Something something global warming

Also, Daisy Pearce should’ve gone with the balaklava.

Dogs 50 points up halfway through the 2nd. The Bombers spot in the top 8 is shaky.

Please, you're getting my hopes up here

A 104 point thumping! Their percentage is down to 93.8. They've got Freo @ Optus then the Pies at the G. They could be gawn!

And North score 1.8.14 for the whole game. Their lowest score ever.

 

[Bullet Club]

Saints score a goal with 39 seconds left on the clock to win. Freo just blew a big top 8 chance.

Talkin’ about “what a player”, Darcy “Thunder Thighs” Fogarty gave me a semi-chub yesterday.

Feel free to print that.

 

[Bullet Club]

Carlton won't be offering Daisy Thomas a new contract, according to Tom Browne.

Tigers/Eagles was a cracker.

Tigers/Eagles was a cracker.

Certainly was. I really wish Reiwoldt wouldn’t lead with his studs in every marking contest. He almost tore that dudes ACL. Pretty low act.

 

[Bullet Club]

Yeah that one where he went studs up on Barrass in the leg wasn't great.

Don't know if he deserved a free against for the one late in the game though.

 

[Bullet Club]

Back to back Pies/Bombers games if that happens.

 

[MacReady13]

Back to back Pies/Bombers games if that happens.

That bombers* percentage is horrendous for a supposed top 8 team. Obviously it’s not set in stone as they have yet to play Friday night, but god they’re a pretty lucky team to make the top 8. Them and GWS to be honest.

This season couldn't end sooner for me (Dees).

From top 4 to bottom 4. It got to be a kick in the guts after being down for so long and looking like you were going to be a power club again,

Dumb questions, bt looking at the standings and then googling it, wins are worth 4pts and ties 2pts. Why not just make it 2pts and 1pt?

Is there a historical reason?

Nobody really knows but apparently when the game first started in the 1800s, you got 1 point for each quarter you won. Then they just made it 4 points if you win the game.

I never knew that, lol.

Freo have axed Ross Lyon.

Freo have axed Ross Lyon.

Wow. Why now and not years ago?

EDIT: Don Pyke homecoming? They can have him!

 

[Bullet Club]

They must have someone else lined up to be the new coach so dumped him now.

They were going nowhere with Ross anyway.

 

[Bullet Club]

So that's 4 coaches gone already this season, with Worsfold & Hinkley also shaky.

I can sense a Malthouse comeback, lol.

Oh boy!

At least the pressers would be more exciting again.

 

[Bullet Club]

David Hale is Freo's interim coach.

It looks like former Docker player and current Collingwood assistant coach Justin Longmuir could be the person Freo are after to be head coach.

 

[farmerboy]

Fucking Richmond by a goal. Need Lions to fix em up this week so Pies have a chance at top 4.

 

[Bullet Club]

A win's a win.

Hopefully Darcy is OK.

 

[farmerboy]

His soft tissue issues are a major concern.

 

[Bullet Club]

 

[Bullet Club]

Come on Hawks, hold on!

 

[Bullet Club]

Top 4 Pies!

Pies vs Cats week 1 of the finals.

 

[farmerboy]

Cant believe we made it. Should buy a hawks membership.

Still not convinced we're playing well enough, but it'd be nice to make another prelim.

 

[Bullet Club]

Doggies make the 8. They will be dangerous in September.

 

[Bullet Club]

Great game on at the moment. The Lions are taking it up to the Tigers.

Trade Rumours

 

[Bullet Club]

 

[Bullet Club]

Melbourne has delisted Jeff Garlett and Declan Keilty

North have delisted Nathan Hrovat.

Michael Gibbons and Hugh Goddard have both signed one-year rookie extensions with Carlton.

Goldsack will retire at the end of the season.

The Dees might trade pick 2.

 

[Bullet Club]

Coniglio has re-signed with GWS for 7 years.

 

[Scopa]

Coniglio has re-signed with GWS for 7 years.

7 years? Far out...

 

[Bullet Club]

7 years? Far out...

Yep. It's massive.

Good on GWS for keeping a good player.

The Suns on the other hand have 1st year rookies that want out.

 

[Bullet Club]

Apparently the Crows have delisted Eddie Betts.

Billy Longer, Lewis Pierce, David Armitage & Sam Rowe have not been offered new contracts by the Saints.

Edit: The Crows have said that Betts hasn't been delisted.

The Suns are going to offer him a multi-year deal.

 

[Bullet Club]

 

[MacReady13]

Apart from 1 or 2 injuries for short term periods, have the Lions for at least the last 2 years had ANY major injuries, long term, to ANY quality players?

 

[Bullet Club]

Boy oh boy wowee at this EJX stuff.

 

[Bullet Club]

SEN reported that Josh Kennedy (WCE) had done his knee, but apparently it's not true.

To answer MacReady13's question:

Number of players who played every game of the 2019 home and away season by club;

11 Brisbane
9 Bulldogs
8 Collingwood, Freo, Sydney
7 Crows, Demons, North, Saints
6 Geelong, Hawthorn
5 GWS, West Coast
4 Suns
3 Carlton, Essendon
2 Port, Richmond.

Brisbane also had another 4 players that played 20 games. So not many injuries at the Lions.
