Australian Football Stuff - not worthy of a thread

To be honest I want City to win because a) f**k Bling, b) the Heart strip is a good touch.

yep - basically it. They haven't won it yet so I want to share the love - SFC will get up the way this game is going.

Lol...Atkinsons has the ball at his feet, takes 2 touches then does an airswing standing still.

Tassie represent

Absolute credit to City - there's been a few times when defenders sprinting back to goal have saved the day.
I wonder if literally any of our defenders are watching this game?? Our players simply don't have that sort of commitment.
Hurts seeing Glover out there, and killing it too.

 

[greenlig]

Yeah Glover has been awesome. Najjarine has shocked me with how useless he’s been since coming in. Very little work rate or commitment. Thought he was one of the up and coming kids in the league.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

there it is. Grant is already on a card. Scores a goal, covered his head with his shirt. Mandatory yellow - city should be a man up.
Beath is so determined to avoid doing anything this game that he refuses to do his job (again). disgraceful.

I think Wales has gone backwards since leaving us? He really doesn’t have any end product. Looks flashy when he gets a few touches and runs, but he doesn’t have any depth to his game.

Sounds exactly like the player we had to be fair

10 and a half months since the first game and Sydney win. I hate this sport

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I feel like a GF not marred by atrocious refereeing really shouldn't be too much to ask for...

I counted no less than 7 ex-Mariners in that gf

Glover, Griffiths, Caceres, Redmayne, Wales, Buhagiar, Galloway, Wilkinson plus the 2 reserve keepers Tom Heward-Belle and Joe Gauci who was here on a scholarship

 

[Ironbark]

I forgot Griffiths

Three of them being Coastie born and bred hurt the most.

This. He was only really a bench player for us that we deemed not worthy of a second year contract at minimum wage.

I think he has progressed at City despite having an average grand final. Has had some good games throughout the season.

Which is laughable when you put it beside a bunch of other decisions and far more expensive players.

Popovic gone

I missed this news yesterday. But they still managed to sign a couple of players not knowing who the coach would be.

Be pissed if I were Nabbout or Atkinson. No doubt they signed mainly because of Poopa

And the money. Newcastle have none so Nabbout was always out the door
