What on earth has happened to Essendon
Ten years of recruiting average players
Derby should make a great elimination final.
I'm glad I've had the alcohol I've had tonight. Numbs the pain. Not the first time we've had a big win and then lost the next round. (pies bombers, giants saints, dees port, now bombers suns). This takes the cake. Saints play a bunch of kids and beat an expansion team by 20 goals. We had a finals berth on the line, and put in that performance. Wonder what happens now. To Ratts, I mean. Freo are a sure thing now. Derby should make a great elimination final.
He probably is, but it can't be all his fault. 20+ more inside 50s. 10+ more scoring shots. You're right that we have this year. Injuries account for some of that, but there's no way last year's lot would have lost to the likes of the Suns or Port. Still didn't pose a threat to the top teams this year (besides the Pies), either.Surely Ratts is gone. The Blues have gone backwards this year. Malthouse to slot in nicely and actually get something out of the players.

Thanks Vince, it did a little bit. Even then, unless the group had a crystal ball, we still had a sniff last night and played like that. I've been able to hide under the excuse of injuries for most of the season, but there won't be anything to deflect from that dismal performance when I come into work tomorrow.. Bar Robinson (and maybe Watson), we fielded the best team we could have and lost to a Gold Coast reserves team.If it makes it any easier , Fremantle winning makes Carltons game irrelevant. Even if you had won it would be season over
So what the hell happened to North?! I recorded the match, hoping to watch it after the others I recorded (Hawthorn vs. Sydney, West Coast vs. Collingwood).
I also slightly got my hopes up with Port, silly of me. Was following the match on the AFL app at a family lunch, horrible last quarter x_x
KEVIN Sheedy will coach Greater Western Sydney in 2013, after the club announced a one-year contract extension for the 64-year-old.
The Giants made the announcement on Tuesday, meaning Sheedy will move into his 29th season as a senior coach.
"I'm thrilled to have been asked by the Giants to continue as head coach next year and I'm really looking forward to continuing to develop this talented young playing group and help set this club up for long term success," Sheedy said.
"I've really enjoyed the challenge of working with such a dedicated and committed group of people on and off the field and can't wait for 2013 and what should be another exciting year for the club."
Sheedy's original three-year contract ended at the end of this season but the Giants have exceeded expectations in their first year, and Sheedy's coaching and marketing appeal off the field have been key to that.
Fucking Collingwood. You never should have made Buckley coach. Or got rid of Mick. Fucking idiots.
Why?
Because it was stupid? Malthouse is one of the best coaches around, and you sack him to hold on to a popular ex player? Well, sack might be a strong word, but how in the hell do you not agree to a new contract that sees him as head coach?
Why the outburst though?
Because they got killed this weekend and played like shit.
They certainly did. Though I don't think Malthouse could have stopped that from happening, especially without Jolly.
Maybe not, but I am still salty about the whole thing.
Edit: Well done Port. Didn't get the win but they stuck with it all day, great to see.
I think I won the GAF tipping comp on tipping.afl. \O/
Was a 3-way tie at the start of the round which made it interesting. Ended up picking all 9 putting me 1 up over the others. Was also within 1 of the Saints v Carlton margin which I was stoked about.
Almost the end of another footy year sadly.
Thanks to everyone who entered the tipping comp, I had fun.
You won by a single tip, wow. Well done mate!
I was 11 off the pace. Someone in another comp I was in on footytips.com.au got 152 =S
I reckon we should all chip in and get Andiie a Steam game or something
EDIT: The top tipping.afl.com.au winner got 160 tips
Finally a goal. This is great tough footy. Not too happy about the deliberate interpretation =/
EDIT: How was that not holding the ball on Roughead?!?!
These umpires are fucking useless, and Collingwood fans.....they expect holding the ball when a Hawks player has had the ball for 0.01 seconds, I mean come the fuck on.
