Footy 2026
Two weeks in and no thread so thought I'd start one.
With world war 3 happening I have to say footy is a welcome distraction and especially an Eagles win on the board.
I have a bet with a mate for an expensive bottle of red that the Eagles will win 4 or more games this year, on track imo with our new group of young lads lead by Murdock.
So good to see Yeo back on the track he brings the much needed leadership on field we need.
So a fantastic win yesterday for the boys after a putrid/facepalming first quarter, the umpiriing for both sides was atrocious.
My ladder prediction at the end of the year:
GCS
Hawks
Freo (struggled to write that)
Dogs
Crows
Swans
Cats
Lions (hungover)
Pies
Saints
Blues
Port
Roos
Mighty WC
GWS
Demons
Tigers
Bombers
Love the West!

The AFL are a farce. Don't
The AFL are a farce. Don't like the decision keep appealing until you are happy. Line him up and take him out, then when at the tribunal plead that you didn't hit him and I've never been suspended even though I've copped 3 fines for doing the same thing.
Anyway Brisbanes for me as I think the experience they have will win in the end. Too many Dockers players have looked like rabbits in the headlights the last couple of weeks.

Why O why wouldn't you lock it down man on man and drag the clock down.

I think they started
I think they started celebrating early and the coaching didn't prepare them enough to hold their lead. They have been very good at coming from behind all year but that was a real choke. Shame for the supporters as this was a perfect opportunity to get that maiden flag. They were good enough all year but not when it counted most!
They say you need luck to win a flag and I think losing Alex Pearce was Freo's bad luck on the day. I doubt we would have seen all 4 of those goals conceded if he was stiil out there. Perhaps not having Brennan Cox in the team was also a mistake as he could have covered the loss of Pearce better. I guess we'll never know.
