BookMan Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Phew, just viewed the first quarter of the Port/Sydney game. I'm exhausted just from watching it! What a grind it was. Syd a couple of goals up. Great game..Sydney up 46-26 but anyone's game how about ST Kilda against Gold coast?? Leading by 47 points at half time <deleted>! I will be 1/5 correct after tonight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 GC down to the St's by 28 points. That's losses to SK and Melbourne in the first 2 weeks. Games I'm sure they would've pencilled in. The decision to appoint Rocket Eade isn't looking that good at the minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a nice idea, but it's backfired. Haha! Top effort from Sydney. The backline performed way above my expectations. looks like Rampe might fill the Malceski role. Butterfingers Reid looks much better in defense than he does up front. Heeney had a good night, as did Kennedy and mcveigh ..well, everyone really. That was the lowest score Port has kicked under Hinkley, and the biggest margin loss for over a year. GS must have enjoyed the atmosphere...esp. After 3Q time I hope some of my tips win tomorrow..I'm handing over to Chimpy for next week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, the club could insert a copy of the rule book into their membership packs. <deleted> me. Never heard such <deleted>. There was a surprisingly vocal Sydney contingent and not just the mob behind the goals. I should have taken a mouth guard with me, having to bite my tongue so often was quite painful. The new Adelaide Oval is pretty flash, the atmosphere is beaten up a bit though and it's <deleted> exxy for a pint $A9! Thankfully no West End Isaac Heeney's going to be a gun if he keeps this up, another Parker or Hanerbury... A much improved team from last week and a strong 4 quarter effort. Though Port were stiff with a few calls going against them, that 50 given to Westoff, would've made AlexRRR blush... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Fyfe is looking very Brownlow like this year Fyfe ticks all of the boxes. Kicks goals, takes hangers and keeps on running. Freo looked very good today. From what I've seen so far, hawthorn, Syd and Freo look to be have a bit of a gap between the next best. There's a long way to go though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very beginning, before the bounce, they were pretty loud but I wouldn't say the loudest I've seen heard. Maybe the fireworks scared Richo a bit.. I've heard rugby crowds louder and AFL crowds at the MCG & SCG that were louder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xangsamhua Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 What an enigma Nth Melbourne is but having said that, looks like Brisbane hasn't got much to show us this year. Changed my tip to Brisbane half an hour before the game. Maybe start backing Brisbane in the second half of the season. That's the way they've been the last two years. At the moment they just don't have the skills, and without Rockliff and Hanley for several more weeks they'll continue to struggle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment they just don't have the skills, and without Rockliff and Hanley for several more weeks they'll continue to struggle. IMO, the Lions have been bitterly disappointing. Rockliff and hanley are big outs, but they have Rich and Leuenberger back from injury and have picked up Beams, Robinson and Christensen. They've hardly been competitive in the first 2 games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron19 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The AFL’s Match Review Panel has charged Fremantle forward Hayden Ballantyne with rough conduct in Sunday’s match at Simonds Stadium.Ballantyne attempted to bump Geelong's Harry Taylor during the fourth quarter, but made contact with the defender’s head.Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Geelong Cats Football Club, it was the view of the panel the incident should be classified as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. The offence was classified as a two-match sanction. The player has an applicable bad record, which INCREASES the penalty to a three-match sanction. An early plea can reduce the penalty to a two-match sanction.If he accepts with an early plea, the 27-year-old will miss the round 3 Carlton Draught Derby against West Coast and the round 4 Len Hall Tribute game against Sydney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
