Fremantle vs Collingwood @ Optus

Saturday 25/5
North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide @ Blundstone
Carlton vs Gold Coast @ Marvel
Geelong vs GWS @ GMHBA
Richmond vs Essendon @ MCG

Sunday 26/5
Hawthorn vs Brisbane @ Marvel
Melbourne vs St Kilda @ MCG

[GVGjr]

Some good games again for this round. I wonder if Gold Coast can really test Carlton

[Bulldog Joe]

Carlton underwhelming of late so a good chance for GC although the last 2 times that teams have stayed over for 2 games (Gather round Melbourne and Freo) they have been vastly underperformed next game. That tells heavily against GC.

Think Freo get over Collingwood.

[Sedat]

Fark me the AFEL loves the fifth. That free kick reversal 100m off the ball was even worse than the VDM 50.

[Testekill]

That Cox injury is pretty scary. The knee crumbled but he was also out before he even hit the ground.

[Happy Days]

I just saw the absolute worst free kick I’ve ever seen paid in my life against Lachie Sullivan.

[Happy Days]

And now it cost them the game. These star ****er umpires need to get out of the game.

Okay I just heard Pearce say “Cam would’ve kicked it” and now I’m crying on the couch.

I hate the filth but that free was pure horseshit. Sucked in though

If we got hosed like that I’m sending our some mail bombs.

[Sedat]

Low key, I reckon the Bailey Banfield goal that kick-started Freo's comeback was touched off the boot by Quaynor as well

[NoseBleed]

Same free got paid against us this year. Can’t remember which game, but Libba thought it was a free to English and threw it to him. Ump (who wanted it back for a throw up) blew his whistle and gave it to the oppo ruckman.

[angelopetraglia]

Time on has been called. It isn?t time wasting. Innocuous mistake without any impact on the game. Surely that is not a worthy of a free kick and automatic goal. The game is getting overly officious.

Terrible look.

[angelopetraglia]

It looks like the Pies have lost Mason Cox and Brody Mihocek for next week.

[MrMahatma]

And now it cost them the game. These star ****er umpires need to get out of the game.

This.

Why are there people running around out there like this is an opportunity to say “I was right”.
I’m guessing, but I reckon the concept of umpiring is to stop one team in any given moment getting an unfair advantage. I also genuinely think the rules exist to achieve this.

That bald ump who paid that free is on the take. End of. Fire that dude.

[Flamethrower]

The umpiring at AFL level has got so bad this year one has to start to question whether something more sinister is at play - especially considering how rife sports gambling is.

We already have one umpire leaking Brownlow votes. It isn't much of a stretch to think others are involved in spot fixing after getting into financial trouble with bookies.

Or maybe I have been watching too many conspiracy videos about an alien race running the world and leading humanity towards extinction.

[josie]

Well Flamethrower, they are the little men in green.

[soupman]

Quaynors admitted that he was lieing when he said he touched that.

Curious if he gets done for simulation now.

I don't think so. These idiots are just on power trips, trying to show they're boss and will punish and try and embarrass players, you just have to listen to the way they talk down to them. Turn their mics off and just pay them to officiate, not try to make them part of the show. They keep this up and you may as well dress them in clown outfits because this is becoming a ****ing circus.

[angelopetraglia]

Death, taxes and

Haha. Of course they did.

Everyone seems to have forgot, or not even noticed, that this happened.

If anyone wants to know Sedat's age refer to this post.

[Happy Days]

Let’s sell the farm for Mac Andrew.

[Scorlibo]

I would be throwing $1m+ and the kitchen sink at Mac Andrew to come back to Victoria. He's a game changer already, and is exactly what we need down back.

Good to see we're on the same wavelength.

[bulldogtragic]

So English’s salary and his compo pick in the top 10 (and some)…

Or Bailey Smith's? Would prefer to keep English, but if it came to that, I'd be taking Andrew.

[angelopetraglia]

Gold Coast suns. Mentally weak. Untrustworthy. What an embarassment they are. Blues have abolsutely destroyed them in the middle today.

You say this like it is a surprise.

[DOG GOD]

I hope it continues under Hardwick

[angelopetraglia]

I always think, this time it is different. They sucked me in, again.

[azabob]

Yep, totally agree.

[EasternWest]

Wait are we still talking about the Suns? Because that statement equally applies to the Bulldogs.

[Happy Days]

Cmon now. Even leaving to the side that we beat their arse not even 6 weeks ago we are made of much stronger stuff than them. We’ve actually won a big game this decade (or ever).

[azabob]

Let?s sell the farm for Mac Andrew.

Save $500k and go for Aleer. Stuck behind Buckley, Taylor, Idun and Himmleberg.

Was actually meaning to come back and post this. He’s enormous too, not sure when that happened.

That mark in the last minute was sensational. Barryesque even.

How good is it seeing the Cats lose 4 straight??

[ledge]

Would love to see the bombers lose . Seriously 1 goal up at half time against rabble.

[westdog54]

When contrasted with Thursday night, the umpires were VERY hesitant to pay a 50 at the G tonight.

[jazzadogs]

This.

He is astoundingly one of the most experienced umpires - think he's done more than 400 games.

There is a clip from a couple of minutes earlier when Steele Sidebottom leaves the ball on the ground and he has the look of an angry entitled boy whose nanny put the cereal in after the milk. That decision was petty retribution.

[GVGjr]

A real mixed bag of games again so far.il
I'd it a sign of a close competition outside of North and West Coast?

Won more games (3) than Richmond (1) who are closer to North (0).

And tigers. Dons just are the worst second side in history.

Hawks a chance over Lions i think.

[bulldogtragic]

It’s bizarre. They’re second on the ladder, and have a percentage 13th out of 18 clubs.

We conversely are 11th, and the second highest percentage in the comp.

[jDogs]

Feels like Hawks turned a corner in their game against us, they've been playing some more than decent footy.

Great core of mid kids.

Day, there's a lot of hype around Reid but this guy would be one of the first i'd target from another club. Bont clone.

[The Underdog]

I feel like that loss is looking less bad every week.

[mighty_west]

Hawks really are spanking the Lions, great to see, cannot stand Brissy.

don't you live up there:D

Lions doing the spanking now

[angelopetraglia]

Lions doing the spanking now

Hawks now doing the spanking, again. Let's see if they can hang on this week.

[angelopetraglia]

Lions are now 4 wins from 11 games.

[angelopetraglia]

Lions next game is against us. They have the bye this week.

[mighty_west]

don't you live up there:D

EXACTLY why i can't stand them ;)

If i wasn't a Doggies man i'd go for the Suns up here, i dunno, maybe i'm just a sucker for the under dog, Brissy supporters even admit once they drop off so do they, they only care when they're winning and it shows, i really cannot stand that shit.

I even have an older lady i work with being a Brissy supp, walk into work after a finals loss and say "oooh did your team lose" whilst patting me on the head, well you know, if she was dude, i'd probably at centrelink the following day with a record.

[mighty_west]

Lions doing the spanking now

As soon as i bloody posted it Brissy kicked 3 quick ones haha!!!!

[mighty_west]

I guess we're not the only team that has struggled against the Hawks in recent times even though they've been near the bottom, Hawks have beaten the Lions on the last 5 occasions, they'll be a good hard team in a few years.

[Sedat]

Clearly they weren't given enough additional funding from the recent state and federal govts to help them win at their own pissant toy ground with no wings. Quick, give them another $100m so they can address this terrible imbalance.

They've got the Tigers there this week so there's a nice kick start.
