I don't mind what the AFL do in China's as long as no Sydney team is ever involved.
Didn’t help the Saints,, they kicked 9.15!
Poors sods: they fly to China, 5 players+coach get sick, they have to fly in two replacement players, Geary on return from horrible leg surgery suffers suspected broken leg, AND they get thrashed by 70 points. What a nightmare.
Interesting weekend.
Freo win because of, surprise, surprise, goal review @@@@ up.
China venture is such rubbish, how do the AFL & Port con some sucker team into giving up a home game to play over there. At least the local interest is big. What was there, half a stadium of spectators and probably 90% fly ins from Australia. If you are Stewie Dew or this year Alan Richardson, your heart would sink when your club tells you they've given away a winnable game to go on this misadventure. Sick players, broken leg, rest of season shot, at least it's to our advantage as we hold St.Kilda's second pick, currently 25 and going higher.
Melbourne, 1.12? in the last 40 minutes, simple goal missed on the siren. Feel sorry for their supporters after last season promised so much.
Carlton, I've got a famous Deep Purple song playing in my head "Blood in the water". This club is a quagmire, Messiah SOS has mucked up their list rebuild big time, handed Crows the number 1 pick and like at GWS, a heap of his high draft picks look dross or busts. Some of their most important players are turning, 32, 33, 36 next year, the pain will continue for another decade IMO. Bolton dead man walking.
Yep, interesting weekend!
I recall last year in game against North at SCG, McVeigh touching the ball in similar circumstances as Mayne which also wasn't reviewed after North had goaled. We lost game by less than a kick as well. There is so much more noise about this one because it involved Collingwood. Secondly, AFL didn't learn from last year's blunder.
All this noise about Collingwood losing because of a touch. if it had happened near the end of the game, then yes, justified that they were "robbed", but this occurred in the third quarter! So it unfortunate for Collingwood that it occurred but they still had the last quarter to kick a winning score.
Round 11 fallout: looks like Bolton is about to be sacked.
