Re: AFL Round 17 2016 Discussion

It was inevitable that they would conjure one more chance to win. Sydney knew it, yet couldn't do a thing about it.

The kick from Cyril was amazing. Buddy had a similar shot a minute or so earlier and missed everything.

Yep - I look back to the dropped mark and then push of the ball from (I think) Hannebery towards an unguarded Burgoyne to goal to bring them back to 1 point down. Just can't do that with players of that caliber around the contest.

Whatever happened to his brother? The two of them at Port were incredible players.

He's five years older than Shaun, retired in 2009.

Very good player as well. Not quite as good as Shaun.

McVeigh was a worry in the last quarter, just banging the ball on his foot to a contest. He did the same in our game.

He needs to steady the ship and find someone to work the ball down the ground.

Swans had their chances but blew it.

Dean Towers looks a likely prospect, but boy it's heart attack stuff when he has it.
Once again (sadly) hawthorn look the team to beat.
Sydney fluffed their lines missing chances as well.

I wonder if he's as dinky dye a bloke as Hodgy is though, you know, great to just have a beer and chew the fat with?

Seriously, the comparison is a good one and I think he's every bit as influential as you do.

I feel like Burgoyne is part of an 'untapped' sort of player (in terms of big recognition) who make a big contribution towards winning games, but are maybe a bit unfashionable or underrated to be concentrated on.

If we create an era of great footy - I feel like Dahlhaus might be a bit like this. Before we had Bonti and Stringer - Dahlhaus was the media/public darling with the dreadlocks and being a small forward. But these days he's a 2nd or 3rd banana in the midfield, no dreads, he is quite often the forgotten man. I think Dahlhaus has a huge say in us winning football games - maybe not the class of Burgoyne - but just as the bulldogs example, he might be the example.

Or Jack Macrae, who needs to hit the scoreboard more. I suppose that's where Dahl has Jack covered.

Burgoyne has gone at almost a goal a game for his career. That's what the premium midfielders do.

Like Libba has been this year.

C'mon Freo go you good things

Re: AFL Round 17 2016 Discussion

When will we get a player like Dangerfield where rules don't apply to him, like out of bounds?

That was two foot out further than Picken's against Geelong. Hard not to think there's umpire manipulation when the umpire was two metres away with no vision impediment...

Re: AFL Round 17 2016 Discussion

We have all heard this in the crowd but kick it long Freo. Geelong have scored from Freo's mistakes kicking across the ground. You are not skilled enough to do it. Kick it LONG like Pav did in the 2nd quarter which resulted in a goal

Re: AFL Round 17 2016 Discussion

It looked well and truly OOB.

From the reverse angle it looked as if the umpire was player watching and not line watching, but perhaps that's a little harsh.

Man I'd love Stephen Hill.

Re: AFL Round 17 2016 Discussion

That overrule on the deliberate paid is outrageous. They umpire to whatever Dangerfield says, he paid it and nothing happened other than him remonstrating. There's rub of the green, and then boarder line cheating.

It's borderline match fixing is what it is!
