Great win by the Tigers...boring game to watch up until the 4th Quarter.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:26 am

^ spot on.

Fantastic finish to an otherwise uneventful game... tbh, I think the win had a bit to play in the quality of football shown. Richmond and Melbourne are certainly not the most skilled of teams, but even by their standards it was some ordinary football displayed.

A lot of close games over the past fortnight. Has made for good, edge-of-the-seat viewing.

Bring on September...finals footy!

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:31 am

I forgot to put my tips in.

Damnit.

Good for McMahon to live a childhood dream - how was his face as soon as he realised he'd kicked it.

good to see.

V close games which is fantastic in the leadup to the finals.

Thank you West Coast for NOT tanking
If hawks are able make the finals now, we will win the premiership

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 11:07 am

I dont understand your logic there Almax.
If they make the finals now they would have worked so hard to get there they might not have anything left for the finals. Won't have a second chance and will probably go out first round TBH.

Damn Demons - just looked like a bunch of school kids running around. I'm starting to worry about Bailey as a coach.

Hawthorn - harder to pick than a broken nose

i reckon west coast tried to as well, but essendon just played so shit, so our pride got the better and we just started trying again... was looking forward to a good draft pick but really glad we won and proved we are a team with pride.

my logic is that its fucking unlikely that we will make the finals having to play St Kilda and Adelaide in the next 2 weeks, so if we can win those games, plus the other 2 we must be in form.
but yeah, very fucking unlikely, i hope St Kilda can take the flag if we can't.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 5:19 pm

ditto Al, i am gunning for the Saints if the Hawks boys don't get into the finals. Although watching the other day, fricken as if we will. My god that was painful. My boy turned the channel over cos i was yelling at the tele too much

i have managed to stuff up my tips two weeks in a row and now i will probably not get up enough to get any money or anything, dammit! from work tipping btw

spiral · Post by **spiral** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 9:54 pm

massive outs for the saints

almax · Post by **almax** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 10:31 am

Carn Hawks!

but....true to form they will probably win the saints match, then lose to Adelaide a week later...

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 10:42 am

Got a few big names who are not sures - going to be tight.

kronz · Post by **kronz** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 10:02 am

So i played footy yesterday, i had a great time until i had a run down the wing and then got taken out by a dude and have now fucked my right knee. My other injuries include:
-Sore right ankle;
-Lump on my right wrist;
-Both hands are bruised with extra tension on my left thumb;
-Both thighs a sore; and
-My shoulders are fucked.

In all i can hardly walk but have extra respect for all fotty players that go out there every weekend.

Big Ups!

On another note, what a fucking shit round!

Geelong WTF are you doing? What the Fuck is going on. FUCK!!!

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 10:14 am

How old are you Kronz?

Footy hurts more and more and more the older you get.

kronz · Post by **kronz** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 10:22 am

Nearly 27 but i dont play any sport (other than golf sometimes) or go to the gym so i knew it was coming.

However i did call in sick today so fuck it (coz i can hardly move), I might go to Bimbos for lunch just because i can.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 10:50 am

ahhhh yes - you're on the downward slope post 25 unless you're super fit.

my last game was 2 years ago....

I miss it though.....

such a good sport to play.

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 11:59 am

what team/league kronz?

almax · Post by **almax** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 12:01 pm

i cant believe hawthorn is still in with a chance to make the finals.
'09 over for us
Carn the Saints
Geelong are sliding, era of domination waning imo.

any opposing team with a player called Round Robbin shouldn't be taken seriously.

quick · Post by **quick** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 12:36 pm

Great game on Saturday... GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 1:29 pm

worst round of tipping ever! i got 3 as well and am now 7th on ladder.

i need to get rid of my Lizkins name on the ladder cos i don't even tip under that name anymore, although this week i should have cos i got the highest for the round lol

wtf is with Hawthorn????

Geelong, wtf???? massive upset that one

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 2:00 pm

^ Wasn't that big of an upset I don't think.

Geelong where missing there backline & there midfield didn't play that well.Carlton had a good night (well not that good as Fev only kicked 4) but still enough to win the game from start to finish.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 3:43 pm

^ Cheeky Bugger.

I would expect something along those lines from a Collingwood supporter; I can only suggest going and buying one of those glittery gold jackets so you can attempt to fit in with the dregs of the AFL's supporter network.

Upset of the round would have been West Coast over Bull Dogs.

WC was paying $10 on Friday night and they got up by 5 points.

Carlton was only paying $4.50

Blues for premiership.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 5:01 pm

nah come on Feigs, Carlton are playing really well but Geelong were the unstoppable power house. Its only been the last few weeks that they have come undone a bit, and there was always a chance they would be back with force. Also, they could be resting up for leading into the finals?

Amick · Post by **Amick** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 11:36 pm

st kilda vs essendon's game...

fourth quarter footy making my heart race.

Riewoltd's choke was disappointing. Serious pwn4ge if the Saints came back from being down by 41 points. But to lose by 2 points is still a stellar effort.

Spewin I wasn't at the 'G' to watch the melee, I was at home yelling at the tv getting rowdy and spillin beer. Jake King is a hack. Enough said.

bring on finals footy.

Collingwood set many records during the 1929 season, including:

First team to remain undefeated through an entire home-and away season (never matched).

THANK YOU ESSENDON!!!!

Playing Melbourne this week and finishing out with Adelaide.

WB have a tougher run home and sit one spot above.

You won't beat Adelaide at the TD.

lol i thought of you Fents, and my little sister's losing it at the end, watching that game.

i reckon every Essendon supporter would have been holding their breathe when Riewoldt marked the ball.

better tipping this week. was gonna tip Melbourne but i didn't change it before the game, dammit!
