AFL Round 7, 2018

[Twodogs]

There is nothing more gratifying than a downhill skier shirking a contest.

Libba in his face in the 2016 prelim final gratified me.

I'd still love to know what Clay Smith said to him to drive him overboard like that.

Whatever it was it was the truth.

When are the footy experts going to call out Heath Shaw for how bad he has been in 2017 and 2018.
He had 10 clangers tonight - in the worst part of the ground to have them. He even had 6 last week v Brisbane with far less pressure and 8 v Freo 2 weeks before that.

Hawkins in trouble for pushing an umpires hand away. How many weeks?

Surely straight to the tribunal.

[macca]

Surely straight to the tribunal.

He will get off with some new rule they made up during the week.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the plastics get smashed tonight, even though it was a rubbish game to watch.

AFL doing all it can to manufacture crap for Friday night football.

GWS were worse tonight than our efforts against them, WC, and Freo. This is one of the premiership favourites that are down a few key players at the moment (but arguably still in a better position personnel wise than we are). We need to remember this when our team of kids inevitably struggle some weeks or at times during games.

There is absolutely a tipping point and GWS have obviously hit theirs. I think we have been well over ours but have displayed more resilience than our lofty expectations has given our team credit. It really makes me reflect back to how impressive the Essendon and Swans (in particular) games were.

Hawkins will get off with a reprimand with him being told that even though he was protecting the umpire from causing a slight breeze with his hand he may still have knock Phil Davis over and may have caused him serious injury.
He'll just be told to be a bit more careful.
Tom will then be praised by the media for being a stand up guy for taking the risk to protect a fellow player.

when does Leon come under scrutiny? Can he actually coach?

Time to raid them, through JMac trading. Their guns can see they won't win a flag now. We need Sam Power sitting down ASAP with JMac to flag interest in a range of players. Who would we target though? (kicking skills elite mandatory)

J. Kelly. I wonder if you'd get a discount on Toby Greene given he's such a little shit? I wouldn't mind him being our little shit and we do seem to play better when we have someone like him in our team.

[bulldogtragic]

J. Kelly.

& Coniglio. Imagine two midfielders capable of hitting forwards on the chest. Wow.

Not to mention his big squib vs Dangerfield.

This bloke scream at others but won't do the hard yards himself. For all the focus on Goddard yelling at teammates, Goddard won a B&F, led Essendon during a tough year and puts his body on the line.
Shaw doesn't do that.

[comrade]

I wish we weren’t ultra young and building. The 2018 premiership is literally a crap shoot.
