Round 13: the Crystal Pepsi games.

Don't worry, Zips, I said that at the time. I was one of Clarke's biggest critics for the excess of flankers and 'midgets'.
BTW, for his critics, not a bad game by JVR today; he's progressing.
We should be still up there.
Clarke has left us back in the glory years of the late 80's
 
I’ve seen a a few occasions where a smaller teammate has tried to replace May as the man on the mark and tell May to get down the ground to defend (which I assume is a team rule, makes sense to have your no.1 defender down where the ball is about to go so he can defend it) but May has just ignored them and stayed on the mark. I thought he looked selfish.
I saw that. Cost a goal too.
 
OMG is BT seriously that stupid.

In a questioning and seemingly surprised tone
"What do you make of the booing of Maynard, is that related to the Brayshaw incident"............................................really? He's that dumb he has to ask that
He's a Skunks man through and through, after the Tigers let him go for Roach as our KPF. Just trying to sound insouciant.

Yeah, but once “stand” is called you can’t change player can you?

Talyor just said Melbourne are missing Melchum?
Is he serious??
Taylor, along with anybody associated with writing about or broadcasting AFL should be highlighting what really is missing in todays game.

And that is a logical and seamless umpiring of the game (with a max 2 field umpires) based on a feel for the game and the capacity to read the bulls#%*^t performances that have crept into the game - nipping that behaviour in the bud by giving free kicks against these performances - like faking for a free.

I disagree with the pundits and coaches that make the tired excuse the game is hard to umpire. It’s not. Just ask the ghost of Jeff Crouch!

We expect discipline and accountability from the players - the same should be expected from the umpires.

What is missing is the integrity, honesty, professionalism and discipline from the shambolic AFL administration and a compliant football media that has dragged the game into disrepute!

Trac's ribs broken. Penalise Darcy !!!!! Do it you soft *smile*!!!
Nah, mate, he's allowed to fly for a mark or spoil. He was watching and flying at the ball. Happens 150 times a game; you know that.

Demons have had more inside 50s but have just been super incompetent inside 50. But they needed Pettracca, he's been on fire for them.

Oh yes Demons were 6-1 for frees, now 9-12.
The worm turns; it's just a matter of when.

Longmuire needs to start planning for September.
He needs to avoid Collingwood at all costs.
They are the only side that will beat them.
Degoey Penderbury and McStay still to come back.

6th now
North next week.
They finish top 4.
Get ready for B2B

McCrae is turning duds into players.
Kruger 3 goals
Harrison 3 goals
Will be 8th next week if giants beat Port at home & Dockers beat Bulldogs at home as Pies have their bye. Then there in a group of 10 within a couple of games of each other. Pies have a reasonable remaining draw and will likely make it but will have to work for it. In their wins they've had 3 wins by a goal or less and 2 draws. They're not half the team they were last year when they were 11 wins, 2 losses after 13.

Mighta got a couple of concussions during his playing career n his brains all dried out n shriveled up with CTE. Then again seeing as it's the Barge flapping his chops, perhaps it's just inherent stupidity in action.
