So on board with this, and for their VFL side to finish last.

Essendon losing another final. I’m good with that.

I can see why both were paid, but sure soft. But at the same why was Lynch pulling Taylor with the ball not given the all clear and throwing elbows into backs invites attention. That’s what I would focus my commentary on. Why are these players doing unnecessary and dumb things.

Re: AFL Game Day R22 2021
Gee Tigers really have shut up shop for a long while haven't they?
Look like a side who just want a rest after so much success.
Will be interesting to see how they turn up next year.

I wish they'd talk a bit more about the Rioli legacy, reckon they've missed an opportunity.
As for Richmond, when you've got your coach bleating about where you play and other stuff you're not going to be able to hang on mentally unless absolutely everything goes your way personnel wise etc.
Still spewing they played out of their skins against us for a half a game. Why couldn't we get this Richmond?

I think Leon Cameron gets boned a bit too much as a coach, he's clearly pretty good at what he does and gets his team up a lot of the time.

Re: AFL Game Day R22 2021
I've said it once and I'll say it again (and again), James Brayshaw has a really weird love of big men. He is a complete sycophant for them. The way he just gushed over Mumford (you know, the games biggest arsehole) was unsettling.
It was followed up by Leppitsch doing the same and Daisy was truly unnerved. She could barely get a word out of it afterwards.

These sooks hate playing at Ethihad. Boo Hoo.
I remember Ross Lyon ( much as I dislike his persona sometimes ) stating that Freo would turn up and compete hard anywhere in the country, travel as no excuse. I admired him when he said that.
Hardwick's swipe at Etihad and petulance generally is annoying as hell.
If GWS go all the way to finals this year I think I will skip it.

He coached the team that ruined the circle jerk at Pork Barrel Park in 2013, and almost took Freo all the way. For an apparently dour coach that year in the finals he scored 87pts. at PBP, 99 at Subi and it tightened up in the GF with Freo only scoring 62 to the Hawks 77.
Lyon should still be coaching, he's too good not to be no matter what you think about his strategy and tactics.

GWS were impressive last night. I'm not sure the can go on with it but no team would want to catch-up them on a good night.

G, I've gotten to a point where I don't want to play anyone.
Now that Clarko has stopped tanking to prove a point I'm worried about today. I was worried about last week and I'm definitely worried about next week.
As I've said above Cameron's a good coach and he's lost personnel, whilst running a reasonable injury list. If they hold seventh they could make it to week three of the finals and if they do I don't think there's any team in the competition above them that would be confident of banking the win.

Agree. They seem to be playing a more free flowing game style. They have stars , and if all those stars align, then they could do some damage. The cats game showed they can’t be taken lightly. They’ve also been on the road for awhile…that’s obviously not affecting them.
I will never see #16 the same!!
