@antipodean I've been advised that its a good time of the year to lose a game..not showing all your cards etc etc.

Caught most of the 2nd qtr. Geelong jumped out to big lead. Surprised it ended up that close.
Sydney smacked Freo though. Fizzled a bit after being 50-8 at QT. And 90 odd to 9 at HT.

Gee Eddie Betts is kinda handy
-
Half time good guys up by 32 after conceding a lead....

I cant agree , to keep winning , secure a top 4 spot , possible top 2 spot would be ideal,
dont want to get your hopes up too much, but the reality is , the tiges have had a great season , exceeded everyones expectations, but are probably a bit short of the top sides talent wise ,

We're not suited to playing on a small ground...
Cat park is a narrow ground , and they , like the swans with their short ground , play it better than anybody , hence their home record, no doubt the wide open spaces of the G would suit us more with our pace , but thats footy
is AFL the only football code in the world , where the dimensions of the playing fields vary ? bit like Cricket I guess

Just discovered today the "AFL International Cup" is on, and NZ is in the Grand Final.
Anybody been following it? Even aware of it?it gets a bit of a mention on sports radio in melb ,
From what i can gather ( correct me if im wrong ) nz have been the most successful team in these tournaments

Yeah, to my understanding NZ & Papua New Guinea are the 2 top-tier sides.

This has nothing to do with anything,
But what we are talking about kinda reminded me ,
I once had a conversation with the late great Jim Stynes ( Irish Gaelic footballer converted afl great ruckman )
When he found out I was a kiwi that followed rugby he was pretty interested, played a bit of lock growing up in Ireland. Told me as a junior he toured nz in a Gaelic football team and played against a nz junior Gaelic football team that had zin Zan Brooke in it .
His knowledge of the abs was really good , really surprised me . -

Stupid dumb game
-
Tiny little bit less stupid. And ever so slightly less dumb ....
2 point ball game ...
-
Ok. Good game this AFL
48 43 Crows.
3 mins into 2nd half
-
Franklin is kinda ok though.
Bastard
-
Still a stupid dumb game

I've got this fucking flu so fell asleep with swannies winning handily. Heck of a game eh? Must have been wetter than it looked judging by the number of fumbles
Was a good game Nick. Enjoyed it ... but not the result
Everything, fucking EVERYTHING, fell for the Swans in the first qtr. Crows couldn't catch a fucking cold.
Thought at 4 goals down we're screwed. Got out to 5 ...
To come back and lead was awesome.
But jeez we missed some chances to put you bastards away. Hit the post at least twice. Tex missed a sitter. 2 or 3 other chances just missed
But no use whinging ...
Great goal by Buddy
