Lions have the Bulldogs at Marvel tonight
You would be pencilling in the 4 points for the Lions if you look at how the Dogs are travelling. But this has ambush written all over it. The media have found their guy very early, and thus the drums are beating for Bevos head. If he still has the dressing room i expect a massive backlash.
and there you go
If i was the Bulldogs i wouldn't be changing my thinking around where we are based on that. In a dogshit game that had the skill level of Cairns AFL reserves, they kicked 67 points.
And the Lions were awful. Daniher is a fucking spud. Hipwood is a spud. Charlie Cameron played terribly. Our forward line lost that game. Couldn't kick goals (even from simple set shots you absolute spuds) and applied zero pressure. Meaning the ball went inside 50 a lot, and came zipping straight back out.
Seriously the Lions are shit and quite frankly are not a contender. That forward line worries fucking no one. Fagan continues to prove he has no idea how to take the club forward. Write us off, we're fucking cooked.
so, slightly interesting discovery. a few months ago out TV antenna went dud, maybe hit by lightning or wind pulled out a connection....either way, we havent got around to getting it fixed basically because we watch almost everything streamed and even if we want to watch something "live" we can normally stream that.....except i have discovered the AFL, even the free to air games, they have the pre and post match shows....but in between its 3 hours of border force

streaming partner is Kayo that's why
@mariner4life yeah, i assumed it was something like that, just thought the free to air games would be different
That, skill-wise, was a very ordinary round of football. I didn't watch a lot, but what i saw was very average. Extended highlights packages aren't pretty. Look at the scores, only three teams over a hundred, two teams won with scores in teh 60s
If you are doing a tipping comp, it's probably being won by someone who knows nothing about football.
There was obviously thursday's abortion
Collingwood winning was probably a given
Hawthorn tip over North
The Saints beat the Bombers
The Crows beat the Power
Fucking Gold Coast beat Geelong, who only kick 54 points
Melbourne flog Sydney
Anyone who picked the majority of those did so with darts
Seriously, look at the fucking ladder. St Kilda are first, and Geelong are last. Is it fucking opposite day?
damn, 2 from 9....i did not get many right at all!...topped off with seeing the swans get a hiding, so annoyed we managed to get back within 6 but didn;t kick on

I did ok considering my knowledge of the sport is somewhat limited with a five from nine record thanks to Collingwood, Carlton, Saints, Demons and Freo all getting home. I must be one of those described above!
so i guess, just for a change, Ken Hinkley is the guy. The drums, the drums they are a beating.
Large numbers of Port fans have wanted him gone for ages, but he always seems to win enough games to keep his job, without ever looking like a real premiership team.
If at least one Lions forward isn't playing for the twos this week i will be banging the "Fagan out!!" drum hard (not for the first time)
@mariner4life not too worried about Fagan’s future, but if he doesn’t do anything else in his footy career, just get the boys up for tonight. Would love to see the Lions get the win over the Pies.
I do like how the Pies are playing, they have some great players and their coach is damn good - but their supporters are still the same…
Let’s go Lions.
Smashed them. Cam rayner the spark, Charlie Cameron the scoring danger
Shut down the Collingwood run too.
Good win.

god damn im sick of supporting teams that loose!
did you celebrate and then collapse in despair? Fine friggen margin to lose a game.
@mariner4life we were away for the weekend so didn't watch, was looking forward to seeing the score and then watching the highlights
i think the comp kinda sorted itself out on the weekend
Brisbane and Collingwood will both play finals
Carlton should too, and put North in their place
What the fuck Freo?
Not sure either the Tigers or Dogs will play in September.
St Kilda will, and once again, the GC won't
I don't know what either Sydney or Port are
Essendon look okay actually.
Melbourne, despite a loss at the 'gabba, look to be the best side.
Welcome back from your nap Geelong.
I fucking hate Jeremy Cameron, but he's the best player in the comp.
