    Re: AFL Game Day R14 2023

    Well we lost to Geelong too. And the suns before that. I get we're not that bad but i think some people have top 4 expectations given the public position from the club. We're pretty clearly a 7-12 team with an undetermined future. It's right where I thought we'd be. My frustration is that I have no idea what our direction is and we dont seem to be able to adjust and keep up. Feels like we're treading water.

    So you're saying a first week finals exit at the hands of the Bombers?

    Oh God I'd rather finish 9th.

    I don't think we'll play finals. The current 8 stays except geelong replace us. I also think freo will jump ahead of us. We'll fight out the next 3 positions with Richmond and gold Coast.

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    It could be ironic that they win their first final in x tens thousands of days when they beat us.

    Finish 9th is a curse .. see Carlton now, and Richmond's history before Hardwick.

    Not good enough to play finals, and low draft picks to get the high end talent.

    Freo had a short spurt of form. They're hard to predict.

    The Giants and presumably, the Tiges getting up just means more teams breathing down our 8th placed neck.

    We really need to bank some percentage versus North if at all possible.

    Re: AFL Game Day R14 2023

    So I am up on the Gold Coast on holiday . Decided to go to the Brisbane v Sydney game .
    One adult $64 to get in . No wonder they get small crowds ! After A few swear words under my breath I left and went back to GC .
    They also have no games on the radio .
    Luckily I have Foxtel go on my phone .
    Bring back the biff
