AFL. NFL for cheapskates.

why are team still wearing their indigenous jumpers, when it's not indigenous round?

Was watching the footy & feeling pretty smug about the Dees dismantling of the dogs until i checked my tipping & found i had accidentally picked the Dogs. banghead

Must say I'm surprised at the Bugga's choice of co-conspirator....all but the most seriously ego-addled hyper-critics have now conceded that Jack Watts can play, and pretty goddam well too, but I can't see him among the 15 most physically intimidating presences in this Melbourne side.

What is JJ being sledged about anyway - his hair style, the fact that he's one of Taips's mob, or his resemblance to Dave Lister from Red Dwarf?

The mighty, fighting Hawks show a bit of form for a change & defeat the over-rated Crows by 14 pts.

Of course they did after everyone tipped the Crows. Mad

Hawks fans will catch up on all others after this week. Only club loyalty could account for that tip.

Amazing finish tonight. The Swans snatch victory after trailing by 19 pts with four & a half minutes to go.

by lardbucket Fri 23 Jun 2017, 13:34

Great game ... there have been some very good Friday night games this year!

WTF!!!??? I looked at the score with a few minutes left and thought "Stoopid Swans"!!! Their kicking had been woefully inaccurate up to that point.

by Nath Fri 23 Jun 2017, 23:49

some really dumb football by Essendon not to kill that game, but well played Swans.

by horace Sat 24 Jun 2017, 23:06

I am still shouting ,"Huzzah" at random moments 36 hours after the game. Have watched the last 4 and a half minutes several times. Still am amazed. Best late comeback from the Bloods since Nick Bloody Davis kicked four in the last quarter against the Cats in 2005.

Indeed, but once Daniher had taken that mark, the Dons should never have gone down.

Yet another close game; many games decided by just a few points in the last few weeks.

by JGK Sun 25 Jun 2017, 07:13

What a choke though from Freo.

by lardbucket Sun 25 Jun 2017, 07:29

Aye. Glad of it and will take it, though!

5/7 so far; probably not unusual even though so many of the games have ended up so close. I didn't tip the Hawks and didn't tip Melbourne.
