    A.F.L. Thread II

    Feeling optimistic/hopeful, but not at all confident. Would back the boys in unequivocally against any team other than Geelong-in-the-2nd half of September. Hopefully we kick straight.

    Classic prisoners dilemma!

    Ranking the Cricinfo All-Time XIs

    Was a popular poll wasn't it? I think England were done quite a while back.

    Yeah, compared to what Joni?

    ***Official*** Spot-Fixing Scandal

    Why would you ever plead guilty when you know you can set your watch by the powers-that-be, national and international, going to water, deciding its all too hard, and relenting.

    Yeah, would be extremely disappointed if they were let back in while these allegations remain unresolved.

    Sorry for making conversation. :dry:

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Someone was saying a little while back that the GC were really going to struggle next year based on their form in the VFL, but their team is coming together pretty nicely, esp. when you throw in all the high picks they're going to get in the draft. Don't think they'll be any better than...

    I just looked up the "Swallow Website". Hes almost unrecognisable in some of those pics!

    A.F.L. Thread II

    I'm going to the Prelim, but I've got a sick feeling I'm going to leave shattered like I did in 07. When the ****s on OWAAT start talking about giving Bartel and Ling run with jobs on Swan and Pendlebury, to free up Ablett, Selwood, Chapman, Kelly, and Corey to be creative, it sounds...

    Rafa vs the Djoker. One of those matches where you just hope the earth swallows the court tbh. Backing Novak to retire early in the third with a stubbed pinky toe.

    What would you do if...

    Again though, there are the other factors that are always going to be specific to a case and need to be considered in making that decision. How did he look making his half-centuries? How did he get out (was it good bowling or brainfart shots)? Who would come in for him if you did drop him...

    What would you do if...

    Was a fair enough joke, given the suggested scenario. If we don't keep some sense of gallows humour about this situation, we'll all be in tears. If such jibes become persistent or are just blatantly dragging a comment/conversation that has nothing to do with the situation into it, that is a...

    What would you do if...

    Made that post just in time. Was just coming in here to move it to the cricket games sub-forum. Obviously its better to have a player that consistently gets to 70 and gets out than one who consistently gets out for 20-30. That said, I tend to subscribe to the theory that in one very...

    Possibly a bit of wishful hyperbole there! :p

    A.F.L. Thread II

    As much as he's given us grief about still having it all to prove in PF and GFs, and being jealous of the Cats - and he's right on both counts, if not about the "hatred" - I think he might be feeling that with the age of the Geelong team and maybe Ablett heading north at the end of the year...

    And I know they don't count finals, but he had a great first week in September as well. Agreed, forgot about him when I was floating Rioli and Betts - Milne and Le Cras should have been the two forward pockets. I would feel pretty neutral about Harvey getting in ahead of either Selwood or...

    A.F.L. Thread II

    He's a great player, but who would you omit for him? (Lemme take a wild guess and say Pendlebury or Didak?)

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Franklin over Pavlich is a horrible call, with Hall and Riewoldt already in the team. Otherwise i was pretty close. Hayes is stiff, but there are only 22 spots i suppose. Tend to agree with the viewpoint that as Sandilands averaged 110 mins a game, a second specialist ruckman is a pretty big...
