ww  .... they laugh because blokes that are nearly 7 foot tall and a 120 kg aren't supposed to be able to bounce a footy and sprint and even kick the ball straight, it's just not a skill set the majority of them have ever had ... and so when one of 'em does it people find it humourous.
ps: don't write off the orks as a flag threat yet.... the good sides at the pointy end have usually jsut started ramping up at this time of the season. the best side i've ever seen was a few goals behind at half time in nearly every game until four games out froom finals... and then just started destroying other sides from first bounce.

Gee GWS have got some talent at their disposal, they're going to be a force for some time in the very near future, if not sooner, if they can keep them all together.

my novice pick is the Swans to win it all.

who do the good old Collingwood play this weekend?

thanks. easy for the mighty Sydney Swans once again

yeah I'm pretty sure they're gonna win the Premiership this time around

Oh dear, reality check for North, can't possibly win the flag as I've repeatedly stated and that's despite the fact they'll probably finish top 4.

reality check for north hey lets elope? you have been waiting 10 eeks to put the boots in to north..IMO may have been a different result if played in melbourne. the upside north played too top heavy on a small ground...maybe you will realise franklin always plays upfield and the great wayne carey had to do the same at the SCG. just like WCE , well i shouldnt class sydney as your mob. hopeless playing interstate. north were over due for a loss, and a healthy loss only 4 goals. injured goldstein and still 5 players missing....it wasnt a bad loss after all. ps...sydney has by far the best midfield of any team.

Also lets if north finishes in the top 4 which i doubt..have the hardest run home.i hope they get the opportunity to play WCE in melbourne. WCE only won the prem final being played in WA

Cats 20 points down.  Started the game with the line at -48.5.  Playing horrible footy.  Carlton inspired.  But have only had 2 on the bench for a quarter now, and will go the next half the same.

The straight up true odds from here is Geelong 1.754 to win.  Can get 1.73 on Crown, with Carlton at a huge disadvantage in the final half.

Watching the game, very risky bet.  But based on the numbers, Geelong have to be considered HUGE overs at that price.

go blues !!!

Hey Lloydy how long before that statue of Brendan Bolton is built outside Princess Park

who's wayne the stopper?

Its good we are winning but its Hurting our Rebuild.
Isnt that crazy to say that.
We have Good Top 10 then the list drops right off. Most of them will Drop off over the years.
Its Crazy that you have to bottom out to be good these days.
GWS has robbed most of the Youth and still will.
Its great Collingwood wont make it and their Rd1 Goes to GWS.
There are to many teams.
Cull 4 of them.
Send 1 To Gold Coast to Merge.
Look at Crowds for the weeker followings they are winning and nobody turns up.

wayne the stopper is a good friend of mine who is the unluckiest person i've ever known. When he piles it on something that is "unbeatable"..... it stops or the game gets turned around immediately and in the majority of his bets. He backs in play mainly and always short priced events that otherwise appear to be certainties. Miracles happen when he bets, i've seen him beaten when new records have been set on at least half a dozen occaisions. In the crew i hang around with ... people just shake their heads in disbelief at what happens when he gets his bet on..... and the more he bets... the worse the miracle is. He is like some others that have been on hte bf forum ..... has lost his house, car, wife, everything except the pension (and has almost blown that with money lenders like money3 etc. etc. etc.) and lives in a pub. I'm not kidding, he is, of the billions of people on this planet... THE most incredible loser you could ever meet. And yet........ i've never once seen or heard him complain about his luck.... accepts it like the champion bloke that he is.

Joel,

Hawks Bottomed out and where terrible for 5-6 Years.
They then drafted smart
Roughy, Lewis, Hodge,
They did that deal with Freo, Croad for picks then 2 years later got him back.
Made most of Free Agency as players dont want to play for weak teams.

Carlton were rebuilding beautifully till they went out and gave away the world for Judd.

Touch wet on the Gold Coast for tonight's big game

Dangerfield .. a lazy 220 plus supercoach points.... ffs he's a machine. Still the cats got exposed a bit by roos tonight. too many geelong players don't go hard for more than a half, north nearly had them if their midfield didn't get wounded.

What a game north. 11 players out and if not for bad kicking would have won..what do you think of them now lets?.. no doubt you will neet them in 3 weeks still depleted which helps any team.. as good as norths playing they will now struggle to hold a spot in the top 4 due to ling list of injuries

lol lol lol...your a funny fella lets...past 2 previous years you made other excuses....ummm only waite of the older list is injured...get it right.. take 11 players out of WCE  and your a **** team. cunnington swallow fit last week they beat geelonh...cunningto swallow played this week..they win. controlled the game most the night, won the fights,dominated pocession. just kicked badly. hope they play WCE in melb during the finals lets.
