VictoriaGooner Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Richmond comes up with a huge 10 point win at the Adelaide Oval. Now that puts them tied with Adelaide for the final Final Series berth. There is still hope for Richmond. Swans ran rampant on the Saints with a 70 point home win. Sydney takes top of the ladder...Big game on Sunday (Australia time) between Dockers and Hawks. That should be a good game to watch but both clubs have injury concerns. Well worth the watch for the neutral supporters. THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewp80 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well Richmond is back in 8th now.Been watching some games from the last two rounds thanks to Fox Sports 2. What an exciting and interesting sport! I need to find myself a team to root for. Thinking of rooting for a Gold Coast miracle (I've done quite a bit of researching of the sport the last couple weeks) So for you footy experts here on the boards, would love to have some help finding a team to root for. Been thinking Gold Coast or GWS since they don't have much history, and I feel it would be fun to watch a team grow. But I haven't settled on anything yet. Just glad I've found a sport to watch in the summer other than baseball. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

Just glad I've found a sport to watch in the summer other than baseball.With respect to selecting a club to follow, cheering for GWS or Gold Coast isn't a bad thing due to them not really having a history, something that can written for them. I do believe both clubs will get better over the years, especially Gold Coast with Brownlow Medal nominee Abblett playing for them. I support the Swans because they were involved in the first footy game I saw live in 2003 at the SCG when I was in Sydney with the Royal Canadian Navy: Sydney v Collingwood. Plus it was my first guernsey I bought. Whoever you support, top or bottom of the ladder club, the sport is great to watch and follow.

Sodboy13 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You know what would be a really, thoroughly, incredibly smart move? If the Swans rested as many of their best players as possible for this last round before the Finals. Definitely something they should do for the entire game against... oh, the name of their opponent escapes me.And so, a solid week of -talking between Mockba and me commences.

VictoriaGooner Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Huge loss for the Tigers this weekend as Dan Johnson, the club's reigning best-and-fairest winner, was charged with rough conduct for an incident in the fourth quarter in VFL action, and was hit with a one-match ban. A VFL spokesperson confirmed the Tigers had accepted the penalty, meaning Jackson will not be able to return to the senior side until the finals, should they get there. Big big loss for them. And for Swans resting players, doubt that is going to happen Especially with first flag premiers on the line. Only a four point margin between us and Hawks, Cats. Big games this weekend with Collingwood at home against Hawks, Dockers home to the Power, Cats home to the Lions and the aforementioned game. It's going to be a good ending to the Premiership.

VictoriaGooner Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Richmond make the Finals Series with a combination of a 3 point win over Sydney and Hawthorn destroying the Magpies at the MCG on Friday. It was a hard fought game by the Tigers I will give them that. You can tell the Swans were pacing themselves for the Finals, as long as they kept the scoreline close, they would be guaranteed a first flag premier title.Now the real season begins...Finals week One fixtures: THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad both were on TV late last night.Agreed...the Swans-Tigers and Blues-Bombers games were definitely amazing to watch, end to end action. AFL has tons of action, never a dull moment. Unless you are the Magpies and get stomped by the Hawks twice in a season. What's everyone's predictions for the opening weekend for the AFL Finals? Mine are:Cats def. Hawks by 10 pointsBombers def. Roos by 25 pointsTigers def. Power by 4 points (take their unbelievable run into the Finals)Swans def. Dockers by 30 points (Buddy Franklin will have a career night) THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wasn't this an issue during at least once during the season with Richmond, too? Time to go with the yellow jumper/black sash they use in the VFL as a change kit.
