Not sure why we were trying to play the link handball stuff on a slippery day?
Cute kicks didn't go well either.
Slamming handballs at blokes a metre away?
I found myself screaming at the tv....just fuggin kick it.
Cloke wasn't great either!

Pretty piss poor really!
We went up to A1 last season with a pretty young team.
There was no way we would entertain not going up.
Its what every club person strives for isn't it?

What ever, I don't care lol - you're confusing me :lol:

Moral of the story is NO ONE is entering SAAFL in D5 next season - they will be placed higher or lower depending who they are. This is fact.

at this stage no club is joining saafl and there will be 9 teams in div 5, so you might wanna finish 3rd in div 6 and youll also get promoted cos 3 teams will have to go up #inglefarm

anyways any idiot who votes no to brighton leaving will assist their club in remaining in 30 goal noncompetitive victories every second week for another 5 years
Brighton play cove, morphie park, reynella, flaggies and christies in the next 5 games. If they win ANY of those games by 30 goals i'll eat me hat!

Sure there are some inequities in the comp but when you play the lesser teams it gives you an opportunity to rest blokes and have a look at some youth.
Marbles you peddle some tripe.

What honestly would be the point of playing 1 U'9's game as a curtain raiser to the C grade when the club has their remaining 4-5 junior sides playing on the Sunday? Especially when many families have more than 1 player in the family and they play another grade.

Thats the whole point you are missing, the SFL is based on playing 5 matches on the same ground, same day. Juniors and families are then connected to the seniors, with joint presso's that night to finish the day off. Im not sure how you can;t see the benefit of that.

This is one of the issues that Brighton will no doubt debate.

Well said dutchy.
It should be the major debating point.

Brighton got belted by 100 points today.....div 3 might be too high?

I'm still flummoxed that Zampa didn't get picked.
What was the reason given?
Surely we should expose him to the dry dusties over there?

Geez some of you blokes a harsh!
The same blokes who said Smith was never a test player.
I know i know...its a forum...everyone gets an opinion.
Just make it a little balanced.
Constantly bagging selection and individuals is boring.
Sometimes doing the above stimulates conversation.
Oh and until this series we were top.

JOKE.

Love him to come out and say...only kidding I'm going around again in 2017.
Sad way to end a brilliant career!

I bet the divorce lawyers are loving it.Their incomes will double now.
$160 million is a friggin disgrace!
The people we have to vote for to run the country can make a decision on our behalf.
BUT they wont because unless its a secret ballot, the homophobic liberal right will get called out.
A bit like unmasking a KKK member.
So the taxpayer pays.....that sucks!

We bought covers for a reason!

Maxwell should take siddles advice and shut up. You now look like a fool dickhead.

Well who would have thunk it.
The back six can get blind tonight, they deserve it!

Who's gonna be the first media outlet to say....
Bugg swatted for 6 ?

Cotchin deliberately struck an opponent in the guts.....its still striking!
If the AFL are serious about this gut punching rubbish, which shits me, then rub him out for 1 game.
IMO striking is striking, get rid of it.

2 more years of a $hit game plan
I haven't renewed my membership for a couple of years - 2 more to go

Hey Buckley: it's no use having a game plan that relies on players kicking a maximum 15m when your players cant kick the distance accurately

Collingwood don't need "supporters" like you
No footy club does.
I'm OK with the decision as there is no outstanding applicant available.
With the right people around him I reckon we'll go OK next year.

I think ms Cash is in some trouble over this. Bloody witch hunt!

just quietly, who the hell approved Handscombe to bat like he did ?
Facing most probably the best 2 swing bowlers in current cricket history yet still sits back on his stumps, no aggression to push forward, just survive.
Was there no observation beforehand ?
Very poor in my opinion despite his painful yet valuable 50 odd runs for the game.
Far better options than him if he is going to continue to bat like that.
Most blokes bat outside their crease to combat swing, and cut off the deck.
Makes getting out lbw harder.
Its tragic watching him go that far back blocking half volleys.
Bunny in the spotlight against a moving ball.

And to those of you who think it was solely Smith's decision not to enforce the follow on are dreaming.

Marsh has to make 200 just to break even for that dropped catch.
Root should be ashamed of himself to.

Why risk your number 1 bowler in a dead rubber when the tour of SA is just around the corner?
Was mentioned on radio this morning that Starc’s injury could be made worse by too much rest and that the best thing for it is to get work into it


Really? With no knowledge of it at all, that makes no sense to me
What they are trying to say, nicely, is harden up princess its a bruise!

Sorry to any offence taking ****wits, Murali threw it all day, everyday.
So Gary the goat it is.

Mick Doohan. Won 5 GP titles in a row.
Back when 2 stroke 500's were in.
Came back after nearly losing a leg.
Gutsy and fast!

I heard last night that next year 12's and 10's will be playing on shorter turf wickets.
Brighton did it on their no1 ground on the weekend, so bowlers running in on a good length.
Curators nightmare!

Oops just saw the opposite angle footage so I'll retract my previous post.
Pretty poor from Lyon.

OK so there's the benchmark.

Its OK to scream in the batsman's face or deliberately shoulder an outgoing batsman.
Can of worms much?

I'm totally embarrassed to be Australian today.
Smith and warner out as leaders.
Bancroft or someone else should have said no, we win fairly or not at all.
Well done on bringing the reputation of Australian cricket into the gutter lads!

I'll pose this question.
What if it was discussed and smith said no, but they went ahead anyway.
Plausible.

The Geeves article was rubbish!
The blame lays squarely at Bancroft not CA. He could've and should've said piss off!
He effectively sacrificed his career on international TV in the dumbest cheating attempt ever.
The punishments fit the crime although i think Bancroft is very lucky.
I would hope playing club cricket doesn't equate to their 100 hours unless they are volunteering in the canteen on Sundays or coach juniors, selling raffle tickets, cooking barbys etc......and this must be logged accurately!

Geez that was gruesome!
Had to be done unfortunately.
Someone should've knocked out the dipshit with the mafs dribble!

Although I feel for Smith, all three of them dragged all us cricket fans into the gutter.
We are now branded as cheats... a tag that doesn't fit 400 odd other blokes who played within the spirit of the game.
They have brought the Australian game into disrepute. I couldn't care less about other countries and the penalties they've dished out.
This is Australian cricket culture, not Pakistan or England or anybody else.
Precedents start somewhere and 12 months is about right but I would restrict their playing to be only club cricket.

I can hear the barmy army warming up for next year.
Aussie supporters over there will need crocodile skin.

Gordon Carey appointed coach at Reynella.
Decent get!

Maynes impressed me this year. I thought he was cooked. Another feather in Buckleys cap.
I'm a little concerned with Elliott's body not holding up.
Add Reid's continual " leg" problems and that makes the list managers job more difficult.
Important draft this year!

A lot of people (yes you Robbie Slater) having a crack at "our" Bert for not bringing on Timmy against the Danes. We need to remember that Timmy hasn't played much for a long time. If Warren Joyce can't give hime time for Melbourne City and Neil Harris can't give him time for Millwall FC then it's hardly surprising that Bert hasn't used him. I believe Timmy is more value as a mentor than anything he can offer on field. That said I hope he gets on the park against Peru and scores.
I don't reckon he's forgotten how to nod one in the back of the net.
Give him the last 10-15 minutes, doubt he'd blow up in that time.

Are we at all shocked. He's a bloody awful media commentator.
No excuses for what he said.
Mates talking in a front bar isn't the same as the whole MMM audience.
I don't get why he's a hall of famer in the first place.
He could've killed staker, and didn't he just recently belt a bloke in the ammos?

Bad joke for prime time radio.

Ok joke in a group. Male and female. I hang around females in a sporting setting a lot, and what they say about men AND women in a sexual context wouldn't be much different to what Big Bad Barry said.

F**k me (can I say that?), the ivory towers are getting taller.

Absolutely, about the sum of it.

In saying that, I've generally got no filter when it comes to jokes but I did find his one very distasteful.
Haha I see what you did there. Be careful lol

Everybody saying he's overrated ask yourself the question.

Would he be in your clubs best 22?
If you answered no you are kidding yourself.

I have to disagree.
There's an ice epidemic happening in rural areas across Australia at the moment that is ruining whole communities lives.
Dealers known to police but somehow when raided they find nothing?
Insane amounts of money being made off this crap and the penalties are not enough of a deterrent.
Anyhow it just shows how out of touch the liberal party is.

I think the captaincy carrot dangled in front of him got the deal done.
Walker won't be skipper next year.

Playing on concrete can't be great for the body 18 times though.

How many times does the player know he's had no prior opportunity so just absorbs the tackle without really trying to dispose of it?
Maybe if you are caught with the ball regardless of prior opportunity its holding the ball.
That'll do 2 things...reward a solid tackle and, the players will tend to tap it into space releasing a runner. Ala Cyril.
Just a thought.

Michaela better be cashed up to fight potential criminal charges re union raids.

I so hope this is the case. Her smug attitude gives me the irrates!

Only 3* more years of Kenny Port Fans, look at the positives.

*unless they extend his contract for no reason like they did last time :lol:

58% win percentage. 7th best of current day coaches. 3 finals series in 5 years, perhaps 4 in 6 this year.

Who do you suggest replaces him?

You can have a 99% win percentage but if you can’t win finals it’s pointless making them.
If you have 99% win rate you are winning finals lol

Carlton to offer pick 1 to the crows, what the crows gonna give carlton for mighty henley shark jack lukosius :)
Will Lukosios be a genuine superstar, or will he be another Sam Durdin? In recent years most of the tall forwards who have dominated at U18's and been high draft picks haven't really set the world on fire - Schache, McCartin, Boyd, Patton etc
He reminds me of Jack Watts. Similar build and skill sets.
Hope he turns out a better player?

Jenkins >>> Dixon
I don't get the negative stuff on Jenkins. Can play and was good today.

I get it. For a bloke his size he doesn't compete in the air enough
I'm not a crows supporter but did you actually watch his game tonight?
Sure, like all big units he has his deficiency's but he's so important for the crows.
Rather have him than Dixon.

If he was aiming for his head it was a strange punch?
Aiming for the guts but missed lol.

If he hasn't got form he'll get 4.
Should be 6 if he's got any record at all (including fines).

Was the knee intentional though? Is everyone on the same page with it? I don't think it would be something that would be easily done running full speed and deliberately trying to get someone like that.
He actually stutter stepped to time it right. Gutless act and if the victim wants to press charges good on him.

This sort of stuff is just plain dangerous. He could have killed the bloke.
So cop your whack buddy and if the club gets deregistered so be it.

News in: Two cases dismissed, found not guilty of the knee and guilty of the elbow - received 4 games and 4 suspended.
Not guilty of the knee that's gotta be bulls#@t surely?
He bloody changed step to time the contact just right.

Geez I fell in there Bedge.

I didn't read the rest of your post otherwise I would've realised your humour?

I guess the writing was on the wall when snake Morrison put his arm around him and gave him his support.
24 hours later complete backflip.

Embarrassing bunch of turncoats that can't be trusted!

Like the prez coming out saying the coach has full support Turnbull is toast.
