Alex Keath is on a hiding to nothing here. Buddy is going to eat him alive.

Why wouldn't you put Talia on Buddy ?

Re: AFL Round 22, 2017 Discussion

I don't think it'll matter who you put on Buddy. That sprinting goal from the wing was a thing of raw beauty.

It's hot in the kitchen at Adelaide tonight. Wonder how we'd go.

He is an incredible footballer

He's a freak

If the Swans make top 4 then I'm not too fussed. But we have to make the 8 first before there are any implications for us. Come on Dogs. Let's play manic football!

To be fair. Should have been pinged for running too far after his re-gather.

Still a *!*!*!*!ing freak though.

Yeah Pyke will be whingeing that 28 to 14 free kicks wasn't enough to get them over the line.

He started running with an opponent on his tail from the HBF almost. Not many players start running after the ball out of defence and the opposition think "oh no"

Indeed. He was up playing his part in a defensive zone and as soon as they created an outlet he just went, right, I'll make something happen here.

Talia knew the chase was futile and looked like he was going to cark it trying to keep up.

I'm still trying to find the rule that there has to be equilibrium in the free kick count .
Fans and footy clubs complain way to much .
Thought the crows lost nothing . Started poorly ( poor matchup on buddy) won the footy, but just didn't convert chances .
Gotta hand it to Sydney, from 0 6 to a top 4 chance is incredible. Crows turned over in their forward half in the last to often.
Got nothing out of Walker as well

Re: AFL Round 22, 2017 Discussion

Just another example of how generally umpiring decisions across the course of a game make minimal difference to its outcome but one howler at a crucial time can.

Re: AFL Round 22, 2017 Discussion

Great game to watch and the intensity level displayed by both sides was what you would expect in a final. They are going to be hard teams to beat
