Re: 2018 Final Series

Best thing for the AFL would be for GWS to lose this game. They're the only team that could wreck see out games.

Unfortunately, they've been very good so far.

Re: 2018 Final Series

F*CK I HATE GREENE.

The irrational venom almost catches me by surprise every time I watch him pull his routine.

He's going to get pulled up on his studs-first trick some day ... but it won't be before he seriously maims some poor bastard in the process.

Umps do nothing about it and then give a free kick for deliberate when a kick skews off the boot and goes OOB - get your bloody priorities right

God this is a boring game.

Re: 2018 Final Series

If Greene didn't get weeks for kicking Dahl in the face last year when it wasn't a marking contest, why should he change his ways? The AFL are seemingly ok with it.

He's an annoying prick but I'd love him at the kennel. Seriously good player and impacts in big games.

Re: 2018 Final Series

There's a fair bit of Geelong about Sydney. They keep topping to stay in it but don't look to be anything but making up the numbers.

Re: 2018 Final Series

Like Geel last night a very mediocre performance and their top players having no impact.

Yep. Last night was also an abomination and Thursday night wasn't much better. Ordinary finals series so far to put it mildly.

Was thinking the same thing. Their midfield especially is very blue collar and devoid of any offensive weaponry - Hanneberry was their outside silk but he's cooked.

Re: 2018 Final Series

Sydney actually set the standard to be competitive and not quite win anything when the made the big plays for Tippett and then Buddy.
This forced out a lot of mid range players leaving them short on depth.

The staying in finals thing is so successful that Geelong have followed suit and Hawthorn also did the same thing at the end of 2016.

This is the reason that Richmond are looking like premiers, but they appear also ready to follow the Sydney path with the alleged recruitment of Tom Lynch.

Someone like Ling's "annoying". Greene's utterly rage inducing. I'd just as soon recruit Hitler.

As I write this he's just pulled his trick again.

Frankly I'd love to see his face caved in when he rakes the wrong bloke across the face with his foot.

Re: 2018 Final Series

Toby Greene with another kick at an opponent as he takes a mark. This time at Zac Jones, who was actually behind him.

The action of putting a boot up in the direction of an opponent needs to be written out of the game.

The consecutive finals record is now the result.

Then that anodyne dipshit Ling "doesn't like the look of it" but promptly regurgitates the "a player marking the ball has to be able to protect himself" crap.

There's a reason protective equipment worn is heavily vetted in the interests of player safety. It's same reason maggots like Greene shouldn't be blatantly aiming studded boots at the bodies of opponents.

I understand how polarising he is but on talent he is an absolute star.

I also hate the studs up tactic but when you don't get any weeks for a deliberate kick to the head of an opponent in a non-marking contest, the action is clearly getting the tick of approval.

Re: 2018 Final Series

The AFL need to outlaw this,kicking immediately. Greene should get 3 weeks and miss the GF otherwise everyone is going to start doing this.
