    We have a million reasons to detest McGuire. One of them is that he's a terrible caller. He didn't happen to mention the Swans/Pies game, did he?

    Hoping like hell that the Demons can kill 2 birds with one stone today - smash Carlton and therefore take back top spot from the Fairypuppies!

    North Melbourne have 2 losing streaks of over 30 games dating back to the 1930s. After the treatment of Goodesy by North supporters, I'm more than happy for the Kangaroos to again top our record of 29 straight losses.
    Hi Sandridge, I do remember that day in 1973 being also an old South supporter myself. Have found (brief) after match celebrations footage taken from the Sensational Seventies doco. It starts around the 4:40 mark. (There's also bonus footage beforehand of Pitura & Padley of Fitzroy striking each other at the Lake Oval, each receiving suspensions)

    Huge thanks for that KSAS! Fantastic!

    I was on the ground celebrating at the end of that game! It was magnificent!

    Good left hook by Pitura.

    Do we want Freo beaten and dispirited by the Bombers? Or do we want them winning and full of false confidence next week?

    To be honest, I never minded Clarko that much, till he started telling the AFL how to umpire the game and in particular took cheap shots at Rampe and Papley.

    Then he just became a cranky old turd.

    And here’s what most Hawks fans have not realised. The bet he made on their list at the end of 2018, to go get Wingard, was a colossal blue. Port went thank you, and it helped them get Rozee, Butters and Dursma - as well as Burton - and they’ve flourished ever since.

    And the Hawks now have a rotten list that condemns them to failure for at least five years. Screw him.

    Since they're often wildly inconsistent, probably the latter.

    Very good question.

    On the one hand you'd like them to have cruised to an easy victory, but might be good if they'd exhausted themselves in the game too. If they got totally destroyed by the Bombers, would that help?

    I agree he is terrible caller. He's always shouting!

    On Friday night when they were previewing our game he said it's "Good v Evil" forgetting we were the home team. He was right 🙂.

    As a commentator, he's at least supposed to pretend he's impartial. He's too arrogant to do that. His involvement in the slanging match with David Koch over the Power's prison bar jumper shows that it still hasn't hit him yet that he's just a commentator now, and that's all.
