I just had to start this thread again as I know Del is itching to talk about the footy results on the weekend.

Franklin looked alright.....
not sure what was better - the way port won or the way the crows lost
...or ben cousins going down in the third quarter
It was particularly nice of Neil Craig to put the Crows worst defender on him - then leave him there the entire game even though he was getting thrashed.
Worst coaching decision ever!!!!
Between a very average coach & a selfish captain the Crows never stood a chance. Their elderly list didnt help the cause either.
Geelong will take out the flag.
To win by 100 points in the finals, against the Kangaroos who are a good side,
the roos are a good side. geelong are just unbelievable at the moment
the cats played at least twice as good as every other side on the weekend. probably more.
the crows played like they had done all year. not good enough. and they got what they deserved.
port looked alright, but they only just won at home to west coast (who have been pretty shit for a number of weeks now). they themselves didn't play very well, and only won when west coast's injuries started to take effect.
collingwood looked great saturday night to be honest.
if geelong don't win the flag, then i'll be a very surprised man. they are twice the side of teams like port/collingwood/ hawthorn and west coast and more for the rest.
i reckon it will definitely be a port v geelong g/f, but i reckon the cats will smash them.

Interesting game tonight im hoping the hawks get up purely because of the hoodoo the kangaroos seem to hold over port.
fuck the collingwood and west coast game was scrapy as hell but what a finish. Dont think ive ever seen an AFL game go to extra time for a result. The players were fucked by the end of the game. Collingwood scraped through agaisnt the eagles without 3 match winners in the team. They will have to improve about 150% if they are going to get near geelong. I hope they can get up and be competative after the effort they had to put in for the win last night. As much as is pains me to say the cats look to be in a leauge of their own.

Franklin may be capable of some big things but he is way to inconsistent to be considered a champion just yet. Looks like
Do we not think maybe people are expecting too much from him?
He kicked 3 and was shit?
Interersting to read that Carloine Wilson has said Chris Judd will be Carltons Captain next year. Now, i cant stand her, but she is often spot on with her "sources". As long as it doesnt involve trading pick 1, that'd be pretty much one of the greatest things ever to happen to me.

doubt they'd get Judd without trading pick one, AND a decent player, if not more.
I'd like to see him in another team though.
disagree. Dont forget we have pick 3 too.
pick three is for ian perrie tho.
i think we've beaten the roos the last few times we played them. i reckon after a week off and no little niggles port will have too many runners for them. hopefully rawlings gets sited for smacking hodge in the face too. i havent been confident in them all year but im feeling pretty good about this one.
north have won 13 out of the past 17 games you have played.
I'm more interested in the BBQ & beers option somewhere to be honest. The guys I've spoken to are thinking the same.
I'd rather save the money for Parklife the next day. Its not like we can watch that on TV.
All Australian selectors must be smoking crack to make McLeod captain.
What are you fucking kidding me
a mate told me that when cousins went off with his hammy dennis cometti said " he is going to get some ice"
Well Judd has walked from West Coast- fuck they would be gutted!
It's going to shatter him playing out the rest of his dominant years at a non competitive club (Carlton) though. *baits hook*
As much as I hate the idea, I reckon Collingwood are going to get Judd.
Nothing against Carlton, but I reckon the pies have a lot more to offer. Especially for a player used to playing well into September.
Weve got more room in the salary cap, the 5 richest man in australia runnin the joint and a lot more to offer the Eagles. And u think the eagles will wanna deal with the pies after theyve just knocked em out the finals? I reckon judd will pick a couple clubs, tell the Eagles who will then decide "yes, we will work with them" THEN we'll get the Chris Judd announcement of where he wants to go
if he does go in the PSD(cant see it happenin) he can put a price on himself $ wise. If richmond cant afford him, we can:)
crows lost hudson today too. ouch.
back to only having one ruckman next year again coming off major knee surgery. as if the crows didnt try and negotiate to keep him seeing that he pretty much rucked all year by himself.
as if you'd offer a 30 year old a three year deal when he's only been back a year after surgery though.
i reckon he's being a prick considering the crows did the right thing by him while he was injured.
don't care that much though, i kinda wanted him to get the arse anyway. he just doesn't win a tap.
a-he's 29
b- if he can get a three year deal elsewhere, why shouldnt he?. Hasnt been in the league long. Financially would want as much security as possible. Thats fair enough

sorry, i thought he was 30.
looks like the crows are going to get a pretty good deal out of all of that anyway. i'd happily trade a 29 year old with a shoddy knee for a 20 year old with a heap of promise.
he was pretty average this year. del always goes on about how he was no1 in hard ball gets at the crows this year. that's because he's useless and can't win a tap. fucking hits the ground most of the time and he has to try and fix his shit rucking.
Wow, what an aweful comback. The internet just lost something.......
Anyway....
see thats the thing. Its weird but i actually dont mind the power. Come showdowns i hope they smack Adelaide. But the Cornes boys fkn shit me. Fantastic players, But chad is the biggest sook in the comp, and Kane takes more dives than an italian soccer player
and they can both happily dry there eyes with their all australian awards....
see:they are fantastic players
agreed. But my god does Kane Cornes take a dive. He's like a fkn plover

Matthew Richardson
And this year, Chad Cornes has shed more tears than Richo, no question. In his mind, He's never given a free kick away in his life
not even, chad is the only person who has a whinge and no carlton player would ever complain would they..
