Will27 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Really impressed with the way Horse has handled himself this past few weeks. His responses have been firm but measured. First some stupid comments from Hardwick, and now some idiotic ones from Clarkson. Hardwick telling jokes about Mrs Hardwick etc when they're winning premiership. Clarkson only has to mention something about the state of the game and the AFL <deleted> themselves and makes changes. Both showing their true colours a bit now when things aren't so rosy methinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Richmond has been found out by teams Hardwick is getting grumpy. Hardwick has two premierships in the case and Clarko has 4 so they don't care too much given they are rewarded with Million dollar salaries Funny how Clarko accused Papley of being a free kick milker. Frawley brought the free kick on by going in hard for no reason, so i'd say place the blame squarely on his own players. Classic deflection from Clarko, and it worked to some degree. Take the spotlight off his underperming high profile recruitment strategy and how he has lost the players 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Watching the Saturday Stretch and nearly spat the Maltesers out. The host, Kath Loughnan said she was loving the 17 fixture season. She asked Brad Johnson and Jordon Lewis what they thought. Johnson said "it was the only fair way to go". Lewis said "It sounds good in theory but it wouldn't be fair as some Melbourne clubs might have to travel to Perth and Adelaide when other teams in Melbourne might not have to". FMD. The mind boggles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every move the AFL have made in trying to speed up the game and opening up hasnt worked....becasue the coaches attack off defending, now do you recall when you had a grab for a mark 2 was enough to claim it? they dumped that on its head didnt they.....blind freddie and Bookman can see start paying them and the game starts to turn....you could add making the player taking the mark to have to go back and kick it rather than playing on....but i dont prefer that....how about paying frees, lot of dicey ones in the packs, congestion=frees god dam simple.... The dodo birds that push for 16 a side......VFA had it for years.....didnt stop scrums, flooding or anything and the reason many VFA sides kicked high scores were the same as for the VFL plus except lot of retired VFL players found themselves as pensioners for a couple of seasons in these sides..... You know if the umpires were alowed to unpire a game like they did 20 years ago you might find a big change in the way the game is played fellas.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a minute and 40 seconds to go, he goes deep to the pocket and kicks it out on the full. He had Viney spare in the middle. Just dumb.

BookmanBkk Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just noticed that the Swannies were the youngest team the past week. Poor old Clarko, beaten by a bunch of inexperienced young fellas who arrived at the ground on the school bus carrying their cut lunches from mom n dad. Rampe had a broken hand for half the game but was still almost the best for the Swans. Looking like the Eagles are coming back to premiership favoritism ... Still a big question mark ono what will happen if the finals series is a bubble in Brisbane/Gold Coast... Finals series in Perth and lock them in as flag winners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange season where the flag favourites are changing from week to week. WC will probably have to enter another hub towards the back end of the year as well. Still anyone's flag.

ozzydom Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I think its time to drop Kozzy Pickett .he is definatelty not Afl standard at this early stage of his career, maybe replace him with Neill-Bullen for a bit of speed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne looks so close to breakout but it seems to be continual stuff that you would reckon they have trained for dozens of times. Might come good for them towards season end .. if they can make finals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
