ROUND 10 - Other Games

Just watched the finish of Crows/Melbourne. Nearly every close game is mired in controversy because the rules have never been more nebulous. It's become impossible for veterans and newcomers alike to understand.

You've *smile* this, AFL. Go to hell.

It’s a huge issue. The AFL has treated the game with utter contempt with its endless tampering to produce a contrived outcome. It’s bastardised the game to the point nobody knows what the hell they are watching from one year to the next or even one week to the next. The umpires have no idea what’s expected of them, and meanwhile everybody loses interest because they’re so frustrated.

The AFL is eating itself. That Monash Uni study a while back predicted this would happen, and that the game was going to run into trouble.

Jimmy Bartel countered that Brisbane were missing Neale, Rayner, Lester and Gardiner.

Jimmy Bartel never was the sharpest tool in the shed. It's one thing to have injuries it's another altogether when it's to one group on the ground.
Missing 5 of our top 7 mids. Prestia, Cotchin, Edwards, Bolton and Lambert

Now they have Neale and Rayner out (Rayner btw is overrated) add in another 3, McGluggage, Lyons and Zorko. How do you reckon the lions would go if they had 5 of their mids out. We would annihilate them.

Im surprised he can put a sentence together Mr Potatoe Head.
We were missing our starting midfield.

A good result that freo won and stay below us. Saints losing was also good for us.

Would like GWS to win also, but under a goal to keep us in the 8 and keep the eagles on 24 points like Sydney.
I also hope that the Pies beat port to keep the power on 24 points.

It's not rocket science well unless your name is jimmy Bartel and the lion's supporters too who cant grasp simple logic.

Stkilda what a joke of a football club.
That recruiting drive was as bad as Collingwoods trade period.
Higgins average
Hill. Who ever signed off 800k for him needs to go. Shocking decision.
Hannebury. What disgraceful call to pick him up. He was cooked 3 years ago.
Ryder, he has one good game against Footscary and Stkilda put him in there team of the century. Overrated.
Jones. Is as bad as Hannebury, he gets injured sneezing.
Howard is ok but not a 500k defender.
Frawley and Mckernan :rotfl1 are they taking the *smile*?
Crouch nothing special, reminds me of Anthony miles gets a shiit load of it but has no influence on games .
And whoever selected Billings before Bompmytelly needs to give up recruiting because they are really poor judges of talent.

Yep.
For all the song n dance about their recruiting to balance and complement their over rated young superstars it's all turning into an erratic dysfunctional blood n gore horror show for St. Kiddenme :eek: :)) love a good horror show. A half good season with a finals appearance last year saw the fans n media in raptures. Being the perennial St Kiddenme, they've gotten totally *smile* faced n overdosed on the hype n fallen off a very big cliff again.

Pretty sure St. Kiddenme is the only Victorian based club that is still massively in debt and unlike the other clubs over recent years has done nothing to even pretend reducing their burgeoning liabilities, even though they're one of the clubs scoring plenty of extra cash through the AFL's Robin Hood equalisation funding scheme.

They've fallen off a big cliff. Maybe they overachieved last year but even so, that's a massive drop off. They aren't even competitive some games. I think Ratten is good coach but something is not right there.

Yep, people mistake mass recruiting of players as progress but when you’re recruiting mediocrity you’re going to get found out.

Exactly
You recruit 3 duds from other clubs on decent coin and the media get sucked in.
Houlighan, Blumfield, Bisscombe and Hudson?
Weller, Jackson and Hilton?
Ring a bell?
