Opinion Non-Crows AFL 12: It's the confectionery with 1000 uses

[Moonwatcher]

Though our 2nd round pick would have been an early rnd 2

 

[pjcrows]

Nick Daicos is a jet, but he kicks 15 metres to a spare teammate in acres of space and the commentators jizz themselves.

 

[Moonwatcher]

8 goals 3 has kept Essendon in it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Poor Billy

That was a pretty soft free

 

[Cromulant]

Collingwood just too clean in the wet weather.

Essendon have tried hard to their credit

 

[cmndstab]

There should be a 40 point limit on blockbuster game losses

Eg if you lose by 40+ points you get punted from the timeslot next season

Use it or lose it

Party ping pong rules, winner gets to go again next year and loser goes to the back of the line.

Would make for a great media narrative, with teams lining up to knock off the team who has owned it for years.

 

[Moonwatcher]

That'll do pig

 

[Moonwatcher]

Essendon defence is not very good.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Did they give a crowd number?

 

[Rabman]

Did they give a crowd number?

92,044

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

41 points

Sorry Bombers, by my rules you're off Anzac Day next year

 

[Moonwatcher]

92,044

That's why they get ANZAC Day.

 

[Carn The Texan]

Commentators on both Fox and 3AW obsessing about statistics when they talk about the ANZAC medal. Really dire situation to have Tony Shaw caring about total disposals.

People do go for jail for unprovoked attacks on innocent people that puts them in hospital... so it's you who has been living under a rock!

The fact you are taking Balta's side of violence says much about you as a person.

Who said I’m taking Balta’s side? What he did was wrong.

But let’s look at this. He pushed someone to the ground and threw three or four punches. Unless you have an incredibly long criminal history, you are not going to jail for that.

It happens all the time. You’re only outraged at the Balta incident because it is so far removed from your day to day

 

[CrowTownRoad]

He could quite easily have killed someone, so yeah he should have.

Do tell us about your criminal record though

You could kill someone by speeding… does everyone who gets caught speeding deserve jail time?

I miss the days when players just brandished firearms.

I miss the days when players just brandished firearms.

Yeah, what's wrong with just setting a dwarf on fire like the good old days?

 

[Peter Doherty]

Yeah, what's wrong with just setting a dwarf on fire like the good old days?

The world's gone mad. We've lost our way.

 

[Samcro24]

Yeah, what's wrong with just setting a dwarf on fire like the good old days?

I’m not sure you’re allowed to call them that

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I’m not sure you’re allowed to call them that

Sorry... early 2010s

Dwarf set on fire by Aussie Rules footballers during alcohol-fuelled 'Mad Monday' end-of-season celebration

Midfielder Clinton Jones, of Melbourne's St Kilda Saints team, has been fined $3,000 and apologised for setting alight to the flammable fancy dress costume of a dwarf booked as entertainment.

If I killed someone via speeding I'd expect it.

You've not got a lot between the ears have you

it's all the morons talk abut is stats - putting me off the sport totally .."and Joe Blogs takes his mouthgurad out in the forward half for the 5th time, top 70 percent in the competition since 1876..."

So did Balta kill someone?

 

[PeterSalt]

That's so dodgy. Pies said Moore just had a cut ear but now he has "vertigo". Another team lying about concussion. At least they didn't bring him back on but they were clearly trying to game the system so he wouldn't miss a game.

At least it's legitimately plausible.

Inner ear injuries can directly affect our balance.
