Round 5 2016 Discussion

Re: Round 5 2016 Discussion

Freo with no wins after 5 games is something I would have laughed at if anyone had suggested it to me at the start of the season.

Can anyone put their finger on the reasons why this has occurred? I read a couple of things that suggested they might slide and I think Brad Johnson predicted this as well but I doubt anyone saw this coming.

If it was almost anyone else other than Ross Lyon the coach would be under enormous media speculation about his future.

New rule changes have killed Freo's stoppage-heavy game plan. Fast ball movement has not been in Ross Lyon's vocabulary.

Is this the best bottom 6 on the ladder ever?

St Kilda, Richmond, Collingwood, Carlton, Brisbane, Essendon, Fremantle.

Re: Round 5 2016 Discussion

I'd prefer Geelong and Hawthorn to be in there as well. Eight can go into six, right?

This is going to be a disaster if this game continues like it is.
Actually the AFL deserve this, two cheating and bottom clubs getting rewarded on a big day.
Go figure.

Re: Round 5 2016 Discussion

In fear of being disrespectful to Kevin Sheedy (and obviously in risk of upsetting the great Brendan Goddard), what the fudge is the EFC doing playing in this game?

Essendon has a rap sheet, but remind me how Collingwood are cheats again? Was it the Buckley trade?

Watch Ross Lyon's presser. Describes Freo's current predicament as our 'anus horribilis'. That would be 'Annus' Ross. But it's quite an appropriate slip if you mean 'sh*t'

By the way, when did he become a deity?

Out of self entitlement with a complicit AFL.

Apparently you can't say anything that might be disrespectful to him - like drug cheats shouldn't play the biggest home and away match of the season.

You can trash his 'legacy' by cheating the competition through drug cheating, however.

Two players were done for drugs also apparently double the amount on drugs as what was reported by Robbo.

Don't worry all, Bruce managed to mention Cyril Rioli during today's commentary.

And thought it was amusing. I wish he'd retire, or be sacked. He just makes watching games so much worse.

Carey isn't next to him today obviously.

Re: Round 5 2016 Discussion

Don't think too many Collingwood fans will be getting carried away with this win.

Crowd will have dropped a bit by half time.
Great thing about this is Buckley keeps his job.
