Round 5: the hair clogged shower drain games.

[spook]

Melbourne should have taken that deal and ran. I suspect Crows deal will be diluted this year. Although they are looking very impatient with their list build. Already flagged their 1st rounder this year is on the table. Thats looking like a top 5-8 pick.

Adelaide's first pick will be on the table if a bid for Welsh is likely to come before it. If they get a top-5 pick they'll keep it unless a bid comes for Welsh in tbe top 4, that's my guess. They'd be mad otherwise.

Vanden Hoogenband has been pretty ordinary as well lately but he is still young. Dropped a few sodas early last night. I didn't eatch after halftime
My feeling is that he will be a good player but not an exceptional one, not sure he will be winning any Colemans
We will see
The Dees rely enormously on their engine room in Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and Viney as well as the intercept marking of May and Lever. If you negate the engine room and make May and Lever accountable they struggle. Brisbane has a similar structure but what they have are better key forwards and then a number of good small forwards in Cameron, Bailey, McCarthy and Raynor. The Dees don't have that number of forward options.

Van Carey is probably more Van Earl Spalding. Blue-collar physical presence. Better kick than Earl though.

Still can't believe Melbourne knocked that back from the Crows last year.

And Oliver.

And if Petty tears it up against us, I'll *smile* spew.

I see what you did there! I'll just laugh at him.

And if Petty tears it up against us, I'll *smile* spew.

He teared it up the game against Melbn prior to last night's game & Zorko/Answerth were more than willing to remind him:

Good to see Cotch & Phil Smyth working their magick at the paddle poops

 

[TigerForce]

Will the Dogs p!ss on the Edge tonight?

 

[artball]

unnecessary cheap shop by Answerth who is apparently a tosser anyway

ah, that explains why he gets a game at the paddle poops

 

[BrisTiger24]

LMAO at Zorko saying Answerth is in the wrong and they don't want to win like that. He was instrumental in developing the wanker culture they play with

 

[mexican_radio]

Was the sling tackle from last night reviewed?

 

[Redford]

Hope the Throwdogs thump Arsendon tonight. Send them into their annual tail spin.

 

[22nd Man]

I suppose the GoDeez now get a 3 day extra break over us. Brilliant fixturing!!!

I think a 10 day break is sufficient for us.

 

[yo_eddy]

The Dogs' trickery and in close skills are way off what they use to be. JUH one speccie and goal, two terrible turnovers in the corridor. The ball often gets walked out of the middle.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

I think a 10 day break is sufficient for us.

We need 10 weeks.

Get this through your head, dude… The AFL don’t care about crowd numbers. Thursday night footy is a TV event. They wouldn’t give a flying F if 5,000 rocked up last night.

I didn’t watch much of last nights game. But I did watch Jon Ralph talk at half time. And he claimed that there will be no more Thursday night games after R15 this year. You should have seen his demeanour… he was sulking that badly he looked like he was on the verge of tears.

The AFL media propaganda machine is alive and well.



To me, what the crowd number was last night is irrelevant. Do you know why? Because if this game is played on Saturday afternoon, the crowd would have been significantly better. 40-50%.

A cold April Thursday night doesn’t compare with a mild 20 degree Saturday afternoon. Especially when there are no other Saturday arvo games in Melbourne this weekend.

Do you think they would have got 63,000 on Sat. afternoon? Their largest ever crowd (by 20000) is the 62000 for the Friday night final in 2022.
its a below ave Vic fan base v a Qld franchise club.

Clearly has to be something wrong with the surface!

[pete and tys]

Once again...NRL double very tight and much better than AFL social conscience round games.
Storm are flawed champions...like Premiership Tigers...well worth following.
