Odds on the ANZAC clash being horrendously shithouse?

1:1

Probably won't even be any Cloke to laugh at. This will certainly bring about more discussions of letting other teams play in it.

To be fair though, if my attention hadn't been called to a few outs in my team id have lost by a lot more, but still, damnit!

Also seconding not enjoying waking up to a world where Norf sit outright top of the ladder. Something must be done about this.

Lol if you think Boomer would stop at diving. Remember when he knocked the ball out of the hands of...Priddis? and then appealed for a 50 because it wasn't given directly back to him, and the umpire was dumb enough to fall for the loving cheat?

I'd imagine it'd be some kind of freak chain reaction started by Lindsay Thomas trying to draw a high tackle. That night, the MCG burns.

Or, there would be seconds left, Norf down by 5 point, Boomer gets the ball on the wing and takes 4 bounces, completely ignoring free team mates ahead of him for a shot at goal only for him to either miss everything with his shot on goal, or run out of time and not put boot to ball fast enough. That might actually make it worthwhile Norf making the GF only for Boomer's total selfishness to screw them out of the win.

I'd prefer Boomer to win a flag than for the Hawks to make another GF.

Roos v Crows GF with the Hawks being knocked out in straight sets despite a fully fit team and no excuses.

thepokey: Jul 20, 2004; Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.

I think the ideal (at least semi-realistic) scenario for me here would be:

Richmond out in the elimination final to Sydney after having smashed Sydney in round 23 and riding into week 1 of the finals in the highest of confidence.

Hawks win their qualifying final, carry no injuries and then lose in the prelim with no excuses (this probably gets them a priority pick though).

Roos lose their prelim because of Boomer's selfishness. Has played the most games ever by this stage yet makes a rookie mistake.

Dogs v Crows in the GF if their final last year was anything to go by. Dogs win and Bob Murphy at least gets to do a lap with them.

I hate Richmond so much. Especially because they're 1 from 4 and I can't make a slam dunk argument that they won't be in the finals. otoh they're Richmond and they could decide to be good Richmond for 12 straight loving weeks again.
I don't think they will be in the finals, but that's because they're playing so staggeringly badly.

I want a Derby final, but Freo are horseshit this year (Pav :sadwave:

). I want a Geelong-Adelaide final. I want a 100 point Hawks win over Geelong. I'd like it if both GWS and the Gold Coast made the finals.
And finally, I want a Hawks-Eagles final.

Jonathan Brown: Former Brisbane Lions Captain Says Players' Wives Should Keep Support Private

�I�m not sure, I don�t know Cotch that well but Cotch would have died, when he walked down to the newsagency the next day to grab the Herald Sun,� Brown told Nova 100.

Brooke Cotchin posted a supportive message on her Instagram account after Richmond�s heavy loss to West Coast and then agreed to an exclusive interview with the Sunday Herald Sun after the social media post gained traction.

�Expressing your feelings, you can understand but ... it�s the perception, obviously Richmond are going through a tough time, we just want to be big boys, we want to be men and it�s a man game.�

Brown said it was a �no-go zone� for his wife Kylie to make comments publicly during his decorated career at the Brisbane Lions.

�We get great support from our partners and our loved ones, they are there to support you at home, through the tough times, which is great, they do a fantastic job the girls, but they need to stay out of it publicly,� Brown said.

�This was a no-go zone from my wife Kylie, certainly I never had to muzzle her ... she would never have spoken publicly about it.�

Stolen from reddit, but:

The last time North finished a round on top of the ladder:

GWS and Gold Coast didn't exist.
Boomer Harvey was only 38 games into his career.
Our youngest player, Ben McKay, was 8 months and 7 days old.
The number one single in Australia was "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls.
Google was still five days away from launch.
We were still known as North Melbourne.

AND, Richmond were in 9th!

i can sorta see an argument in brown's comments

in this modern era of sporting some of these superstars have become almost like their own brand and they have managers for marketing and poo poo and in australia I guess that can all be interlinked with the club's stuff, so having someone as lowly as a 'WAG' having a tell all to the local rag off the back of some facebook comment without consent could be seen as detrimental

...or something, i dunno, he just sounded like the typical blokey bloke

If I was a professional footballer, and I was having a lengthy rough patch of form, I wouldn't want anyone fro my family, or my non-footballing friends, going to social media and then the rags giving me support. In private sure, but out in public the only people I would accept voicing support - I'd rather nothing was said at all, so the issue would go away - are team mates, coaches, and any pundits I don't think are total fucksticks.
