employees they hated AFL.
I think i knew 4 people that followed AFL but number one was Rugby.
In a Couple ofyears when they are Competitive maybe some will Jump on.

This year AFL is a Joke so many in competitive games

Lloydie i have started a thread previously stating exactly that

my comments are just to help the AFL if they do persist in their 300 year plan

Competitive Team.
Hawks
Cats best to watch so far
Swans

Same Bracket lesser
Blues Exciting to watch but still to many turnovers
Pies but on the Slide
Dons
Freo (But terrible to watch)
Tigers

Competitive but no world beaters
Roos
Eagles (At home)
Crows but Draw saves them
Power for now

Dont even get out of bed for
Lions
Suns
Giants for many who dont know who Giants are its GWS. Ask everybody you know. Who are the Giants? Everybody will say a USA side
Demons
Bulldogs Who are completely gone. Ther so called Kids are playing in 2nds VFL and playing Old Vetrens now. My Mate told me Brad Johnson killed Doggies.

I left out Saints who are on the Huge Slide and are Competitive still but have no future next 5 years

gerard healy said gold coast ****s

live on the tv

well written Lloydy

repeatedly it is reported in Sydney how the NRL administration pales in comparison with the AFL's

How having such a lopsided comp can be seen as a good thing is beyond me tho

you had a team in your third tier $1.10 against a team in your 4th tier (Roos v Bulldogs)

even an outsider like me can see the talent is spread too thin

why not have two divisions? - give Tassie a team too - seems they have a genuine desire for one rather than western sydney

i'll do the job for a 1/4 of the pay too

Saints

vaginas Joel

Gold Coast Vaginas....better than Suns I guess

What did Brad Johnson do to the Dogs?

they play like the Gold Coast meter maids

Wanted Aker out at all Costs
Did what he liked
Stayed 3 year to long
Demanded Certain players to play.

At least he kept smiling

I would prefer a BJ to Aker any day

Melb are a Shambles.
How did i get Sucked into Backing them

Is this Mark Neelds last game

I think he's just gone home

I backed the Dees as underdogs due to the Suns not having proved themselves at the G. Not a wise bet..

I just heard on Radio people are leaving the game already.
This is the End of Melbourne

Ski season started early

Tom Lynch having a good day

gold coast only 13 points from lemon chicken

Garry Lyon is getting what he deserves.

Merge Demons with Giants, sack both coaches & get Paul Roos to coach. AFL needs to do something b/c the bottom two teams are an embarrassment & getting worse.

Demons terrible

Worst 50m penalty ever?

like the saints jumper

wd Lets

Certainly different..  What is that jumper in aid of?  Ridiculous.

Why are Carlton wearing white when Saints have some white in jumper. whats wrong with their traditional jumper

ffs i really need Blues for my footy tipping but i think saints are huge chance

Why are the umpires not paying free kicks to Saints.  Either way, Saints all over them, Blues in trouble with early injuries, BIG upset coming here.

3 injuries.  Needles coming out..

Yep injuries,get on saints..they should be 4 in front

Shoulder and 2 hamstrings?  They need to be 8 in front by 3 quarter time or they can't win.

Someone else said this,saints jumper,a tribute to Weekend Hustler..same colours..

Saints home

Imo

Did they just call play on for Saad?  Thought once you had started the time was off?

Yeah I am on big, no drama.

Carlton ruckman, no eyes for the ball, yet no free?  Swallowed the whistle this mob..

FCUKING BANG.  These Blues mugs are lost at see...

It's over more than it was 14 minutes ago

No deliberate?  rotflmfao

Only problem here, is they should be about 8 goals up by now with this domination..

mick coming down to the bench,tells me he thinks they are gone..

Saints need to blow this out to 12 goals plus to make this game the positive that it should be.

Fkn Carlton poo fs. ruined my perfect tipping w/e

Saints are a spent force.  Interesting finish.  Free kicks still ****...

fmd

I called them gay too early

Limped home.  Forced to give up half my profit scrambling around finding bookies I hadn't already lumped on the Saints with to get on the Blues.
Oh well, a wins a win.

nice one putting carlton as the last leg of a multi
