    Crowd Watch Mk 3

    Ground record for an NRL game. Hopefully 2013 can see more bums on seats.

    What a shit year

    Underwhelming finale. Storm never in doubt and should have won by more.

    Crowd Watch Mk 3

    Granted. But is it that unusual to give people the chance to win tickets to a game? I mean, what sort of quantities are we talking?

    Crowd Watch Mk 3

    With a few hours until kick off I'd be giving away some spare tickets also. It's all part of their promo strategy. Which, if we're honest, shits all over league.

    Crowd Watch 2012 Mk II

    While Manly are serial offenders, why isn't there the flexibility to consider moving such a game to an alternative venue or a Saturday afternoon even? I understand TV ratings are important but at what cost? Would such a game have drawn better on a Saturday or does the blame solely lie with Manly?

    Crowd Watch 2012

    Impressive crowd at Parra. Hopefully the last 15 minutyes gives them something to come back for!

    Lance Franklin 100 Goal Season Thread

    Mind you, he kicked 1.6 so he didn't look that much better!

    Lance Franklin 100 Goal Season Thread

    He didn't look to be throwing his head back as much at Subi the other night and looked much the better for it. Has probably collected a few soft frees of late but is still in the red re receiving the rub of the green from the umpiring constabulary.

    Gary Ablett Jnr

    He's a superstar and if anything has shocked in his ability to take his game fwd since moving to the GC. Wont be returning to the Cattery (unfortunately) as the suns will be chery ripe in a few years time for a genuine assault on the flag. Too many talented youngsters who will be anywhere from...

    Round 5

    Yesterday's game was an old fashioned slog fest. For the most part the pies looked to have it in safe keeping however was thrilled to see a gripping last quarter and the bombers surge back. Agree Kev, Watson was unfortunate in that he was in the act of kicking and with the new advantage rule, or...

    Is the AFL too reactionary?

    It does make you wonder where exactly the line will be drawn. 12 months ago these incidents (the Thomas one moreso than the Goodes one) were just part of the game. It seems however that there is increasing focus on the outcome of such innocuous incidents to opponents. I think Goodes should have...

    Crowd Watch 2012

    It's a good initiative. There should be more cross promotion. Its easier to swim with, rather than against, the tide.

    Crowd Watch 2012

    Outstanding crowd. Should look to build on this. Great game to boot!

    Round 3

    My tips for round 3 are: Pies (Cloke and Dawes to be too big) Tigers (if they can't win this...) Sydney (in a close one) Freo (at home & lions not that good me thinks) WB (playing a good style of contested football and ran Adelaide close) Bombers (Go Go Gadgets 350th) Eagles (will get ugly)...

    Round 3

    Considering WC play Carlton and Hawthorn both at home, this could well be right. They also have Freo who have a pretty good record in the derby in recent years. Swans have an easy start to the year - things get decidedly tougher in the run home.

    2012 Player Wrap Thread

    Agree with both player wraps thus far. Pendles is all class. Great hands, good vision, can win the contested footy and always seems to have time. Will ceetainly be the nexy captain of Collingwood - I'd think as early as next year to be honest. Maxwell is a good leader however questions are being...

    Lance Franklin 100 Goal Season Thread

    I suspect the angst at the free kicks paid to Franklin is that the chopping of the arms (minor incidental contact mostly) should be play on. If these were to be paid consistently all over the fground, there'd be 30-40 frees for this a week. The rule was introduced to stop defenders...

    GWS' Debut Year

    Fair enough. I'm actually not here to troll. I like both codes but I don't understand why people who clearly despise the AFL (or league on the BF site for that matter) would waste their time posting on a board that holds no interest to them? Not sure how that makes me the derp? ;-)

    GWS' Debut Year

    Awful lot of dopey fans putting their hands in their pockets for memberships each year. You know what memberships are dont you? I've seen the hugely successful campaign being run out of Gallop's garage. But then again, theres so much more to do in Sydney in Winter than Melbourne and thus us...

    2011 International Cup

    I agree. The pies do get a favorable draw. However it is unfair to proportion the entire blame at Eddie and Vlad. Every side in the AFL, Geelong included, request to play the pies twice, purely for the gate receipts.
