A.F.L. Thread II

[Spikey]

Hey Essendon, how are those hamstrings going?

Watson's is fine, that's all that matters

 

[Jono]

Nah there's something wrong with his hamstrings. How else can you explain him missing that goal to put you in front?

Nah just kidding. Watson is a gun, just brilliant.

But that is another game which Dean "the tool" Robinson cost you. If you actually had a full team on the park and hence more rotations you win.

 

[Spikey]

On the other hand, we don't run out the game like that last year, even with 21 fit players

Remember when North Melbourne beat Richmond?

Round Nineteen Tipping Update

Vimes = gone.

Harder week on the whole, but between us we again managed every game correct. Highlights being me calling the Cats' win, Augustus going for Freo (which Spikey got be default too) and Heef napping the Giants' downing of the ailing Power.

****, Freo punt paid off but Carlton scum didn't. Gained no ground on Howard.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Another pretty good round. Whoever wins out of Essendon vs North should probably make the 8, Sydney will probably finish first if they win and Collingwood need to win to finish top 2, and the friday night game and Adelaide vs Freo are interesting too.

The Run Home

Makes a good point about Carlton's percentage. What with their draw, I thought they'd be a sneaky chance of playing finals from here, but even in the likely event that they win all their remaining games, will struggle on the percentage front.

I guess this is what happens when, as a teenager, your father takes a job at Carlton

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Yeah! It's rare that any of my outside bets pay off, but picking GWS to put away the Power is probably my one for the season.

Well at least the Dogs are keeping up their ties with the suburb of Footscray

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Man this ****ing season gets better and better.

 

[Spikey]

this sort of behaviour wouldn't happen at essendon, tom campbell

 

[Jono]

At Essendon Tom Campbell would have his hamstring torn off the bone so wouldn't be able to go out at 3am and get on the drugggggggs

 

[Spikey]

we're just thinking about the welfare of our players.

You still tasting the weekend boi?

 

[howardj]

Still holding out hope for my Eagles

What a game from Kerr-ey on the weekend, 36 disposals

Need the midfield to get back to early season form, and for Kennedy and Embley to get back and fire

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

You still tasting the weekend boi?

Tasting what? They put in a pretty good first half performance against a team who'll probably play finals. Not much to taste really.
