Bump

[azabob]

Easty I reckon Canberra on Friday night may get your snow wish across the line! I heard that the Hawks don’t have long sleeve jumpers.

Clarko won't allow them.

[Daughter of the West]

Hey, did you know it's cold at the game tonight? Did you know it's snowing?

Watching the telecast with the sound on (why do I do it to myself?), I would never have realised...

Not watching it. The footy commentary is inane. Ling and McAvaney drive me nuts. Seems to be a frontal lobotomy is a prerequisite qualification for channel 7. Not sure Basil Zemplis is still commentating - he was bad too. Best to watch with no audio or even better if it is two teams you care very little about play some jazz music instead. Got a soft spot for Darcy and also for Matt Richardson though.

Hubby has it going on the TV right in front of me. I'm studying (attempting to acquaint myself with the intricacies of the Acromioclavicular Joint) but the stupid flashes of orange keep catching my eye.

[Remi Moses]

What about Dr Taylor calling Jeremy Cameron’s hammy ?
Just shut up for god sake !
GWS getting pantsed in the snow ( just in case you didn’t know )
Injuries hurting them , but team selection is mystifying.
Mummy and Simpson on a wet night ? :confused:

[Rocket Science]

I thought it was impossible to frig up long sleeves on a guernsey but yep, fluoro orange'll do it.

Let's hope they finish nice and banged up.

McAvaney and Ling are unlistenable. Silence as the alternative is simply a far more comfortable and informative viewing experience.

Is there an industry more self praising than this mob?

I watched Ch7 on mute, and listened to the ABC radio call.

Malthouse was great, he was polite, but thought the Giants were rubbish and explained why.

[Rocket Science]

So the Giants were just held to the lowest score in their history.

Satisfying as is this I hope it doesn't sting them into action.

Of course it will. They are exactly like Port Adelaide. Kick up the a**e and then they come to play.

Training to be a physio or gp? Good luck with the studies. Yeah - orange is the new blahh.

[1eyedog]

We just need it to keep snowing

Cheers Josie - looking to be a physio's poor cousin (an exercise physiologist). I'm not smart enough for medicine! :D

[Hotdog60]

Wow what has the world come too.
Even an exercise has to be in the right head space before you can do it. :p

That would be a psychologist, not a physiologist.

The spelling difference is subtle. The field is not. :cool:

I know it was more a play on words.;)

[Remi Moses]

The whole long sleeves v short sleeves is the biggest load of dogs Bollocks I’ve ever heard

[bornadog]

The whole long sleeves v short sleeves is the biggest load of dogs Bollocks I’ve ever heard

Media just being stupid again

[Rocket Science]

The whole long sleeves v short sleeves is the biggest load of dogs Bollocks I’ve ever heard

It's what passes for #content in today's AFEL.

Long sleeves rule though and I won't countenance any other view.

[Murphy'sLore]

Who was on the radio today I heard with half an ear saying it was easier to hang onto a ball in the wet with long sleeves?

[1eyedog]

Long sleeves make for a far more stylish footballer. Much love to Minton-Connell.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Any Woofers keen to catch up post game for either a celebratory or commisseration drink?
My wife has kindly said she will take the kids back to the hotel and let me off the leash..so to speak.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Feeling lucky, we scored the last of the cheersquad guest passes.

[1eyedog]

Hardie / Axe there's been some greats. Suckling coming out in the hooped sleeves a few weeks ago made my heart flutter. KT used to rock the sleeves too nuff said.

[Ghost Dog]

Dear Western Bulldogs
Please do not be beaten by Essendon. It's too traumatic.

[Twodogs]

Who was on the radio today I heard with half an ear saying it was easier to hang onto a ball in the wet with long sleeves?

Yeah, it was. It had to be bloody wet for it to make a difference though.

[Happy Days]

The Freo Saints result is pretty irrelevant, but Freo demonstrating enough form to be reasonably confident they'll beat the Bombres next week at home.

[chef]

Freo can still play finals, we need them to drop this game.

They'll beat the Bombers and could beat Port.

[bulldogtragic]

Saints, and vicariously us, absolutely robbed by the umpiring.

[Rocket Science]

Carna Sainters

[jeemak]

Well done Saints! Glad I tuned in for the last five minutes.

[bulldogtragic]

Great win Sainters. Freo, go and beat Essendon & Port now.

[chef]

On ya Sainters.

[Rocket Science]

Now bring on a percentage-denting flogging of the Crows please and thank you.

[bornadog]

Well done Saints! Glad I tuned in for the last five minutes.

I watched the last quarter, tough battle, I thought the Saints had blown it with lots of opportunities gone begging. Now to barrack for Freo next week.

[Bulldog4life]

I watched the last quarter, tough battle, I thought the Saints had blown it with lots of opportunities gone begging. Now to barrack for Freo next week.

Yes isn't it fun.

[comrade]

Relying on Freo to help us...ewww.

[1eyedog]

I watched the last quarter, tough battle, I thought the Saints had blown it with lots of opportunities gone begging. Now to barrack for Freo next week.

Same tight finish. Now we need the Cokers to turn a 22 point 3q time lead into a 10 goal win.
