No matter what they do with rules of AFL it will always be a thrill to watch for me.  I'd prefer to leave it as it is.  I don't like the advantage rule completely or the many reasons for a 50, but it's like a lady playing with her hair and make up. Never will be perfect. 

Looking forward to Tigers beat Pies by a point tomorrow. Sell out crowd. should be a rippa.

 The AFL's 2018 Brownlow Predictor Is Very Tight

The muck and fallout comes to light a number of years later....Well Neeld was an idiot for sure letting best and fairest Moloney who actually was forced out by Neeld as well as letting Captain Green retire and allowing Rivers to go to the Cats, but it really was under Bailey it all came unstuck, Big Jim has to shoulder the blame as well for allowing it to happen under his presidency, ive written about it here before within 2 or 3 seasons the team was wiped out a team that had been playing finals was wiped out.

Well there it is in BACK AND WHITE...the footy record is crock...yes Crock media has bought the footy record for 8 million big ones, legendary fairy floss magazine to feed the masses of junkies while waiting for the game to start...bad timing crock fans just need to jump on there smartphone now to get the players numbers...

 

Full of dribble as a young fan we would devour it from page to page in 15 min....ahh i do recall buying a few and saving them until they began to take up to much space....

You like it, I don't. No need to berate me.  Just say you like it and move on.  I just like watching footy.  Now chewy on your boot. 

 

Ok. Mistake noted. Friends again.

I got all worked up reading that Neeld article... that time under Bailey then Neeld still RUB's me up the wrong way, and to think a Brownlow medallist almost killed the club and to think Sheedy and Willams were a big wrap for Bailey and Malthouse adored Neeld.....OMG.....breath deeply one two three...big breath....ooooooommmmmm...

 

 

[AlexRRR]

Im expecting the Demons to hammer the Crows in Adelaide tonight, there should be enough venom in the tank after last weeks highway robbery ............wont even be close...........not one little bit................and i was thinking of picking the Dons is good last night, Swans are on struggle street there use by date is up, still may make the final 8 there swansong was a few years ago now.....

 

Good time for the Tigers to take a hit as it would send them back to the shed to sharpen the claws for the finals...also would guarantee an extra 100,000 finals tickets to be sold since the Pie army think its there year...Ho Chooks should be busy selling beer today your better off working than wasting your time watching it on AFL live....

 

Radar's Blues to snare one today?....just when you least expect it...Fj the quite guru of TV will get toasted by wild WILL's eagles...Dockers due and a lifeline to Ross since the Hawks dont travel well...Watts and co gees Eureka Stadium now its called...i cant keep up with them changes i still call it Docklands....finals to close for the Power to slip up today .....and i hope the Pussys get done today dont want them in the finals this year....

[stud858]

Tigers a minute away from starting. I was hoping to see Sam Lloyd in the line up to replace canstanya. His kicking has been way off.

[stud858]

Haha. So funny.  Constaya first goal of game 

[AlexRRR]

?

[stud858]

Omg short is kicking looonngggg

[stud858]

Tigers staying strong. Great last quarter.  Good win cementing their place.

 

Gws v saints next.  Enjoy the egg toss.

[AlexRRR]

Wild WILL didnt pick the Dee's tonight shame on you, there was no umpire on earth would get in our way tonight though at the 14.33 min mark of the 3rd a disgraceful free that wasn't.....lucky we ran all over then that quarter...

 

And the Blues pulled one off.....

P.S. Welcome to the footy forum Mr Stud, good to see a new contributor.   You will learn to tolerate Alex's twaddle.

Back in LOS,have been to spoilt with my fibre internet at home.

Laos internet was about as good as Paddy McCartin.

Well it's d day for my Kangas,lose this one and the season has past.

Well done to Radar's boys,can celebrate like a GF win,long time between drinks.

Here's to upsetting Alex and Will today.? 

[stud858]

Don't know if you saw the Higgins throw kick right on the goal line in tigers game.  Some were saying throwing the ball penalty,  if he threw the ball to his own hands or anther player or even the ground it would be throwing the ball but the ball was thrown to his boot which is classed as a kick.  I don't think there is a rule about how the ball must be dropped onto the boot while kicking.  It can be a throwing action too. Right?  Like you see young kids learning to play do.

Would've been disappointing had the goal been disallowed OMO.

 

We need more highlights like that.

[Will27]

Saw this interesting stat today.

 

But obviously Collingwood are clearly the 2nd best side in it?

 

 

[Will27]

Well gang, 7 picked 6 this week with the Nestle's going to Radar with the closest margin.

A good weekend for Radar with his beloved Carlton getting the choccies as well.

 

Grannysapples on 115 now has the lead over Ron on 114.

 

More huge games next week.

[farmerjo]

Back for a couple of weeks so will give Alex a hand with the fantasy wrap.

 

This week saw FJ 2305 overcome the DD's 2150

GA's cruise past NN's 896

And CCS's  1980 beat Rip's boys 1808

 

Two rounds left before the finals so there may be some busy trading trying to eek out every last dollar.

The ladder looks set at this stage.

Next week's draw is 

FJ V NN

DD V Rip

GA V CCS

Blues probably threw away their priority pick with that one, could of had 1st and 2nd in the draft.
