Round 24: the other games.

is'nt wonderful Dogs dont make 8. Always said 2016 win was too early and that they got the umpires and afl on their side. even th afl finally had to say umpiring was poor in grand final.

If the dogs never make the finals again, the world will be in a good place. Until at least we beat them in highly controversial circumstances in ideally a Grand Final, if not a big final, where they get royally screwed over by the umps. Until then, they can, along with Carlton, rot in purgatory.

Job done, Bulldogs out. Suck on that Fairypups.

[Thunder Shaker]

Gold Coast are on track to record their biggest ever win.

[Sandridge]

Bit of a shame if Goldstein ends his career with a nasty head knock.

Friendly fire, too.

The Bombers are on the beach. Zero motivation to be even
out there.

Having missed out on mad Monday, I suspect that the Bulldogs players have now kicked off wasted Wednesday. Which will probably morph into @@@@tard Thursday.

[dejavoodoo44]

Rowell has a handy 58 fantasy points in the first quarter.

[Sandridge]

Great start Suns! Keep it up!!

[dejavoodoo44]

Ben King's goalkicking has been impressive of late. Go the Suns!

[Blood Fever]

Hawks and Doggies going down - a good daily double.

[Thunder Shaker]

Why such a short turn around for the Suns .
Seems unfair.

Suns have to make up the game they couldn't play due to the cyclone in March.

The AFL suck at drafting fixtures. They haven't learned their lesson from the 2020 season: fixtures need contingencies and the AFL fixture has little resilience to handle postponed games.

If the AFL knew what they were doing, they would get rid of the Opening Round and make a split round 1. If the wind is blowing dogs off chains in SE Queensland again, they would have a convenient time to reschedule the postponed match.

Another thing they should do to make the fixture more flexible is make the final rounds of the season double-up games. Teams play each other once in the first 18 rounds and then the double-up games make up the remainder. It used to be scheduled this way but the AFL changed to new software and this feature was lost.

[dejavoodoo44]

Brisbane are leading the free kick count 9-5, but it seems to me that pretty well all the dodgy decisions have gone Hawthorn's way.

This is not really about the Dogs, but a few months ago most of the Melb media were hailing the reinvention of Lobb as a defender as a masterstroke, when in fact he revealed himself today once again as one of the great, all time pretenders and soft cocks in the AFL, as he has been for a decade.
