Bump

[bornadog]

Heeny is a star

[Dry Rot]

Heeny is a star

Hey, I came here to post that.

Heeney is one of my favourite players. Great advertisement for their Academy.

[Dry Rot]

Swans will make top 4 this season.

They will also chop us to bits next week.

[Happy Days]

Kind of can’t stop thinking about how bad Sydney are gonna belt us next week but this game is so sick.

[chef]

Dalrymple has been picking some great kids.

[bornadog]

Buddy beautiful

[Axe Man]

Be a shame if a few swans players were to catch covid from that crowd.

[chef]

That was nuts. Kind of glad it'll probably never happen again.

[Grantysghost]

That was nuts. Kind of glad it'll probably never happen again.

Did they have any plan to protect him because that was insane!

I reckon there were a few hairy moments.

Swans look scary good.

[Dry Rot]

Dalrymple has been picking some great kids.

Swans are also really good at developing their youngsters.

[bornadog]

Be a shame if a few swans players were to catch covid from that crowd.
Big chance I reckon

[G-Mo77]

Call me a stick in the mud but the whole running on the ground, in this day and age is just bush league stuff. Feel for the Geelong players having to find their way out of thousands and thousands of idiots wanting to invade the ground so they could show their mates they are there on Instagram.

[bornadog]

i really thought that was so dangerous

They didn't have time, imagine if he missed the kick he'd have still been swamped.

[Happy Days]

That ruled.

[soupman]

Amazing. Imagine if Naughton ever got there. Thered be about 5 false starts.

[Grantysghost]

i really thought that was so dangerous

There was certainly 0 control which is not something anyone wants.
Pandemic also a little crazy. But, they got some video.

They just needed to get a ring of security around him with the players initially and then the security or police but it was too quick!

[Grantysghost]

That ruled.

Haha. It was not something you see everyday that's for sure.
Very unique to AFL.

[jeemak]

I loved it, but at the same time it was dicey AF and poorly thought through from a security perspective.

[DOG GOD]

Chris Scott looked livid and I don’t blame him. Really it was quite farcical how it could go on for 30 mins ?
How buddy got out of that is beyond me.
Before buddy lined up, there should’ve been 6 of the biggest security guards at the ground within 5 metres of him, so that they could form a barrier around him before all the sheep stormed the ground.

What happens if he kicks into the man on the mark?

[Grantysghost]

What happens if he kicks into the man on the mark?

50....

[Dry Rot]

The data behind Lance 'Buddy' Franklin's 1,000 AFL goals for Sydney and Hawthorn

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-26/is-lance-franklin-the-greatest-of-all-time-afl-vfl/100919332

Worth a read, especially how things have changed in different eras.

[chef]

50....

Play on?

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Clearly it was planned that the crowd be allowed on without being controlled.
I did not see a single player push or be pushed aggressively.
Buddy rode every pat on the head and had no fear or aggression in his eyes at anytime.

[Grantysghost]

Play on?

Such a party pooper Chef. Surely you have red and white macaroons today! xD

Orchestrated 50 metres if smothered it's the only way.

Zac Touhey had a fair clash with a fan all innocent but apparently a fair whack.
He lost his keys and phone and Zac followed him to give them back!
He thought he was going to deck him.

[Grantysghost]

Ben Hudson and Adcock in one room, Gia in the other for Dons Lions.

interesting game. 2mp doing well.

[DOG GOD]

Possible…but highly unlikely.

Lachie Neale basically turned the game from the second quarter onwards

He’s a superstar isn’t he.

I really like Perkins for Dons he’s got plenty of time.

[GVGjr]

Hawks are testing Port, GC are going OK against Melbourne.

[DOG GOD]

Port, dogs and Ess starting year 0-2

[Dry Rot]

Hawks are testing Port, GC are going OK against Melbourne.

Are the 2022 Hawks good, or is Port playing poorly?

[GVGjr]

Are the 2022 Hawks good, or is Port playing poorly?

Looks to be a bit of both.

[Grantysghost]

Are the 2022 Hawks good, or is Port playing poorly?

Latter. Hawks are not good.

We broke ports spirit.

[Grantysghost]

Port, dogs and Ess starting year 0-2

Dons aren't a top 8 side totally over achieved last season.

[GVGjr]

It's Melbourne's accuracy in front of goal that is keeping them ahead of GC. 10.2 to 8.6

[The Underdog]

Suns are a way below the Dees, but absolutely matching them for effort and physicality.

[whythelongface]

Port have a few out but gee they look ordinary. Hinkley may be the first coach to exit this season if they don’t improve quick smart

[azabob]

Latter. Hawks are not good.

We broke ports spirit.

And Melbourne broke ours?

[Grantysghost]

And Melbourne broke ours?
Yes it was a nasty couple of weeks !

[jazzadogs]

We have been the only team all weekend to consistently stand back off the mark, and I still struggle to see how it improves our defensive press. By standing further back we are making it easier for the opposition to move the ball quickly!! It's going to drive me nuts this year.

How long did it take Bevo to give up on Wood as a forward? Let’s hope he gives in on this one asap.

[DOG GOD]

Maybe we did to?

[MrMahatma]

Maybe we did to?

Maybe. Time will tell. Maybe we underachieved and COVID travel protocols cost us a flag.

[Mantis]

Maybe we did to?

I call BS on that. We were every bit a top 2 team all season bar a slip up during the last 3 rounds and then had an extremely good finals campaign bar the nightmare of the last 45min of the GF.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Is Charlie the best Spargo?
Childhood methinks Bob better.
B4L Merantau Twodogs?

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Fritz kicked a fritter.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Perkins perked it.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Wright righted it.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Wright wrought it.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Langdon lauded.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Fritz fritzer.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Stringer strung.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Weidemen weeded it.

[Grantysghost]

That was like a cat toying with its meal.

Melbourne didn’t get out of 1st gear.

Why don’t teams put more time into Brayshaw? He controls the game behind the footy.

Great praise and respect Grantysghost.
Brayshaw is very big unit. An airport controller.

Loving the alliterations !

Dawdling Demons Deny Delusional Dons.

Haha so you love language too.
Petracca was petrified.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Delousinal Dons indeed.

[whythelongface]

Crows win with after siren kick. Anyone tip them?

Nope. But love seeing Port 0-3 and even sweeter that the Bombers are 0-3. This is like waking up on an island made of ice cream.

[angelopetraglia]

So two finalists now start 0-3. Port play Melbourne next week. It is a long way back from 0-4.

[SquirrelGrip]

Yep.

[Bulldog4life]

B4L Merantau Twodogs?

Personally I think Bob was much better BID but unfortunately didn't stay at the club long enough. Charlie's dad was a good player for North too.

[comrade]

We all know this is the wrong thread, yeah? :D

[EasternWest]

No such thing on WOOF.

We are Legion.

[GVGjr]

GWS assigned Lachie Ashto curb Touk Miller today and he did a very good job at it.
It might buck the trend of teams backing their own mids against the oppositions team but I wish we would consider it from time to time.

[bornadog]

we have been posting in the wrong thread
