Lol at Sydney fans calling irony when they are salary cap cheats
more likely its ausgaf continuously labelling essendon of cheats when theyve not yet been found guilty by anyone of such things.
edit saw the previous page, ok yeh he madddd
You don't hope for injuries mate, not even in your most hated teams =/

This. You never hope for injuries.
Well done Hawks. Cats did well to hang in there but Hawks ran over the top of them in the end with their fitness and just didn't put it on the scoreboard enough. But they got the win and it was well deserved all year.
Umpiring wasn't terrible. Couple of interesting decisions but didn't ruin the game like they have in the past.
Everyone get on the Dockers to win next week now.

Feels great to break the curse, thought we were gone at 3 quarter time
No, I have no love for Hawthorn. I dont bet. Just sick and tired of Geelong cheating and exploiting and bullying umpires into wrong decisions year after tear after year. And also sick of umpires making dumb calls like rioli and the out of bounds call in the last minute of the third term. Everything goes their way.
The only pleasure I get from this sport now is seeing cheats lose. Hopefully Sydney go down today.

I'm happy with the umpires call when they actually didn't know who kicked it. It's easy to see with the replay but not in real time.
It was Hawthorn's own fault they let a goal in from that stoppage.
The Rioli decision was just silly for mine. It was obvious he wasn't playing on and there was no advantage. Just call it back you fools.

Dockers are the second best team for the year for mine and it's no surprise the display they are putting on tonight.
Hawks haven't won the flag yet.

Hawthorn are a class side. Fremantle are too. Both deserve it, but I prefer the team who hasn't won one yet. Clarkson and Lyon are both the best coaches in the league as how they handle themselves goes.
Lol at Sydney complaining about headhunters though with Paul Roos. Sydney: your president is a muppet.

Fremantle may have backed up well on Geelong's home turf, but the MCG is a different kettle of fish. Their game plan will not stand up at the MCG against the Hawks.
Subiaco is a bigger ground than the mcg isn't it? I would assume both teams will be capable there.
Precisely.
Precisely.
Subi is longer but more narrow from memory. I'll go check
MCG - 160 metres x 141 metres
Kardinia - 170 metres x 115 metres (may be different since the redevelopment)
Subi - 175.6 metres x 122.4 metres

Kardinia Park is the right size according to their own site http://www.geelongaustralia.com.au/simondsstadium/venue/article/item/8cfbdeef53c83a1.aspx

LOL yeah damn that's salty. Especially considering they asked Roosy to take a 50% pay cut or whatever. Make no mistake though, no club will be safe from Roosy and Melbourne raiding other clubs. It'll be like a new franchise coming in again essentially.

Swans playing better this quarter but should be too little too late unfortunately.
I don't mind FA to be honest.
The AFL were forced into it I believe. They didn't want it but they also didn't want the AFLPA taking them to court about it.
I suspect if that happened then the draft would definitely have to go and maybe the salary cap.
I think the AFL have done the minimal amount of FA that they could have. All clubs will win some and lose some, but that can only come about if all clubs have the same total player payments.
All clubs need to have the same limit on total spend for players.

No compensation.
If all clubs get no compensation for losing a player to FA then it's fair.
Once the AFL arbitrary decides who is worth more based on contracts and if that club brings in other players or not is stupid.
Using my club for an example.
It's rumoured that if we lose Franklin to FA we'll get about pick 20. If we pick up Thomas due to FA then we won't have any compensation at all.
AFL's reasoning is that we've been compensated.
Well, it can be argued that we haven't been fully compensated or over compensated.
I'd say remove the doubt and arguing either way and just have no compensation and then there can be no complaints
